Versailles Series Book 4: The Bodyguard [COMPLETED]

CHAPTER 38

=== P A T C H ===

The man finally woke up. We were humans so we cured his gunshot wounds at least. He was screaming for his life like he should. Nasa basement kami kaya wala talagang makakarinig dito. Everyone else was still sleeping in the house and there are guards checking on anybody who might wake up.

"Finally." Sabi ko rito.

"Anong ginagawa mo rito?" Tanong ni Kylo.

The man was just looking at Kylo. He didn't answer whatever it was that Kylo asked. Even Erwin asked him but got nothing.

I was sleepy and pissed off I needed an answer at the moment.

I harshly gripped his jaw and forced him to look at me. "Tell us who f*cking let you in and who is your boss you f*cking dipsh*t!" He just kept his mouth closed which pissed me off more. Nilabas ko ang baril ko at dinikit iyon sa sentido nito. "Tell. Me."

"Papatayin niya ako kapag sinabi ko!"

Tinignan ko si Erwin at umiling ito. Mas diniin ko ang baril sa sentido nito. "I need a name."

"Papatayin niya ako!"

"They might kill him if he spilled the name of their boss."

"Just so you know, Mister. I have killed people this close. You're not different." Kinasa ko ang baril at binalik iyon sa sentido nito. "Pick your choice."

"Si Benedicto! Si Benedicto!"

Pinalapit ko na si Erwin at ito ang kumausap sa lalaki. They got it on tape of course.

"Palalayain ka namin pero sa isang kondisyon. Kailangan namin ng impormasyon kung tungkol sa mga Formosa."

"Kahit ano! Huwag niyo lang akong patayin!"

I told Erwin all the information I need from this man. Umakyat muna ako sa itaas para sana tignan ulit ang kuwarto ni Kylo pero may iba akong nadatnan doon.

The woman was in maid's uniform, peeking out the window.

"I thought you'll make it hard for us to locate you."

Tinutok nito sa akin ang hawak na kutsilyo ng lalaki kanina na naiwan roon.

"Hayaan mo na akong makatakas. Let me go...please."

"Sadly for you, I am not merciful."

Lumapit ako rito. She was shaking. Sa pagkakahawak nito ng kutsilyo, halatang hindi ito sanay humawak ng patalim. I don't have my gun or dagger with me but surely, I can disarm this woman.

"They will kill me. Parang awa mo na. Please. Just let me go."

"I hate people resulting to violence in exchange for money. Did Kylo by any chance hurt you or your family?" I asked, stepping closer to her.

Umiling ang babae.

"Then did you become an accomplice? How much did he pay you?"

"One...one million."

I smirked. "A million. You do know that that is how much your life costs. How sure are you that he will actually hand the money over without killing you, a potential witness?"

It's like realization dawned on her. Tinututok nito sa akin uli ang kutsilyo.

"Paalisin mo na lang ako."

"Sorry. I only respond to Kylo and my boss."

I lunged at her and disarmed her. I didn't even have to sweat to get the knife out of her hands and knock her unconscious.
