It took twelve hours to reach their destination, pero hindi naramdaman ni Tatum ang kahit konting pagod. If anything, he was riddled with adrenaline and tension. Malapit na kasi sila sa pinagtataguan ni Victor. Mga isang milya na lang ang agwat ng layo nila rito. Sa unang pagkakataon sa labing-isang buwan, ang lalaking pumaslang sa kapatid niya ay abot-kamay na lang niya.
Although he preferred to travel at night, impatience and eagerness had overruled his need for caution, and so he and Ina had navigated the mountainous terrain while the sun beat down on their heads, leaving them hot and sweaty. They discussed their options during the trek, but Tatum hadn't come up with a workable plan of action yet.
Giit pa rin ni Ina na siya ang gagawa ng distraction, ngunit hindi talaga iyon pupwede.
