JS2: ZARI'S POV.Zero:
Meet me in the conference room.
Mabilis akong kumain ng breakfast at diretsong nagmaneho papunta sa Firm. Zero was so serious in that text, baka may bago na naman siyang nalaman.
At hindi nga ako nagkakamali dahil pagkarating ko roon ay nagtaka agad ako nang makita sina Kise at Kaden na seryosong naghihintay sa pagdating ko.
Kaden's eyes lighten up when we had na eye contact but he immediately clear his throat and look away.
"Sheila Patterson's Ambush case will be the topic of our discussion this morning. Please also note to yourself that the hearing will start next week so be ready."Zero stated.
Binalingan ko ng tingin ang pwesto ni Kaden.
"Excuse me, but may I know if you willingly joined this case Atty. Chua?"
"No hesitation, Atty."
Tumango ako sa sagot niya. Bakit sa' amin siya kakampi kung ama niya naman ang makukulong sa hawak naming kaso.
"Let's proceed?"we all nodded at Zero.
"On behalf of Atty. Chua, I apologise for saying this but Anthony Chua is so dumb to trust us. He was fool by our people."nilapag niya ang tatlong kopya ng fingerprints.
The three of us examine the copy if the results are the same, and yes it is.
Ang fingerprints na iyon ay kuha sa windshield ng sasakyan kung saan inambush si Mama.
Sunod niyang nilapag ang camera kung nasaan ang mga recordings ng mga taong pinatay ni Anthony Chua.
Nakita ko ang patagong pagkuyom ng kamao ni Kaden pero pinigilan niya naman ang sarili. Nagpatuloy kami sa discussion.
We lasted at the conference room for 3 hours. Nagsitayuan na kami at handa ng umalis nang magsalita si Kaden na nagpatigil sa amin.
"The evidences are not enough to fight this case in the court. For our team to be more strong and possible to win.. someone will help us. She will be present in court during the hearing.."
"Former-parallegal Leslie Samaniego will be with us. She knows more about Anthony Chua than me, let's trust her." Kaden stood up and look at each one of us.
Leslie? Hindi ba malaki ang galit niya sa akin? Bakit niya kami tutulungan?
We silently nod at Kaden before we finally separate ways.
Hanggang lunch break ay ang sinabi ni Kaden lang ang nasa utak ko. I keep on wondering what's running on Leslie's mind to suddenly decide about this matter.
Bahala na nga. Binuksan ko nalang ang energy drink ko at nagrelax. Kailangan ng pahinga ng utak ko dahil baka ako naman ang mabaliw dahil sa rami ng tanong na gusto ko masagot.
"Hi,"Kaden seated in front of me.
I smile at him."Hey."
Bumaba ang tingin niya sa luncbox ko."Bakit hindi mo pa ginagalaw ang lunch mo? Hindi kaba gutom?"
"Bumili pa kasi ako nito."pinakita ko sakanya ang energy drink.
Sige, magsinungaling kapa Zari. Sabi ko naman kasi sayo huwag ka nalang magdala ng lunchbox at sa labas nalang kumain e. Tingnan mo ang sitwasyon ngayon, hindi lang kayo basta magkalapit...nasa iisang table pa kayo!
"I can almost hear your thoughts.."he laugh lightly.
Binuksan niya ang lunchbox bago muling nag angat ng tingin sa akin.
