CHAPTER 7

Nakanguso lang ako habang nakaupo dito sa gilid. Fvck my trainer. Nakakainis! He's completely not a trainer material. He has a very short temper!

At ang hinayupak, ang tamad-tamad pa! Magsasalita lang naman siya, eh!

"Anong eksena 'to?" Napalingon naman kami kay Kev na kakapasok lang, "LQ kayo?"

"Shut up and get the hell out, you piece of shit," Fourth hissed.

"May dalaw ka, 'tol? Sungit mo, ah," Kev laughed.

"What do you need?" Inis na sabi ni Fourth.

"Ikaw," sabi ni Kev saka ngumuso, "Ikaw ang kailangan ko, mahal," he said.

"Tangina mo, gago."

"Aray, di mo na 'ko mahal, bebe ko?"

Natatawa na ako pero sinusubukan kong pigilan. Baka ako na naman ang mapagbuntunan ng isa diyan pag tumawa ako.

"Get out, you motherfvcker," sabi ni Fourth sabay tapon ng plastic bottle na may laman pa kay Kev.

"Luh, gago, inano ko siya?" Inosenteng tanong ni Kev, "Di ko ginalaw nanay mo, ah."

Napatawa na talaga ako sa sinabi niya kaya sinamaan ako ng tingin ni Fourth.

"Get the fvck out, you shit."

Tumawa lang si Kev saka naglakad na palayo, "Bye, mahal! Labyu!"

"Fvck you!"

"Gusto mo? Tara, dito, oh."

"Get the fvck lost!"

Napatigil ako sa pagtawa nang samaan ako ng tingin ni Fourth. Sabi ko nga, tatahimik na 'ko.

"Stand up," he seriously said.

"Why do I even need to learn all of these? It's not like I'm going to use them or something," sabi ko, nakatingin sa mga baril sa harapan ko.

"Well, in case of emergency and you don't have anyone to protect you," he said.

"Okay," I said and he started explaining again. Halos wala akong naintindihan sa mga sinabi niya pero may iba namang naiintindihan ko na. I researched about guns and it somehow helped me to keep up.

"Next, the rifles---"

"Fourth," napalingon kami kay Brenna na kakapasok lang, "Come on, we have a new assignment," then she walked out.

Tiningnan niya 'ko bago walang pasabing umalis.

Walangya. Tsk.

Napailing na lang ako bago sumunod.

"Okay, team," napatingin kami kay Wayne na siyang team manager, "We have a new case. Abduction of women."

Abduction? Then what?

"In this case, women are abducted," Wayne started, "There's already four victims of this abduction," sabi niya. "The first victim, Mina Teñoso, 21 years old, a college student, she was abducted 3 weeks ago. She went missing for 6 days until her body was found in a dump site," saka kami tumingin sa monitor at nakita ko dun ang isang larawan ng babaeng halos hindi na makilala.

Her body is full of bruises and cuts. Her hair was a mess. There's also marks visible on her skin. It looks like she was chained or something. She was almost naked. And I saw an 'X' mark on her back. It looks like the culprit used a knife to write that on her back.

Oh, god... What is this?

"The second victim," Wayne continued, "Arriane Morris, 23 years old, she went missing 2 weeks ago. She also went missing for 6 days until her body was found lying beside a trash can," and then another photo showed up. It was a woman, dead, almost same with the first one, the only difference is that the 'X' mark was on the left corner of her chest.
