THE BROKEN SOUL'S PLEA

CHAPTER 35

CHAPTER 35

HUMAHANGOS NA PUMASOK sina Blake at Blaze sa Racini Hotel. Agad silang dumeretso sa basement kung saan ang entrance patungo sa headquarters na nasa ilalim ng hotel.

The elevator on the basement opened.

Blake pushed the top floor button then punched in his seven-digit identification code so the elevator would close and move. Pero sa halip na tumaas 'yon, bumaba ang elevator.

Top floor meant bottom floor in this elevator.

Nagtagis ang mga bagang ni Blake nang maisip si Midnight habang pababa ang elevator. Yes, it was Midnight's choice to tell them but he was the one who pushed him! He felt guilty.

Hindi man masasabing miyembro sila ng organisasyon pero isa pa rin sila sa mga taong nakakaalam na nag-e-exist iyon. Hindi sila kasama sa batas ng organisasyon pero alam nila kung ano ang dapat sabihin sa hindi, dahil may kaparusahan iyon palagi.

And Night... he was punished severely. Because he pushed him.

"Do you think he's okay?" Blaze asked as the elevator moved.

Umiling siya. "I don't know. Knowing the organization, they punished severely. Oo nga at isa sa mga boss si Night pero may mga grupo ang organisasyon na nangangalaga sa ibang bagay at isa na roon ang nagpaparusa sa mga lumalabag sa batas nila."

Blaze blew a loud breath. "Oo nga pala. I was recruited to be part of their Medical Team years ago."

Blake nodded. "Yes. They have Medical Team, Clean-up Crew, The Ultors and the Rectifiers. I was recruited to be part of the Ultors."

"But every boss has a rectifier, a medical team and clean-up crew," sabi ni Blaze, saka bumuga ng marahas na hininga. "But the Ultors... they're just one and damn, they're scary. I'm glad you said no."

Tumango siya. "Ultor is the Latin for 'punisher.' Sila ang may gawa n'on kay Night. Walang sinasanto ang mga 'yon. Kahit sino ka pa, kapag nagkamali ka, matitikman mo kung paano sila magparusa."

Blaze sighed. "Ano'ng mangyayari kay Night ngayon?"

"That's what the meeting is for," sagot niya, saka kumuyom ang kamay. "Ang tanong, ano'ng gagawin ni Knight sa kapatid niya? Knight is one of the ten law makers who made the new law in the organization to keep everyone on leash. Kapag may ginawa siyang hindi akma sa batas nila, mananagot din siya kasama ang pamilya niya."

"Damn... si Midnight ang inaalala ko." Pinagkrus ni Blaze ang braso sa harap ng dibdib nito. "He has no one and if this went bad, his father would disown him."

"We'll work something out," sabi ni Blake na nag-iisip kung ano ang magagawa nila para sa kaibigan. "We'll think of something."

Naputol ang pag-uusap nila ni Blaze nang tumigil ang elevator at bumukas.

Pareho silang napabuntong-hininga bago lumabas at nilapitan ang malapad na touch screen monitor. Pinindot niya ang Search.

Hindi sila tuluyang makakapasok sa loob kung hindi sila dadaan dito. There was another thick door made of hard metal that they have to pass through to get in.

"Searching for?" sabi ng boses na nanggagaling sa monitor na nasa harap nila.

"Midnight Velasquez," sagot ni Blaze.

The voice coming from the monitor replied. "Please punch in your identification code."

Blaze punched in his code.

"I'm sorry," sabi ng boses na nanggagaling sa computer. "You are not authorized to see Mr. Midnight Velasquez."

"Fuck," Blaze hissed.
