Ch.11: Good Trade
Senya's point of view
THE MOMENT I came back to the Inn. Hindi ako tumuloy sa room kung nasaan ang mga kasama ko kundi ro'n mismo sa kwartong nasa ibaba nito.
"Captain." Astro whispered through my earpiece. Mukhang hindi nila ako sinuway at nasa kwarto pa rin sila sa itaas.
"Just stay there. Wala kayong kinalaman dito. I'm the one who should persuade him dahil ako naman ang nag-desisyong gumawa ng misyong 'to. I will not burden you all again." Nasa tapat na ako ng pinto.
Erwin should be inside this chamber. Malalim akong nagbuntong-hininga. Inalis ang lock sa lagayan ng pistol, just in case if medyo hindi aayon ang approach na gagawin ko.
He must still be in rage with me. I know, several months had already passed since we parted.
But knowing my brother is. He's not easy to be pleased. No matter what good he is seeing all day. No matter how good it feels his day was. Para pa rin 'yong nakakabagot na pangyayari sa buhay nya.
He's totally uncontented. A perfectionist bastard. Gusto nyang kompleto lagi ang lahat. Maayos at maganda. Organized at . . . you know what? Let's just talk to this bastard already.
No'ng akmang kakatok na ako, a loud shot from a golden revolver froze my hand from knocking this wooden threshold.
The bullet pierced through it from inside, grazing my right cheek then tuloy na tumama't nabutas 'yong wall na nasa likod ko. The loud sound of that shot was deafening. Pero hindi ako nagulat sa putok kundi sa dugong tumulo sa mula sa nasugatang pisngi ko.
I was left unmoving for several seconds. Kahit ang kamay kong akmang kakatok ay nanatiling nakataas sa pinto. This man. Mukhang hindi magiging maganda ang usapang 'to.
May narinig akong mabibilis na yabag mula sa itaas. Mukhang pababa ang mga ito.
"Captain! Are you okay?"
"That gunshot! Siguradong malapit ka kalang!"
"Captain. Sumagot ka!"
"Captain. Respond!"
Ang ingay naman nila. Hindi nagtagal, napansin ko sa kanan si Astro. Sumunod pa 'yong iba sa likuran nya.
So before they can even step more closer, I gestured my right hand to halt them. Nasa pinto pa rin ang tingin ko while they're left unmoving.
"Captain?" Greenrebel asked me in a low tone.
"May sugat sya." Wolf8 whispered as they realized what happened to my face because of the fired bullet.
"Just stay there. Ayos lang ako." kumatok ako sa pinto. That's when the door slightly opened by the force. Hindi pala naka-lock.
"Papasok na ako." pagbibigay alam ko sa taong nasa loob bago hinawakan ang busol ng pinto't tuluyan itong tinulak pabukas.
"Step more closer and you're dead." hindi ako nakinig sa babala ng pamilyar na boses na ito.
Pumasok ako nang walang imik. Sinarang muli ang pinto at sa pagkakataong ito'y inikot ang kandado para tuluyang ma-lock.
Madilim ang silid pero bilang ko kung ilan ang nandito sa loob. One from my right and one for my left.
Long weapons clicks as they pointed their barrels from both my temples. May fireplace sa sa silid na ito. Sa gilid no'n, nando'n nakaupo sa single sofa ang kapatid ko.
With wine on his left hand, and the golden revolver gripped by his right, pointing at me.
Kahit sa bandang likuran pa nya'y may pigura ring nakatayo. And it's also pointing a gun to me kahit hindi masyadong halata. They're all wearing tuxedos as they're signature uniform known as the RavenShooter Squadron.
