Truly Madly Deeply Zombie [Completed]

Chapter 82 - Blabby

POV Sienna

Time: 10:00 AM (Tuesday)

Tama nga si Herschel dahil nagsimula na magkaroon ng lagnat si Jordan. Habang busy si Kio sa laptop niya, si Sav naman ay binabantayan si Jordan sa loob ng cabin.

"I already locked the front gate of the yacht club. Can you access the feeds along Saint Thomas Boulevard and First Avenue?" tanong ni Herschel kay Kio habang nasa living room kami.

"I already did. Thanks to your internet access, I can see anyone about a mile from here. Your mother sent me a message. She wants to speak with you," sagot ni Kio.

"I will call her later. Let's stay here for the meantime. If there is an imminent danger, the yacht is ready for our departure. Any updates from Harold?"

"Not yet, but he knows that we are already here. He is just a bit busy in Aquinas Island."

Busy? Kahit busy si Harold, dapat nagrereply siya kay Kio. May tinatago si Harold na hindi namin alam...

"Kio, is  there something fishy going on?"

"I am not sure, Che, but that island is shrouded with mystery. I will not be surprised if Doctor RE has his eyes inside the headquarters."

"Keep me posted. Sienna, let's go to the upper deck," sabi ni Herschel at naglakad papunta sa hagdanan.

"Tapos na kayo mag-English? Well, buti naman kasi nosebleed na ako. Kio, ikaw na bahala sa baby natin."

"Yes, bes. Safe and sound si Baby Lab Lab dito. I think we need to come up with a name sooner or later," sabi ni Kio habang hinahaplos ang black puppy sa tabi niya.

"How about Blabby? Short for Black Labrador Baby?"

"Blabby it is. Let's go, Sienna," sabi ni Herschel habang hinihila ako papunta sa upper deck ng yacht.

Pagdating namin sa taas, naramdaman ko ang malamig na hangin ng Aldridge Bay. Parang kailan lang, tumalon kaming lima sa Aldridge Bay para makasakay sa rubber boat.

"Just like Kio, I don't trust anyone in Aquinas Island. I prefer to stay here in this yacht until we received a confirmation that it is already safe in there," mahinang sabi ni Herschel na biglang yumakap sa akin.

"How about sa Alexius Island? Dun sa suite ni General Regalado?"

"JC has a theory that Doctor RE has a massive connection inside the military and he thinks that Doctor RE's real target is his dad. He don't want to take any chances in Alexius Island."

"Si Doctor Resident Evil, hindi pa ba siya nakikita?"

"That man is untraceable, pero may pakiramdam ako na kilala na ng daddy ko at ng daddy ni JC kung sino talaga si Doctor RE," mahinang sabi ni Herschel at mas lalo akong niyakap ng mahigpit.

Tahimik lang kami na nakatanaw sa Aldridge Bay. It looks peaceful contrasting sa mga zombies na kumakalat sa loob ng Aldridge City.

"Sienna, why don't you work for me? I can refer you as our resident Marine Biologist in our Research and Development Team," mahina niyang tanong habang nakayakap pa rin sa akin.

"Is that for the advancement of my career or gusto mo lang na palagi ako kasama?"

"Long distance relationship is quite hard. Mahigit dalawang taon na tayo magkasama at madalas, once in every two months lang tayo magkita," sabi niya habang dahan dahan na hinahalikan ang leeg ko.

"Is the mighty Herschel Rivera finally admitting na missed na missed na niya ako pag nasa Perth ako?"

"Wag mag-assume, ayoko lang na sumasakay ng eroplano papunta sa Australia. But I am serious with the offer, dad will surely welcome you to be part of our team. Ipapasyal kita sa buong Aquinas Island and we can do a lot of things, just the two of us," mahinang sabi niya habang dahan dahan ko nararamdaman ang kamay niya sa loob ng shirt ko.

"Herschel, wag dito. Baka makita tayo ng mga engkanto ng tubig."

"They won't mind, kasama ko ang reyna nila," natatawa niyang sagot bago angkinin ang mga labi ko.

Naitulak ko lang ng bahagya si Herschel nang maramdaman ko ang nagmamadali na footsteps paakayat ng hagdanan. Si Kio ang nagmamadali na umakyat sa upper deck at kasunod niya si Blabby.

"They are here..." he whispered with teary eyes.

They are here? Sino ang tinutukoy ni Kio? Bakit parang naiiyak siya at natatakot?
