"RAGE WILL you take care of Kalisz? May pupuntahan lang ako." Paalam niya kay Rage na nakahiga sa kama ni Auri.
It's only four in the morning and Kronack is already dressed casually, ready to leave.
Gusto niyang umalis ng maaga para makabalik rin siya agad. Pero pinuntahan niya muna ang kapatid niyang natutulog na naman sa kwarto ni Auri para ibilin si Kalisz.
Nang hindi ito sumagot ay binuksan niya lahat ng ilaw.
"Fuck! Turn off the lights moron!" Hinablot nito ang unan at tinakpan ang ulo.
"Rage!" Tawag niya dito sa may kataasang boses.
"Yeah, yeah, fucker! I heard you!" Inis na sagot ng kapatid niya.
"Take care of her. No scratch should befall her," Kronack warned.
"Oh, fuck you! Just leave and get lost!"
Alam niyang sira ang araw nito dahil sa pangdidistorbo niya ng maaga. Ilang segundo muna niyang tinignan ang kapatid bago tumalikod at iniwan na bukas ang ilaw.
"Tang'na mo Kronack! Turn off the fucking lights!" Narinig niyang mura nito pero hindi siya nakinig.
Mabilis siyang naglakad palabas ng bahay. Sumakay siya ng kotse niya at nagmaneho papuntang Crown's hotel kung saan naka park sa helipad ng hotel ang chopper niya.
Mabilis lang siyang nakarating doon at nakita niya si Lust at Rogue na naroon na at hinihintay siya habang nakasandal sa chopper.
"Ready?" Tanong niya kay Lust.
Tumango lang ito at pumasok na sa loob ng chopper sa kanang bahagi kung saan dapat ang piloto.
He and Rogue followed but they sat in the passenger seats. Nang makabit ang kanilang seat belt ay agad silang umalis.
Nasa himpapawid na sila ng magsalita si Rogue.
"Are you really sure about this?" Tanong nito.
Alam niyang tinatanong ni Rouge kung sigurado ba siyang imbistigahan ang pagkatao ni Kalisz na hindi alam ng dalaga. Alam na ng mga ito ang mga nalaman niya tungkol sa pagkatao ni Kalisz. He told them earlier when he called to prepare because they're going somewhere.
"Yeah," Kronack replied, nodding.
Umiling ito at pumalatak. "Bakit hindi mo na lang siya tanungin?"
"You think she'll tell me the truth?" Balik na tanong niya dito.
Rogue shrugged.
"Malay mo." Sabad naman ni Lust.
"I don't think so," Kronack answered with certainty.
He had thought about it. He had considered it. If Kalisz really wanted to share something, Auri should have known more about her. But Auri doesn't know much beyond the fact that Kalisz lives alone. Kronack doesn't even think Auri knows that Kalisz has a brother, or if Kalisz is even her real name.
"You're just afraid she'll lie to you if you question her." Komento ni Rogue.
Hindi siya sumagot at nakakunot ang noong tumingin lang sa labas ng bintana. Rogue hit a nerve. Takot siyang harap harapan magsinungaling si Kalisz sa kanya pagnagtanong siya. Kaya nga nandito siya, pupuntahan ang dating tirahan nito para mangalap ng impormasyon tungkol sa dalaga.
He's a coward. Fuck! He didn't even know when this all started. But he can't take it if Kalisz would lie to him. That woman took him by surprise that he was lost. She made him feel afraid.
Natatakot siyang malalaman na kaya nitong magsinungaling sa kanya. Dahil isa lang ang ibig sabihin no'n, hindi siya importante sa babae.
Kronack believed that you don't lie to people you love.
