Widowed Rose

Chapter 39: The last mission [8]

May sasabihin pa sana ako sakanya ng mapansin kong meron siyang nilunok na puting pill. Kahit hindi na niya sabihin, it is already obvious kung ano yon, it is the pill na sinasabi ng mga gangters na nakalaban nila Blaire sa likod ng mall last time.

Or maybe not. Lumundag ako papalayo sakanya dahil bigla nalang siyang bumangon as if hindi ako nakapatong sakanya. Binugat niya ako na para akong bulak.

What the f**k it is a different kind of drug.

Sumugod saakin ang impostor ko at para ma secure ang hinala ko, I let her land a blow saakin which I regretted the most.

"Aurgh shit." Napadura ako ng dugo dahil sa sobrang lakas ng pagbawi niya saakin ng suntok, tumilapon ako ng bahagya mula sakanya. Dahil sa hindi magandang landing ko sa lupa, nasira ang shades na suot ko exposing my bruised face sa kalaban.

"Hahaha you keep on bragging how you enjoyed infiltrating the base but look at you, it looked like you had a hard time last night."

"Well, at least mag isa lang ako and still I was able to stir trouble at your turf." I smirked.

Pasimple akong bumangon as if nothing happened pero sa totoo lang I think I broke a rib and it f*****g hurts a lot. I just hope it didn't puncture my lungs.

"Joana Richardson, ano bang nagawa ng Black Rose Organization para gawan mo kami ng gulong gaya nito? Our transaction went smooth anong problema doon? You even killed one of my trusted men sa tingin mo hahayaan lang kitang mang gulo?"

Natawa ako dahil sa sinabi niya. What the hell feel na feel niya ang pang gagaya saakin.

Muli niya akong sinugod at binigyan ng malalakas na suntok. although she is super strong, luckily hindi siya marunong makipaglaban. Madali lang mabasa ang patterns ng pagatake niya kaya madali lang akong nakaka ilag sakanya.

I tried to land a strong kick sa tagiliran niya pero nasalo niya nag paa ko. Sisipain ko pa sana siyang muli gamit ang isa ko pang hita pero muli niyang nasalo.

"Shit." Was the only word I was able to say.

Inikot ikot niya ako at itinapat sa malapit na poste. Muli akong napasuka ng kaunting dugo dahil sa lakas ng impact ng katawan ko sa kongretong poste.

I curled myself in a ball dahil sa sakit. Hahaha, what the f**k am I doing with my life?

"My new invention, it's good isn't it?" Hinawakan niya ang kwelyo ng uniporme ko at hinila papunta sa gitna.

Yung epekto ng drugs, hindi siya kagaya sa mga gamit ng mga naka engkwentro namin, it's not a pain killer it's something that can boost someone's strength.

"Ngayon sagutin mo ako ng maayos kung ayaw mong pulutin ka ng mayamang tatay mo sa kang kungan. Anong pakay mo sa pag atake sa organisasyon ko."

Pft, imbes na matakot ako para sa buhay ko, mas lalo akong natatawa. Maybe because I know the truth about her and her so called organization.

I thought she is a die hard fan of mine kaya inasahan ko na at the time na nakita niya ang regalong iniwan ko sakanya she would know that it was me. In the underground world, I used to give a black rose as a warning to my targets. That fact is well known by everyone.

"Choose your words wisely when you're talking to me. I might lose my patience at iba ang magawa ko sayo." Naglakad siya papalapit kung saan ko hinagis ang string na gamit niya.

While she is not looking, nagtatalo ang isip ko kung gagamitin ko ba o hindi nag sandatang lagi kong dala pero ni minsan ay hindi ko ginamit. Sumandal ako sa pader at dahan dahang inabot ito sa likod ng palda ko while my other hand is pretending to support my side area kung saan ako nabalian ng ribs.

Pagkapulot na pagkapulot niya ng string ay agad niya akong hinapas. Kumapit sa balat ko ang string dahil sa maliliit na tusok nito. s**t, para akong nadapa sa maraming makahiya.

