Kabanata 2


"Your job is simple. Make him comfortable with you, get to know his secrets, and convince him to work with us so we can trace his brother," Agent Lankova said the moment the private plane took off.

Gie pursed her lips and nodded while staring directly into Agent Lankova's eyes. Ito at si Agent Shault ang naatasang mag-monitor sa kanya sa loob ng supermax. Two more doctors would accompany her to do a different task, while she will only come there for one prisoner.

Alyzander "Gresso" Lindstrom.

Humugot siya ng hininga nang pumasok sa isip niya ang gwapong mukha ng mapanganib na lalakeng iyon. Gie hates that his name still tasted like the kiss he gave her when they first met, and she hates herself even more for not being able to get over it.

Nakalimutan niya ang apelyido ni Gresso ngunit ang halik ay nananatiling sariwa sa kanyang mga labi. Like a deep scar she never asked to have, the memories of that day stayed with her. Minsan ay napapaniginipan pa niya, at iyon ang hindi niya matanggap.

Agent Sancho Lankova flipped the page of the document he was scanning while Agent Shault busied himself by cleaning his handgun. Gie doesn't know if special agents have a specific requirement when it comes to how they look, but these skilled men definitely went out straight from the magazine covers.

Tumikhim siya. "Paano kung hindi ko makumbinsi?"

"Don't worry, Gie. Every monster has a weakness. His will always be his brother, and you can definitely use that to earn his trust." Ngumisi si Agent Lankova. "That's why he got captured anyway. He let his love for his baby brother lord over him."

She swallowed. "Pwede ko bang malaman ang mas detalyadong background tungkol kay Gresso Lindstrom?"

"Sure. I'll give you his entire file for you to study, but I'm afraid you're gonna have to read it while working on your mission." He clicked his tongue. "One rule, though. Don't fall for a mad man like him. That guy is crazier than he looks."

Kumunot ang kanyang noo. "What do you mean?"

"Let's just say he's got a deadly kink." He patted her shoulder. "And he somehow got this toxic charm most women find hard to resist once they tasted him. They would never stop asking for more of what he does to them until they die in his hands. You get what I mean?"

Uminit ang kanyang pisngi. Dear Lord, she hates her mind for getting what he was trying to say. Bakit ba tuwing konektado kay Gresso ang usapan ay parang nagiging marumi ang isip niya?

Agent Lankova snapped his fingers. "I said don't fall for his charm. I didn't say imagine him going between your thighs right now, Doc. Ayayay," biro nito habang pigil ang ngisi.

Lalo siyang namula. "I'm not. Naalala ko lang ate ko," pagsisinungaling niya.

"That. Remember that." He pointed her using his pen. "Gresso's brother betrayed him to save your sister. Kung hindi 'yon ginawa ni Trojan, your sister would've probably been added to Gresso's long list of victims. Tsk tsk tsk."

Napahugot siya ng hininga dahil sa sinabi nito. Gie doesn't know if she should be happy that her sister was saved by Gresso's brother, or she should be even more worried now for her sister's safety.

Hindi nila alam kung nasaan si Trojan Lindstrom. Ang nasabi lang sa kanya ay nakipagtulungan ito noon kay Agent Emeraudo Romani para ma-ambush ang kuta ng sindikatong pinamumunuan ni Gresso, ngunit sa gitna ng ingkwentro ay itinakas ni Trojan ang ate Bella niya. Kung bakit ay hindi pa nila alam.

They have no idea if her sister is still with him, and now he's being hunted down by a rival mafia for something only Gresso is aware of. Kung kasama pa rin ni Trojan Lindstrom ang ate niya, then her sister is definitely in a big trouble.

"Just try to relax while we're on our way. Kung makakatunog si Lindstrom na hindi ka pumasok sa supermax para magtrabaho roon bilang doktor, baka hindi makipagtulungan sa atin," paalala ni Agent Lankova bago ito humikab. Maya-maya ay ini-adjust na nito ang upuan at itinakip sa mukha ang Hello Kitty na eye mask.

Agent Shault must've noticed that she was staring at Agent Lankova's eye mask. Sumenyas itong bahagya siyang lumapit nang mabulungan siya.

