PUTING ilaw ang sumalubong sa kaniyang mga mata nang unti-unti niya itong idilat. Gusto man niyang tumayo ay hindi niya magawa dahil sa panaka-nakang kirot ng kalamnan. Ramdam niya pa rin ang bawat sugat na itinamo sa kagabing laban.

Napakunot siya ng noo nang napagtanto na hindi naman siya nakarating sa ospital at nawalan na lamang ng malay sa sasakyan. Pinilit niyang umupo at nakita ang dalawang babae na nag-aalalang tumingin sa kaniya.

"Miss Lajani. We are Isah and Euree. Miss Vasiliev ordered us to track you." Magalang na sabi ni Isah.

"Since we detected that your location was not moving and you called someone." Napatingin siya sa lalaking nakangiti ngayon sa kaniya. "And he called us, then we decided to go here."

"You seemed to be unconscious when I called you. There is a sudden screech." Nagdadalawang-isip na sagot ni Augen. "Sorry for calling them. They are the only ones on your contacts aside from the two that was not answering."

"It's okay." Nabigla siya sa biglang kirot na nasa tagiliran. "What happened to me?"

"The doctor said that you lost a lot of blood but we managed to bring you on time. They did some tests and treated your wounds." Paunang sabi ni Euree habang may kinukuha sa bulsa. "I managed to remove the bullet on your arms so it won't be suspicious."

"I already told them that we were on a mission and the details are confidential." Ipinakita ni Isah ang isang FBI ID.

"Thank you." Tugon niya. Napatingin siya sa nakabendang kamay at paa. "But I don't remember any injury on my arm and leg."

"Your wrist and knee are broken. You might not noticed it when you were dealing with something." Saad ni Euree habang may kinakausap sa text. "Miss Vasiliev is here to fetch you after I texted her about what happened."

"Yeah. Badly need a service." She bores her eyes on the clock near the door. "How long was I asleep?"

"Straight two days. That's why I needed to call Miss Vasiliev." Kibit-balikat na sagot ni Isah na tinanguan niya.

Bugbog sarado ang buong katawan niya dahil kada kibot ay kusang kumikirot ang kaniyang mga sugat. Mukang hindi niya alintana ang mga iyon habang nakikipaglaban siya.

"Ream!" Kusa siyang napatigil nang marinig ang sigaw ni Poseidon na dali-daling lumapit sa kaniya. "You left me. Why did you do that?"

"Sorry. He really is a stubborn shithead. He kept on bugging me, asking me where the fuck you are." Pasaring ng bagong dating na Akilina na nakasandal sa pintuan. "Good work. Isah. Euree. And who the fuck is this guy?"

"Augen. Her lawyer." Magalang na sagot ni Augen.

"Oh. Arvanitis?" Nakataas na sagot ni Akilina habang nanunuring tinitigan nito. "Do you trust this guy?" Pagkuwan ay tinignan siya nito.

"Let him be. He's a man of principles and the greatest rival of your friend." Sagot niya bago muling tinignan si Poseidon na naaawang nakatingin sa kaniya. "Suprise?"

"I was worried about you." Mangiyak-ngiyak nito sabi at niyakap ang kaniyang ulo para maiwasan ang bugbog-sarado niyang katawan. "I don't cry but when it comes to you, it is an exception." Unti-unting pumatak ang luha nito sa kaniyang ulo habang siya naman ay mahigpit na nakahawak sa damit nito. "Ream, I was worried sick. I was scared that I might now see you again. The fear ate me up. I can't lose you."

"Sorry for making you worry..." Bulong niya. She feels guilty of leaving him and almost dying but it is for their own good.

"We'll leave. And I will prepare the papers for our departure." Sabi ni Akilina na nauna nang umalis kasunod ang dalawa.
