As I work, the scene that I just witnessed kept on bugging me as I finish the spreadsheet that Nathan wants me to finish, who was that guy para sumigaw siya?
"Are you trying to kill me?!"
Her words kept echoing in my head every minute kaya napasapo ako ng noo dahil nagsisimula ng sumakit ang ulo ko, I don't know the woman but siya yung police officer na masungit sa beach nung nag-bakasyon kaming magkakaibigan.
Damn my curiosity!
Napabuntong hininga ako, this is only the first day, paano na lang kaya sa mga susunod na araw? Dahil sa sobrang frustration kinuha ko ang cellphone but then stopped when I saw the text message I recieved earlier.
From: Unknown Number
The Blazing Inferno will happen. Just wait..
The blazing inferno? What does it mean? Whatever it means, its giving me a bad feeling. I pushed the thought aside and dialed a familiar number and with five rings he answered
"This is Dale Gonzaga speaking.." sabi niya kaya nagpakawala ako ng hininga "Inspector do you still remember the police officer your with sa kaso ng mag-asawang Rodriguez?" tanong ko amd there was a long pause kaya kumunot ang noo ko, tiningnan ko ang cellphone para tingnan kung binabaan na ba niya ako ng tawag but the call was still on going kaya dinikit ko ulit ang cellphone sa tenga ko
"Hello Inspector Gonzaga? Are you still there?" tanong ko ng biglang tumikhim si Inspector sa kabilang linya "A-Agatha? Sorry, nagulat lang ako. This is your first time calling me" sabi niya kaya kumunot ang noo ko
"This is my first time? I swear that I already called you before" or not? "I'm so sorry, what was your question?" tanong niya kaya umayos ako ng upo "Remember the case at the beach? Yung mag-asawang Rodriguez?" tanong ko
"The homicide victims?" tanong niya kaya tumango ako kahit niya ako nakikita "Yes. Those two, can you tell me the name of the officer na kasama mo?" tanong ko
"Which one? Marami akong kasama nun" sabi niya "Yung sinungitan kami ni Gabriel" sabi ko "Oh the girl? Her name is Layla Olive, why do you ask?" tanong niya
"Nothing, thank you Inspector. Bye" sabi ko bago binaba ang tawag and stared at the computer screen kung saan mo makikita ang spreadsheet na ginagawa ko.
Layla Olive, sino ka ba talaga?
Napailing ako at pinagpatuloy ang trabaho ko.
[Hiro's Point of View]
"What is this meeting all about?" tanong ko at umupo at the round table kung saan kami umupo na anim "Tito Fumiya wants to tell us something" sabi ni Lulu
"This should be important, I cancelled an important meeting for this" sabi ni Xi Yin na halata mong iritado "Nakita mo na ba ang lalaking pinapahanap mo sakin?" napalingon ako sa tabi ko ng magsalita si Luigi
"Yes Luigi-hyung" sabi ni Jae "Why did you even find him?" tanong ni Luigi "Tito Fumiya ordered me to introduce the game Bounty to him" sabi ni Jae
"Tito Fumiya's game?" tanong ni Luigi kaya tumango si Jae-Hyun "He must be plannig something to order such thing" sabi ko kaya napalingon sila sakin
"He's right. Tito Fumiya even told me to have some fun" sabi niya at ngumisi kaya napailing ako sa tinutukoy niyang 'fun' because for Jae-Hyun fun is about threatening someone and I bet that he did that to the man. Poor guy.
Jae-Hyun loves having fun with his enemies kaya nakakatakot yan galitin kasi if he kills, he'll kill you slowly to let you feel every inch of pain. Napatigil ang paguusap namin ng biglang bumukas ang pinto
"Sorry to call you all so sudden but I have to tell you something" sabi ni Dad "What is it Tito Fumiya?" tanong ni Xi
"Journalists Club is already in Bounty and is currently being hunted by Bounty hunters, Jae-Hyun you already got the package, right?" sabi niya at tumingin kay Jae-Hyun
"Yes tito, and I'm already sending it to all of our paid assassins" sabi niya making me suddenly feel uneasy "Good. Now, I want all of you to befriend the Journalists Club or Agatha Ward to be exact, like what Hiro did" sabi niya at tumingin sakin kaya umiwas ako ng tingin
"Let's see if she'll win this time" sabi niya with a smirk on his lips and then and there, I know that he's planning something terrible.
[Agatha's Point of View]
Bumagsak ako sa swivel chair sa harap ng study table ko at pagod na hinubad ang three inch heels ko, paano na lang kaya kung magsuot ako ng killer heels? It will be the end of me.
Hinilot ko ang paa ko na kumikirot dahil sa magdamag na kakatayo para gawin ang trabaho ko sa opisina, its already 9'o clock pero kakauwi lang namin ni Nathan, hindi ko na din nakausap si Shantal dahil sabi ng katulong tulog na daw
"This is hard work" sabi ko at hinawakan ang leeg ko before stretching and suddenly I fell silent, ganito ba ang pakiramdam kapag may trabaho?
Damn, hindi ako magtatagal ng dalawang araw sa opisina. With tired feet, I tiredly walked to the bed and let my body fell.
Now this is heaven. Hanggang sa hindi ko na namalayan na unti-unti na akong nakatulog.
"Natatakot po ako" sabi ko "Don't be. Were here" sabi niya at pinahid ang luha ko "Pero Tita, what if mangyari sa inyo ang nangyari kina mommy?" sabi ko kaya umiling sila
"We'll be okay dear" sabi niya at niyakap ako "Your already going bankrupt because of me" sabi ko "Its our problem to fix so mag-aral ka lang ng mabuti sapat na yun samin" sabi niya as she caressed my hair
"Should I work part-time? I'm fourteen but I already look like eighteen kaya wala naman makakahalata" sabi ko "You don't have to do that, kami na ang bahala ng Tito mo" sabi niya kaya napailing ako
"Pero-" aangal pa sana ako ng umiling siya "Walang ng pero-pero. Our decision is final" sabi niya kaya wala na akong masabi.
