CHAPTER 26 : TRUTH

CHAPTER 26 : TRUTH

"Damio."

"What?." agad na tanong ni Pierce ng marinig ang sinabi ko.

"Si Damio iyon diba?." turo ko sa lalaking nasa hindi kalayuan sa amin. Nakasandal ito sa railings ng baywalk at nakatanaw sa bulkan.

Lalapit na sana si Pierce sa kaniya ng pigilan ko ito.

"Sa tingin ko mas makakabuti kung wag na natin siyang lapitan."

Tumaas ang kaniya kilay.

"At bakit? Takas siya sa ahensya. It's my duty to take him back."

"Naiintindihan ko. Pero kung nandito siya , malamang hindi siya nag-iisa."

"What do you mean?."

Lumingon ako sa paligid para tingnan kung may iba bang maaaring kilala ko. Si Kill siguro o  si Fitch mismo.

"They are after Viktor as well. If we know that Viktor is here , alam din nila iyon. Our team might be as strong and efficient as we think but if they know where to find Viktor faster than we can. We can use them. We will follow them and eventually , they will lead us to Viktor. Viktor is our main target here. Once they lead us to them , secretly. We will take out Viktor and them as well. It's like hitting two birds with one stone."

"You had your point. But how can you be so sure that they don't know that we are here."

I paused for awhile. Muli kong sinulyapan si Damio.

"If they know. They won't be displaying Damio as obvious as that."

"Paano kung sinasadya nilang makita natin si Damio para isipin ang iniisip mo ngayon na sundan siya para makita si Viktor. What if it's a trap?."

Hindi ko na alam kung ilang beses na akong napaikot ng mata dahil sa pagkairita sa kaniya.

"Ba't ba kontra ka sakin?."

He crossed his arm.

"Hindi naman. Ang hirap lang magtiwala."

I saw the glitch of disappointment in his eyes.

"You should get your father out of your mind. It's not helping."

He chuckles.

"Getting it out my mind is not as easy as getting Fitch out of your mind. He's my fvcking father."

I love Fitch. Sa tingin ba niya ang madali sa akin na wag siyang isipin ngayon? Hindi e. I need to divert myself from thinking about him and one way to do that is to go to war. Ginagawa ko lang naman to ngayon dahil ayokong maiwan na nakatulala at isip na lang ng isip sa maaaring mangyari at mangyayari pa.

"Just forget it for now. We need to focus."

Ginulo niya ang buhok.

"Fine. Pero paano ka nga nakakasigurong hindi nila alam na nandito tayo? Remember , we are not just dealing that damn Damio there. You know how cunning his boss is. Hindi mo ba kilala si Kill? Black Phantom fears him."

"Sa sinasabi mo. Parang gusto mong matakot rin tayo sa kaniya."

"Hindi naman!." tanggi niya. "Iniisip ko lang ang pwedeng mangyari. Ayokong magpadalos dalos at biglang may masamang mangyari sayo. Damn it , Erica! Kapag namatay ka kasama ko , papatayin ako ng mga Ravens."

"So , you're just worried for yourself?."

"H-hindi naman." nauutal niyang saad.

Mahina kong hinampas ang kaniyang braso.
