A wish: 11:11

CHAPTER 20

11:11 Greatest Feeling

Some people says that the greatest feeling is being loved back by the person you love. But, for me, it is when I solve a big case.

"No one will leave this room unless I say so," I said full of authority.

Tahimik ang lahat habang kanya kanyang basa sa mga papel na nasa harap nila. Nahagip ng paningin ko si Catherine na nilalaro ang mga daliri ni Nathan. Habang si nathan ay seryoso lang na nagbabasa ng papel.

"Pierra." mahinang mura ko sa wikang espanyol.

Umirap ako kay Nathan nang mapatingin ito sa akin. He's just sitting infront of me pero may malaking agwat.

"Cappuccino Alert! Here's your cup of cappuccino and you also." binigay ni Nico ang dalawang cup kina Trev and Liah.

"Really?" tanong ko kay Nico.

"I put a cappuccino powder on your coats pocket this morning." sagot niya.

Kinapa ko ang bulsa ng coat ko at naramdaman ang baril dito. Right.

Cappucino is the code for gun. It is used when the culprit was around and have a gun with him.

"Woosshh. The barista has a cappuccino kanina. I saw it kaya I also get some for you guys." Nico told us.

Barista. Code for the culprit. This is exciting.

"Wait, you know the barista?" tanong ni Liah.

"Ay oo nga pala. Yes. I did the drill."  tugon nito.

Sakto namang may kumatok sa pinto. Nico's man went outside then when he came back may dala na itong folder. Iniabot nila ito sa akin.

I smirked when I read the name of the culprit. Meron na rin itong warrant of arrest. Iniabot ko kina Liah ito at halatang gulat ang mga ito.

"Okay. I still have some mercy here so stand up if you have a conscience left in you."

Nagulat ang mga tao dito sa loob nang magsalita ako. Nilingon ko si Catherine.

"Catherine." tawag ko.

"No. It's n-not me!" sigaw niya.

"I didn't say anything. Come here and read this. You are my secretary." kunot-noo kong wika.

She slowly stand up and walk towards me. Iniabot ko ang warrant of arrest sa kaniya upang basahin ito. Tumayo ako sa tabi niya.

"This warrant is issued for- OH MY GOSH!" nabitawan niya ang papel.

Mabilis kong inilabas ang baril mula sa aking coat at idniin ito sa tagiliran niya. Nico, Liah and Trev also pointed their guns on her.

Kinapa ko ang coat niya at kinuha ang baril niya dito. Mabilis ang naging kilos ni Nico at pinosasan si Catherine.

"Oh bitch you made us fly from the states to here just for your stupidity." wika ni Nico.

Nang maposasan na nila si Catherine ay marahas kong tinanggal ang butones ng damit niya at tinigna  ang kaniyang dibdib. Her wound is bleeding from the transplant.

"As I said. You can never run away. Not on my watch." wika ko.

Nagsisigaw ito habang kinakaladkad nina Nico papalabas. Nakita ko kung paano dumaan ang gulat sa mga mata ni Nathan.

"Cappuccino is the code for gun when you are with the culprit and barista is the code for the suspect." wika ko.

"How and when did you know?" tanong nung PNP Chief.
