(Vilton Series #2) Ang babae sa manokan

Part 10

What just happened?

I couldn't move.

My head hurts. Ginaprocess pa nako ang nahitabo.

I almost hit myself in a car that was fast approaching on my direction. The road was quiet, pero nganong patagbo man siya sa akoa nga opposite direction man unta mi?

So dali nakong giliko akong sakyanan sa kilid sa dalan ug gitumban ang break. With the sudden action, I hit my head on the steering wheel. And now, I'm feeling a warm viscous liquid streaming on my temple.

It's Christmas Eve, and I almost died!

The vehicle that I almost collided with, also stopped in the middle of the road.

It's a black van. And from it, three  men came out and is heading towards me.

I rolled my window down to ask for help.

"Abrihi ang likod, tan awa ug naay kauban," I heard one of them saying to the other.

I'm too weak to even talk maong I tried expressing it through my eyes. Ang pinakadako sa ilaha ang niduol sa akoa ug giabrihan ang purtahan sa akong side, and carried me to their van.

Even though I really needed help, pagkarealize nako nga puro sila lalaki and they're driving a black van, something's not really right.

"I— can handle. Just.. put me down," I said while trying to get myself out of his bulky and sweaty arms.

"Ayaw kog labda miss ug di ka gusto ma samutan ng nakuha nimo nga samad ron," ana pa siya nga nakapahilom ug nakapapuyo dayon sa akoa. He said it in a voice nga anytime he could crush me with his huge hands.

Who are these men? What do they want from me?

I passed out igo pag butang niya sa akoa sa sulod sa van.

______

Where am I? How long was I unconscious? Where are they taking me?

I wanted to fully open my eyes pero igo lang jud nako nakita ang city lights and lights from tall buildings sa bintana sa sakyanan.

I scanned the vehicle.

There are about five men in the car. The driver, a man in the shotgun seat and three men in front of me. They were all talking pero di nako ma klaro ilang mga gipang ingon.

I tried moving but my hands are tied. Even my mouth is already sealed with a tape.

A moment later, nabantayan nako nga ni ngitngit na ang palibot. We're heading to somewhere dark and isolated. Grabi na ang palpitation sa akong heart.

This might be my end.

What are they planning to do with me? Will they rape me? Torture me? Do they need money? Pwede pa namo ni storyahan.

The vehicle stopped in front of an abandoned warehouse. The place is dark and napalibutan ra ug tag-as nga sagbot. Walay balay makita. Naa mi nalabyan ganina pero layo na kaayo.

I wonder if they would kill me, would my family find my body?

This place is very secluded.

And I am already scared for my life!

"Inaug na na siya. Naa na si boss gahulat," ana pa tong lalaki nga ga aswat nako ganina. Ang pinakadako sa ilaa. I'm guessing he's the leader of them.

One of the three men nga naa sa akoang atubangan kay nilingi sa akoa.

"Oy, mata naman diay si gwapa," he said and grinned widely showing his yellow set of teeth which reminded me of Tito Patrick.

The two other men looked at me and then stared to my body maliciously.
