Chapter 21- Help
We arrived in Moscow. We didn't take the public plane; we fly in my plane for safety purposes. The ticket that we have was just a dummy. I already knew that there is someone waiting for us to take the bait. Are they stupid to think that we are easy as that?! Fuck them! Hindi kami mga tanga!
I didn't bring any heavy firearm, just my newest 45 caliber. Si Iris naman ay tahimik lang, kanina tinawagan nito ang asawa at nagsabing nakarating na kami. Gustong gusto ko nang tawagan si Abigail, but I can't take the risked, mas mahal ko ito kesa sa buhay ko.
We landed on the Russian Air Force helipad. Ang kasalukuyang Colonel General dito ay may utang na loob saakin kaya madali ko itong nakausap. The Russian Air force is under his command.
I saved his daughter way back when I am still in service, he's generous enough to ask what I want in return but I refused and said I'll used his gratitude when the time comes.
And I needed his gratitude this time, good to know he didn't forget and he is very please to help me.
"Colonel General Vladimir." I tightly shake his hands and nod. Sinalubong kami nito ng nakita kaming nakalabas na ng eroplano.
"Blue, long time no see." He gives me his bright smile. He is old but he's still primed and intimidating as always.
"Long time." I give back the smile he given.
Mabilis kaming nagtungo sa opisina nito, kinausap niya ako na hindi lang daw sa paliparan siya tutulong kundi pati na rin sa pupuntahan ko. I declined at first because it is personal but he insists.
In the end I just agreed but I only want them to be my back up, hindi kami susulong dito kung hindi kami handa at kung pipitsugin lang kami. Kung halang lang ang kaluluwa ang pag uusapan hindi pahuhuli itong mga kasama ko, we just have our dignity and principles. We aren't a whore in the field; we keep our sanity because the end of the day we're still human after all.
We stayed in Radisson Royal Hotel for tonight. Maniwala kayo sa hindi, trip lang nitong mga gunggong mag check in dito. No monkey business daw sabi pa ni Joseph, sabi naman ni Cardo gusto lang daw makakita ng hot chick Russian itong si joseph na ikinailing ko. Minsan hindi seryoso itong mga ito pero masaya akong nag presinta silang sumama, nag tanong ako kung bakit pa sila sasama, they just answered me that they are all bored including Cardo kahit na may asawa na.
Carl, Joseph and Roger went out in the bar they said they want to chill, bakbakan na daw kasi ano mang oras. Cardo is asleep already, Iris is busy cleaning his Armalite riffle and I'm just viewing the lake, there are so much people outside. I saw business men in their suit standing near the small boats.
Napatayo ako ng mapansin kong naglabas ang isa sa mga ito ng sniper. Doon ko napansin na may hawak na mini telescope ang isa sa kanila at sa kinaroroonan ko ito nakatanaw. I cursed, really cursed. Now I admit I'm very stupid and careless. I pressed the button in my wrist watch and whispered.
"Exigency"
I moved fast and gathered all I needed. No need to wake up Cardo because when he heard the word he immediately stood up and position himself. Nilingon ko si Iris ng marinig kong nagpaputok na ito and he positioned in the window.
Napatingin ako sa terrace kung saan ako nakatayo kanina ng may narinig akong may tumilapon, it's grenade. Fucking shit! I run fast as I could. Malakas na sumabog ito, hindi ito pangkaraniwang Granada, they developed it and I cursed again and again.
"Blue! Are you alright man?!" nag aalalang tanong ni Iris. Napangisi ako.
"Take care of yourself man! Hindi na ako bata!" sigaw ko pabalik.
