"Sir, sa storehouse tayo ngayon. hintayin natin sundan tayo ng mga tauhan. " Bilin ko nang sumakay ako sa kotse.
"Sigurado po ba kayo? Baka mapapaano kayo." He glanced at me to the mirror.
I nodded. "Yes sir, okay lang. Prepared rin naman kami. "
He started the engine after giving ne a smile. Sinuot ko ang bulletproof vest na binigay ni Fabian sa'kin kagabi. The gun I'll use is at the storehouse.
We waited for the car to follow us and just as Keith expected, there's 2 SUV vans.
God, please keep us all safe.
"Miss Aiby, liliko na po tayo sa storehouse." Ani ng driver ko at tumango ako.
I turned on my earpiece. "Echo, I'm only 2 streets away. "
Lahat kaming Echo ay may gantong earpiece and it's connected to each other. Of course, Fabian also gave it to us.
"Yes, thanks to our ring, we can see your current location. " Si Fabian ang sumagot sa'kin at naririnig ko si Graig sa kabilang linya.
"I'm almost there. "Rinig kong sabi ni Keith.
"Magkikita kayo sa huling kanto, " Saad ni Rave.
"There's 3 SUV vans kay Keith?! " Pabiglang sigaw ni Blanca.
Pinapakinggan ko ang mga side comments nila habang nakatingin sa bintana. Halos lahat kami ay nagulat dahil ganun karami ang sumusunod kay Keith.
"I could see you now, Aiby. " Once again, I heard Keith's serious voice.
I automatically looked at my sides and sighed in relief when I saw his car behind me.
"5 SUV vans, nasa kabilang kanto lang," Ani ni Claud sa kabilang linya.
"Ingat Aiby," Si Blanca.
I only replied to acknowledge their comments. My car stopped in front of the big storehouse. Bumaba ako at nag paalam sa driver ko. Keith's car also stopped behind us.
"Keith," I called him when he closed his door.
"Let's go," He went to my side and guided me to enter the storehouse.
Before opening the gate, instead of opening it for me. He went behind me like he's covering my whole body from behind.
When I opened the metal gate, the view of Echos standing in front of more than 20 men welcomed me.
"They're already outside," Twilla said while looking at Claud's phone.
"Good morning!" Iris shouted.
"Uy, tapos na kami mag practice." Paalam ni Ivo at tumango si Graig sa tabi niya.
Agad namang tumili si Ely at Deborah sa sobrang excited. They kept telling me that they know how to use it now but aiming is still a little off.
"Aiby!" Fabian shouted my name. "Catch!" at binato niya sa'kin ang isang baril.
Kahit gulat, I positioned myself to catch it safely. Bakit, mabigat kaya sila 'no.
"Keith!" Aldo shouted too and threw the gun to him na sinalo ng walang kahirap hirap ni Keith..
I walked towards Ella who's busy checking her own gun.
"Hey, ayos ba sila kanina?" I tapped her shoulder.
She nodded. "Yeah, though we're pretty noisy at first."
I laughed. "As expected. Lalo na't first time pala nila Ely at Deborah."
