"Cecelion, Gael, Hiroshi, kung ayaw n'yong magpanggap na dinukot n'yo ako. Sino? Si Smoke?" Humalukipkip ako at inirapan ang tatlo.

I told them to pull over. Mag-uusap kami. Kasalukuyan kasi kaming bumabiyahe patungo sa international airport ng Israel. We have a flight to Italy, Rome.

Smoke was silently eyeing the three. Nasa balikat ko ito nakapatong.

Cecelion was the one driving the car, and Hiroshi was sitting on the front seat. Pinapagitnaan naman ako ni Gael at Milen sa backseat.

"Ma'am Eithne, hindi mo ba muna imbestigahan mismo ang ama mo rito? Sa loob ng isang buwan ay wala ka pang nalalaman sa mga gawain n'ya dahil kinukulong ka lang sa mansiyon n'yo," tanong ni Hiroshi.

"I can't spy on him. Security cameras are everywhere. Look? Hirap na nga kayong makasama sa akin. Kinailangan n'yo pang dukutin ang tatlong lalaking mag-a-assist sa akin papuntang Castello de Sartori para palitan ang puwesto nila." Umasim ang ekspresyon ko sa mukha.

Kakaalis lang naman sa mansiyon. Imbes na 'yong tatlong utusan ni Daddy ang kukuha sa akin ay silang tatlo ang dumating. They got through the securities using their fake identities. I was so glad that Daddy was not there to check on me and the men he hired to assist me. Abala s'ya at nagpunta sa presidential house ng Israel.

Nakakalungkot lang dahil hindi man lang ako nakapagpaalam sa bunsong kapatid ko. Ang bilis ng panahon. Parang kailan lang ay kararating ko lang dito.

"They're terrorists, Ma'am Eithne. We don't abduct innocent people," Cecelion reminded me of the good side that they've done.

"I need to do whatever my Daddy wants. Kapag nagawa ko na, he'll think that I'm on his side. He would include me in every meeting he'll attend. Sasabihin n'ya sa akin lahat nang kusa," I was so confident of my own plan.

Milen and Gael was silently listening. They did not react, maybe because we have the same thought.

"Hindi n'ya pwedeng malaman na marami akong alam. Ayaw kong mahuli bilang espiya rito. Gano'n din ang gagawin ko kay Darkkon. Wala akong papanigan," I added while patting Smoke's small head.

Sa parte ng pinaghintuan namin ay isang kalsadang wala'ng masyadong dumadaan na sasakyan. Lumabas muna kami para magpahangin at makapag-isip.

We're at the most beautiful yet most dangerous road in Israel. The Highway 90. They wanted to take this route, at least we got to see some tourist spots here before leaving.

The side of the road were dry and dusty like a desert. There are mountains of rocks, and I don't see any trees here. There are a few grasses that only grows in this place with this kind of climate.

I was chilling. Nakasandal ako sa kotse nang narinig ko ang pagsigaw ni Milen sa 'di kalayuan. May narinig din akong ingay ng mga sasakyan na palapit.

"E-Eithne!"

"Milen!" I called back and immediately went to the direction where I heard her.

But to my surprise, I was stiffened when I saw three SUVs parked at the side of the road.

Milen got headlocked by a masculine guy wearing a white mask with bloodred details. The mask Darkkon used to wear before he changed it into a ghost skull mask.

"D-Darkkon?" I muttered.

Nakasuot ito ng puting long sleeves kahit mainit ang panahon. Kahawig talaga nito ang malaking pigura ni Darkkon.

"He's not Darkkon, Ma'am Eithne. He won't touch other women like that," Gael corrected. He was behind me.

Hiroshi stood beside me. "Ayan na, Ma'am Eithne. Masaya ka na? May dudukot na sa'yo. 'Wag mo na kaming idamay sa pagpapanggap mo—"
