We spent the past few days making a plan on how we can find their Rook. Isinama nila ako sa pagpaplano nila. I was also sitting with them in the living room. Nakapaikot ang mga sofa at may coffee table sa gitna. It was designed that way dahil doon sa parteng iyon daw talaga sila madalas na nagmi-meeting.
And I was able to witness their teamwork. Pinakikinggan nila ang opinyon ng bawat isa. And they are applying their ideas to make a better plan. Everyone's opinion is important. Kahit na ang sakin.
"Alter will go back to their hideout and act like she escaped on her own." L said.
Si Kier lang ang wala sa grupo habang nagmi-meeting kami. They said that he's guarding my father. Kahapon daw kasi ay si Viper ang nagbantay kay Papa.
And Archer is complaining everytime. Kapag kasi wala sa hideout si Kier ay nagpapa-deliver kami ng pagkain. Kier is the official cook of EL Ordre. Masarap kasi talaga ang mga luto nya kaya talagang nagrereklamo si Archer kalag wala sya.
But it can't be help. Isa sya sa mga nagbabantay kay Papa.
I suddenly miss my father. Gusto ko na syang makita. Alam ko naman na hindi sya mag-aalala sa akin. L told my father that we're going on a vacation bilang celebration sa pagsisimula ng relasyon namin. Ang sabi nya ay nagtatampo daw si Papa dahil hindi man lang ako nagpaalam sa kanya. But it's okay with him. Boto kasi talaga sya kay L.
"Paano tayo nakasisiguro na hindi nya tayo ilalaglag?" Viper asked.
I understand him. Hindi nila ako kakampi. I am from their enemy's group. At naiintindihan ko kung karamihan sa kanila ay hindi magtitiwala sa akin.
I wanted to defend myself. I want to give them an assurance that they can trust me. That I'll do what is right this time. That I will really help them. Pero hindi ako makahanap ng mga salita. Hindi ko alam kung anong sasabihin ko. So I choose to remain silent.
Fourth chuckled. "Just believe in the power of conscience, Viper."
Naniniwala talaga sya na hindi ko sila ilalaglag dahil inuusig ako ng konsensya ko. Naniniwala pa sila na may konsensya pa ako kahit napakarami ko nang kasalanan na nagawa.
"What if the Queen got suspicious?" Archer asked. "Ang dami natin pero natakasan nya tayo?"
"Oh, the Queen will believe her." sabi ni Fourth na parang kilala nya ang Queen dahil siguradong-sigurado sya. "Alter is their best tracker. She can even surpassed L's and Tracer's hacking skills. So it's possible."
"The Queen will surely ask me where your hideout is," I said. Alam kong hindi palalagpasin ng Queen ang impormasyon na iyon. Lalo pa at may kinalaman na sa King ng EL Ordre.
"Just tell her the truth. Tell her where our hideout is."
I frowned. Ayoko. For sure na gagawa agad ng plano ang Queen para makita nya ang King ng EL Ordre para patayin. She wanted to meet him for so long. This information is an advantage is like a gift from.the devil for her.
Fourth made a small smile dahil sa reaksiyon ng mukha ko. My lips parted. Nakita ko na rin ang totoong ngiti nya. Ngiting hindi mapagpanggap.
"Leave this to us, Alter. Focus on what you have to do. You don't need to worry about us."
Namula ang mukha ko sa pagkapahiya. I can't believe that I got worried for them. Nag-alala ako para sa kalaban! I got worried for the people whom I treated as my enemies for so long.
Naalala ko ang mga salitang ibinato ko kay Yucca noon. Shit lang! Now I'm in her shoes! Ako naman ngayon ang magiging traydor!
"When you get access to your computers, help Tracer and L to go in your system. Work together until you find Shielder."
