Augusto's POV
When Amara Jean broke down in front me, I immediately lock the door.
I know very well that type of person like Amara Jean, they will never want anyone to witness their weak side.
In my year of service in military, I already encountered a lot of people like her, trying so hard to look tough on the outside but vulnerable in the inside. It all because of their bad experiences.
The first time I saw her, she was floating in the middle of the ocean I thought she was dead but when I reach her and brought her at my yacht she was still breathing, as an army I know how to perform CPR so I did it to her I immediately rushed her to the hospital that morning.
When I look at her face, her resemblance to my late wife was uncanny and that very moment I decided to help her.
At first she doesn't want to talk to anyone about anything. She was just there at my house silent. But every night I can always hear her screams as if she was always having a nightmare till that night when I can't resist it anymore that I was ready to convince her to tell me everything and luckily she cooperates and told me everything.
Golden Serpent is a big time syndicate that even the government can't control, The people behind that syndicate are believed are all high profiles.
I am a retired general but I am having this agency who held secret missions that only well trained people are allowed to handle. As I learned about her skills on battle I know she can be a very big help for me. I don't want to use her but I am this desperate for a help like hers. Underground world is not a joke anymore lots of youths nowadays are involved, they are more willing to fight on that underground thing than being in schools. Numbers of juvenile delinquents are continuing to increase.
And to my surprise Amara Jean said yes.
But seeing her now, I felt like I am also hurting. In her story, Darlene was her only hope in her cruel life.
I go to my mini ref inside that room and get a bottle of water and put it on the table in front of her.
"Drink, you badly need that" I told her.
Medyo humihina na ang mga hikbi nito.
"Pull yourself together ijah, I know it's going to be hard for you but you have to move on-" Sabi ko dito pero ang kislap ng galit sa mga mata nito ay nakapagpatigil sa akin.
"Move on? It easier said than done lolo Augusto! Darlene didn't deserve all of this. For f*cking sake!" Bawat salitang nanggagaling sa bibig nito ay punong puno ng sakit at galit.
Kahit na anong subok na magpigil ng iyak ay kusang tumutulo ang mga luha nito. At iyon ang pinaka masakit sa lahat na kahit mga mata mo ay hindi na kinakaya ang lahat, wala na itong kontrol sa mga luhang pilit na umaalpas.
Amara Jean reaches the bottle of water and dink it nang ibaba nito ang bote ay wala na itong laman, ang bibig nito ay pinunasan nito gamit ang likod ng kamay. Ang mga luha ay pilit na pinalis sa mga pisngi at tumayo ng diretso sa harap ko.
"Lolo I am going to finish that mission about that underground world of yours, but after that pls. I need your help, I want that Golden Serpent to pay for everything, they already took my innocence, my childhood and now my best friend. They have to pay big time for this!" Pilit mang nagpapakatatag ay kusang nababasag na boses na sabi nito sa akin.
"I understand, makakaasa ka na tutulungan kita. Kung nais mo ay hindi na kita pipilitin pa tungkol sa misyong iyon. Maaring kila Grethel at Patricia ko na lamang iyon ipagawa"
Ani ko rito ngunit mabilis itong umiling.
