Angel With A Shotgun

Chapter 25

25.

I don't know how many times I've dialed Kade's number the moment I went back to my room. But he never answered. It keeps on ringing but he never picks up. It just made me more worried on how he's feeling right now and how he's coping up. Wala naman akong ibang pwedeng macontact para makamusta siya... Wala akong kilala na... Ah! Yeah, yung kaibigan niya  na kasama niya nun sa bar. Si Ethan, yung kasama ni Brielle na nakasalubong ko sa hospital. Pwede ko sigurong kontakin para makahingi ng update o baka pwede siyang magset para makita ko si Kade. I'm determined to see him tomorrow no matter what. But how can I talk to Ethan when I don't have his number?

This is draining because my mind doesn't want to think anymore. My stomach is making noise because I need to eat. Ilang araw na din akong walang maayos na kain simula nung nagkagulo.

I decided to go down and ask someone to prepare something for me to eat after my parents failed to get me down and join them for breakfast earlier, right after our heated conversation.

Mas maganda kung hindi na lang muna kami magkikita lalo na ni Daddy para hindi lalong sumama loob ko.

Paakyat na ako ulit ng kwarto ng makita ko si Lucas na nasa harap ng main door, nagmamasid ng buong paligid.

"Hey..."

"Ma'am, kayo pala."

"... Hi! Anything unusual?"

"Wala naman, Ma'am. Safety measures lang."

Napatango ako sa sagot niya. "Are you really from the agency as well? You're not like Marco that's an undercover?"

I was hoping to get some information on Ethan if he happens to him or if he works with the NBI as well.

"No, Ma'am. As far as I know, sa aming apat, si Marco lang ang undercover. Bakit po?"

Shit. Paano kaya 'to? Internet na lang ba ang last resort ko?

"Hmmm... Wala naman. Naisip ko lang na baka hindi lang si Marco ang secret agent dito." Hindi siya related sa NBI so, it's useless asking him about Ethan.

"When did he leave?"

"This morning. Una siyang kinausap ni Sir Kyle."

I sighed. I didn't even get the chance to say sorry for what my father did. He doesn't deserve that kind of punishment after he did everything to protect us, especially me.

Hindi na rin naman ako nagtagal kausapin si Lucas dahil wala rin naman siyang maibibigay na ibang information na pwedeng makatulong sa akin. Bumalik ako sa kwarto para gawin ang nasa isip ko; ang magresearch ng contact information ni Ethan.

~~~~
Hindi na ako dapat magtaka kung mahirap magresearch ng tungkol sa kanila. Of course, their safety is also a priority. I've found a few numbers for him but they aren't working anymore.

When I checked on the time, it's already 5 in the afternoon. Good Lord! 4 hours ko na palang tinatrabaho 'to. Tapos 3 contact numbers lang ang nahanap ko na related sa kanya?

I dialed the last contact number I've found. I hope it'll work this time. Please let it work this time.

"Hello?"

Wow, may sumagot! "Hi! Yes, this is NBI, right?"

"Yes, may I know who's this?"

"Is there any way that I could talk to Ethan?"

"This is Ethan. Sino 'to?"

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa tuwa!

"Ethan! This is Kaesley! Do you still remember?" I hope he still remembered me because we hardly had an interaction.
