Brrrrrrrrm..... Brrrrrrrm.......
Brrrrrrrrm..... Brrrrrrrm.......
Nikka drove her Bullets 2000 like her life depended on it.
" Papunta na ako Gusion ," aniya sa isipan.
Kumakalabog ang puso niya dahil sa kaba at takot. Maraming mga pulis ang sumubok na patigilan siya pero walang ni isa sa kanila ang nagtagumpay.
The 9PM crescent moon look down as Gusion was surrounded with men in red coat.Twenty-five guns are all pointing at him. Twenty five men with violet eyes are watching his moves.
The blood from the cut in his arm soaked the black folder in his hands. Nanginginig ang kamay niyang nakahawak rito. Nakahawak naman ng smart lighter ang isa niyang kamay.
" Bullets will start flying towards you once I give my signal," banta ng isang lalaki na may nakaukit na dragon sa leeg. " Bata ka pa. Masyado ka pang bata para mamatay," dagdag nito.
Gusion's knees feels like a jelly.
The thing he fail most as a player is to face death. Kahit na sinubukan niyang magpakamatay, ayaw niyang mamatay sa ganitong paraan.
Kumikirot na ang sugat niya malapit sa puso. He's trying his best to to hold on and survive until Nikka arrives.
" Drop it on the ground and I'd surely let you live."
All dagger stares are on him. For quite some time he's been thinking of a way to escape. But it takes a huge risk.
And he doesn't have enough time to take that risk.
" Alam kong nag-iisa lang ang file na'to. It doesn't have a record online. What would happen to you if I'll burn it with me?" he threatened.
The man noticed the blood rushing down from the intruders bleeding arm.
" You know I'm a player. The cameras installed in my contacts are sensitive to gunshots," he forced a smile " You certainly know the law between keepers like you and players like me ."
Tension. That's what Gusion sensed in their eyes. At least he could make them feel that tension for a short time.
When a keeper, a person in charge of keeping Code Game information confidential, kills a player, his life, as well as the life of the keeper's family will be taken by Code Game itself. That's the law.
Hinigpitan niya pa ang paghawak sa itim na folder.
He find it hard to breath. He hoped that Nikka would arrive before its too late.
" If you would get away with that file, our end would be the same," tugon nito.
They were about to pull the trigger when sudden darkness covered the place. Before Gusion could move, a hand covered his mouth with a whisper.
" It's me."
Zeus grabbed his hand and lead the way. Hindi alam ni Gusion kung paano nito ginawa lahat. Zeus can move in darkness at ease. Hindi niya naramdamang tumakbo sila pero mukhang wala namang sumusunod sa kanila. Mas lalong hindi niya maintindihan kung bakit iniisip niyang ligtas na sya kahit nung narinig lamang niya ang boses nito.
" Ok ka lang ba?" Zeus asked him when he noticed his unstable breathing.
" I was shot ."
" Saan?"
Hindi na nito hinintay ang sagot niya. He opened his jacket and checked him.
" Sino ang gumawa nito sa'yo? "
