The Offer

Limit Three: The Offer

(9th Force - Skylar)

            Lunch. Sosyal. English ng tanghalian samantalang nasa prison bilibid ako nanananghalian. XD

            Anyway, kumakain nga ako ng lunch. May mga nagsisitabihan na sa akin. Mga tropapips ata ‘to ni Jin eh. Yung nakita kong tumulong sa kanya noong isang araw. Tsinitsika nila ako. Natango lang naman ako. Wala akong maintindihan eh.

                  “Sky, single ka pa ba?”

            Napatingin ako kay Tisoy. Pagkalapad ng ngiti niya kala mo asong ulol. =___="

                 “Yeah.” -___-

                 “Yun oh!” sabay palakpak pa.

                 “Naman eh! Akin ka na lang, Skylar!” hiyaw ni Bartolome. Yaaaak panget ng pangalan, panget niya rin. > 3(6th Force – Maryan)

            The alleys was all lit up. He’s here. “Balita, First?”

            We walked to the stairs. Huminto lang para pakinggan si Amber. I heard nilakad nila ni Erinne ang contract nung bounty hunter. I wonder if they succeeded. If they did, should I celebrate then?

                 “Ninth will be released on Sunday, as Seventh has instructed.”

            I eyed Savier. He gave me a non-chalant shrug like telling me that he just wanted it to be on Sunday and there’s really no particular reason as to why he instructed that. Sheez.

                 “And?”

                 “When she’s released, I will gave her to Fifth for briefing. Then papipiliin ko siya kung gusto niyang sa’yo mag-report o kay Savier.”

            Xena just walked in from the doors na may dalang mahabang bagay. “Na-retrieved ko na ang espada niya, Savier. Here.” Then he handed Savier the sword.

            Which… he handed to me. “Keep it, Sunshine. Baka hanapin niya sa’yo.” Then he grinned.

            -___-++

            Hindi ko siya pinansin at binalingan na lang si Second. “Asan siya?”

                 “Up up and away?”

                 “Don’t kid with me, Velasco.”

                 “Yeah right. He’s upstairs, super poker face.”

                 “Oy. Kausapin mo na. Buong maghapon na ‘yang nagkukulong.” Panggagatong pa ni Erinne.

            Are they serious? Tinignan ko si Gino. Nag-shrug lang siya. Then Savier. He gestured his head to the door upstairs. Ah s**t. “Fine!”

            Padabog akong umakyat ng hagdanan. Pagtapat ko sa pintuan, binuksan ko ‘yon at pumasok. The lights were all off. It was just the lampshade that saves me the trouble of finding him in a tough looking room like this. It was dim. And I found him sipping scotch from his glass and seating in a solo couch like he’s bored.

            I took the seat across him. “Rey…”

                 “What?”

                 “Why are you doing this again? Nag-usap-usap na tayong lahat di ba? You promised to practice a lively life from here on out. Why are you here again? And drinking. Is something the matter?”

            He looked deeply to my eyes. I can sense worry and pain and sadness. Poor man. Isolated in a four walled room, lacking freedom of doing anything he wants.

                 “I can’t get her out of my mind.”

            Napakunot ako ng noo. “Who?”

                 “Never mind.” Then he stood up, place the glass on the table then went directly to his bed. “I’m going to bed, I’m tired. Good night, Yan.”

            I looked confusingly at him. Who the hell is he thinking about?
