Daughter Of The Moon (SELENE 2)

Chapter 5

"Did you bring the papers?" I asked as I enter her car and start the ignition. Nilingon ko siya saglit to see if she's also seated. She was now buckling her seatbelt. Pagkatapos ay lumingon siya sa'kin at tumango.

"Yes, miss Selene. Na paalalahanan ko na rin sila upon our arrival any minute by now." She said.

Napangiti ako sa kanyang sinabi saka napatango. "Good."

Mother did the best when she appointed Bea to me as my personal assistant slash bodyguard. Hindi man kita sa katawan, but she's one among the best warriors our palace have. Bukod sa pagiging magaling na warrior, si bea rin ang naging personal bodyguard ni Ina noong bumisita siya sa Fiero Sun Kingdom ng two weeks. Maybe that was the reason she gave Bea to me. She saw the potential Bea had, not just being a warrior, but also a great companion and intellect when it comes to resolving a sudden problem. Mabilis itong mag-isip ng solution at konkreto kung magbigay ng suhestiyon. Nakita ko ang talino at galing ni Bea dahil sa palagi kaming nagsasama sa loob ng tatlong taon. She became the best companion I've ever had. Moreover, a tracker.

"Did you find something about that man?" I asked her about the man that we found dead yesterday.

Hindi naman masyadong brutal ang pagkamatay nito dahil tanging palaso lang ang sanhi ng pagkamatay. That scene was normal to me, and believe me I have encountered some death that's way more ruthless than the man's death. It was barbaric.

Muli bumalik sa isipan ko ang bangkay na katawan ng lalaki at napailing. Poor soul. Hindi man lang inabot ng gabi. I bet his family is grieving deeply right now. Nakaramdam ako nang awa nang sumagi rin sa isipan ko ang pagkain na dala nito at isang regalo na may katamtaman ang laki. It was splattered not too far from where his body was sprawled. If he wasn't in the killer's wanted list. He might still be alive right now, he will be having breakfast with his family by now. Kung hindi lang siya ang naging biktima, wala sanang palaso ang tumarak sa likuran nito. He would still be alive right now.

"Yes, miss Selene. But..." napatingin ako kay Bea nang tila may pag-alinlangan akong nadinig sa boses niya. Napakunot ako nang noo nang may nakita akong takot na dumaan sa kanyang mga mata. Saglit lang 'yon at napalitan nang seryosong mukha.

"It seems, it wasn't some kind of prank o pinili na biktimahin. He was killed because he knew something that the killer was after for."

Really? What is it that made him killed? Na curious ako sa sinabi niya kaya kahit nasa bukana na kami ng arko ng Golden Stone ay itinigil ko ang sasakyan sa gilid para alamin ang lahat. This information was for me and Bea to know. At sa oras na papasok kami sa teretoryo nila maaring may makarinig o makaalam na iba. For safety measure, mas mabuting pag-usapan muna namin bago tuluyang pumasok.

I turned it off engine first at binuksan ang bintana bago siya binalingan ng tingin. My full attention was on her. "Okay? Spill." I demand.

Before she starts, may kinuha siyang folder sa kanyang bagpack na dala at ibinigay sa'kin. Kinuha ko ito saka binuksan. The face of that man was the first I noticed kasunod ang impormasyon na nakalagay doon.

"His name is Inon Garcia, a member of Golden Stone. He recently became an official member of Golden Stone pack along with his family. His wife doesn't have a job, as she just gave birth last week. He got a job in one of Alpha Zachary's winery the day he became an official member. As you can see he doesn't have that much information. Tanging mga recent whereabouts lang ang nakuha ko sa system ng Golden Stone at ang tungkol naman sa former pack niya, it's... not found."
