9 Assassins: When the Coldest Get Warm

Chapter 16: The Plan

Keen POV

Matapos kong kumain ay bumalik ako sa sala para basahin ulit ang e-mail ni Pej.

I read all of it. But there's one thing that makes me think more and deeper.  

Ang baril na ginamit ay Tokarev. And it's a big issue for me. So I called Pej.

Keen: What do you mean by this?

Pej: You know what it means.

Keen: Pej.

Pej: Okay, okay. The gun that was used was 'Tokarev. TT-33. It's an old army sidearm, HL clip. And it's favored in the Russian Mafia.'

Keen: Then?

Pej: The TT-33  existed as a further developed and modified form of the base TT-30. And as you know, it's a semi-automatic pistol. It's from Soviet Union and served from 1930 to 1965.

Bigla siyang nanahimik. And I heard folders that being closed.

Pej: Since it was favored in the Russian Mafia I'm confused also kung bakit yan ang ginamit na baril. There's many possibilities and one of that is maybe the Zonal Verge ay Russian Mafia. Second, pinagamit lang sa tauhan ang baril. At kung pinagamit nga kanino naman to galing and it proves na may Russian sila na kasama na nagbigay

ng baril na to. And maybe one of Zonal Verge member is a Russian, have a Russian friend, a member of Russian's Mafia or he himself buy this gun from the Russian Mafia. Or the Zonal Verge is not connected to any Russian Mafia. Nagkataon lang na ito ang ginamit na baril.

Keen: Hmmmm....

Pej: And it irritates me because as you know we prefer knives than guns. Only Fare, Messy and Ece, also a bit, like guns.

Keen: 'Knives are quiet, I like knives.'

Pej: That's why I got irritated.

Keen: That's all?

Pej: Nope. We better meet. You know it's hard to explain over the phone.

Keen: Okay.

Yon lang at in-end call ko na.

Lumabas ako sa kwarto at kinuha ang car key na nakasabit sa may pinto. Bumalik ako sa sala kung saan naroon ang Ibon.

Nakahilata siya sa sofa na nanonood ng t.v. habang nakapatong sa may tiyan ang bowl ng popcorn.

Keen: Linch--

Tiningnan ko siya. Tingin na nagbabanta. Tingin na nakamamatay.

Linch: Yeah, yeah,  "Linch don't do anything stupid or else I'll cut your head off.'

Panggagaya niya sa boses ko. Yan ang laging sinasabi ko sa kanya. Pero ang ibon hindi naman sumusunod. But this time I'll make it sure na susunod siya.

Keen: It's good to know you know that.

Linch: Paulit-ulit mo ba namang sabihin yan sakin. Di ko pa mamemorize diba?

Keen: Just make it sure na susunod ka.

Linch: Oo na nga. Umalis kana.

Sagot niya na hindi naman nakatingin sakin. Kundi don sa tv. Kaya para makuha ko ang atensyon niya ay----

Boogssss!!!!!

May dagger lang naman na tumama sa may gilid ng noo niya.  

Linch: LECHE!!! ANO BA?! SABI NA NGANG SUSUNOD EH. KELANGAN
