The Nightwatch

BLACK CODE'S ORGANIZATION

Chapter 7.

Umupo ako sa couch na nasa tapat ng desk na kinalalagyan ni Wendy. Beverly stand beside my chair despite of another chair infront of us empty.

"Have you sleep well?" I stared at her directly feeling so insulted. How can she asked a question like that?

"Anyway pinatawag kita dito to officially declare you as one of us" she's holding a pen that she continuously tapping against the wooden desk that creates an irritating sound.

"What do you mean by 'us'? Ano ba kayo?"

She rise from the swivel chair and started to roam around.
"I believe I had mention to you about the Black Code. We are an organization not too known with civilian people like you. Sa amin nanggagaling halos lahat ng mahuhusay na agents"

"Anong kinalaman nyo sa pagkamatay ng pamilya ko?" napalingon sya sakin na tila nabigla sa tanong ko.
"If you're thinking kasabwat kami sa nangyari sa family mo, I strongly oppose that. The Mercenaries were the one who did that to your family and we, Black Code, are their greatest enemy. Our organization was built to oppose their immorality."

"Then what could you do to help me? Are you gonna bring back my family and my friend's life?"

I swear I wasn't been this rude all my life. The woman infront me doesn't even get pissed.

"It would be such an honor if our organization could do that. But we can't. We are just here to help you get Justice for we are also seeking for justice all our life."

For a brief moment I heard doleful and rage in her voice that seems like she's been holding a grudge for a long time.

"Nasaan na ang relo na hinahanap ng mga Mercenaries?" I couldn't help but asked since I can't even remember where that thing went.

"Under investigation na sya and since the last two nights they've been finding out how to open it. The nightwatch has a code only the head of Mercenaries know"

"Then why not just destroy to open it?" napailing so Wendy sa tanong ko.

"That nightwatch was built adroitly that if someone tried to open it forcefully, it'll explode and turn into ashes." mas lalo akong nanggagalaiti kung paano napakatalino ng mga taong may gawa nun subalit ginagamit nila sa kasamaan.

"Is there any way you could open it?"

"It's not for you to worry anymore.  There's more to life compared to what you know. At isa pa, you need to do a lot of things."

Sa sinabi nyang iyon ay biglang sumagi sa isipan ko ang bangkay ng pamilya ko at ni Alison pati na rin ng lola nya.

"If you're gonna open the television or  even see the media, your family as well as your friend and her grandmother's death are all over the news. May nakapag report sa police ng gunshots nung gabing iyon at natuklasan nila ang nangyari."

I am not sure what to feel or how to react.
"The investigation about it has been going on and for the past nights you are now declared as a missing person. And we shouldn't do anything about it"

Napakunot ang noo ko sa sinabi nya. The police are now running an investigation and they could even be more trustworthy than this woman and her organization.

"I know what you're thinking. But the way police investigates are way different than ours. Alam kong iniisip mo bakit hindi nalang natin ipaubaya sa pulis ang pag iimbestiga at kung bakit hindi na lang natin sabihin sakanila ang tunay na nangyare?"

Wendy now sit back to her swivel chair and face me.

"The thing is we don't still have that much proof that even before the police finds it out, The Mercenaries have something to do to mess things up. So better off leave the police the way they want to investigate your family's case."
