Chap 20

Yoshiro's POV

Maya maya nag text na nga si Dustin na dalhan siya ng gamit sa hospital. Finorward ko kay papa yung text ni kuya. Mayamaya narinig ko na yabag ng mga paa niya pataas ng stairs tapos nung bababa na sana siya nung tumigil siya sa harap ng kwarto ko.

"Aren't you coming?"

"I ain't welcome there" sabi ko naman

"Don't you want to visit her?"

"I don't care about her. We hate each other, that's it"

"I'll have Jiro look after you"

"Ok"

"I'll be back soon" sabi ni dad at umalis na siya

"Jiro" I called him through my phone tapos nagpakita ang 3 dash sa screen ko representing eyes and lips

"Sundan natin si dad"

"As you wish" pinakita na niya agad yung kuha ng isa pang camera bug na sinusundan si dad

"Lil sis" tawag ni Jiro sakin pero nakatutok lang ako sa phone ko

"I know you're worried about your cousin" is this AI trying to be realistic?

"Can you still remember when she visited you when you're still in the hospital?" napakunot naman ang noo ko sa tanong niya

"Bakit naman tayo napunta dun?"

"You don't want to welcome her in, is it not?"

"I ain't guilty"

"Then do you think that time she's running after Dustin is also an act?"

"I also know how to reconsider things"

"So, you believed her"

"Slight. Jiro"

"Yes lil sis?"

"Do you think she already know the relationship between my family and hers"

"Basing from her words, yes"

"Do you want to do some search big brother?" I asked after coming up with a good idea

"Should we tell father?"

"Leave that thing to me" I told him then we went to her current apartment and searched for proof on her claims. I found her phone lying on the floor. It has a passcode and I let Jiro unlock it and had him copy everything in the phone. I found guns and ammo all around the house. Her stuff toys are also filled with a lot of letters and cards and I took a video as I search so I can review and see what I'd missed. Pagka-uwi ko dumiretso ako sa kwarto ko and read all the messages, all the people registered in her contacts, and viewed everything we got from her phone. I was surprised to know that what she's telling that day is true basing on this.

Those messages and cards and letters all contain threat messages. All from 'Grandpa'. Pero hindi lang puro mga banta sa buhay niya ang nandito. One of them is a mission. To eradicate me, and she'll always be watched. Kaya pala. Now I understand. She actually needs help. I misunderstood her a bit but it's not like she's opening to me. Dust should know more about her situation.

"Ah, poor kid" Jiro sighed that made me raise my brow.

"Seriously Jiro?"

"What? She's stuck between, lil sis"

"She's not, stupid. She doesn't know how to confront her grandpa or even have the strength to knock down the Eyes"

"Oh"
