"What happened?" Agad na sinalubong ko ng tanong si Doc Letitia nang makabalik ako sa sanitarium.
Looks like she's been waiting for me at the lobby for an hour.
Halos liparin ko na kanina ang kalsada para agad na makarating rito dahil sa tawag na natanggap ko mula sa kaniya but it still took me an hour and a half to arrive here.
"He's in his room," sagot niya bago siya naunang pumasok sa elevator. "I can't help it, we needed to sedate him. He got violent and aggressive. He tried to kill Samuel by asphyxiation," kuwento niya habang dinadala na kami papuntang top floor.
"Kamusta siya?" tanong ko na ikinabuga niya ng hangin.
"Not good. Hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HIBI) but possibly he could fall into a state of coma latterly. And it's fatal. He's in the ICU at si Doc Loughren ang tumitingin sa kaniya."
"Paano siyang nakapasok sa room 403?"
"Pinilit niya ang isang nurse na pagbuksan siya ng pinto. She told me about what happened and according to her, she tried to refuse him pero nagpumilit si Raven na pagbuksan siya. She's not aware because she's a recently hired nurse and nagkataong nanggaling siya sa kabilang kwarto .. while no one's looking after Raven too," makahulugang sabi niya na mataman akong tinitigan. "Saan ka ba galing?"
"May binisita lang," simpleng sagot ko.
"You're aware that Knox and Max wasn't here," she stated.
"But I didn't expect this would be happening, Doc," sagot ko.
Aminado naman akong nagpabaya ako sa kaniya ngayon. Naging kampante akong masyado.
"You have to talk to him," aniya.
"I need to."
Pagbukas ng elevator door ay sa room 501 kami dumiretso. Pagpasok ay naabutan namin siyang tulog na tulog pa rin.
"He'll probably be up for the next six hours or so."
"Is he all right?" tanong ko.
"You don't have to worry. He is in good shape, much like a rampaging bull who has seen a red sign. Sigurado akong sa paggising niya, sisimulan ka na rin niya agad na batuhin ng mga katanungan. Maghanda ka na ng isasagot mo dahil hindi ka niyan titigilan," saad niya.
"I know what to do," saad ko.
"Y'know, that was the first time he raised his voice on me, Hunter. He's quite inimical."
"He is."
"Anyway, should I call Detective Treacher then?" tanong niya na inilabas ang cellphone mula sa bulsa niya.
"Yes. He should know," sagot ko.
"Alright. Maiwan na kita rito," she said tapping my shoulder. "Balitaan mo na lang ako 'pag nagkausap na kayo."
Paglabas rin ni Doc Xerxes ay naupo ako sa tabi ng kama. Hindi ko napigilang mapahawak sa mukha niya.
"Why didn't you listen to me, angel?"
I let out a deep audible breath.
...
Raven's P.O.V
"You finally showed up. Kanina pa kita hinihintay." Masamang tingin ang isinalubong ko sa kaniya nang makapasok siya sa kwarto.
"I've been waiting for you to awaken for hours as well," sagot rin niya na seryoso ring tumingin sa akin.
