Blazing Romance

Chapter 23

Axl's POV

The smirk on Lance's face irritates the hell out of me. I don't know if it's just a facade or if he doesn't care that we caught him at all. I sat in front of him and crossed my legs as we stared at each other while the others made their way out of the cell he belong to. 

"Habang pabalik ako dito ay di pa rin ako makapaniwalang gumana ang plano ko at nadakot ka namin ng ganoon kadali. Im not dumb, you really made us caught you, so tell me, what the fuck are you up to?"

Pinakatitigan ko ang mukha niyang pinaghalo na ang dumi, pasa at namumuong dugo sa mga sugat na natamo niya. He seemed to annoyed one of the boys for him to have those cuts on his face. 

"Looking at you now, tama nga sila, kahawig mo si Alese.."

Nangunot ang noo ko ng banggitin niya ang pangalan ng mama ko. Of course, he knows her, he works for the organization my mom seems to know too. I tried to keep it cool and never let my emotion eats me. 

"...but the way you talk, the way you boss those men around you, you got it all from your father."

Mahina akong napatawa dahil sa sinabi niya. Ngayon lang may nakapagsabi sa akin na katulad ako ng tatay kong ni minsan ay di ko nakasama. 

"As much as I want to thank you for mentioning the things I inherited from my father, I really don't need that right now. I want answers Lance." madiin ang pagkakabanggit ng huling mga salitang binitawan ko sa kaniya.

We don't need to beat around the bush. I want to know whose behind this fucking mess and get over it soon. I leaned closer but still kept my distance just in case he do something funny. 

"Then you're wasting your time, I'm just a pawn. I don't know anythi---"

I cut him off by throwing a punch in his face. Muli ay napahiga siya sa sahig at tila nahilo sa biglaang suntok na natamo niya. I'm way too pissed about this and if one word doesn't that answer what I've been asking, I'll literally snap. 

"Listen, this is not a movie where I'll keep you here in the basement, starve and let you die slowly until you beg me to keep you alive in exchange of the informations I want from who is this shit that wants to kill me.."

He spits blood and it didn't bother me at all. I just look at him with disgust and wait patiently for him to recover to look at me again. 

".. I want you to know that if I didn't get what I want, I'll ask them to just burn you alive. And the answers? Don't worry, there are lot of members of the organizations we can beat to pulp, some are more important than you are Lance. You're just a mere puppet of that group."

Mahabang katahimikan ang namagitan sa amin ni Lance bago ako nagdesisyong tumayo at akmang lalabas na ng silid ng marinig ko ang mahinang daing niya. Muli akong tumingin sa kaniya at nilapitan siya, naluhod ako ng bahagya upang magpantay ang tingin naming dalawa. 

"One more thing, as much as I want to exclude your little lamb from all this shit, you're leaving me with no other choice. Mirko Fortalejo, 12 years old, currently residing in Palawan, Philippines. I hope it rings a bell. "

That's when Lance got livid and almost attack me but refrained from doing so because of the chain from her feet and hands. I smirk and left the room unscathed. 

Nang makalabas ay nakita ko si Kalen na nakasandal sa hamba ng pinto at nakakrus ang mga braso sa dibdib. Pinagtaasan ko siya ng kilay ngunit nawala din iyon ng akbayan niya ako sabayang maglakad palabas ng pasilyong iyon. 

"I heard your conversation with that asshole. Damn baby, never knew you could throw a punch." he said smirking.

"Yeah, I should try it on you some other time." tinanggal ko ang pagkaka akbay niya at naunang maglakad palabas. I heard him laughing while going after me.
