Damage
CROSS

THE MOMENT THE sliding door of the elevator opened at the last floor of Commission's dorm, the face of Stan greeted me already. Hmm... why so?

Dahan-dahang nag-iba ang hilatsya ng mukha niya pagkakita sa itsura ko. I honestly have no idea how horrible I look like right now.

His brows just met out of confusion. Umawang ang bibig niya pero muli iyong sumara. It was like he wants to say something but he change his mind at last minute.

Inignora ko nalang siya saka nilagpasan. Haharang-harang siya sa dadaanan ko---wala naman pala siyang sasabihin. He's wasting my time---

Bago pa ako tuluyang makalayo ay naramdaman ko nang may humila sa kaliwang braso ko. Stan drag me. To my surprise, he opened his dorm and he bring me along with him.

Talagang hindi ako naka-angal sa kanya.

Ni hindi nga niya inisip na may mga pasa ako sa braso kung saan niya ako hinawakan. Hindi naman siya mukhang galit but I can't read his reaction though.

I rolled my eyes when we stop at his living room. Bukas ang mga bintana ng dorm niya that's why I can see the rain pouring at the sky from here. Madilim na madilim na sa labas.

Kumukulog at kumikidlat na rin.

The rain is falling hard. Maaapula nito ang sunog sa labas sa lakas. Nakakapagtaka lang na hindi gumana alin mang mga fire hydrant na meron sa mga estraktura ng St. Death High.

There's a possibility that the intruders pulled some strings para matupok ang mga gusali ng ganoon kadali. And Zad hunt them down only by himself. How can they plan that in short span of time?

Sirang-sira ang gabi ko.

Kung hindi ko nga lang nakumpirma na si King ang pumatay sa bestfriend ko ay lalo akong manlulumo. Mabuti at may na pala ako kahit papaano.

"Take a seat, Nightmare." Stan said formally and I came back to reality. Sinunod ko naman siya dahil wala na akong lakas para makipag argumento.

I just watch him walk towards the cabinet nearby where some of his guns and trophy's from different affair he attend were displayed. He pulled a tiny white pouch there that has red 'plus' shape on it.

It's a medicine kit.

"Where did you get those wounds and bruises? Those look intense." He said as he approached me.

Umupo siya sa harap ko or mas magandang sabihin na lumuhod siya para maging magkalebel kami. He opened the medicine kit and pulled some cotton balls, betadine, alcohol and band aid from it.

"Sa labas." Pagkaraan ay walang ganang sagot ko. He chuckled and then moved closer to my direction. My knees touching his legs.

"It's obvious, Nightmare. But if you don't want to tell, it's okay. Loosen a bit. Were friends, right?" Tumango ako at pinanood nalang siya sa gagawin niya.

I can't believe that he's doing this. Of all people---sa 'kin pa!

Kinuha niya ng alcohol at binuhusan ng kaunti ang piraso ng bulak na kinuha niya. He started to apply that to my wouds and scratches and I silently gazed him.