"Whatever happens, don't ever ask him about his eye mask."

She pursed her lips and nodded. Nag-thumb's up pa si Agent Shault bago ito umayos ng upo. Sinubukan niya na lamang ding mag-relax, kaya lang kapag naiisip niya na nagsinungaling siya sa Tatay niya at sinabing sa Cebu lamang siya pupunta, naninikip nang husto ang dibdib niya.

Ayaw niya namang magsinungaling, kaya lang kung malalaman nito kung saan ba talaga siya pupunta at kung ano ang gagawin niya, siguradong hindi siya papayagan. She needs to do this for her sister. Para sa kapatid niyang ilang taon na nilang hinihintay na makauwi sa kanila.

Uminom na lamang siya ng Melatonin nang makatulog. Nang magising siya ay nasa Sweden na ang kanilang grupo at hinihintay ng sasakyang magdadala sa kanya sa maximum security prison.

"Hanggang dito na lang kami. The other two doctors will be waiting for you there. Just answer the jail guards properly and don't try to gain any unnecessary attention on your first day," paalala ni Agent Shault.

Humugot siya ng malalim na hininga't itinango ang ulo. She waved them goodbye after she wore her ear piece and tracker. Nang makasakay sa kotse ay halos ilang ulit siyang nagdasal na sana ay huwag siyang pabayaan ng Panginoon.

Tumigil ang sasakyan sa bungad ng supermax. She went through the inspection, but since all of the items Agent Shault and Agent Lankova gave her cannot be easily detected, she passed through the inspection area with ease.

"Welcome to the supermax, Doc Virgielyn," bungad sa kanya ni Dr. Ysiah; isa sa dalawang makakasama niya roon. She heard he's a spy just like Agent Shault and Agent Lankova, but he mostly does undercover jobs which allows him to practice his original profession.

"Thanks. Where's Dr. Zinc?"

Kinuha nito ang maleta niya at ito na ang naghila. "He's in the clinic busy dipping his fingers in his bag of potato chips." Ysiah grinned. "Ready for your first day?"

She drew in a sharp breath and forced a smile while his blue eyes were staring at her. "I guess so."

Ngumiti ito habang naglalakad sila papasok. "Don't worry. Everything here is under control--"

Natigil ang sinasabi ni Ysiah nang sa pagbukas ng pangalawang gate ay bumungad sa kanila ang rambulan ng ilang preso. May ilan nang duguan dahil sa riot, at habang tumatagal na nahihirapan ang jail guards na kontrolin ang sitwasyon, lalo siyang nahihirapang mag-isip nang maayos para mailigtas niya ang sarili niya kung sakaling madamay sila sa gulo.

Para siyang bata na napakapit sa hulmadong braso ni Ysiah habang nahihintakutang nakatitig sa kaguluhan. Nang madama nito ang pangamba niya ay hinawakan siya nito sa kamay saka siya pilit itinago sa likod nito, ngunit mayamaya ay ganoon na lamang ang naging kabog ng dibdib niya nang isang pamilyar na tinig ang umagaw sa atensyon ng lahat.

"Get back to your cells, you fucking bastards before I snap your fucking necks myself."

A familiar man walked down the stairs with a baseball bat resting on his shoulder, his tattooed upper body was in full glory while the top part of his orange uniform was hanging from his waist. Nakabuntot sa lalake ang isang payat na binatang may kulot na buhok at kung tatantyahin ay mas bata ng higit tatlo o apat na taon sa kanya.

Napalunok si Gie nang mabaling sa kanyang direksyon ang tingin ng mapanganib na lalake, at nang dumako sa kamay ni Ysiah ang titig nito, kitang-kita ni Gie kung papaanong inigting ni Gresso ang panga nito saka ito lumakad palapit sa kanilang harap.

Her heart pounced loudly while staring back into his dangerous pair of eyes. Tila isa itong mapanganib na tigreng aatakihin ang unang nakahuli sa kanya. Nang marating nila ang kanilang harap ay halos mahigit niya ang kanyang hininga.

"Keep your fucking hands to yourself before I fucking chop those myself." She gasped when Gresso pointed the top of his baseball bat on Ysiah's face before he jerked his head. "That doctor is mine. . . "
