Shed A Bullet For You

CHAPTER 2

JC’S POV

Minutes passed but their fight hasn’t stopped yet. Kicks, punch are thrown everywhere, they are now in a hand to hand combat. The guy he’s fighting is quite stupid. He had a gun but he didn’t use and now he looks he’s having a hard time beating Christine. Tsk, pathetic, he has the guts to barge in my room with already knowing I am inside together with my guardian.

I must admit, Christine is a good fighter, an excellent one to be frank. Well that isn’t surprising, this is her job, she is required to master every skill possible especially in handling weapons, both in long and short range. She’s about my age and from what I heard, starting from she was a child, she practiced and practiced that’s why she was assigned to be my guardian.

I am still bewildered and full of questions, I’m not saying that she doesn’t fit this job, she is over qualified in terms of skills. But she’s a girl for goodness sake, she’s beautiful, no scratch that, the word beautiful isn’t enough to describe her looks. She looks like a model, with her gorgeous eyes, porcelain skin, natural pinkish lips and her beautiful smile. That smile of her that can catch any man’s heart and I think she already caught mine.

What am I thinking? I should stop fantasizing over her. My girl is in the middle of a fight. She’s taking too long. That guy is fighting with my girl and it’s like he’s wishing for his own death, this should be fun.

CHRISTINE’S POV

Sipa dito, sipa doon, suntok dito, suntok everywhere. Hindi ko rin maintindihan ang sarili ko. Kaya ko naman siya talunin kanina pa pero pinapatagal ko pa rin yung laban namin. Ang baliw din naman niya kasi may hawak na nga siyang baril kanina pero hindi niya pa ginamit tapos ngayon halatang nahihirapan na siya. Wala lang, trip ko lang siya pagurin para madali kong makuha ang gusto ko.

Im getting exhausted but I didn’t let him see that. Babs 5 also looked like he’s exhausted that’s why I think it’s time to finish this battle. I made a punch kick that made him fall down.

(A/N: a punch kick is a striking blow with the fist)

Halatang nasaktan siya sa ginawa ko sakanya. Sino ba naman ang hindi? Anyone would be hurt if you received a punch kick from a triumvirato. I felt a pang of pity on my chest that’s why I spoke.

“Alam mo babs 5, papayagan pa kitang mabuhay.” Napatingin naman siya sakin at halatang natuwa siya sa sinabi ko.

“Don’t be too happy yet. Hindi kita papatayin pero sa isang kondisyon.” Tumango naman siya sa sinabi ko. Bahagya akong napangiti pero kalauna’y nabura ito.

“Sinong nagpadala sainyo?” tanong ko sakaniya gamit ang mahinahon na boses. Lumipas ang ilang segundo pero hindi pa rin siya nagsasalita.

“I going to repeat my question for the last time babs 5, who ordered you to ambush this house?” tanong kong muli pero wala pa rin akong natanggap na sagot.

“I’m losing my patience babs 5, answer this question like your life depends on it because it does.” Tila nawalan siya ng kulay at hindi alam ang gagawin. Nilibot ko ang tingin ko sa kwarto and I saw a M4A1 Carbine lying on the floor. Kinuha ko ito at ipinakita kay babs 5.

“Nice gun babs sayang lang hindi mo ginamit. Now, I’m going to count to 5 and within those 5 counts, you should be able to answer my question and if not, you know what’s going to happen.

“1” I started counting but it looks like he doesn’t have any plan to talk.

“2” drops of sweat are starting to be evident on his face.

“3!” he’s now shivering in fear.

"4!" It looks like he wants to talk but he's afraid.

"5—" I was about to shoot him but I was cut off by his sudden outburst.
