"Aiden..." I whispered in horror, My hands covering my mouth.
"Anong nangyari?" I asked. Aiden stood up and frantically ran towards us.
"Hindi... Hindi ko alam. Nagising nalang ako dito..." Aiden cupped his face and sobbed.
"Oh god..." Tears started to form in my eyes while I stared at Aiden.
"Tumayo ka na diyan." Narinig kong sabi ni Chain.
"Get up, Aiden. Now. We have to get out of here." Chain forced Aiden to stand up.
"Hindi ko kaya, Chain... Iwanan niyo nalang ako." Aiden continued to cry.
"Iwanan niyo nalang ako, Detectives. Hindi ko pwedeng iwan dito si mama..." Lalong lumakas ang iyak ni Chain.
He looked at us as if he's hoping I somehow know what to do.
"I dont-" I gulped.
"We have to go... Aiden."
"Anong gusto nitong gawin ko? Iwanan lang ang bangkay ng mama ko dito?!" Galit na sigaw niya.
I stared at Aiden with pity.
"We have to go. The best thing we can do for her and everyone who died, Is to fight. Tara na, Aiden." Mariin kong sabi.
Aiden breathed in and wiped his tears. He stood up, His lips are shaking.
"Ma, Im sorry." Aiden looked at us.
"Ano pang hinihintay natin?"
"Ano ba ang plano niyo? Tatakas nalang ba tayo o haharapin natin sila?" Napatigil kami dahil sa tanong ni Aiden.
I heard Chain sigh. I know what he's thinking. I know he prefers the first idea but he knows what's right.
"Chain, Escaping is a temporary solution. They're gonna do worse things if we don't put a stop to this now." I said. He looked at me and then at the ring on my finger.
"What other choice do I have?" Tumango kami ni Aiden.
"Kailangan natin ng pulidong plano. Parang compromised na itong building, Guys. We can't just get out of here." Sabi ni Aiden.
"First, We don't split up." Chain said and looked at us.
"It's safer together and if we don't plan on escaping,"
"We go up." Tumango kami ni Aiden.
"Who ever is behind all of this, Hindi naman siguro sila lulugar sa ibaba ng building."
Chain started to go up the stairs, So Aiden and I followed.
"Here's something. Other than the three of us, Did you both encounter someone that could possibly be either Scarlet, Morse or Acros?" Tanong ni Chain.
"I met Morse. I slashed him in the face, In the kitchen before you found me." Chain nodded.
"Aiden, Ikaw?" Umiling si Aiden habang hinihingal na dahil sa hagdan.
"No. Magisa ako bago niyo ako mahanap."
"I was with a nurse pero hindi ko sigurado kung si Scarlet ba iyon." Sabi ko.
"I was also with a nurse but she broke character. She got angry and left." Sabi naman ni Chain. Tumango ako.
"That could be Scarlet. Did you recognize her?" I asked. Chain shook his head.
"Maybe? She looks familiar but not enough for me to recognize her."
"Kung nasugatan mo si Morse, Nakita mo yung mukha niya, Detective?" Tanong ni Aiden. I nodded.
