Kabanata 6: Pagbabalik Tanaw

Kabanata 6 : Pagbabalik Tanaw

We are now at the Vnukovo International Airport, it is located for about 28 kilometers southwest from the center of Moscow, Russia. I roamed my eyes inside the said airport, it's very large and well managed. The paints were just fine, simple yet elegant. There were also plants inside and it was well arranged.

Now, I was thinking of how much they had cost for the interior design of this airport. Maybe it would run for hundred millions or more, billions perhaps?

"Is this your first time seeing an airport this big? You look like a kid who's being amaze of something, tsk," I was shock of what I just heard from the sergeant I am with, but I didn't bother myself to utter a single word, I don't want to mess up with her. I am too physically tired kahit paman sabihin na nakaupo kanang kami buong biyahe namin, sitting the whole time in one position is still tiring though.

"Come on Attorney, don't be like a turtle. Time is running," napailing-iling na lamang ako sa narinig. Mainit talaga ang ulo ng partner ko sa akin, and I don't know if this is all a good idea, me as her partner? Jesus, why did you let me have this kind of partner? Masasagad ata ang pasensya ko sakaniya.

I halt my steps when she halted her too and turn around to look at me, "is that the car that will fetch us?" she ask me before she pinpointed a white sedan. I shook my head as an answer.

"Mr. Konstantin Bedritsky told me that it would be a black limousine. And by the way, there will be five Russian men na susundo sa atin," she just shrugged her shoulder and she turned her back to me and continued walking.

Napabuntong hininga na lamang ako, she's like a spoiled brat needed to be controlled. If maybe she's way younger than me, probably ten years younger than me and if maybe I would be her mother, I would ground her, I won't tolerate that kind of actions. That's a form of disrespect!

"We're waiting here for about thirty minutes! Can you please make a call on them again?" Napataas ang kilay ko dahil sa narinig.

Nag-memenopause na ba ang babaeng ito? Kanina pa siya nagtataray. Oh well, maybe she's just tired or maybe this is just the real her.

"Could you please stretch your patience just this time? Please be professional Sargent."

I never heard another words from her after that, hanggang sa masundo na kami at madala sa presidential office na naka-locate parin sa Moscow.

It's a long ride actually and I am very glad that we make it here, safe and sound.

"Please take a seat," sabi ng Presidente, "I am glad that you're finally here, I know that you already had the idea with regards to this mission but I will still explain it again to the both of you to make things clear," he said and then he smile so I smiled back and so my partner is.

"Oh! Before anything else, scotch or Vodka?" The president ask the both of us. Russia by this time is very cold and drinking liquors would make you feel warm.

"A coffee would do Mr. President," I answered. My partner chose scotch, and I didn't say a thing about it, that's her choice.

"I really trust the both of you, especially you Mrs. Gibran, I've heard a lot of things about you and it made me realize that you really fit in this job. You're well trained, same as with this former SEAL member. I already do the background checking and all I can say is I really had picked the perfect persons for this mission," I took a sip of my brewed coffee after I listened to the President's introduction.

"This is such an honor to do a mission for the Russian president. It feels like some heroic deeds," my partner laugh a bit at that. Hmm... Seems that she's now in a good mood.
