Found his Match (AGENT SERIES #8)

Chapter 3

Leigh Karina's POV

"Mommy!"

Napangiti ako at binuhat ang anak ko. I kissed his forehead "How are you, baby?"

"I'm fine, Mommy. Dad made a delivery for us. He will have dinner with us"

Tumango ako at umupo sa couch "Did you finish your assignments?"

"Yes po. Mommy, we have a family day next week Saturday. I wanna come with you and Dad, please?"

Napatitig ako sa anak ko na nagpa-puppy eyes

"Good evening, Leigh"

Napaangat ang tingin ko kay Darwin at binalik ang tingin ko sa anak ko

"Of course, baby but promise me you will be a good boy"

"Yehey!"

Hinalikan nya ako sa labi at tumalon talon "I love you, Mommy! Thank you!"

Napangiti ako at hinawakan ang balikat ng anak ko "Okay, I understand that you're excited. But baby baka madapa ka"

"I'm just excited, Mommy. Thank you" he said and kissed me in the lips again

Habbit nya yun eh. Sana hindi nya gawin sa ibang babae

"Good thing, pinayagan mo sya"

Napatingin ako kay Darwin "Of course. I can't help because he's using his cute eyes with me"

Nginitian ako ni Kazier

"Kain na tayo"

Tumango ako "Let's go, baby"

****

"Ang lakas ng ulan" sabi ko at tinignan si Darwin na nakatingin sa bintana

"Dito magpalipas ng gabi. Malakas pa ang ulan eh" sabi ko at inayos ang higa ni Kaizer

Kinumutan ko sya at binuksan ang heater

Tinignan ko ang oras sa relo ko

"Mommy, can you and Daddy sleep beside me?"

Napatingin ako kay Kaizer "Baby, afraid ka pa ba sa thunder?"

"No, Mommy. I just want you to sleep beside me" inaantok na sabi nya

"Ayos lang kung ayaw----"

Humiga ako sa tabi ni Kaizer at tinignan si Darwin

Humiga sya sa kabilang dulo ng kama at niyakap sya ni Kaizer

"Good night, baby"

"Good night, Mommy and Daddy"

Napabuntong hininga ako at inayos ang kumot

"I know you're not comfortable"

Napatingin ako kay Darwin

"Gusto mo ba sa guest room na ako?"

"No need. Hindi ka pakakawalan ng anak mo. Matulog ka na" sabi ko at pinikit ang mata ko

"Good night, Leigh"

****
-THE NEXT DAY-

"Good morning, Miss Leigh" bati sakin ni Mr. Andromeda

"What do you want?"

"I go straight to the point. We need your help"

Napaangat ang isang kilay ko

"We need a police"

"I already quit"

"Come on, Lieutenant Harrison. We both know that everything in here is your cover"

"Andromeda, I'm done being a Lieutenant. Bakit? Kinakalawang na ba ang mga agents mo kaya humihingi ka ng tulong?"

"Lieutenant Harrison, this is about Darwin"

Sumandal ako sa kinauupuan ko "What about him?"

"He's making a mess....again"

"He's really a mess. Kahit noon pa diba?"

"What I mean is I need you to looked after him" sabi nya na kinakunot ng noo "I know this is hard for you but we really need your help"

"Just inform me if this is a setup or else, be prepare for your downfall"

He handed me a folder "Remember the girl who used to be with him two years ago?"

Napakunot ang noo ko sa sinabi nya at tinignan ang babae sa picture

"Ohh her. She's Alyssa Severino, that bitch. What about her?"

"Her surname doesn't the bell?"

Kumunot ang noo ko at umiling

Lies. Lies. Lies. Leigh

"Go straight to the point, Mr. Andromeda"

"Don't play dumb on me, Mrs. Green"

I rolled my eyes and smirk at him "What do you know about them?"

****

"Paano kung nilamig sya dun? Paano kung umuwi sya mag-isa? Darwin naman alam mo namang tag-ulan na. Paano kung may nangyaring masama sa anak ko?"

"Leigh, anak ko rin sya----"

"That's it! Aren't you afraid of your son's welfare? Kahit pa sabihin mong nakakapagisip na sya ng tama, he's still a kid"

"I'm sorry"

Natigilan ako at nagiwas ng tingin

"Mommy...."

Agad akong napatingin sa taas ng staircase at pinuntahan si Kaizer "Are you hungry?"

Tumango sya at nginitian ako "I'm fine, Mommy. Don't worry about me"

Bumaba na kami at tinignan ko ang magaling nyang ama "Dito ka na magdinner, malakas pa yung ulan. Kapag hindi tumila, dito ka na matulog"

I'm mad at him but I'm not heartless

"Mommy, mad ka parin po?"

Napatingin ako kay Kaizer at inupo sya sa stool "I made you a soup, you want that?"

"Mad ka nga po" sabi nya at kinulong ang mukha ko sa maliliit nyang palad. Hinalikan nya ang buong mukha ko at niyakap ako "I love you, Mommy"

I hugged him tight and kissed his head "Hindi na ako galit"

"Talaga po?"

I hummed yes and let go of him. He smiled at me and looked at his Father

"Daddy, don't be guilty po. Mom is not mad anymore"

Naghanda na ako ng makakain at ramdam ko na may presensya sa likod ko kaya napalingon ako

"I'll help"

Tumango ako at bumalik sa ginagawa ko

"I'm sorry, Leigh"

I rolled my eyes "Tumulong ka na bago ko pa matapos lahat"

*kring kring*

Kinuha ko ang phone ko sa bulsa at sinagot ang tawag

"What's up?"

(Lieutenant, we found something in her case before. I'll send you the pictures and the report)

"Yeah, I'm kinda busy by this moment. Send it to my office tomorrow, we'll talk about that"

(Yes, Lieutenant)

Binaba ko ang tawag at binalik sa bulsa ko ang phone

Tama nga sila, lahat ng tao may tinatago

Nilingon ko si Darwin at agad na binalik ang tingin sa ginagawa

He's a mess kahit noon pa pero I can't believe that he can do those things

Expect the unexpected, ika nga nila. Sana nga mali ang sinabi ni Mr. Andromeda or mali ang makikita ng mata ko. That's better than making such crimes
