LORELEI
MY GOODNESS! I forgot the stun pen in my bag! Kung kailan ko siya kailangang-kailangan, doon ko pa talaga siya nakalimutan? Hindi ko rin kasi in-expect na may mangyayaring ganito sa gymnasium. If I had known that our lives would be in danger, I would not have taken it out of my skirt pocket.
"Is something wrong?" tanong ni Luthor habang sinusuri ang gulat kong mukha.
"I have a pen capable of tranquilizing anyone who comes in contact with it," paliwanag ko bago bumuntonghininga. "Loki's tech savvy acquaintance developed it. Unfortunately, I forgot it in the clubroom. If I only brought it with me, I could take down one of those men."
"What a shame." Ibinalik niya ang kaniyang tingin sa mga armadong lalaki. Despite the danger, nagawa niyang manatiling kalmado na parang normal na sitwasyon ito. "We have to rely on other methods then."
"Ibigay n'yo sa amin ang mga phone n'yo kung ayaw n'yong masaktan!" utos ng matangkad na lalaki sabay tutok ng baril bilang panakot. Walang angal na sumunod ang mga kasama namin—maging kami ni Luthor—sa pangambang baka isa sa amin ang sunod na barilin.
If Loki and Alistair were here, they could have thought of an ingenious plan to turn the tables. Ngayong wala na kaming gadget para makapag-communicate sa mga taong nasa labas, mahihirapan kaming humingi ng tulong mula sa kanila.
The only way to survive this situation was to let these hostage-takers get what they want . . . or stop them from achieving their objective. The former option would be the safer choice while the latter would be daring.
Wait a minute. May pag-asa pa! Luthor was with me. Loki spoke highly and despicably of his methods when it came to manipulating people and events. Kung magagamit namin ang talino niya, baka mabaligtad namin ang sitwasyon. He's the Luthor Mendez after all.
"Good morning, Mr. Emerson!" masiglang bati ng hostage-taker sa kausap niya sa phone. Hindi inialis ng kaniyang kasama ang mapagbantang tingin sa amin. "Meron kaming surprise para sa 'yo!"
Itinapat niya ang phone sa harap ni Emeraude. The student council was shaking in fear as she spoke in a trembling voice. "P-Papa!"
"Kung kilala mo ang boses na 'yon, alam mo na siguro na hawak namin ang anak mo pati na ang ilang estudyante rito sa Clark High. Huwag kang mag-alala. Wala kaming sasaktan sa kanila basta walang magbibida-bida rito . . . at kung ibibigay mo ang gusto namin."