"Okay you had enough, I don't plan on killing you on account of our friendship if that's what you call what we had. Pero this is too much." I pulled my gold gun, It's just the one pair though, hindi ko nadala yung pares niya. Good thing I installed a silencer on this one last night.

Without a second thought, I shot my impostor on the knee. I didn't wait for her to scream in pain dahil alam ko naman na she's under the pain killer drug. Basta nalang siyang nabulagta sa kinatatayuan niya.

On the other hand, ako ang napamura ng malakas dahil pagkabagsak niya sa sahig, nahila din niya ang nakatusok pa ding thorns ng string sa balat ko.

"Joana Richardson, I should have killed you when I had the chance." Ngitngit niya saakin.

"I should be the one telling you that." I smiled then I squatted sa tabi niya.

"Hindi ka ba takot na kalabanin ang organisasyon namin? Alam kong mayaman ka pero sinasabi ko sayo hindi lang pera ang kailangan mo kung balak mong pasukin ang mundo namin,"

"Again I'm telling you, I should be the one telling you that."

"Ano bang kailangan mo?"

"Nothing much, I heard two birds singing about a woman called Widowed Rose selling drugs in a university." I laughed.

"You know what, hindi mo na kailangan to since I already know who you are." Inabot ko ang dagger ko at pinunit ang suot niyang belo. After removing her cover, bumungad saakin ang muka ng least person I would suspect to be my impostor.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk you're busted...Sandra Vizconde."

"So, since when did you know?" Her expression was as black as charcoal lol.

"To be honest, I've been searching for Widowed Rose kaya nagpunta ako dito sa Wilson's. I got all students investigated pero never did it cross my mind na ikaw ang hinahanap ko. I heard a tip about your identity and I was able to confirm it dahil I saw it with my own eyes."

"You saw what?"

"Your birthmark and tattoo noong sinamahan kita sa clinic that night. At naisip ko din, what kind of a nerd are you since you are only good at chemistry and the rest of the subject? Wala legwak. You are so good at chemistry that you ended up creating amazing pills gaya ng mga ginagamit ng mga local gangsters na pain killers at strength booster na ginamit mo."

"Wala akong maalalang ginawa sayong masama, why are you doing this to me?"

"Before I answer your question, answer mine first. That night, noong nilapitan mo ako sa gabi saying that you were bullied, was it true or it was part of your plan all along?"

"I was testing you that night, kung magiging maayos ka bang cliente o hindi. Now answer my question."

I felt disappointed sa sinabi niya. Bihira lang ako maging mabait sa kapwa ko and it turned out na ahas pa ang napili ko.

"To tell you the truth Sandra, at first I was only interested in the pill. Pero ng malaman ko kung sino ang nasa likod ng mga ito, it was then na kumulo ang dugo ko. So, I am here now sitting beside you while watching you bleed to death."

"So I did something to you? How did that happen when base sa memorya ko ni minsan hindi pa kita n-nakikita? Argh." She flinched, sa tingin ko ay nawawala na ang epekto ng gamot sakanya.

"Are you sure you wanna know? Kasi kapag narinig mo na, you can't unhear it already." I smirked at her.

"I know Widowed Rose, she is a strong, scary but beautiful woman." Pft gusto kong matawa dahil mukang napasobra ata ang pagbubuhat ko sa sarili kong bangko.

"Did you know why she wears a dress that covers her whole body and a black veil? It is because she doesn't want others to see her body covered with tattoos." Nagpatango tango ako sakanya at pilit na pinaupo para magkaharap kaming dalawa.

"Argh b***h!" Hinawakan niya ang butas sa tuhod niya para pigilan ang pag agos ng dugo.

"Makinig kang mabuti Sandra okay? Minsan ko lang to sasabihin, the Black Rose Organization? Their main headquarters is in Washington. They have a branch in Boston, Chile, Columbia, Tokyo, China at marami pang iba. Also, she uses black roses to warn her targets."

Lumapit ako sa para makipag eye to eye sakanya at bumulong, "So tell me impostor, why are you copying me?"
