"Oy Ryan, Tara na!" Sigaw ng isang babaeng medyo kulot and buhok na nakasuot ng isang laboratory gown sa taas ng casual na clothes. "Malalate na tayo sa activity sa St. Gabriel Hospital. Swerte mo nga at anak ka ng may-ari 'nun, madali lang sayo ang makapasa"

"Sandali lang Sai! Mom is calling." Ryan told her. "And no, kahit anak pa ako ng may-ari"

"Sigeeee," sagot niya sabay ngiti. "Tell Tita I said Hi."

He nodded at her as he swiped right the screen of his phone to answer his Mom's call. He was a tiny bit concerned because his Mom is working around this time and she usually calls him at night where her shift is over.

He placed the phone over is ear and was about to say hello when his Mom shouted at him catching her breath. "T-there's something wrong with this medicine we're making."

"Mom, calm down." He answered confused.  "Anong pinagsasabi mo? Anong mali sa medicine?"

"They t-tricked me, ginamit lang nila ang pagiging kilala kong chemist s-so that they can distribute these cursed drugs which I thought were made to counter the Hysmine disease."

"W-what do you mean?! What's wrong with them? Why are you panting? May humahabol ba sayo mom?" Sunod na sunond niyang tanong. 

Napakapit sa kanya si Sai, halata sa kanyang mukha ang pagkakabahala. "O-okay lang ba si Tita?" Nauutal niyang tanong.

He shook his head and sighed. 

"They're chasing me. They want me dead for knowing about their plans." She answered. "Tell your father this, the facility is hidden near the mountain Zugspitze in Germany."

"Please Ryan, someone has to stop them. They're planning to destroy most of the people in the pla-" 

BANG!

"MOM!" Ryan yelled, the phone still in his ear. "Was that a gunshot? Mom!"

"Bal...ta...za.r.." His mom uttered before finally giving off her last breath

Tears flowed out from his eyes as he heard trickling of blood from the other end. Sai embraced him in her arms.

Ryan can only hear nothing from the phone call but shuffling and footsteps of someone running and voices of supposedly German guards.

"Mach das handy aus, finde heraus wer angerufen hat! "  A guy in a deep voice said.

"Die haessliche zicke ist tot."  Another guy said followed by screeching of walkie talkies.

"Gut gemacht."

The call dropped and Ryan leaned froward and buried his face on Sai's shoulder and cried.

4 days later.

After hearing Ryan's story while we ate inside the van, we spent the whole afternoon travelling while also fighting off infected that got in our way. It was around four.

Nakwento rin sa amin ni Ryan na black belt siya sa taekwondo kaya meron siyang ideya sa pakikipaglaban. Weird niya lang kasi sinabi niya sa amin na hindi niya gusto na gamitin ang kamay niya sa pakikipaglaban. 

He said something like: "These hands are sacred to me and should only be used for stealing." After that he gave us a wink. This dude is creepy, and he's also pretty hard to read.
