RAIN'S POV
2019, October
Philippines, 6:25 a.m.
Iyong dalawang umakyat, bumaba rin matapos ang ilang oras. "You can just drop me out when we reach the shores," I said once more. They were quite for a long time. Gosh!
Just buy it.
Magsasalita na naman sana iyong mokong ngunit inunahan siya noong isa na sinasabi kong mukhang player. "It's okay. This is Lance's anyway," turo niya sa lalaking naghagis sa akin ng jacket. He's in my class.
They continued with their game and some of them are busy with other things like their laptops and books. And I'm pretty sure that they were taking quick glances at me.
Stop. Can't they just stop? Seriously? What's wrong with you people?
"I don't know if this is comfortable for you but do you want to grab some food?" he asked. I don't know him but he also have that colored hair. "I'm Duane," he took the hint and introduce himself.
I haven't read their profiles yet so I have no idea who these people were but one thing's for sure, they knew about B.A.N.G. I need to be careful. I don't know if one one or two of them were hunting me. I have to figure that out soon.
For now, I have to check any updates on Hitler's whereabout but these people won't leave me alone so I'll just put up with it until I get off.
I nodded as an answer. I haven't taken anything from lunch and I'm quite starving. He lead the way to the galley and I followed him.
"Toast?" he asked and I nodded. When he said toast, he didn't only mean toast and peanut butter jelly. He made an entire breakfast with salad and some eggs and bacon plus a cup of coffee.
"Enjoy." As I took the first bite, everybody came inside the galley. "Yo! Give me some, too."
Naupo sila sa mga bakanteng upuan habang pabalik balik sa akin ang tingin. Gusto ko lang namang kumain ng tahimik pero hindi sila nakikisama. Tss.
The last person to enter the room was the guy who gave me the jacket. Hindu ako nagkamali nang inisip na mauupo sa tabi ko iyong mokong.
For me to be able to eat in piece, I should refrain from knowing his existence and beating the hell out of him. "Ahh! We haven't introduced ourselves yet." There was excitement in his voice which is kinda childish.
"Hi. I'm Xan," said the copper brown hair guy that smiles from ear to ear and suddenly wink at me. I saw this jerk beside me glared at him. What's wrong with these people?
"Hadrian," pakilala naman noong lalaking may kulay asul na buhok. "This is Alex and this is Rude," he added mentioning the other two. "And the guy who let you borrow his jacket is Lance." He was busy eating. "And beside you is-" he was cut off by the sudden intervention of this annoying perverted jerk beside me.
"Aldrin," he said. "We meet again, Rain Louise," he said, grinning from ear to ear. Remind me to punch his face when I have the chance. Hindi ko na lamang siya binigyang pansin at kumain.
They were laughing and telling stories while eating except for that Lance guy. He really seemed mysterious. Tss. Rain, enough with the mendling.
"Thanks for the food," I said and left the galley. I don't know why I said thank you for the first time. Dumiretso ako sa kwarto at pinindot and tech watch ko para tignan kung may balita na sa rescue mission nila.
Kalahating oras siguro ang nakalipas, may kumatok sa pinto. I turned off my watch and opened the door. "We're here," he said. Tumango ako at lumabas. Nauna akong naglakad palabas para hindi na naman ako mahinto.
"I'll get going then," sambit ko saka nilakihan ang hakbang para makaalis doon pero nakita kong maraming tao sa harap. They look like paparazzi and journalists. Damn.
May humila sa braso ko and stop me from going out. "If you'll be seen with us by the public, you'll be ruined. Put this on," he gave me a black cap and a mask. "And do something about your hair," he added. I did what he told me not because he told me but because I have no other choice.
"They just won't quit," banas na sabi ni Rude. I remembered their names although I'm not really good at familiarizing faces and names. "Let's go," hinigit na naman niya ako sa braso at hinila palabas. Nasa kabilabg side ko siya at tinatakpan ako mula sa mga flash ng camera.
Mabilis ang lakad namin papunta sa sasakyang naroon. Kasunod namin iyong iba pang kaibigan niya at mabilis rin ang lakad. Nagkaniya kaniya silang sasakyan. Pinasakay niya ako sa passenger's seat kahit na ang daming sumunod na mga tao sa amin.
Nang makasakay na siya sa driver's seat, pinaandar na niya ang sasakyan at pinatakbo ito ng mabilis paalis doon. "Where to drop you?" he asked.
It's Lance, by the way. "Bus stop," sagot ko. Namayani ang katahimikan sa buong biyahe hanggang sa makarating kami sa bus stop. "Thanks," I said and quickly get out of the car.
Sakto namang may dumating na bus kaya sumakay ako roon. Nakarating ako sa bahay at nagmadaling tinignan ang sitwasyon nila Cliff.
I called them and immediately they picked up. "How did it go?" I asked. "We got him out in an hour. Pretty quick, right?" pagmamayabang niya. Tss. "Queen, we couldn't locate where you are for the last six hours. Pin even threatened to put me on a guillotine. Scary guy," he added.
"There's something I have to deal with. I'll call you back after I hit the shower and tell the rest to standby. I have something to tell," I said before hanging up.
After an hour or so, I called them once again. "Venom's dead," I said directly. They were taken aback for a moment. They knew who I was refering to. I know I made the rules not to talk about the person who left but they need to know.
"How'd he die?" Harry asked. "I killed him," I said without beating around the bush. "He was working for Spider so I have to get rid of him."
"Do you understand why I killed him?" I asked with my most dangerous voice scrapping through their flesh. "Because he failed to do his mission," I reasoned out. "And I don't want mine to go down the drain," I added.
If they're not taking this seriously, I will make them realize that they mess with the wrong person. They will suffer the way the others suffer.
This mission is important to me and I will do everything to achieve it. Even if it means that someone's going to die.
