Chapter 27

PATRICIA'S POV

Hindi ko alam ang mararamdaman ko ngayon dahil isa sa mga kaibigan ko ay nasa kapahamakan. Wala na akong pakeelam kung makapatay man kami basta ang mahalaga ligtas ang kaibigan namin.

"Ayos lang kaya si Clint dun?"

"Grae , Clint is brave and she is a tough lady. I'm pretty sure that she will do it. Kung di ka mapakali , you can go back for her. Kami na yung bahala dito."

Umiling si Grae. Tutulungan niya daw kami at alam niyo ba yung salitang handa? Si GRAE yun. May case siya na may lamang mga baril and you know what? It's effin' modernized with his name on it.

"Ano ba kasing pumasok sa utak ng Thompson na yun! For Pete's sake! She's not a fuckin' superhero!"

"Hey! Ashwill! Calm down. We can't blame her. Eventhough she didn't do it , she is still part of this game. I know you know a lot! Don't fool me. You're an Ashwill , it's impossible that you don't know anything. Don't pretend because this is the time to expressed the truth."

Tama siya , for all this time I'm just pretending that I don't know anything. Kung may nakakakilala man sakin ng lubos , it's Grae Kyber Faulkner.

MY FAKED BOYFRIEND. 13 years old ako nun nang ligawan ako ni Kegan pero naiinis pa ko sa kayabangan niya nun. Hindi niya ko tinigilan and a big BANG happened. I just shouted in the crowd that my BOYFRIEND is Grae while clinging on his arms. Sinenyasan ko siyang makiride nun and bilang kabayaran , naging bantay din ako ni Clint sa lahat ng bagay. Actually , I even ride on motor just to follow Clint eventhough I'm scared with a 2 wheeled vehicle. I'm curious about her so I paid for an investigator just to investigate that girl. I'm used to it because it's too happy and challenging. Marami akong nalaman about sa history nila. HISTORY ha? And Grae's smiles and reactions when I'm talking about her is my answer to my question that CLINT IS SOMETHING IMPORTANT.

"Kilala mo nga ako. Malawak yung pinagsamahan natin."

Yeah. He's always by my side and the best reason is CLINT. He's always there kapag may manggugulo sa akin kaya naman payapa ang buong high school ko nung siya ang kasama ko. Nagsasabi siya sa akin pero putol at mas marami pa akong napaimbestiga at nalamang alam niya pero ayaw niyang sabihin sakin. Kahit naman close kayo , you still need a limitations.

"As what I said Pat , You can't fool me."

Ngumiti na lang ako sa kanya habang itinigil niya ang sasakyan sa isang parking space malayo sa isang mansiyon. Sumunod yung iba!

"Get the two guns there. We need to move faster but be sure there's no disturbing noise."

Lumabas kami sa sasakyan. Napansin kong ang mga kasama ko ay handang handa. Si Frezno may dalang bat at baril na nasa likod. Si Francis naman , mga baril katulad ng sa kuya niya. Si Trishia naman may dalang iba't ibang daggers , expert nga pala to sa martial arts. Si Ellaine naman magaling sa mga pagkakalikot ng mga kung ano-ano. Si Ace naman ang taga plano. Well done! at ako? Siyempre , hindi lang kaartehan ang alam ko. I'm beautiful but I'm deadly. I'm a trained gangster.

"It is better to meet danger than to wait for it."

Grae said. I smiled at him , I knew where he got those words. It's from Charles Caleb Colton. It's right. It's better to face it now than to wait for it's effect.

"I know right. Let's face it no matter what. Let's do it as a team."

And the GREAT PLANNER *Ace Griffith Thompson* plays his role at kaming alalay ang gagalaw. It's now or never. For our friend , nothing can break our decisions , no one can ever be a hindrance to save Chantelle.

"You cannot catch a cub without going into the tiger's den."

Bulong ko sa aking sarili at saka kami gumalaw ayon sa plano. Inaamin ko kinakabahan ako. Parang may mangyayaring ayaw kong mangyari.

"We will face the lurking beast."

KENZO'S POV

We're heading to a place in the middle of nowhere. It's in the middle of the forest that you don't want to see. It's creepy and dark. Well , I'm not afraid because as long as I knew I grew up in a place like this.

"Malayo pa ba tayo? We need to be there para makatulong!"

"Rexin , it's not that I'm not willing to help but seriously we don't need to move because I know that they can do it. See? We had a big catch here! A moron with the rules of a stupid asshole!"

Glyrel laughed. Let me guess , sumasangayon siya sa sinabi ko. She's my bestfriend. Remember? We're not going to be closed liked this if we don't have the same traits. Easy as that.

"Sa ngayon , we are generally either near or far from danger. Hahahaha."

Tumawa naman si Glyrel sa sinabi niya. Sa sitwasyong ganito , madaling tumawa pero mahirap itago ang kaba. I can see it in her eyes and I feel it too.

"De --delikado tong gagawin niyo! Hindi-----"

"Dustin , I know you're intelligent but I don't know that sometimes a person like you can be so stupid. I can say that I would be a jackass rather than playing stupidity without knowing all the details. So better shut your fuckin' mouth!"

At nagdrive na ng mas mabilis. I knew I'm heading to a right place. Nadetect ko lang naman ang mga kaibigan ko using their phones.

"And one last thing , Everything is dangerous , my dear fellow Dustin. If it wasn't so , life wouldn't be worth living."

And we flashed a smile. A smile of winning. A smile of victory. Ops! Let me rephrase it!

Ngumiti kami ng pang-asar!
