"Ano pa ang hinihintay n'yo? Let's go, guys!" masiglang sigaw ni Jamie, akmang makikisabay sa pagtakbo ng ibang teams. I grabbed her hand while she's within my reach. Muntik na siyang madapa. "What's the problem, Lori? Mauunahan na nila tayo!"
"We shouldn't run like headless chickens," tugon ko. Wala pa nga kaming plano. "Let's strategize muna bago tayo sumabak sa giyera, okay? Mahirap na papasok ka sa laban nang hindi mo alam kung anong strategy mo."
We huddled together except for Loki who was watching the other teams disappear from our eyeshot. I unfolded the map that we bought. They all looked at it. "The best positions in the arena are the spots near portable toilets, right? Siguradong doon mag-uunahan ang ibang teams."
"I saw the other teams buy a map," Alistair added. "They know where to find them."
"Shouldn't we go ahead as well?" atat na tanong ni Jamie sabay turo sa papalayong teams. "Kung mag-uusap lang tayo rito, talagang mauunahan na nila tayo! Baka tayo pa ang walang portalet mamaya!"
"What Lori's trying to say is we need to choose which spot we're gonna go for," Alistair explained. Ibinaba niya muna ang mga gamit namin. Siya na ang nag-volunteer na dalhin ang camping bag. "Mag-aagawan tayong lahat sa mga spot. Once a team occupies an area, we will have no choice but to look for another."
"Hindi sila basta-basta makalalayo sa atin." Sa dami at bigat ng mga dala ng bawat team, hindi sila agad makapupunta sa mga strategic area. "The more important question is, which spot should we take?"
"Siyempre 'yong pinakamalapit!" Jamie pointed at the blue square nearest to the neutral zone. "This is the perfect spot for me. Malapit na siya sa cabin, malapit din siya sa ilog. Kung strategic ang pag-uusapan, ito na ang area na hinahanap natin."
"Forgive me my intrusion, but I personally don't think that's a good idea," Luthor spoke the moment Jamie took a pause. "Since that spot is the nearest and the most convenient, every other team will think the same way you did. They will try to reach and occupy it first. There's going to be a competition among them. Best if we avoid any confrontation this early."
Jamie pouted. "If not the nearest, then the second nearest!"
"Those who fail to capture the first spot are going for that one next." Luthor scanned the map. "Do you mind if I make a suggestion?"
"You don't need to ask for permission," Loki blurted. Sa wakas, nagsalita na ulit siya. Akala ko'y napipi na ang member naming may pinakamalaking contribution so far. "You're gonna tell them anyway."
"We welcome any suggestions," I told his brother. Wala na ngang natutulong ang Loki na 'to, nang-aasar pa. "Mabuti pa nga ikaw, may ambag sa grupo natin."
Luthor pointed at the blue box near the edge of our map. "We must get to the farthest spot in the arena. They will most likely compete for the two nearest portable toilets. I suggest that we take advantage of their preoccupation and claim this spot for ourselves."
