Chapter 164: Life risking mission!
"Are you sure it will be alright?"
Alanganing tanong ni Leo kay Sophia, na tinutugon lamang nito ng mahinang tango.
"If you don't want me to do—"
"Let's proceed to our plan and end this para sa kapakanan ng lahat!"
Saglit na natahimik si Leo. He knew his father won't keep his promised kaya nag aalala sya sa kapakanan ng dalaga.
"Don't worry about me—"
"Sabihin mo sa akin kung papaanong hindi magaalala sa iyo? You know my father!"
Bahagyang napangiti si Sophia ng marinig ang sinabi ng lalaki.
"If you changed your mind now let it be habang may uras pa tayo!"
"I'm fine— If I'm going to turn my back to them right now, there's no other chance. We're going to lost the people we're trying to protect, just because of me being a coward!"
Mariing tanggi ni Sophia sa suhestion ni Leo. She's scared and she's not stupid not to admit it, but the fact that there's two lives that might be in danger because of her, is just too much for her to bear.
"Hindi rin maatim ng aking konsensya na may mga taong mapahamak just because of me being selfish and inconsiderate—beside your mother and Glaiza is waiting for us!"
"What about Rain?"
"Don't worry, I'll be alright!"
Rain answer in the communicator, nagulat pa si Leo ng marinig ang boses nito.
"I'm in my position!"
"Ok! Just standby no matter what happened their safety is our priority—please don't make an impulse move!"
Mariing sabi ni Sophia.
Alam kasi nilang Rain is also impulsive as she is lalo na pag nalalagay sya sa alanganin.
"Fine!"
"Promise! Me that no matter what happened tonight you're going to listen to me!"
Matagal na nakasagot si Rain sa kabilang linya that makes Leo spoke to him.
"Buddy! You have to listened to us even just this once—no matter what happened in here your safety is a must, do you understand?"
"I won't promise anything, just make yourself safe and get out in here alive. End of story!"
Nagkatinginan naman sina Sophia at Leo. There was uncertainty in their eyes.
"Please come back to us alive!"
Sophia's voiced sounds like pleading, Leo did not answered her, he just smiled.
"Let's go!"
Leo said and step out from his car sumunod naman si Sophia sa kanya bitbit ang briefcase.
Kasalukuyan silang nasa planta ng yelo ng mga uras na iyon, doon kasi ang usapan nila ng ama.
They were going to have a bargain, kailangan lang dalhin ni Leo si Sophia with the emperor seal in exchanged to Glaiza and Leo's mom.
Maya-maya pay tinawagan ni Leo ang ama gamit ang walkie talkie.
"I already brought her!"
Leo said ng tinawagan nya ang kanyang magaling na ama.
"Good! Bring her to me—"
"Show me my mom, first!"
Natawa ito ng mahina nang marinig ang kanyang sinabi.
"You don't trust me, do you?"
"We're not here to question our trust with each other, show my mom and Glaiza—first!"
Napatiim bagang si Mondejar, habang nakatingin sa monitor.
"Shoot them!"
Utos nito sa mga tauhan pero bago paman sila nakakilos Rain already took down two of his men na nakabantay sa labas.
"Don't try to fool me, Mr. Mondejar! Show them to us and we have a deal!"
"You bastard!—show her to them!"
Utos niya sa mga tauhan.
Meanwhile. .
Nagising si Glaiza sa sobrang lamig ng kanyang pakiramdam, ang una niyang namulatan ay ang madilim na paligid.
She looked up and scream in horror only to realized where she is and what's going on.
Nakahiga sya habang nakatali ang kamay at paa sa ilalim ng isang malaking chopping blade.
Nakita niya ang malaking blade sa ibabaw kung saan sya nakahiga, nagpupumiglas sya mula sa pagkakatali.
But she realized that if she keeps on moving the chopping blade will slowly drops down.
And what fear her the most ay ang kandila na kasalukuyang tumutunaw sa lubid na nakatali sa naturang blade.
Once the rope is being cut by the candle the blade will automatically drops and make her body cut into half.
"Oh God. .please help me, Please!"
