"We need to go."

Sunud-sunuran siya kay Nick habang hila hila nito ang isang kamay niya patakbo sa kinaroroonan ng basement. May kung anong passcode itong pinindot bago bumukas ang pintuan. Mabilis siya nitong hinila papasok.

Madilim sa loob pero agad din iyon napalibutan ng liwanag ng buksan ni Nick ang switch ng ilaw. Tumambad sa kanya ang nakahilerang mga baril at mga patalim sa may dingding-- in different sizes.

Sa mabilis na galaw, kumuha ito ng ilang mga patalim at baril saka inilagay sa isang itim na duffel bag.

She stood rooted on the ground, watching him.

"Let's go!"

Nick's urgent tone snapped her from her trance. Sumunod siya dito papunta sa isang bagay na natatakpan ng isang itim na tolda. Mabilis nitong tinaggal iyon at tumambad sa kanya ang isang pamilyar na kulay itim na military style truck. Nagtatakang tinitigan niya si Nick.

"Derrick sent me two of these just in cases something like this happens." Ang maikling sagot nito.

That was why the car looked familiar. Her grandfather and Derrick uses the same car whenever they go out of the estate. Her grandpa even purchased one for her.

Mabilis silang sumakay doon.

"Lacon, you hear me buddy?"

Isang boses ang pumailanlang mula sa cellphone ni Nick.

"Clear."

"Good. Be careful. I've spotted three... four... enemy vehicles. Dalawa sa bukana ng rancho. Another two at two kilometers. Hi there by the way, your grace." And masiglang bati nito sa kanya.

Nick just grunted. "I'll handle the two in front. You handle the other two at the back." Nick instructed.

"Roger."

"Alleck and Mason are going to be fine, are they not?" Tanong niya. Pilit itinatago ang kaba.

"Yes." Ang maikling sagot nito. Naghintay siyang dugtungan nito iyon pero hindi na ito muling nagsalita pa.

"And how are you going to do that?!" Asik niya.

Marahil ay sanay ito sa mga ganito kadelikadong sitwasyon pero siya hindi. Anak niya ang pinag-uusapan nila dito. She needs assurance!

"Nick!"

He sighed. "We're going to be the decoy, princess.."

"W-what?"

"Those bad guys will surely follow us, leaving the way out of the ranch intruder free. We'll just have to kill those bastards to make sure Alleck and Mason are safe and sound when they go out."

"And how are we going to... kill these bastards?" She saw him smirk.

"This car is armoured with strong guns as weapons. Aside from that, it's also bullet proof as well as shock proof. It can also work through voice control system."

"Meaning, I can also control the car and help Nick fight the bastards." Singit ni Aiden na kanina pa pala nakikinig sa kanila. "It's not supposed to be controled by another person other than the driver but don't worry, Derrick gave me permission so only I can do it aside from Nick."

"And Alleck? How about Alleck?"

"Remember when I told you that Derrick sent me two of these? Well Mason has the other one so you don't have to worry."

Pero kakasabi pa lang nito niyon ay sunod sunod na putok na ng baril ang umalingawngaw sa ere. She even saw some of the bullets hit the side mirror. Pero parang sa isang maliit na bato, tumalsik lamang ito sa ibang direksyon.
