"Apply it immediately to stop the bleeding."

"Doc Cath, mas malala ang tama ng kambal."

"It won't kill us, dummy." Lumipat ang tingin ni Chasin sa kasama ng kausap. "Alki, samahan mo si Generys."

Pinanuod ko kung paano nila daluhan ang mga sugat nila. We are in the common room. After the hunt, kaagad na tinawagan ni Alki ang medic ng headquarters na dumeretso dito sa hideout. We were the last blow and gained the points but unfortunately, we were badly injured.

Matapos magpakilala ang Sharpshooter that time, with Kio's instructions, lumabas kaming lahat at pinalibutan sila. Matapos ang sagupaan, ito ang natamo namin ngayon.

Generys was shot on her upper right breast. Natanggal na ang bala pero hindi pa rin tumitigil sa pagdurugo dahil hindi siya mapakali. Magnus has a bandage around his body after getting a big blow from one member of Sharpshooter. Malaki ang sugat sa kanyang likod. While, Chasin got hits mostly on his face when he and the one named Tisoy had a physical fight. It was the same guy who shot Generys.

Mabuti na lang, wala malalang sugat si Larasati at scratches lang sa binti nang may tumulak sa kanya. Morgan was fully protected that time. Bree passed out after protecting her. Nasa kanyang kwarto siya ngayon at may doktor nang dumadalo. Gaya niya, nasa sariling silid din si Azai. His right arm is broken. Kasama niya ngayon si Morgan.

The Reapers must have something to do with the lioness. We have tried many times to shoot it pero parang pinoprotekthan nila ito. They don't seem to aim the last shot...they wanted the beast alive.

But if they don't kill the beast, then why they were still gaining points and are the leading Reaper? Was it only the lioness they wanted? Impossible.

"You're also wounded," Doc Cath suddenly spoke. Masyado akong preoccupied sa panunuod sa mga kasamahan ko at hindi ko na napansin ang paglapit niya.

"I'm fine," sagot ko na kinatawa niya nang mahina.

"Gan'yan din ang sabi nila," saad niya saka tumingin rin sa kanila, "pero tingnan mo, they can die anytime."

Silly us. Mas nagpokus kami sa pagprotekta sa isa't isa kaysa sa halimaw kanina. And now we're badly injured.

"Let me treat your wounds."

Hindi na ako tumanggi pa, as long as my friends' wounds have already dressed.

Dahil tapos na kami sa misyon at nakuha kaagad ng Ministry of Protection ang patay ba halimaw, baka inilabas na ang puntos namin sa chart. That was our first mission after they bring everything back to zero. Ibig sabihin, papasok na ulit kami sa chart.

As far as I want to check it, pinigilan ko na lang ang sarili ko at tahimik na hinayaang gamutin ni Doc Cath ang sugat ko. It was Captain's command to not scan through Ministry of Protection's account for now at baka ma-overwhelm lang daw kami. But when I squinted my eyes to him, nakita ko siyang kunot-noong tinititigan ang smartphone niya.

"How's Bree?" tanong ni Generys kay Kio na palabas mula sa lift galing sa baba.

"Still knocked out," sagot niya at naupo sa bakanteng couch malapit kay Generys.

Naramdaman ko na lang na binabalutan na ng gauze ang braso kong may tama ng bala. Doc Cath definitely already got rid of it. I didn't even noticed. After dressing it, I mouthed thank you at her.

Kaagad akong tumayo at nilapitan si Chasin. Nakarating na ako sa likuran ng inuupuan niya pero parang 'di pa rin niya napapansin ang presensya ko. I saw him refreshing the chart and everytime that it refreshes, its still showing the same ranking.
