Unexpected

chapter 8

Colet's POV

Flashback before the rescue

"Colet! Colet! Gising!" Dahan-dahan kong dinilat ang mga mata ko and I saw Gwen and Aiah na nakatingin sakin. Worried is written on their faces.

"Thank goodness you're awake." Sabi ni Aiah. Bumangon ako and nakaramdam ako ng sakit sa ulo ko. I touch it and naramdaman kong basa. Tinignan ko yung kamay ko at may dugo iyon.

"Si Maloi.." mahina kong banggit habang tumatayo. Medyo nawalan ako ng balanse buti na lang at nasalo ako ni Gwen.

"I'll call the police." Sabi ni Gwen.

"No.. not yet. We need to make sure yung exact location niya before calling the cops." I stated while walking to my car.

"How?" Gwen asked.

"I know someone. Both of you, go home." Hindi ko na sila pinagsalita and dumeretso na sa loob ng kotse ko. They tapped my car window pero hindi ko sila pinansin.

I dialed Mikha's number and after a few rings she answered.

"Hello? Who's this?" Mikha asked mula sa kabilang linya.

"Where are you?"

"Nicolette? How did you get my number? Oh, nevermind, I know na.."

"I asked you.. where the hell are you?" I impatiently stated.

"Café malapit sa school.. why?"

"Stay there.. I'm coming." After that, I hang up the phone and nagdrive. Since malapit lang yung mall sa school and around school vicinity lang si Mikha, hindi ako natagalan.

Nung makarating ako sa café, I saw her and her friends outside. Mabilis akong lumabas ng kotse and kahit na nahihilo ako, tuloy-tuloy lang ako sa paglalakad.

"What the hell happened---" Nagtatakang tanong ni Mikha. She noticed the blood on my head and on my shirt. I grab her collar tightly that made her stop from completing her sentence and made her friends approach me.

"They took her. Your enemies took Maloi." Biglang nagseryoso yung mukha niya. Her friends managed to remove my hand from her collar.

Before she could speak, her phone rings. She immediately answered it.

"Nate.. I'm coming." Sagot niya sabay baba ng telepono.

"I know where she is." Sabi ni Mikha sabay lakad.

"I'm coming with you and you can't stop me." Madiin kong sabi. She nod her head. We all went to my car kasi apparently, wala silang dalang mga sasakyan. Mikha will be the driver.

Tahimik lang yung biyahe. One of her friends gave me a handkerchief para punasan yung dugo sa ulo ko.

Hindi nagtagal and nakarating kami sa isang abandonadong warehouse. I'm about to call the police when Mikha stopped me.

"Don't call the police yet." Sabi niya

"Why? We have the location." I argued.

"I need to handle this. If in 20 minutes, hindi pa ako lumabas or si Maloi, call the cops." Mikha said then lumabas ng kotse. Mabilis naman akong lumabas pati narin yung mga kaibigan niya.

"Like hell you're doing this alone Mikha. We're coming with you wether you like it or not." Sabi nung girl niyang kaibigan.

Before they all go inside, hinawakan ko si Mikha sa braso to make her stop. "Save her please." I pleaded.
