Unknown calling...
Sino namang tatawag sakin?
I pressed the answer button and put the phone in my ear. Nakasakay na ako sa sasakyan pero dahil sa tawag ay hindi ko pa napapaandar.
"Can we have a chat with you?" A cold-icy voice said from the other line that makes my heart beat a bit faster.
Am I nervous?
"Who's this?" I asked
"Kratos Muller" he replied
Kratos Muller
Kratos Muller
Kratos Muller
Ilang beses nagpa ulit ulit sa utak ko yung pangalan niya. s**t! Gising na siya? Okay na kaya siya?
Duh? Tatawagan ka ba kung tulog? sabi naman ng kabilang utak ko.
"Sure, when and where?" I asked a bit high pitch. Hindi naman halatang excited akong makita ang crush ko e no?
"Now, in my house."
"Sure, give me the address." after i said that he hung up the call. "Ang bastos buti na lang gwapo ka. Hmp." sabi ko sabay tapon ng phone ko sa kabilang upuan at ipinausad ang sasakyan.
Ilang saglit lang ay tumunog ulit ito dahil sa mensaheng natanggap.
Ang layo ng bahay niya!
Buti na lang pumunta akong warehouse kung hindi isang oras akong magmamaneho mula samin hanggang sa kanila.
Mabilis kong minaniobra ang baby ko para mabilis din akong makarating. May magsusundo naman sa mga bata lalo pa't uwian na.
Ang tahimik ng daan grabi, parang sasakyan ko lang yung maingay.
Ilang saglit pa ay tanaw ko na yung malaking gate sa liblib ng lugar na to.
Bumusina muna ako at may lumabas na armadong lalaki palapit sakin. Ibinaba ko agad ang bintana at agad sinabi ang pangalan ko.
"Dra. Gonzales" i said to the man
Tumango lang siya sakin at sumenyas sa camera bago ito nagbukas. Isinarado ko ulit yung bintana ng sasakyan at tumuloy na sa pagpasok.
Kung lalakarin ito mula gate hanggang bahay niya tapos gawin mong araw araw paniguradong gaganda hubog ng katawan mo. Ilang metro ang layo. Hindi talaga mapapasukan ng magnanakaw ang lugar na to.
Ang tataas pa ng pader. Kung ordinaryong magnanakaw ka hindi ka makakanakaw ikaw pa ang nanakawan. Kung propesyonal ka naman siguro ay makakalusot pero mahuhuli pa din sa dami ng bantay.
Ilang saglit lang ay nakarating na ako at ipinark ko na lang ang sasakyan sa harap ng bahay. Hindi to bahay, mansyon ang tawag dito. Pambihira bahay lang sa kaniya to?
Bumaba na ako at nag tuloy tuloy na sa pag pasok. Nalilingon pa ako ng mga tauhan niya marahil siguro nagtataka kung sino ako o dahil sa damit na suot ko.
Whatever.
Nasa tanggapan na ako ng may sumulpot na isang armadong lalaki.
"Follow me" simpleng aniya at tumalikod agad.
Grabi. Ganito ba talaga kapag kasapi ka ng organisasyong ito? Parang wala kang modo.
Sinundan ko lang yung lalaki hanggang sa makarating kami sa likud bahay. Ang ganda ng view. Kulay green lahat ng makikita mo. Kaya naman pala nasa liblib para relaxing.
May sofa set sa area na ito dito at maliit na lamesa sa gitna. Nilingon ako ng apat.
Pero yung titig ni Kratos nakakakaba. Ang lagkit ng titig niya mula ulo hanggang paa. Para bang hinuhubaran ako. Ano ba yan, kung anong kahalayan pumapasok sa isip ko.
"Have a sit Ms. Gonzales." Kratos formally said.
"Athena will do" i said kasi masyadong pormal wala naman ako sa hospital o sa opisina para tawagin ng ganun.
"I've got you investigated." deretsong sabi niya matapos kong umupo. Buti na lang nakaupo agad ako.
I lean my back on the backrest and put my left legs over to my right. Hands on my lap. Sitting comfortably. Yeah that's me.
"And?" I asked
"Who are you?" he asked other men are just intently watching my moves.
"The fvck? You got me investigated yet you asked me who am I? Kulang sa information yung imbestigador mo?" I asked laughing
"Is there something funny on what I said?"
"Yeah." I replied, hindi na tumatawa pero nakangiti pa din.
Binuksan niya ang folder sa mesa at binasa sa harap ko.

One of the four Goddess in the society" he said before raising his head to me. "You're records are clean." he continue.
"And you're implying?" I asked again
"Thanatos, Heracles, and Deimos, told me you're not simple."
"How come? I'm a normal citizen." I sarcastically said.
"Your guns? Where did you get that? "
"Business."
"Interesting." Thanatos commented.
"You cleaned Deimos gunshots last night so we wasn't able to see the bullet. " Kratos continue. "Why do you have a gun? You're a doctor not a killer. "
" So? Is there a rule where doctor's not allowed to owned a gun? "
"Stop being sarcastic woman, you're in my territory. " He darkly said
"Why? What will you do? " I asked slowly leaning forward to him. "Threatened me with your baby? Like what you're friends do to me last night? " I said smiling while slowly rubbing my middle finger where my ring s***h detonator is.
Thanatos suddenly raised his back from his seat. When he noticed my hands.
"Uh-huh, you might pressed the button. " he said that make other men looked at him.
"Glad you still remember. Nice brain. " I said and lean back on my seat and crossed my legs again.
"What are you saying? " Kratos and Deimos asked in unison.
"She's rubbing her middle finger. " he said.
I laughed, what the fvck. They might get the wrong information.
"And? " Kratos asked once again.
"I don't know if it's because you got shot that's why you're light headed or it's just because time of the month. " I commented.
"Time of the month? "
"Yeah, like women. It's your time of the month to be dumb. "
"Watch your mouth. " He said and suddenly aimed his gun at me.
"Kratos, put that down. " Thanatos said again.
"I don't know if you're being a coward or not. " Kratos hissed at him.
"I am not. I just don't want to die while sitting comfortably." Thanatos retorted.
