"Pikit." 

Napasinghap ako nang hindi niya sinunod ang sinabi ko at patuloy pa rin akong pinagmasdan ng mga mata niyang kailan man ay hindi ko matitigan ng matagal. 

"Nasa labi ko ang sugat. Wala sa mata, Lieutenant Diaz." 

Binitiwan ko ang panga niya at tinapon ang hawak na bulak sa lalagyang metal na nakapatong sa maliit na lamesa sa kaniyang gilid. "E 'di gamutin mo 'yang sarili mo." Pagod ko siyang tinitigan bago tinalikuran. 

Hindi ko na rin maintindihan ang sarili kung bakit tila may malaking tinik na nakabara sa aking dibdib. Hirap na hirap akong huminga kahit na iisa lang naman ang pasyente ko ngayon at hindi punuan gaya ng mga araw na talagang marami ang napupuruhan. 

Bago pa ako makahakbang ay nahawakan na niya ako sa aking braso. Gaya ng dati ay kakaibang sakit ang gumuhit sa aking dibdib nang maramdaman ang magaspang niyang palad sa aking balat.

Narinig ko ang bahagya niyang pagtawa bago nagsalita. 

Triple pa yata ang kaba ko ngayon kumpara sa kabang nararamdaman ko sa tuwing gagamot ako sa gitna ng putukan. 

"Ito na nga... pipikit na..." Marahan niyang sabi habang marahan ding hinihila ako palapit. 

Bumuntong hininga ako bago humarap muli at pilit na nilunok ang nakakatakot na nararamdaman.

A ragtag gang of teens teams up with a neighboring girl gang when a major cartel moves into town, threatening their families, their turf, and the community they've worked so hard to protect. ***** Cash West formed the Seven 20s - a gang of six overzealous teens with guns - to keep his tiny, crime-infested town in nowhere California safe. His methods are unorthodox and frankly illegal, but the town loves his Robin Hood heroics. However, the gang gets more than they bargained for when the Mendoza cartel rolls into town, determined to knock them off the map. As the threat hits closer to home, Cash has no choice but to team up with his ex-girlfriend Tiana's neighboring girl gang, the Hearts of Spades. Soon allies become enemies, families get trapped in the crossfire, and romance brews as Cash fights to unravel a massive conspiracy that puts everyone that matters to him at risk. When the stakes are life and death, will the gangs be able to overcome an enemy more powerful than any of them could have predicted? Book One of The Seven Twenties Series Content and Trigger Warning: contains violence, drug use, mentions of domestic abuse, and mature themes.
