Chapter 13: "The Town Thief"

Chapter 13: "The Town Thief"

Teiro's point of view

WHERE EXACTLY are we going here?

The game just started least than seven minutes ago, and guess what, we're still stucked with a zero lead from thinking where that thief is hiding right now.

We have no idea or clue what should we do or where should we be gone to. Basta't naglalakad-lakad lang kami palibot nitong town.

"Where are we going?" Kane is excited but that was just minutes ago. Bagot na sya ngayong naglalakad katabi ko, while Leonidas our supposedly called as the team leader, just keeps on kicking forward a single leftover can on the ground.

Kicking with his right foot after two steps. Kicking with his left after three steps. Kicking and kicking that the can is making an annoying noise when it's stumbling and rolling nonstop ahead of us.

Ano bang nangyayari sa team ko? Parang hindi naman sila interesado sa laro. Well. Not that I'm after with the prize or something kung mananalo man kami.

I just want to test my skills for the others. So far, only sina Phoenix at Leonidas lang ang nasaksihan kong makipaglaban at hindi ko pa nakita kung gaano rin kagaling 'yong natitirang iba.

I'm entirely curious on what must be the hidden skills these guys are keeping with them, na ganito sila ka-pursigidong mag-volunteer para sabayan ang ganito ka-delikadong misyon.

First meeting ko pa lang sa kanila, I already know all of them are especial. They're all powerful inside. At dahil magkakasama naman kami sa isang misyong ito, though none of us knew when will it last but, this is just the right opportunity for us to wholly know each other. Though hindi 'yon gano'n kadali.

"Meow~" the cat yawned while clawing my head a little. Aray!

Kinapa ko ito sa ulo't bahagyang tinutulak-tulak ang kanyang bahaging pisngi yata sa panggigigil ko. Ang sarap nyang sakalin! Ang likot eh.

"I'll just go up to the roof. Maybe we can spot something useful as a clue." Paalam ni Leonidas kaya't napalingon kami sa kanya.

"Nabagot ka na sa latang binubugbog mo?"

"Check your maps. Sabihan nyo 'ko kung may odd locations kayong matagpuan." He ignored my remark tsaka ito nagsimulang magtata-talon sa porch sides ng mga bahay.

"What do you mean odd locations?"

"Even a single dot can help, kaya magsimula na kayo." He ignored me again. Kainis.

"So ano na gagawin natin?" Nagpatuloy lamang kami sa paglalakad at itong si Kane naman ang nagpatuloy sa pagsipa sa can na 'yon. That irritating noise won't even stop.

"Check your map." sagot ko sabay lumiko kami sa isang medyo may kadilimang eskinita. Trash bins are on the floor lying. Garbages scattered hindering us from walking normally.

Rats strolling there and there cautious by our feet's noises as we pass by.

Tumitingin kami sa map namin at nakarating sa kabilang side ng eskinita. "Maybe we should just look on the roof, too."

A loud bang of the bell tower reverberated all around the whole town, catching everyone's attention.

Anong nangyari ro'n?

Not long after, may napansin akong pigurang tumatakbo sa isang roof, more than ten meters distance from us. It's gradually approaching as it jumps from roof to roof beside the street me and Kane are standing.
