Chasing The Universe [Cosmos Series#1]

Kabanata 24

"Doc, can I talk to you in your office?" I asked after hearing his announcement that Dasher is in a coma and there's a chance that he'll not be able to walk again. Dahil naipit ang mga binti nito sa kanyang kotse.

"Sure, follow me." I heard Tita Mella crying out loud after hearing the declaration of the doctor. Astrid is comforting her through words while Tito Jax is caressing Tita's back. Si Creed ay tahimik na nakatayo sa gilid while Archer is in our penthouse dahil sa iniutos ko sa kanya.

Inabot ng anim na oras ang operasyon ni Dash. Maayos na nakuha ang mga bala sa katawan niya. Ililipat na siya ng room at maaari namin siyang bisitahin roon but he's in a coma.

"Mirae," Napalingon ako nang marinig ang boses ni Creed.

"Can we talk?" Seryosong sambit niya. Agad ko naman iyong tinanguan.

I turned to Dasher's doctor. "Doc, susunod ako."

Tumango naman siya at dumiretso sa kanyang opisina.

"What is it, Creed?" Tanong ko nang mawala ang doctor sa aming paningin.

"What happened?"

"Rozelli happened, that fucker!"

Creed's jaw clenched as he shook his head.

"I'll just talk to Dr. Mariano," Paalam ko na tinanguan naman niya.

I sashayed towards the doctors office. Pumasok ako roon at inilibot ang paningin sa kanyang opisina. "Sit down, Miss?"

"Lozano. Mirae Lozano." I offered my hand for a handshake at tinanggap naman iyon ng doctor.

I sat down on the chair in front of the table. Dr. Mariano took off his surgical scrubs and sat on his swivel chair.

"I want to talk about Dasher's condition." I started.

The doctor nodded. "I've been working with him for years and he's not only a good man but a great doctor. Kahit ako ay nalulungkot sa nangyari sa kanya. But don't worry Miss Lozano, alam ko na kakayanin niyang malagpasan ang sitwasyon niya ngayon. Pero wala akong magagawa sa mga paa niya hija, but I know someone that can help him." He explained.

"I need to ask you for a favor, Doc." I remember what I saw earlier.

I arrived at Dasher's condo unit. This is trespassing but I don't care anymore. I looked for his laptop and good thing na narito iyon at wala sa opisina niya. I grabbed his laptop and went back to my condo.

I opened my laptop and hacked Dasher's phone ang laptop. I entered some codes and its enough to opened his phone but when I turned to his laptop ay ayaw mabuksan noon. Sinubukan ko ulit iyon but my screen says access denied in a red bold letters for the second time.

"Miss Lozano, are you insane? Hindi ko magagawa ang hinihingi mo." Umiling ito at para bang hindi makapaniwala sa sinabi ko.

"Of course you can, you should." Mariin kong sambit dito na may pinalidad.

I dialled Archer's number and he answered immediately.

"I need you in my condo, now." I said while checking Dasher's phone.

"You need me? Babe huwag ganon, behave dapat." Pabulong na sagot niyo sa kabilang linya.

I frowned. "The hell are you talking about? I need you to hack Dasher's laptop."

"Ah! Lilinawin mo kasi!" He chuckled. "Give me fifteen minutes."

"I'll give you ten." I opened Dasher's messages at kumunot ang noo ko roon.
