Her Sugar Daddy

Chapter 25

Isang oras na siyang tulala sa kawalan at namamaga na ang kanang kamay niya mula sa pagkaka-suntok sa pader pero hindi niya lang ito pinansin.

He's devastated and worried, how will he tell his wife about all this without hurting her?

But it's impossible not to feel pain, especially if the one you love is gone.

He flinched when a sudden call pulled him out of his reverie. Tiningnan niya muna kung sino ang tumatawag bago niya ito sinagot.

"Yes, Walter?"

"Sir, we brought the body to the address you gave us."

Agad siyang napatayo at nagmamadaling nagpalit ng puting t-shirt at faded jeans.

"Wait for me there, I'm on my way."

Kinuha niya ang susi ng kanyang pulang ferrari at pumunta na sa garahe.

But before entering the car, he reached a small metal cube from the jar displayed on the right corner of the wall and stick it to the car's window.

May asul na ilaw na lumabas mula sa cube at nagsimulang pumalibot sa buong kotse niya.

It's a personalized scanner for cars, motors, planes or any kind of vehicles. It took him one week to built that device. When the blue light turns green the car is safe to use, but it turns red when a bomb is detected. He added that feature, he doesn't want to put his life on danger again.

He smirked when a black light appeared instead of green and red.

"How predictable and irritating can he be?"

Napailing na lang siya at sumakay na ng tuluyan sa kanyang kotse. Ilang minuto lang ang lumipas at narating din niya ang isang warehouse.

Pinadala niya ang bangkay sa lugar na ito dahil gusto niyang makasigurado, may parte pa din sa kanyang isip na umaasang hindi katawan ng kaibigan ang nakita ng mga tauhan niya.

Ipinarada na niya ang kanyang sasakyan sa tapat ni Walter na hinihintay siya sa may pintuan ng bodega.

"Sir, are you ready?"

He took a deep breath before nodding.

"Yes, I prepared myself mentally on what's gonna happen."

"I'm glad to hear that. You will really need it, Sir. Let's go inside."

Walter guided him to the middle part of the place where the other two bodyguards are waiting, when they saw him they immediately step aside showing a body lying on the long metal table covered in white sheet.

"Sir, please confirm if he's the one you're looking for."

With shaking hands he slowly pulled down the cover, he kept hoping and wishing that it's not his best friend.

But all his hopeful thinking vanished,  seeing Hassan's pale and lifeless face is almost enough for him to broke down.

Ang suot na puting damit ng kaibigan ay  nakulayan na ng sarili nitong dugo. Tumutulo ang mga luha na hinawakan niya ang kamay nito. Paulit-ulit na pinangako niya sa sarili na hahanapin at kanyang sisingilin sa buhay na nawala sa kung sinuman ang nasa likod ng pagpatay sa lalaki.

"A-Any leads?"

"None, Sir. We hacked the CCTV's on that area but we found nothing."

"What do you mean nothing?"

"We saw the footage of him getting shot but the CCTV didn't captured the culprit. Alam na alam ng taong iyon kung saan ang mga anggulong hindi siya makukuhanan. When we slowed down the video we found something odd on the left side of the monitor, a black sleeve has been spotted. He/She is wearing a black garment and that's all we got."
