CHAPTER 69: Unmasked

CHAPTER 69: Unmasked

[CHASE]

The tension is getting more intense as time pass by. No one dared to speak. No one dared to stand up. No one dared to move. All focus on one thing... The E.R. red light, wishing that i'll lit out and the operation is a success.

But as the clock hits 12. Our hopes are getting down. Hearts are getting broken and tears are starting to fall again. The silent cry of Cris mother's been bothering me all hour. She was sitting next to me and tito, holding a rosary. Asking for His help and guidance. I felt ashamed as it was my fault that there son is facing the edge of death because of some unknown man.

I could have known better. I could have saved him if I keep him close. I could have protected him if I stayed by his side. I could have done my part if I was intelligent enough to keep them safe at all times. I was unfocused from the very beginning, I was tamed and too naive. Guess everything is not enough. I lack something...

"Chase. Si Ava." inabot ni Ken sa akin ang phone niya but I was not in the mood to speak, so then, hinintay kong siya ang magsalita.

"Chase?! Chase?! Nandyan ka ba?? Aish... Nevermind! Kung naririnig mo ako, gusto ko lang sabihin sayo na nawawala ang kapatid mo. Sa tingin ko alam niya na ang hideout na pinagtataguan ng matandang hukluban na yun! Chase... I think your brother is planning to end all of this. He is using himself as a bait para iligtas tayo...Ang mga kaibigan natin...Si Tara pati na din si Shane..." the moment I heard her name para akong nagkaroon ulit ng malay-tao. Tumayo ako sa bangkong kinaluluklukan ko kanina at bahagyang lumayo.

"Tara? Shane? Why? Don't tell me..."

"Kung ano mang iniisip mo, yun din ang palagay naming tatlo nila Ty. That gang is keeping Tara and Shane hostage. Si Cris at si Arkin... T-They set up that trap for them... I'm finally getting this whole sh*t Chase! They are playing with us! Gusto nilang mahati ang atensyon nating lahat because they knew it'll be a lot easier to cease us kung malayo tayo sa mga kaibigan natin. First was Cris and Arkin, now its Tara and Shane. Hellard already figured it out that's why... That's why his going there to save them. Please Chase I need your help...I...I need to save your brother...Please call for back ups, as many as you can...I'll give you an update after a minute." I was unable to speak hanggang sa maputol na lang ang linya at tapikin ni Eric ang aking balikat.

"What did she say?"

"Tara and Shane... W-We need to save them." nagkatinginan pa muna silang dalawa bago ibinalik sa akin ang tingin at mukhang nakuha na ang nais kong iparating. Tumango lang sila sa akin tsaka nag-ayang umalis ngunit natigilan lamang ulit nang hindi ako sumunod sakanila.
