PLANS

( comments, suggestions, violent reactions? )

ZHALIA'S POV

The planning with Sky took the whole night to start.

Sky handed me some paper and files and pictures about everything. Eli.

I now know details about his family. Kung bakit nga may motibo siya para gawin yung mga yun. And kung bakit niya ako girlfriend. Seeing the lines and connections between his moves.

Yung akala ko lumipat siya ng school for me, pero para lang pala mas mapalapit kay Sam dahil alam niyang lumipat na din si Sam sa school.

May konting blur pa din kung bakit ako.. Bakit ako yung napiling paglaruan?

Iniisip ko tuloy kung imagination ko lang lahat ng nangyari with Eli. It was such a dream.. I can still remember his touch, his kiss. And now it just sends me shivers.

Ano bang hindi ko alam?

In Sky's part of the room, he opened some holographic view of a map of Eli's little castle. Every tunnel, every possible entryway, lahat chnecheck-an niya.

Ang galing pa nga kasi iniisip niya na yung mga possibilities knowing that Eli is also a skilled tactician of the team.

We started on planning. It was hard and easy at the same time. Mahirap kasi ito ata ang pinaka seryosong mission na gagawin ko. Kaming dalawa lang ang gagawa ng mission. At malapit pa sa puso ko ang target. Madali kasi parehas kaming mabilis magisip ng possible options. Kanya kanyang throw ng ideas and thoughts kung pano gagawin yung mission.

3:02 AM

"Can we really do this?" I asked him while taking a sip of my coffee. Sir Gray had it delivered to our room. Sky just looked at me and raised his eyebrows. "You doubt me?" Sabi niya naman. Tiningnan niya ulit yung hologram and nagma-mark ng mga possible entry points.

After calculating the mission, naisip namin na kailangan namin yung iba sa Rank.

But we will make it look like it's a rescue mission. Basta makalapit kaming dalawa kay Eli, dun na naman sisimulan yung mission naming dalawa.

"When are the others coming over?" Sabi ko.

"Not now. We can just meet them sa base." Sabi niya naman, mildly annoyed with my tone.

Bigla naman dumating si Sir Gray na may dala dalang.. um.. ice cream and cookies??

Napatingin naman ako bigla kay Sky at nakita kong bigla siyang namula. Natuwa pa ako dahil cookies and cream yung dala ni Sir Gray, my favorite!

"To motivate you." Sabi niya pa kahit na siya naamn tong mas eager samin na kumain ng ice cream. As in, kumuha pa talaga siya ng cone at dun niya pa nilagay yung ice cream niya. Parang bata pa na dinidilaan yung ice cream. Weird sight. San kaya nagmana to?

Napa chuckle nalang ako at kumuha ng ice cream. After all of these heavy stuff, I think I deserve a little of this.

"Cookies and cream?" Sabi ko sabay dagdag ng oreos sa ice cream ko. Nakita niya naman yung ginawa ko at nagulat dahil yun din ang ginagawa niya. "Favorite." Sabi niya nalang.

"Bakit ang konti mo magsalita?" Sabi ko lang out of the blue, actually just out of curiosity.

"There's just nothing to say." Sabi niya naman na parang alam na alam na siya sa mga ganitong tanong. I suddenly remembered Sam and I felt the pain cross my heart. Parang automatic lang na nag-tighten yung chest ko. "Sam?" Sabi niya naman habang naglalagay ng ice cream sa gitna ng oreos.
