Chapter 25: Rose and Thorn

"Pinatay mo si Tina! Muntik mo ng patayin si Selene noon pati ako! At ngayon, marami kang pinatay na bata! Hindi ka ba nakakaramdam man lang ng konsensiya?!"

"Hindi Duri! Hindi ako ang may gawa ng pagsabog sa theme park! Hindi ako!"

"So you are really one of them."

'

Oo Duri! Sumali ako sa the vipers 3 years ago habang kasama niyo ako sa knights."

"Why Hannah? Why did you do that?"

"I was very mad at you when you still choose Tina even she was in a comma. Back then, Marcus saw me and invited me to join his team."

"Hannah, Marcus is a very dangerous person."

"Hindi Duri, he saved me from my depression!"

"Duri."

"H-Hannah."

"Kahit sa huling sandali ko Duri, I will surely destroy you!"

I clenched my fist. If I could bring back the past, If I only bring back the past, sana hindi ko hinayaang mawala si Tina. Sana hindi na lang nangyari ang lahat ng ito.

And Charlie, we saw each other after 2 and half years. I thought that he was really dead, but when I saw him, it haunts me. It really haunts me in a way that I should not let those people kidnapped us. If that did not happen, maybe Charlie will not do what he is doing right now. I don't even know why Charlie had joined Marcus' group.

"Charlie, what will happen if you will betray in your job?"

"I am one of Germany's intelligence analysts since when I was 15 years old because of Dad right? And I know every single detail in their government and the government does know it. Before I entered and accepted this kind of job, I am already at the state of endangered species."

"What do you mean by that Charlie? You're a kind of endangered species, what? Why?"

"I'm one of them, Delta. I'm one of them."

"What do you mean? Please answer me directly!"

"You knew about it."

Yes, you are Charlie. You are one of Marcus' Vipers group. And you are one of those who had killed many lives. Pero bakit Charlie? Bakit ka sumali sa grupo ni Marcus?

You even said that you did not believe his job, but for Pete's sake! You're with him! Bullshit!

Napasipa naman ako sa maliit na vase na nasa gilid ng kama na kinahihigaan ko rito sa clinic ng HQ.

I can't even hear the sound that the vase had given because of anger and betrayal that I felt right now from the one I really trusted before. Sa tingin ko nga parang sinasakal nila akong dalawa habang natutulog ako. And maybe they even stabbed me in their minds when I can't see them.

I thought you are as good as our parents Charlie. I thought you are the hero of this country. I thought you are against terrorism attacks, pero isa ka pala sa kanila. Why Charlie?! Bakit niyo ako sinasaktan ng ganito ni Marcus? It sucks here, tagos na tagos Marcus at Charlie. Especially you Charlie. You are my brother even we are not brothers in blood. You even taught me how to be strong, how to love the country, and how not to hate people pero bakit?! Bwisit talaga eh! Bwisit!
