LORELEI
"So tell me, Lorelei, what did you and my dear brother talk about this morning?"
I DROPPED the paper bag with the milk tea inside. Dali-dali ko itong pinulot sa sahig at ipinatong sa mesa. I could feel Loki following me with his gaze.
I was caught off guard when he asked me that question. Can I stop the time for a moment and let me think with a believable palusot? I wish I have that power. But I don't.
Kailangan kong mag-isip nang mabilis. Let me take three to four steps back.
Last night, I asked Luthor kung pwede kaming mag-meet nitong umaga para pag-usapan ang tungkol sa notebook. I told him it was very urgent, so he agreed.
Kaninang umaga, habang busy si Loki sa paglalaro ng darts, sinabihan ko siyang makikipag-date ako. I didn't mention any name. At kahit chineck niya ang phone ko habang tulog ako, he wouldn't know kung sino ang ka-meet ko.
Nang makarating na ako sa mall kanina, conscious din ako sa paligid ko. I know that this meeting should be kept in absolute confidentiality. Wala kahit isang estudyante ng Clark High ang dapat makakitang magmi-meet kami ni Luthor.
To make sure na mababa ang chance na may makakita sa amin ni Luthor, I chose the least popular coffee and tea shop sa mall. It's not trendy at hindi rin gano'n ka-appealing sa mga ka-edad ko. They'd rather go to more popular establishments.
When Luthor arrived at our meeting place, he told me that he had asked his dad's bodyguards to secure the perimeter. I don't know what that exactly meant, but I guess pina-check niya muna kung safe ba talagang mag-meet kami roon.
One of his bodyguards, either Hugh or Munroe, stayed in the cafe while Luthor and I were talking. I bet he's been on guard since they got inside. If someone suspicious came in, he would have alerted Luthor as soon as he could.
Nang matapos na ang discussion namin, naunang nagpaalam si Luthor. He left the cafe along with his bodyguard. Ako naman, hindi agad tumayo at umalis. Nagpalipas pa ako ng fifteen minutes bago ko iniwan ang shop.
Habang naglalakad naman ako palabas ng mall, alerto pa rin ako. Pasimple akong nagmamasid sa paligid, baka may sekretong nakasunod sa akin. After all, the M case doesn't end in Clark High. Pwede itong mag-extend sa labas ng campus.
Pagkasakay ko sa binook kong Grab car, ako lang mag-isa ang sumakay roon. Wala ring kahina-hinala sa paligid ko.
Now the question is: How did Loki find out that I met with Luthor?
He's still staring at me, waiting for my answer. Naantala ang pagdidikit niya sa pader ng fake layout ni Hershey. He wanted to know kung ano ang pinag-usapan namin ni Luthor. Kung sanang normal na chikahan lang ang ginawa namin ng kuya niya, I wouldn't think twice of telling him.
