KABANATA 6

( note: pasensya na po at hindi ako nakapag update kahapon, nag pa brace po kasi ako at hanggang ngayon ay nahihirapan ako sa ngipin ko dahil masakit. pero babawi po ako ngayon, i might drop 5-7 chapters po. salamat sa pang unawa! )

Kinabukasan ay late na nagising si Nathan.

It’s already 3 o’clock in the afternoon at kakagising niya lang.

Nathan decided to eat brunch, may groceries naman na napamili ang care taker nila kaya may maluluto si Nathan ngayon.

While cooking ay nakatingin lang si Nathan sa labas.

I want to go surfing again. Sambit ni Nathan sakanyang isip.

After kumain ni Nathan ay nag palit lang siya ng swimming trunks at napag desisyunang mag surfing.

So he did. Nilagay niya ulit ang gamit niya sa may malapit sa mga stalls.

“Hi, here’s a one thousand pesos. Keep the change.” Sambit ni Nathan na ikinagulat ng nagbabantay.

“This is too much sir.” Gulat na sambit ng babae.

Ngumiti lang naman si Nathan. “It’s not.” Sambit nito at kinuha na ang surfing board.

Nathan was really enjoying his self.

If Jayden really wants to come in Siargao ay surfing talaga ang una niyang ipapasubok.

Natapos na rin ang oras ni Nathan at nag pahinga na rin siya.

Papalubog na rin ang araw kaya maganda nanaman mag chill.

She’s really familiar. Sambit ni Nathan sakanyang isip habang nakatingin sa babaeng nakatalikod.

Nakaramdam naman ng uhaw si Nathan kaya naisipan niyang lapitan ang babaeng pamilyar dahil doon siya bibili.

“Can I have a water and a mango graham shake?” Tanong ni Nathan habang sinisipat ang mukha ng babae.

“You’re a bit familiar to me. Can I know your name?” Tanong ni Nathan at kinuha niya ang pagkakataon na bumili para makapag tanong.

Lumingon naman ang babae sakanya at medyo nagulat.

“Ako po?” Tanong ng isang inosente at nagtatakang babae.

“Yeah.” Sambit ni Nathan.

Kahit medyo nag aalangan ay sinabi pa rin ni Kali ang kaniyang pangalan.

“Kali.” Tipid na sambit nito kaya medyo natigilan si Nathan.

Kali is the name of her best friend in Siargao.

He just need to make sure that this is her.

Mukhang hindi rin naman siya namumukhaan nito kaya medyo nag aalangan din siya.

“Thanks, you’re name sounds familiar to me.” Seryosong sambit ni Nathan trying to give the girl a hint.

“How?” Kuryosong sambit ng babae.

“I have a friend here in Siargao who’s name is Kali.” Sambit ni Nathan.

“A-are you a Salvatore?” Tanong ng babae na ikinagulat ni Nathan.

Mukhang siya nga si Kali. Sambit niya sakanyang sarili.

“Yeah, I’m Nathan Salvatore.” Nakangiting sambit nito.

“Oh my gosh!” Gulat na sigaw ni Kali at napatalon saka napayakap kay Nathan.

“Long time no see, hahahaha.” Tumatawang sambit ni Nathan at ginulo ang buhok ni Kali.

“Looks like you’re a busy girl.” Sambit ni Nathan kay Kali.

“Yup, business ko lahat yan e.” Nakangiting sambit nito.

“I’m proud of you.” Bulong ni Nathan.

“Nga pala, its on the house.” Sambit ni Kali at inabot kay Nathan ang kaniyang inorder.

“Let’s talk some other day.” Nakangiting sambit ni Nathan at nag paalam na.

Bumalik si Nathan sa pinag lalagyan ng mga gamit niya at kinuha iyon saka nag ligpit.

Uuwi na muna siya sakanila dahil naka receive siya ng message kay Xaegon.

From: Xaegon ( decuple )

I need you to decode this document. Asap.

I’ll give you three days. I need that this month.

To: Xaegon ( decuple )

May ganyan si Kuya?

Alright, I’ll check it now. Nasa siargao ako so baka hindi three consecutive days ko magawa yan.

Is it okay?

From: Xaegon ( decuple )

I sent another one to your brother.

No need for three consecutive days. Just give it to me before the month ends.

To: Xaegon ( decuple )

Alright. Thanks.

Matapos ang usapan nila ay binuksan na ni Nathan ang kaniyang laptop at doon binuksan ang file na sinend ni Xaegon.

