"Psst!"
Nilingon ko si Jack habang nakatayo sa harapan ko, ang kamay nito ay nakalabas sa mga rehas ng kulungan. Tiningnan ko ang tinatawag niya, tatlong babae ang bantay sa amin ngayon. Nakaupo sila sa malayo habang yakap ang kanilang mga baril.
"Pwede bang tumigil ka sa pagtawag sa amin?" Sagot ng babae.
"Sungit mo naman, itatanong ko lang kung bakit akala niyo Genesis kami?" Sabi ni Jack,
"Bakit hindi ba?"
"Hindi, miyembro nga kami ng Boulton Army paano kami magiging Genesis?" Singhal ni Jack,
"May kaibahan ba 'yon?" They replied.
Tumaas ang kilay ko, nagkatinginan kami ni Jack. Nilingon ko ang babaeng nagsalita.
"Hey, what's your name?" I asked. She gave me an annoyed look.
"Nina." Sagot niya,
"What do you mean by that, Nina? We're not the same as those guys." Sabi ko.
"Army kami hindi Genesis." Sabi ni Jack,
She rolled her eyes. "Yes, and Genesis. Kaya nga kami nawalan ng maraming kasama dahil sa inyong mga miyembro ng Boulton Army."
I heaved a sigh. "Boulton Army and Genesis, iisa lang kayo hindi ba?" Sagot ng babae sa tabi niya,
"Of course not! Hindi kami mga mafia ano!" Singhal ni Jack. "Mukha ba kaming mamamatay tao?"
Nahimas ko ang baba ko, kaya pala akala nila sasaktan namin sila. But wait?
"Have you seen the Genesis that has the same uniform as us?" I asked Nina,
"Yes, and why?"
Jack and I looked at each other,
"Dude, if Genesis is pretending to be part of the Boulton Army, who helped them?" I asked Jack.
"And for all these years? How come naitago nila ito sa atin?" Sagot ni Jack.
Why all of a sudden, we just recently discovered this Genesis? And most of all, how and where do they get the equipment to pretend they are part of the Boulton Army? I don't want to think that they got helped by someone from our colleagues, but that is the only possibility that I can conclude.
"These Genesis, what did they do to you?" I heaved a sigh,
Nilingon ko sila Nina.
"They massacred our friends." Sagot ng katabi niya,
Nina looks at me with bloodshot eyes. "We are a group of thirty people when Genesis found us, we are so happy that finally the army reached for us, akala namin nasa safe na lugar na kami." She explained, "They promised us that they'll help us, giving us safe shelter, foods, and anything. Pero iba sa pinangako nila. Kung hindi kami nakatakas baka lahat kami wala na ngayon, para kaming mga hayop na hinuli." Tuluyan siyang umiyak,
"Hey, it's okay. I understand, huwag mo nang ituloy." Sabi ko,
The way she cried, the way they looked at us. I know they're all traumatized. The world is about to become good again, and we discovered the Medicine M.K. and the people relaying to us are thinking that we can still go back to normal. But if Genesis is producing this Aphrovila Vertigo, the new normal we are wishing for is impossible.
I looked at Suzi and Lieutenant Kim when they came out the door they came from. Suzi quickly came towards the cell and immediately opened it.
"Suzi, bakit mo sila papakawalan?" Tanong ni Nina,
