Morse meets Code

XXVI

Do i like him?

"Okay ka lang ba?" nagtataka kong tanong. Tahimik siyang tumayo at lumakad papunta sa'kin. Nagulat ako nang bigla niya akong niyakap. Ang yakap na una kung natanggap sa kaniya. Nagdadalawang isip ako kung yayakap ako pabalik pero nagulat ako nang hinigpitan niya ang pagkayakap sa'kin. I can feel something deep from his hug, like a hug of a person who gone through a lot. He rest his head on my shoulder as i hugged him back. I rubbed his back and i felt his warm breath on my ear. 

"Thank you Code," he whispered, softly.

I'm confused why he's thanking me, is this about earlier when i save him from getting shot?.

"For what," 

"For saving me back there, kung hindi dahil sayo baka nabaril nako," sabi niya. He sounds different. I can feel the sincerity from his words. 

"Oh, well i can't just let you die there. The team needs you, i need you," sabi ko at huli ko na realize ang sinabi ko.

"Did you say, you need me?" Sabi niya sabay harap sakin. Nakatingala ako sa kanya habang nagtitigan.

"Umm did i? Baka mali yung narinig mo." I tittered as he chuckles.

"I heard it clearly Code there's no reason to deny," sabi niya na 'di inaalis ang kanyang mata sa'kin.

"Tell me Code, Do you like me?" Seryoso niyang tanong habang nilapit ang kanyang mukha sa'kin.

Napalunok naman ako sa tanong niya at hindi naka sagot agad.

Ano Code gusto mo ba siya? Being with him this past days changes something inside you. Morse made you feel something you haven't felt before. Even though you don't know the reason why you hate him so much, you still think you're safe whenever you're with him and you can't get rid of him from your mind EVERYTIME he's not around. He's always in your mind. Your heart beat faster when you see him. So ano, gusto mona ba siya? This is your chance to tell him what you feel.

"I...i-," I didn't finished my sentence when the door flew open and a panicking Diana appears.

"We have problem," sabi niya.

"We'll talk later," sabi ni Morse and rushed downstairs, sumunod naman ako. Shocks panira ka ng moment Diana. Anong problema na naman eto.

"I got something from the satellite and the intel located us, they're coming here." Sabi ni Clark at napakunot naman ako ng noo.

"How's that possible, this safehouse is off the grid. No one should locate this...except," they looked at me as i remember the russian couple.

"Who's watching the russian couple?" Tanong ko at nagsitinginan sila.

"Sabrina," saad ni Diana.

Tumakbo ako papuntang guest room at nagulat akong makita ang nakahandusay na Sabrina, chineck ko siya at wala naman siyang tama pero walang malay.

"They've escaped!" Galit na saad ni Morse na nadatnan naming nakatakas ang mag-asawa gamit ang bintana sa guest room.

"They must've informed the police," sabi ko.

"Morse! Ang case nawawala!" Sigaw ni  Dwayne sa kabilang kwarto.

"Shit! They took the case when we left the room," sabi ko.

"Hindi pa sila nakakalayo," sabi ni Morse. "Code and Star, you're coming with me. Diana and Kaizon, you take care of the intel. Asus, Clark you track them down in every cameras and satellite you can get. Shiela and Trix you bring Sabrina to the hospital, Dwayne you go with Shiela and Trix," sabi niya at tumango kami.
