"What the hell is going on with the two of you?"
Sophia asked angrily to the two of them, their eyes meets with anger on it.
Kasalukuyan silang nasa rooftop ng mga uras na iyon. That's the only place the three of them could meet na walang mag dududa.
Rain is the one who choose the place, alam kasi niyang may mga matang nakatingin kay Leo.
"You—"
"Me?"
Sabay na tanong nilang dalawa.
"He's older than you—you should respect him!"
"Tssk. .older my foot. Why? I always been like this to that good for nothing sh—"
"He's already good for nothing and still you keep calling him like that! how do you expect him to change?"
Sophia hissed. "You!"
Baling nya kay Leo pagkatapos sermonan si Rain, napangiwi naman ang lalaki ng marinig ang sinabi ng dalaga.
"What?"
"What do you mean by what?"
Anyang inundayan ng batok ang lalaki.
"You are older than him so act like one, kapag tinatawag ka niya ng kung anu-ano other than your name, give him a nice wacking he'll never forget!"
"You dare?"
Sophia kick the wall and grit her teeth. She was getting out of patient with the two of them.
"I guess,I need to re-elect another council members—"
"Fine!"
May pagsukong sambit ni Rain.
"Marami na akong iniisip dadagdag pa ba kayo? If you two can't see each other in one place, then, make sure na di kayo mapang abot sa iisang lugar with out my presence!"
"Yeah!"
Walang gana nilang sagot.
Sophia leave the two of them afterwards, parang gusto niyang magkaroon ng hypertension dahil sa dalawa.
Sumunod naman kaagad si Rain sa kanya.
"I have something to tell you, kahapon ko pa ito pinag iisipan!"
Sophia stop in her track saka nilingon si Rain.
"Just hold on into it, for now may mahalagang bagay tayong gagawin!"
"Is it a job?"
"Most likely!"
Ani Sophia, habang pasakay na sa kanyang sasakyan.
"We have to show Mark to make a good deal with Mr. Galo."
"You mean, You're going to make him a bait!"
"Exactly!"
She said in a matter of fact tone.
"If we want to catch a wolf we have to released a rabbit, if we want to lure a tiger, all we need is take her cub, If you want to catch a snake lure it with another snake. Kailangan nating makuha sa kamay ni Mr. Galo ang anak ni Mr. Lim and to do that we're going to make his precious son as a bargain!"
Kailangan nila ang anak ni Mr. Lim bukod kasi sa panig ni Mondejar wala ng iba pang nakakaalam tungkol sa tunay na anak ni Mr. Lim na nasa kamay ni Mr. Galo.
"We'll going to make them turn against each other dahil papalabasin nating si Mondejar ang may kagagawan ng lahat!"
"Does Mr. Ybanez knows about this?"
Alanganing tanong ni Rain sa kanya.
"Do you think we have to tell him?"
"I don't know—probably!"
Rain shrugged. Sophia think about it for a while.
"Well, It's just fine. Atleast alam ni Mr. Ybanez ang ating gagawin!"
Ani Sophia na biglang iniliko sa isang warehouse ang kanilang sasakyan. Paglapit palang nilang sa gate Sophia showed something saka pa ito bumukas.
"What is this?"
"This is our main barracks!"
When She parked the car inside naka hilira na kaagad ang kanilang mga tauhan.
"Princess. .young master!"
Bati ng mga ito sa kanila, Rain was impressed ngayon lang niya nakita ang mga ito but they already knew who he is.
"Where is our guest?"
Ani Sophia na lumakad papasok sa may pinakalooban ng naturang warehouse.
"Nasa loob po ma'am sakit sa ulo ang isang yan!"
Reklamo ng lalaki.
"Laging naninigaw at nagwawala!"
Sophia smirked when she heard it.
"We'll see if he could still shout pag puputulan ko yan ng dila!"
"Soph!"
"Bring him out!"
Utos niya sa mga tauhan, kaagad naman nilang iniharap sa kanya ang lalaki.
