Chapter 24

****

"SEND ME HIS coordinates" sabi ni Devon kay Meter nang makita nito kung nasaan si Albert

Nilingon ni Devon si Ryu, ang hacker nya "Can you connect me to his phone?"

"Yeah sure" sabi nito saka mabilis na tumipa sa laptop na hawak nito

Nang sagutin ni Albert ang cellphone ay niloud speaker nya iyon

(Who's this?)

"Al, it's me"

(Devon...)

"Yeah. Would you mind to come over to our headquarters?" sabi nya at umupo sa isang silya

(I didn't do something stupid)

"It's not your business. I just want you to come over. I'm gonna ask some questions" sabi nya at tinignan ang screen

(Now?)

"Yeah, now." may diin na sabi nya

Rinig nyang bumuntong hininga si Albert (Okay. Give me thirty minutes)

Binaba nya ang tawag at pinagkrus ang braso "I'm glad, he's cooperating" sabi nya

"Who knows if he's still into you?" sabi ni Meter habang nakaharap sa laptop nito

Napangisi sya at umiling "Al knows how to move on, Silver. He's a chill type of guy"

"The last time you two saw each other, mukhang hindi pa sya nakakamove on" sabi nito

Napairap sya "How are you and Athena?"

"We're both breathing" sabi nito

"Still indenial, I see" nakangising sabi nya

"Don't meddle in your ex's lovelife, Devon" sabi nito na kinailing nya

"So, it's lovelife huh?"

Hinarap sya ni Meter at tinignan ng masama "Stop teasing me, Devon"

Ngumiti lang sya "Why don't you admit it, Silver? You like Athena"

"We just wanted to warm the night, nothing more, nothing less" sabi nito

"Warming the night over and over again?" nakangising sabi nya

Mas sumama ang tingin ni Meter sa kanya "Stop it or I'll burn your motorcycle"

"Chill, Silver. You're being cute now" sabi nya at napatingin sa pinto ng bumukas iyon "Khai!"

Nilapitan nya ito at niyakap "Missed me?"

Tumango ito at hinalikan sya sa noo. Biglang nilingon ni Khairro si Justine "Are we being too much? Is this PDA already?"

Inismiran lang sila ni Justine saka pinuntahan si Evelyn

Napangiti si Khairro at mabilis na dinampian ng halik ang labi nya "Did I make you wait?"

Umiling sya "We have a visitor" sabi nya

"Who?"

Bumukas ng pinto at pumasok si Phoenix kasama si Albert

"You asked for me?" tanong ni Albert at tinignan sya

Biglang nagsitayuan ang mga tao sa loob ng conference room. Tinaas ni Albert ang dalawang kamay "I mean no harm. Chill, agents" sabi ni Albert saka naupo sa bakanteng silya "So, what do you want?"
