MAFIA SERIES 1: Two Sides Of Her (Complete)

Chapter 37

Bahagyang natahimik ang kabilang linya. What's happening? Did they get the girl?

Pasimple kong inabot ang aking baril habang mabibigat ang hiningang binibitawan dahil sa kaba.

Kung magkakagulo nga ngayon sa party, the first thing I'll have to do is evacuate Leander from the venue.

"Moscow to Montisanti. We have the target. Proceeding with the extraction."

Napahinga ako ng maluwag nang sabihin iyon ni Giada.

"Guard the target. We'll bring her to the HQ tomorrow. We'll interrogate her there." I whispered before turning to Leander's direction. Mukhang kakatapos lang ng pag-uusap nila no'ng isa niyang kakilala dahil saka pa lamang ito bumaling sa akin.

Dadalhin namin ang kanilang nahuling staff sa maynila. Sa underground ng family mansion, doon namin ginagawa ang interrogation. At paminsan-minsang torture. Depends on the situation.

"Copy boss." Sagot ni Giada sa akin before the line went silent.

This day is pretty intense. Kanina pa lang ay nakahanap na kami agad ng bomba sa kwarto. Tapos ngayon, may plano pa silang lasunin si Leander. What's your next step, Incognito? I'll be more than willing to hinder it.

"Are you okay, Schwyze?" Nag-aalalang tanong ni Leander sa 'kin.

"Ako? Of course I'm fine. Ba't naman ako hindi magiging okay?" Sagot ko sa kaniya.

"You've been acting weird lately. May problema ba?"

Marami. Maraming-marami, Leander. But instead of saying it, I shook my head as a reply.

"Wala. Walang problema, Leander. You know what, you should stop worrying about me and just enjoy the party."

"Escorting the target into the hotel." Giada spoke suddenly. I know they'll enter through the rooftop going down to the fourth floor. So I wouldn't have to worry about Leander and them bumping to each other on the way.

"I can't enjoy the party if you're not feeling well. Gusto mo pumasok na tayo sa loob? Tutal mukhang tapos na rin naman 'tong event. We don't have to stay any longer if you don't want to."

I bit my lower lip. Masyadong maunawain talaga si Leander sa iba. Always thinking about the welfare of others and never about himself first.

"Target contained. Pero hindi pa rin tayo sigurado kung dito ba matatapos ang assassination attempts kay Leander. For now, I think it's best if you go back to the hotel." Salem spoke.

"Also, the three are oddly unsuspicious." Dagdag pa ni Salem na ipinagtataka ko rin. They all seemed to be so unbothered by all this.

"Uh. Leander, I think you're right. Bumalik na lang tayo ng hotel para rin makapagpahinga na 'ko. Baka sakaling mawala na din itong sakit ko sa ulo."

I stood up from my seat at agad akong inalalayan ni Leander. He's holding me on my arms pero kaya ko namang maglakad. Ngunit hindi na ako umangal pa. I have to act like I'm feeling under the weather.

Nang makarating na kami sa aming silid ay agad akong dumiretso ng walk in closet para magbihis na. I wore my Coco contrast-trim silk pyjama set. I turned off my earpiece at tinanggal rin ito. But I placed it on my pocket. Susuotin ko ito mamaya.

I opened my duffel bag and took my beretta 92. I also searched for a silencer at kinabit ito doon. Muli ko itong binalik sa loob ng bag bago ito sinara at lumabas na ng walk in closet.

Naabutan kong nakaupo na si Leander sa couch. Nakaputing tshirt lang siya at black and white checkered na pjs sa ibaba.

"You should go to sleep. Dito na lang ako sa couch matutulog. Baka hindi ka komportable."