Malakas na sigaw ni Glaiza sa kawalan na ikinalingon nila Sophia at Leo.
"That was Glaiza's voice!"
Mariing sabi ni Sophia.
"Rain find her, right now she might be in danger!"
"Copy that!"
Bulong ni Rain na hinanap naman ang location ng babae, He owed her something at tama lang na this time sya naman ang tutulong dito.
"Just hold on a lil bit Glaiza!"
Bulong ni Rain sa sarili.
Sophia and Leo almost run forward ng ipinakita ng mga tauhan ni Mondejar ang kanyang mama, pero pinaputukan sila ng mga ito that made them step back.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?"
Galit na galit na sigaw ni Leo sa kanyang ama.
"Release them first!"
"Ow? I just remember na wala sa usapan natin ang pakawalan sila, I'm in control here baka nakakalimutan mo?"
Napatiim bagang silang dalawa.
"Mondejar—You old hug!"
Di na makatiis na sabat ni Sophia na hinablot kay Leo ang walkie talkie.
"I don't care what deal do you have with him but I'm different—"
"Shoot her!"
Narinig nilang sabi ni Mondejar but Sophia never but an eye when one of his men fell down.
Sophia snorts.
"You think you're the only one who's in control here?"
"Leo anak! Just don't think about me. Wag mong hayaang gamitin ka ng iyong ama, please!"
Pagmamakaawa ng kanyang ina na nasa rooftop ng isang warehouse, may lima hanggang sampong katao ang kasalukuyang nakabantay sa kanya.
Nagkakainitan na ang tensyon sa baba habang patuloy parin na hinahanap ni Rain si Glaiza ng mahagip ng kanyang tingin ang tila nag iisang ilaw sa loob ng isang kwarto.
Glaiza could not even moved, dahil kapag kumilos sya dahan-dahang bababa ang blade because the rope that tied in her hands and feet is connected into it.
All she could do in that very moment is pray for a miracle that there might be a strong wind or even a rain.
But she also knew it was hopeless as the star in the sky shine brightly above her, na tila ba pinagtatawanan.
"I'm really going to kill you bastard!"
Impit niyang iyak, she could not imagine herself being cut in half. Ang iisipin palang iyon ay nanayo na ang kanyang balahibo.
"I'm not gonna die in here!"
Malakas niyang hagulgol sa kawalan ng pag-asa, wala man lang makakaalam at maghahanap sa kanya pag namatay sya.
She had nobody except her brother, and kapag namatay sya wala ng matitira para sa kapatid.
"I never done anything wrong but why I am here?"
Malakas niyang sigaw habang naghihinagpis.
Naisip niyang pagnamatay sya.
"I'm going to come back as a ghost at mo multohin kitang walang hiya ka!"
Rain slowly sneaked out, he didn't knew if Glaiza's really in there dahil sa kanyang point of view wala syang makikita, bukod sa maliit na ilaw dahil may kadiliman ang lugar.
Nang makarating sya roon, He heard Glaiza weeping hardly at kung ano anu ang isinisigaw nito. Di niya alam kung maawa oh matatawa sa ginagawa nito.
He suddenly saw a man but he's quick enought to launched a surprised attacked.
"Agggghh!"
Mahina nitong ungol when he snapped his neck.
"Hoy. .Sino yan?"
Sigaw ng isang nagulantang na tauhan, when Rain saw him because of the light, he throws a knife and darted into the man's forehead.
"You're noisy bastard!"
Rain hissed, kinuha niya ang double edge pocket knife mula sa noo ng lalaki and dragged him in the dark side.
Darn this life risking rescue mission! Hindi niya mapigilang bulong sa sarili habang hinihingal sa kaba.
Rain's heart is pounding so hard, na tila ba gusto nitong tumalon mula sa kanyang bibig.
He entered into the door with so much anticipation, ganoon nalang ang kanyang pagkagulat ng makita ang sitwasyong kinalalagyan ng dalaga.
Di niya mapigilang mapahugot ng hininga at panindigan ng balahibo.
"Glaiza?"
Gulat niyang tawag sa babae, bigla naman itong napalingon sa kanya.
"Rain—watch out!"
