Chapter 16 - Life and Death

Ley Simon Reyes

Dalawang araw ng nawawala si Lex but we can't still find her, ilang araw na namin pinag-planuhan ng mga Gang ko kung saan siya pwede itago. Tiningnan ko si Neil, my half brother. He's searching the place where Kate can hide.

"Wala ba kayong alam or idea na place na pwede niyang pag taguan?" tanong ni Mateo sa kanya.

"I still don't know why I can't find her. Wala siya ganoong kalaking pera para maka pagtago ng ganito sa akin."

"Maybe, she's just smart in hiding. Mana mana lang." sabi ko dito at tiningnan nya ako ng clueless na tingin.

"What do you mean?" I smirk at him.

"You don't get it? Natago nga kayo ni Dad sa amin ni Mom then paano natin mahanap yung si Kate, if magaling din—" Kuya Jacob cut my words.

"Ley, we are here to find Lex. I know we are all frustrated to find her pero walang magagawa ang pakikipagtalo nyo sa isa't isa." sabi nito at lumabas ng kwarto. Lumapit na lang ako sa mga kagrupo ko.

"Any lead?" tanong ko sa kanila pero umiling lang silang lahat. Ang rami ko na nagawang mura but still we can't find her, I miss her..

Napa lingon kami sa pumasok, si Kuya Jacob with Sandy. And I still didn't expect so many things I haven't expecting. She's in the Gangster world, there is something with her and to Troy, and this man beside me. Abniel.

Napatigil ako sa pag iisip nang may biglang nag ring.

"Hello?" sagot ni Mateo pero agad nya itong nilagay sa loudspeaker.

[Help me...] nang marinig ko yung boses na iyon parang nanghihina ang tuhod ko.

"Lex! Where are you!" sabay-sabay naming tanong but I just heard her cry and mourn.

"Lex!!" sigaw ko dito at kinuha ang phone ni Mateo.

"Princess, please to your Kuya Ley. Tell me, kung ano ang nakikita mo or naririnig mo." sabi ko ulit dito and while doing that, I gave Troy a sign to locate the phone number.

[Kuya Ley, si Kuya Jacob?]

"I'm here, don't be scared Princess, we're here..."

[Kuya, I miss you na. Please, save me... I'm scared.] her voice, kinuyom ko ang kamao ko at buntong hininga.

"Lex, don't be scared. Listen carefully." sabi ko dito at tiningan silang lahat. "We are rescuing you, no matter what happens. So be brave and wait for us, mahahanap ka namin. You trust Kuya Jacob and me right?"

[Yes but what if you can't fi—]

"Just trust us." sabi ni Mateo.

[Mateo?]

"Yes, I'm here. Promise me, if you trust me. Pupunta ulit tayo doon sa perya, so trust us no matter what happens, Lex." sabi nito pero nagulat na lang kaming lahat nang biglang tumili si Lex.

"Lex! Lex!!" tawag ko dito but I just heard a woman voice.

[I told you, bantayan nyo lang siya. Wag ninyong galawin! Bakit nyo pa din ginalaw!!!]

"Kate?" napatingin naman ako sa tumawag.

[Lex, I know you are there. Don't be scared, I'm just your little sister. I don't have any guns...] sabi nito at kinuyom ko kamao ko, I need to calm down. Pero mas lalo lang kumakabog ang dibdib ko nang makarinig ako ng putok ng baril.
