[Agatha's Point of View]
Inakyat ko ang hagdan patungo sa tulay na gawa sa salamin na kailangan ko pang daanan para makaabot sa teresa at sa waterfalls.
While I was walking, I was also silently praying na makalabas kami ng ligtas at buhay and so that Nathan will be safe.
I was halfway on stepping the bridge ng biglang may tumawag sakin "Ms. Ward?" napatigil ako sa paglalakad at naistatwa sa pwesto ko.
Umubo ako bago liningon ang tumawag and saw a man with the same outfit as the man who gave me the card, kasama ang isa pang lalaki with the same outfit pero ngayon ay nakamaskara sila while holding a HK gun.
Napa-abante ako at akmang tatakbo na ng paulanan nila ako ng bala kaya agad akong tumakbo sabay ng paghabol nila sakin.
"Hindi ka makakatakbo samin Ms. Ward" sabi ng isa sa mga lalaki at bumaril malapit sa paa ko para tumigil ako sa pagtakbo
"Makukuha namin ang three hundred million Ms. Ward at walang makakapigil samin" sabi ng lalaking kasama niya at kahit nakamaskara ay alam kong nakangisi siya and with long breathes linibot ko ang paningin.
Finding something useful for me to escape and my eyes stopped to a tree at rinig ko na malapit na siyang matumba kaya nginisian ko ang dalawa.
"But perhaps this is not the perfect time to catch me" sabi ko sabay ng pagbagsak ng puno pagitan namin at rinig ko ang mga mura nila kaya I took the chance to escape while removing my blazer and folded my sleeves up to my elbow.
Thank you god for listening to my prayers!
[Third Person's Point of View]
Nathan was checking the tablet malapit sa elevator that tells the functions and every floor of the building while removing his blazer and tie while unbuttoning two buttons of his shirt and folding his sleeves up to his elbows.
He was finding out why the automatic system was not working but something was blocking him from seeing the company building settings.
He stopped when he heard footsteps at agad tumakbo patungong hagdan kung saan ang daanan papuntang rooftop and was halfway there ng biglang may sumulpot na lalaking naka-jacket at maskara kaya dali-dali siyang bumaba and was welcomed by two men wearing the same outfit.
"Your cornered Mr. Isle" sabi ng lalaki kaya napatingin si Nathan sa magkabilang daanan sa gilid niya.
The one to the terrace and one to the company's penthouse that only the Isles can open so he chose the best option and ran to the other side where the company's penthouse was kaya mabilis siyang hinabol ng tatlong lalaki at rinig pa niya ang pagpuputok nila ng baril pero lumalagpas lang sa kanya ang bala then he saw the doubled doors papuntang penthouse kaya mas binilisan niya ang takbo and pressed his hand on the tablet beside the door that scanned his hand kaya bumukas ang pinto kaya dali-dali siyang pumasok at sinara ang pinto.
He could hear them banging on the door at pinapaputukan pa ng bala but the door was bullet proof kaya malalalim na hininga ang ginawa niya sa sobrang pagod.
Someone copied the security software ng kompanya at sa hula niya ay ang ginagamit nito ay laptop, computer o tablet at malapit lang sa building dahil may radar na ginagamit ang software na tanging kung malapit ka lang sa kompanya mo maa-access but he'll be safe here - for now.
Habang sa kabilang banda, ilang oras ng naghihintay si Agatha sa waterfalls at nagsisimula ng magalala dahil ang tagal bumalik ni Nathan so she thought the best thing to do.
Umalis siya sa waterfalls at nagtungong rooftop when she heard whispers and shouts na nagsasabing:
"Lumabas ka na diyan Mr. Isle" sabi ng tinig ng lalaki at sa pinanggalingan ng boses ay alam niyang nasa penthouse ito.
'Don ba nagtatago si Nathan?
Pinagpatuloy niya ang pagtaas ng rooftop and thought of something to do when she saw a rope na matibay kaya tinali niya 'to sa isang semento at tinali ang dulo nito sa bewang niya.
She then positioned at the edge habang nakahawak sa railings habang malalalim ang hininga niya and when she looks down ay parang gusto niyang bumalik sa dating position pero nanigas siya sa kinatatayuan at lumunok.
God, this is for Nathan!
She held the rope and jumped and landed on the mirror at ginawa niya yun ng paulit-ulit hanggang sa makapantay niya ang salamin ng penthouse then she started jumping until the mirror broke and she landed on the floor.
She groaned when she felt pain on her elbows, stomach, and feet "Agatha?" umangat ang tingin niya at nakita si Nathan sa harap niya at nakaluhod ang isang tuhod
"Why did you do that? Magpapakamatay ka ba?" tanong nito at inalayan siyang tumayo "Sorry, nagalala kasi ako nung marinig ko ang mga boses sa labas ng penthouse" she was breathing hard nung sabihin niya 'yon
"I told you to wait for me" sabi niya habang magkasalubong ang kilay kaya kumunot ang noo niya habang inaalis ang tali sa bewang niya
"What do you want me to do? Hinabol ako ng dalawang lalaki. I'm lucky na nakatakas ako at nag-hintay na ako ng isang oras but you didn't come back kaya nagalala na ako. Do you want me to wait and get killed?" balik na tanong nito at napangiwi ng maramdaman ang kirot sa paa niya at nagulat pa siya 'nong lumuhod si Nathan
"Hubarin mo na 'to. Nagsisimula ng mamaga ang paa mo" sabi niya at hinubad ang two inch heels niya kaya tumango na lang siya
"Magpapaa ako? Ang init" sabi ni Agatha when she remembered about the fire kaya tumayo si Nathan at may kinuhang tsinelas sa cabinet at pinasuot sa kanya
"Paano na tayo makakaalis?" nagaalalang tanong niya "We need to get down at humanap ng ibang way para makalabas" sabi ni Nathan
"But how? May nakabantay sa pinto" nagtatakang sabi niya kaya tumingin si Nathan sa bintana and she knew what he was thinking kaya napalunok siya sa kaba.
I'm dead.