A clue to be found: Nag simula ito sa binigay na document ni Xaegon, the document says that an anonymous source or a cryptic note was left in their one of the transaction they did, detailing a scheduled meeting. The note says a very important information of transaction involving a drug shipment, high value target and debts owed to notorious mafia boss Joseph Juanco of Sovereignty Mafia from high stakes gambling.

Alam ni Nathan na kapag nalaman at nadecrypt na niya ang message na binigay ni Xaegon ay makakapag bagsak siya ng malaking advantage na kinakailangan ng decuple para maapakan at mapabagsak ang Sovereignty Mafia.

Joseph Juanco known as JJ who is an associate of Sovereignty Mafia, a notorious and dangerous mafia in the Europe. A code “Grey” is the term they used in a drug shipment, high stakes gambling and a high value target.

Decrypting the Code: "The package arrives tonight at 11 PM. Tell Joseph Juanco to meet me at the pier. Use code 'Grey'."

Nagtipa si Nathan sa kaniyang laptop, trying to decrypt the algorithms and he’s trying to analyze the patterns in the encrypted text. Finally, the code 'Grey' showed itself as a reference to a the shipment of high-grade weaponary - a critical component in the Sovereignty Mafia's arsenal building up.

Tracking Sovereignty Mafia:

Nang malaman ni Nathan ang meaning ng code grey ay sinunod na niya ang pag track sa lugar at kung saan naroroon ang mga sovereignty mafia.

Nathan applied powerful decryption resources with patience and reliability, removing the layers of encryption that were protecting the mafia's secrets. Unti unti ay natulkasan at nalaman niya ang eksaktong oras, lugar at kahalagahan ng nalalapit na pag titipon ng Sovereignty Mafia.

To: Xaegon ( decuple )

Track my laptop, masyadong delikado binigay niyo sa akin.

I’m not afraid to die but no one should know where am I.

Delikado dahil isla ‘to.

From: Xaegon ( decuple )

Alright. Goodluck Salvatore.

Matapos ang nalaman ni Nathan ay agad na niya itong ipinasa kay Xaegon.

Xaegon needs to provide another document for him to use.

To: Xaegon ( decuple )

I need another document or info about this group.

Hanggang diyan lang ang kaya ng pag dedecrypt ko sa message na ibinigay niyo.

If you want more informations and proof, send another informations.

From: Xaegon ( decuple )

You’re fúcking fast Nathan. Calm down, I’ll send you the other information once we are already in the location.

Thanks by the way.

Matapos ang pag uusap at pag tatrabaho ni Nathan ay nag desisyon na siyang mag hapunan.

Mag aalas diyes na rin kasi ng gabi at wala pa siyang hapunan dahil sa pagkabusy niya.

Calling Jayden…

“Why?” Bungad ni Nathan.

“Someone wants to talk to you.” Sambit ni Jayden.

“Tángina mo, unblocked me you motherfúcker!” Sigaw ng nasa kabilang linya kaya mabilis na nailayo ni Nathan ang kaniyang telepono sa kaniyang tenga.

“Hindi naman kita binlock? Tángina.” Reklamo ni Nathan.

“Ulól.” Tugon naman ni Ezekiel.

Chineck ni Nathan ang kaniyang telepono at naka blocked nga ang kaniyang kapatid.

“What do you want?” Tanong ni Nathan matapos I unblock si Ezekiel.

“I’ll send you another information about the Sovereignty Mafia.

“Dámn, kapapass ko lang kay Xaegon meron agad?” Natatawang sambit ni Nathan.

“This information was from me. As far as I can remember ay mag kaiba tayo ng pinagawa niya.” Sambit ni Ezekiel.

“Right, I’ll send you mine.” Sambit ni Nathan.

Gawain kasi nila itong dalawa for security purposes and another information.

Mag kaiba kasi sila ng forte ni Ezekiel when it comes to decoding, decrypting and everything.

“Nasa bahay ka nanaman ni Jayden.” Natatawang puna ni Nathan.

“He’s helping me. Bahala ka sa buhay mo Siargao pa gágo.” Pang aasar ni Ezekiel.

“At least I’m safe here. Xaegon provide a security in Siargao.” Nakangising sambit ni Nathan.

“Duwag.” Pang aasar ni Jayden.

“Nah, ayoko lang madamay tao dito. Isang buwan bakasyon ko e.” Sambit ni Nathan.
