Chasing Daylight (On-hold)

Chapter 30

Chase's POV

I WAS in daze nang malamang isa pala s'ya samin. Kumakain ako ngayon ng cake na dala namin habang pinapanood silang nag-uusap. Venisse was trying to explain to Rafael our situation. She explains the part that we have memories from the past, how we have trouble carrying something so confusing in our minds, and that we are targets of the former mayor's son who we still don't actually know what he looks like.

Dahil nagpagupit ang lalaking ito, kitang-kita na namin ng maayos ang mukha n'ya. I noticed that he has brown eyes, that brown eyes was in my memory. I didn't know it was him. Good thing Venisse was able to recognize him immediately. Muntik na namin s'ya isantabi.

"Don't worry about your status because Sage will update them for you, just send him your details," pagbibigay ng solusyon ni Venisse. Kung hindi ia-update ang status n'ya ay hindi s'ya makakalabas, lalo na't hindi na rin s'ya parte ng South Soul City.

If we need to go out, we of course need to get a permit. To get one you need to send a request. We already have ours, but he doesn't. Right now, he's neither a citizen of South Soul City and West Steel City. That can be a problem. He can't get any permit if this goes on, and if he tries to go out without a permit that will be an illegal action.

Also registering or changing status will take at least 1 month to be completed, but because of Sage is will just take 1 hour.

Agad na kumilos si Sage at ginagawa ang pinapagawa sakanya. Rafael gave his informations, kaya naman ni Sage hanapin ang details n'ya pero para mabilis ay naisipan nalang na isulat sa papel. After entering every informations, in one click Rafael was officially in the list of citizens in West Steel City.

"Are you kidding me?! That fast?" Rafael was shock.

Napangiti ako. Uulitin ko, madami na akong nasaksihang mga ginawa ni Sage pero namamangha nalang talaga ako kada may gagawin s'yang hindi kaya ng ibang tao. I know other people that can also hack, but they're not as good as Sage.

I wonder if he'll be described as a legend in the future?

"Oo nga pala, dahil isa ka samin meron ka nito," kinuha ni Rhian ang parehabang kahon sa lamesa at inabot kay Rafael.

"Thanks, what is this by the way?" inalog ni Rafael ang kahon, sinusubukang hulaan ang nasa loob. Hindi namin s'ya sinagot at hinayaan lang na buksan n'ya ang kahon.

When he finally saw what's inside, he smiled. He wasn't shock or confused, it was indeed a warm smile like he was pleased from what he received.

"Sa lahat ng mga daggers ko, eto na ata ang pinaka paborito ko," sabi n'ya sabay hawi ng mamahaling coat n'ya. Lumantad samin ang ilang mga daggers na nakalagay sa loob nito.

My jaw dropped, he was hiding a lot of daggers in his coat.

"Knives and daggers are my specialty, but actually I don't really know why I like sharp objects. I'm weird, right?" he chuckled. At that moment I can see myself from him.

"You're just being yourself, I also felt the same way," sabi ko. Sinimot ko ang cream galing sa cake bago nilapag ang plato ko.

"Let's all stay close together. Tulad ng sinabi sayo ni Venisse, makikita natin ang sagot sa North Herlanion City, kaya doon ang destinasyon natin," I gave him a smile of assurance. He was still thinking of staying here, I can see a glimpse of having second thoughts in his face.

He told us that he lost so many opportunities when he was locked up in the underground casino. He wants to chill for a moment, knowing that he isn't fully recovered yet. Pero sabi naman namin na hindi namin s'ya pababayaan basta sumama lang s'ya samin. Maaari n'ya kaming mabigyan ng mga nalalaman n'ya pagdating namin sa NHC.
