She's Sniper

Chapter 15

Chapter 15: Uno

I stopped the engine and got out from the car. Mariin akong pumikit at nagbuntong hininga.

Napatingala ako at saka sumandal sa hood ng kotse. I stared at the city lights and took a deep sigh again. I'm pretty sure, their next move will be worst.

I need to be extra careful. I don't want to let this happen again. Damn. I shook my head at saka pumasok na sa loob.

I sighed as I heard the moron beside me groaned in pain as he moved to sit properly.

"F-ck! D-damn! Where are we?!"

I rolled my eyes and didn't bother to answer.

"H-hey... are you okay? D-damn. I should be the one. B-llshit."

I heard him muttered curses repeatedly then he groaned again. I licked my lips and looked at him.

"Don't move. Your whole body is aching. So, relax and don't be stubborn."

"Ugh. I hate myself."

Pinagtaasan ko naman siya ng kilay.

"I should be the one protecting you. I should be the one-"

"What did I tell you?" Putol ko sa sasabihin niya. Tumahimik naman siya. I sighed again and rested my head in the steering wheel.

"Who the f-ck are they? Why are they f-cking after you? Hec-"

"You don't have to know." Kalmadong kong putol muli sa sasabihin niya.

"That's b-llsh*t! How can I sue them if you don't tell me who the f-ck they are!" He shouted.

Inis ko siyang tiningnan uli at binigyan ng matalim na titig.

"Sue them?" I scoffed. "They aren't the kind of person that you can just easily put on jail. Don't ask anything. The more that you'll know. The more that you're chasing death. So, shut the hell up."

Inis akong sumandal sa upuan at akmang bubuhayin na ang makina nang magsalita uli siya.

"I don't care. I'm not afraid. I want to know everything. If I know a bit... maybe I could protect you."

Umiling ako at saka walang imik na pinaandar muli ang kotse.

You can't protect me. I'm sure you'll curse me to hell if you found out everything.

It's been a week since the encounter. Di na ko pumapasok sa school to avoid him. I already drop and move out again na kahit si Sebastian hindi alam kung nasaan ako.

After kong pinatulog si Xoreen at dinala sa hospital, wala na kong balita s kanya.

Kamusta na kaya ang shet-head na yun? Magaling na kaya sugat nun.

Aish. I shook my head at winala sa isip ko ang walang kwentang tanong na yun.

Sumandal na lang ako sa bintana at tumitig sa city lights. Bigla namang may nagdoor bell.

Yamot akong tumayo at sumilip sa peep hole. Umalerto ako nang may bulto ng isang tao sa labas.

Agad kong binunot ang baril na nasa hita ko before I opened the door. A boy wearing a cap showed in front of my unit.

"Delivery, ma'am."

I stared at him blankly. I smirked. I grabbed his collar and pointed my gun.

He grinned.

"Expected from a genius sniper. Oops. It was also your name. My bad."

"Six." Madiin kong sambit sa pangalan niya.
