Breaking The Code: Bounty Hunter (Carnations Series #3)

♠166♣

[Agatha's Point of View]

I thought bawal pumasok ang mga outsiders? Did he surpassed the guards? O baka.. isa siya sa mga estudyante?

"Just call me when you need help" rinig kong sabi ni Inspector Gonzaga na tinanguan ni Nathan kaya linibot ko ang buong feild at nakita na konti na lang ang tao dahil pinadala sa gymnasium para pagusapan ang nangyari habang pinaiwan kaming anim dito when someone suddenly held my arm.

Awtomatikong napalingon ako sa kanya and saw a terrified Reena.

"Ms. Reena? Ano pong ginagawa niyo dito?" mahina kong bulong kaya mas naging mahigpit ang pagkakahawak niya and I could see fear and worry in her eyes making me worry

"Ms. Reena is something wrong?" nagaalalang tanong ko when she held both of my arms "They know where I am" sabi niya at pinanlakihan pa ako ng mata kaya napaawang ang bibig ko.

They already know?

"Ms. Reena calm down" pagpapakalma ko sa kanya but she only shook her head and I felt something in my hand

"Don't let them know that Maxwell is with me" sabi niya na may pagmamakaawa sa boses at kasing bilis ng kidlat ang pangyayari when we heard a shotgun sabay ng pagbagsak ni Reena Echaves sa katawan ko.

My head automatically turned to the third floor window where a man was standing and was pointing a sniper towards our direction and when our eyes met he immediately ranz

"Habulin niyo siya!" rinig kong sigaw ni Inspector kaya napatingin ako kay Ms. Reena and I could feel a liquid soaking my apron.

I was about to shake her when I suddenly saw red and felt like my head was being shaken kaya napasapo ako ng noo at napailing then biglang nawala ang pagkahilo ko and touched Ms. Reena's back to help her get up but I felt like a liquid was soaking both of my hands kaya bigla akong naalerto.

"Ms. Reena? Ms. Reena!" pagtawag ko sa kanya "Kami na 'pong bahala ma'am" sabi ng isang medic bago hinila si Ms. Reena sa isang ambulansya kaya napatingin ako sa mga kamay ko na puno ng dugo and my eyes landed to the object Ms. Reena gave me.

Napaawang ang labi ko sa gulat lalo na nung makita ko ang Ace of Spades na card gaya ng binigay sakin ng lalaki, nakatanggap ng ganito si Ms. Reena?

Then my eyes traveled to the paper she gave me kaya binuksan ko yun.

Valentine Cruz

Napaawang ang labi ko sa gulat, anong kinalaman ng babaeng yun? "Are you okay?" tanong ni Gabriel kaya awtomatikong tinago ko ang papel as my eyes landed on Nathan

"Alam na nila, they gave this to Ms. Reena" sabi ko at binigay sa kanya ang Ace of Spades "Their starting the hunt" sabi niya

"What are we going to do?" tanong ni Trinity "Ms. Reena said na wag nating hayaan na malaman din nila na kasama niya si President Maxwell" paliwanag ko

"Nathan!" napalingon kami sa sumigaw at nakita si President Maxwell na kalalabas lang sa isang itim na kotse

"What the hell happened? Tinawagan ako ng Guidance Councilor saying that a student was shot at habang nasa kotse tumawag naman ang Winston's Private Hospital telling me that Ms. Alfonso was shot" sabi niya na ang tinutukoy si Ms. Reena

"May bumaril 'pong lalaki sa isang estudyante then Ms. Reena suddenly went running towards me saying that they already know" sabi ko at parang nanghihina siyang napakapit sa balikat ni Nathan

"They already know?" paguulit niya habang nakatulala then suddenly he fixed his posture "I need to go to her.." sabi niya at akmang tatakbo na ng hawakan siya sa braso ni Nathan

"You can't for now President Maxwell" sabi niya kaya sinamaan siya ng tingin ni President

"What are you talking about?" may bakas ng inis sa boses niya at akmang tatakbo ng hawakan siya ni Drake sa kabilang braso then they stared at each other for a minute na parang wala silang balak magpaliwanag kaya ako na mismo ang humarap kay President

"President Maxwell, binilin ni Ms. Reena sakin na 'wag daw kayo idadamay and I agree with her. Now that they know Ms. Reena's alive they are surely going to hunt after the one that helped her and it's better if you don't go to her.." I trailed off at tiningnan ang damit niya

"Well, not on that attire" sabi ko at mukhang kumalma naman siya "Mr. Choi is calming the students right now" sabi ni Drake "Mukhang may galit ang killer sa biktima" sabi ni Gabriel kaya napalingon kami sa kanya

"I saw how the guy pointed the gun and I could see fury in his eyes at direkta sa puso ang baril where you can die in an instant" sabi niya

"I need to fix this.." sabi ni President at napasapo ng noo bago siya bitawan ng dalawa "You should do that, its time to do a President's job" sabi ni Nathan at hinampas pa ang likod ni President Maxwell

"Let's talk when we finish what we have to do" sabi niya bago umalis patungong direksyon ng gymnasium

"Agatha you need to change" sabi ni Trinity habang nakatingin sa damit ko na napahiran ng dugo ni Ms. Reena kaya hindi ko mapigilan na magalala

"Will she be alright?" tanong ko "She will, if she survived what happened fourty-four years ago then she'll survive this" sabi ni Nathan kaya napatango na lang ako

"You need to change Agatha" sabi ni Gabriel "Before the students arrive" sabi niya at hinila ako.

I was still shocked when we went to the Clubroom, parang masyadong mabilis ng pangyayari..

Too fast to be exact.

Nakapagpalit na kami lahat ng damit at hindi na nagabala pang pakinggan ang announcement sa gym "And I thought all of this is over" sabi ni Gabriel habang umiiling

"One dead and one injured in one day, would you look at that.." sabi ni Trinity habang umiiling but my mind drifted off to Valentine Cruz.

Ano ba ang kinalaman mo sa lahat na 'to? How did Ms. Reena know you?

My mind was full of questions about Valentine Cruz and how did she know about any of this at ano ang kinalaman niya dito giving me a massive head ache.

The questions from the past are now answered but right now I have new ones.

A/N: I was thinking of making a new book after this series and it tells the story of the past and I'm thinking of naming it 'Unforgettable Sins' and putting it on Amethyst's Point of View. Your like getting a ride to memory lane and how the story was told, so what do you think?
