Capture
I walked through the silent hallway of the company back to our office at patuloy na lumilingon para irapan ang lalaking nakasunod sa likod ko.
Walking with his hands on his pocket, like he was walking to a fashion show. Maraming mga empleyadong babae ang halos mabali ang leeg para lang matanaw siya.
I rolled my eyes on him.
Pagkapasok ko sa loob ay wala na si Baltimore sa loob.
"He didn't get a chance to say goodbye to you, something happened at home. That's what he said." Givanne said while reading something on the paper.
He looks super hot and genius on that eyeglass of his.
I cleared my throat and went to my desk.
Habang nagtatrabaho ay nakaupo sa gilid ko si Dyma. He's checking my work. Inirapan ko ulit siya at saka idinikit pa ang sarili sa desk.
My phone beeped. Umalingaw-ngaw ito sa mga sulok ng opisina.
I looked at Dyma and covered my phone with my body and started reading it.
Diego:
There's something I need to discuss with you. It's urgent.
My heart skipped a beat. Does this mean that I will finally receive my official mission and end this work?
Agad kong isinara ang cellphone at inilagay sa bag. I cleared my throat to get Givanne's attention.
"Uh... S-Sir?" I started.
"Yes?" He eyed me with his round specs.
"C-Can I get off early today? It's something urgent." I said and readied myself.
It really doesn't matter kung magpapaalam ako at sa ikinikilos ko ngayon, para bang sinasabi kong hindi siya pupwedeng humindi.
"Sure. Your work is finished today, anyway." He smiled and get back to his reading.
"Thank you, Sir." I smiled and quickly passed through them, completely avoiding his eyes.
Agad akong bumaba sa basement at hinanap ang aking BMW. Nang makapasok sa loob ay agad kong dinial ang numero ni Diego.
I leaned my back on the back rest and looked at the other cars infront of me. May isang itim na SUV akong katapat at isang Vios ang katabi nito.
"Hello, Diego?" I said when the call was received.
"Hey, what's up?" He said.
"What what's up? I'm ready, paalis na ako!" I said and looked for my key.
"What? Anong sinasabi mo?"
Before I could react, my gaze was darted to my dashboard mirror. Marahan at maingat kong kinapa ang ilalim ng aking sasakyan.
"I said, let's meet up..." I continued talking.
The guy behind the backseat of my car was unaware that I just saw him. Stupid.
"Anong sinasabi mo, naguguluhan ako!" Diego slightly laughed.
"Wait lang, I'll just check my tires." I said and opened the door of my car.
Yumuko at kunwari'y ini-inspection ang gulong.
"I really don't know what you're talking about." He said on the other line.
"Qui c'è qualcuno per me..." I said in Italian. (Someone's here for me.)
"What!? Where are you right now?"
"Non posso davvero parlare liberamente in questo momento, se succede qualcosa... sai cosa fare." Sagot ko at palihim na tinignan ang katapat na van nito. Some guys were un mounting off the van. (I can't really speak freely right now, if anything happens... you know what to do.)
I pocketed my phone when they approached.
Tumayo ako at sinalubong sila. They were a bit bulky but not that bulky at all. Ang iba'y mapapayat pa.
"Kailangan mo ng tulong, Miss?" The one with an ugly smashed face said.
"Oo, eh. My tire, I think, is a bit flat." I said.
Yumuko ito at in-examine ang gulong. I gripped my gun tightly.
"Wala namang problema, Miss..." sabi niya at iaangat na sana ang tingin ngunit agad kong hinampas ang handle ng baril sa kaniyang batok.
He collapsed on the ground.
"Br-Bruno!" A guy said in there group.
I looked at them and they started taking out their knives and guns. Nasa anim pa silang nakatayo plus the guy inside my car.
The person on the right fired the gun.
"Sumama ka ng matiwasay kung ayaw mong masaktan!" The guy said.
"Hoy! Bilin ni Boss na hindi pupwedeng masaktan ang babae!" Rinig kong bulong ng isang lalaki.
Nagtatalo silang lahat sa harapan ko. I grabbed the chance to fire two of them in the leg. They howled in pain.
"Tang*na! Hulihin niyo na yan!"
In just a split second, guns were firing all over the basement. Nagtago ako sa likod ng isang Chevron. The crack on the car was heared at nagsimulang mag-alarm ang mga kotseng natamaan ng bala.
I bit my lower lip and went out of my hiding place. Masyado na kaming makaka-attract ng tao kapag nagpatuloy pa to.
I aimed the other two perfectly on the leg again. I only have limited bullet to waste one.
Ang dalawang natitira ay nagsimulang magtago. I frustratedly heaved out a sigh and went to my car.
I opened the back seat at agad itinutok ang baril sa ulo ng nakasakay. He jumped and then slowly raised his hands.
Inilabas ko siya doon at sinipa ang pintuan para sumara. I pushed him in the open and fired on his feet. He screamed.
Agad akong pumasok sa loob at pinaandar ang kotse. The police came, just in time, really.