"Untie our guest!"
Mark smirked ng makita sya.
"I thought you're dead?"
Nang marinig ng mga tauhan ni Sophia ang sinabi nito, they pinned him in the table.
Nagkikisay naman ang lalaki habang namimilipit sa sakit.
Sophia whispered something to Rain, umalis naman saglit ang huli.
"Be easy on him!"
Wala niyang ganang sabi sa mga ito.
"Make him sit and leave us!"
With out a question they leave. Nang makaalis na sila dumating si Rain ng may dalang dalawang baril.
Rain position the gun two feet away from Mike sa ibabaw ng lamesa. He did the same kay Sophia.
"You know why we're here?"
"Who care?"
Sophia laughed, she knews that Mark is trying to provoke her.
"We're going go set you free in one good condition!"
Saglit namang natigilan ang lalaki.
"We need to know something!"
"Ah. .you want an information about my father? Dream on!"
Nakakaloko nitong sabi sa kanya.
"Patayan niyo nalang ako! I'm not going to betray my father!"
"Oh no! I'm not going to ask about him—"
"Kung ganoon sino?"
Mark asked tentatively.
"Mr. Lim's daughter, Laika!"
Biglang nag iba ang expression ng lalaki, nag kulay suka din ang mukha nito.
"How—how did you know about her?"
"Who else knew about her?"
Nakangiting tanong ni Sophia sa kanya, sinamantala niya ang pagkakataong tila wala sa sarili ang lalaki.
"Si ninong!"
"Who?"
"Si Major General—"
Napatigil ito bigla ng marealized kung ano ang kaniyang punto.
"Why would I believe in you?"
"Oh. !—I did not asked you to believed me!"
"What do you want?"
Nanggagalaiti nitong bulyaw sa kanya.
"I already said it!"
She paused habang hinihipan ang kanyang koko.
"You know what I hate the most? When someone wants me to repeat something I already said!"
She said imperiously and pick the gun, Mark did the same at halos magkasabay pa silang nagtutukan ng baril.
"Go on, kill me! That's the only way you could leave this place alive!"
Nagtatagis naman ang bagang ni Mark at walang kaabog abog na pinaputok nito ang baril but it was just a click na ikinagulat niya. While Sophia did not even bat an eye.
Napatingin sya bigla kay Rain, nag iwas naman ng tingin ang lalaki.
"You already lost your chance!"
Sophia said before firing it, napaupo naman sa sobrang takot si Mark akala kasi niya sya talaga ng punterya ng babae.
"You're a craz. .crazy bitch!"
Halos maputol ang litid na bulyaw nito sa kanya.
"Opps. .sa susunod I'm pretty sure I won't missed it. So you'd better tell me about it habang matino pa akong kausap—Yes you're right I'm a crazy bitch kaya kung ako sayo wag na wag mong subukang ubusin ang aking pasensya!"
Malakas niyang sigaw rito, Sophia aim towards him again but this time Rain interfere it, tumama ito sa kesami.
"Are you out of your mind? What if you killed him?"
Galit na galit na bulyaw ni Rain sa kanya.
"What should I do? He's a damn useless. What's the used?"
Ani Sophia na nagmukhang psychopath dahil sa panlilisik ng mga mata nito.
"Fine kill him!"
Galit na sabi ni Rain at binigyan pa sya ng space.
Nangatog at naihi sa kanyang pantalon si Mark dahil sa takot, by looking into Sophia's face alam niya hindi ito nag bibiro. Nakangisi pa ang babae na tila isang demonyo.
"I. .I will tell you!"
Nangangatog nitong sabi sa kanila.
"Good!"
Sophia smiled at ibinaba ang baril.
"Talk to him at baka mapatay ko na talaga iyan!"
Angil niya kay Rain, she secretly wink to him bago iniwanan ang dalawa.
"She's a real psycho!"
Nagtataka namang nakatingin si Mike sa kanya.
"But I'm worst!—now talk!"
