Chapter 19
I wasted no time. I continued driving my car with nowhere to stop.
"Have you located somewhere safe?" I asked him.
"Continue to drive with your speed. You'll be there in fifteen minutes. Just turn right, and then right again. After passing the tallest building with the green sign, turn left, and then straight ahead, you'll see an unoccupied warehouse."
"Copy."
"Once you arrive at your destination. You only have twenty-five minutes before the enemies reach your location."
"Copy."
Muli kong ibinalik ang atensyon ko sa pagmamaneho.
"Where are we going?" I heard the father's voice.
"Somewhere safe. . . for a while."
"I'll get down," muli kong narinig ang boses ni Peter.
"No! You'll just waste your plane! You don't leave your comrades, Pedro."
"I am not leaving them. I just want to check on you. If my baby—"
"I am fine! Oh, god!"
"She admitted. Who is my baby again, Behati?" Naririnig ko na siyang tumatawa.
Hindi rin nagtagal ay narinig ko ang ilang sigawan ng mga piloto. Shit! They're all on!
Bakit nang humihingi ako ng back-up ay wala man lang nasagot?! Sinadya pa ba nilang si Peter lang talaga ang sasagot sa akin? Was that an order?!
"Fuck off. Look in front of you, idiots!"
"I'll land somewhere far from the warehouse. Wait for me. I won't be late this time."
"I said don't waste your plane! The terrorists will just bomb you when you try to land!"
We can't afford another wingless pilot.
"I can waste hundreds of planes for you. See you on land, Lt. Monzanto."
"Fuck you," nahampas ko na ang manibela.
"By the way, you don't have to think about those enemies on your tail. I'm about to crash them because they chased the wrong woman. They can't chase my woman." Ilang beses akong napamura sa sinabi.
"Do what you want. You are the commander. I am powerless."
Kahit sabihin ko sa kanyang huwag na siyang bumaba ay wala pa rin naman akong magagawa sa gusto niya.
"No. I've never seen you powerless, Lt. Monzanto. That's how I fell for you."
I took a deep breath and shook my head.
Hindi na ako sumagot sa kanya hanggang sa putulin niya ang komunikasyon namin sa isa't isa.
But it didn't take long when I heard the continuous ratling gun above us. It's from him and he's starting his attack.
I followed his given direction. At sa pagkakataong ito hindi lamang ako gumagalaw para sa sarili kong buhay. I have a family behind me.
Nang agad kong makita ang warehouse, pansin kong nakasarado pa ang malaking gate nito. The warehouse was old and even with our distance I could see how weak the metal door. Tila gato na ito at punung-puno na ng kalawang.
"We'll go inside," I made a quick movement with my gear shift.
My eyes were now focused in front of the gate.
"Hold on tight." After I warned the family, I turned my car to its fastest speed until we reached the gate and successfully infiltrated it.
Narinig ko ang sigawan ng buong pamilya sa likuran ko kasabay nang pagbangga ng sasakyan ko. But the MUX was stronger than that old gate that it just slightly broken my windshield.
