Chapter 26: stay awake
The armies picked up Seven harshly. With his arms behind his back, he was pushed against the floor at kinapkapan. Nakapalibot sa kanya ang napakaraming sundalo, but his calm demeanor is giving me chills. Kung totoo nga ang sinasabi niya, how did he know we were here?
Napakabilis ng mga pangyayari. After the armies confirmed he didn't have anything that could be considered a threat, pinatayo siya.
Seven may not have any weapon or tools, but unknown to them, it's his mind they should be fearing.
Nanatili akong tahimik habang nakatingin sa dako nila. Hindi ko alam kung matutuwa ba ako na nandito siya. It could be a blessing or a curse.
Seven may have ways to escape Prism—or even Zone Z. But at the same time, him being here raises so many suspicions.
Gaya ko, hindi inaalis ni Kruger ang tingin kay Seven. Alam kong marami siyang iniisip. Knowing how smart Seven is, he's probably thinking it's not a coincidence that he's here.
Seven was brought to one of the pods upang imbestigahan, samantalang pinabalik naman kami sa trabaho.
"Seven knows something is up," mahinang sabi ni Kruger.
Nagkatinginan kami ni Bean bago ako sumagot. "So, is that a good or bad thing?"
Kruger shrugged. "Hindi ko alam. I cannot tell just yet."
Matagal bago nakalabas si Seven sa pod. We don't know what questions were asked or paano niya iyon nalusutan. Nang lumabas siya, suot na niya ang uniporme namin sa loob ng Prism.
Nagsialisan na rin ang mga sundalo, and Seven joined us with a grin. Pinagpawisan pa rin siya habang papalapit sa amin. We all stared at him, silently demanding an explanation.
"Seven," Kruger gave him a nod.
"Kruger."
I could feel the imaginary sparks between them. Walang may balak na sumuko, until Kruger sighed.
"This just keeps adding to the tab of my suspicions of you, Seven," sabi niya at komportableng naupo. "The fire... and now this?"
Seven smirked and looked at me. "I told you, lady luck is on my side. I was lucky enough to survive the fire in solitary confinement, at sinuwerte rin akong mapadpad dito nang tumakas ako sa infirmary."
Mukhang hindi kumbinsido si Kruger sa sinabi ni Seven. "Who knows."
"Curious, Kruger?" Seven smirked even more.
Bago pa man lumaki ang sagutan nila, nagsalita na ako. "Bumalik na lamang tayo sa trabaho natin. Walang patutunguhan ang pag-aaway ninyo."
Nilagpasan ko sila at lumapit na lamang sa mga flowerbeds na mino-monitor ko. Naramdaman kong may sumunod sa akin, ngunit hindi ko na lamang iyon pinansin at nagpatuloy sa trabaho. Matapos i-input ang mga obserbasyon, maingat kong pinindot ang glass wall at lumabas ang holographic display ng mga punong nakahilera sa dakong iyon.
