Blank Space (A ViceRylle story)

The Boys

A/N: Hi friends! I'm sorry because I broke my promise. This was supposed to be posted last Saturday, 28th of March, but due to my slight memory loss, nakalimutan ko. May kailangan akong puntahan last Saturday and I forgot that it was important kaya ayun, I wasn't able to post this chapter. It's summer vacation na and hopefully makapag-update ako as often as possible. Ayun, here's my promise na medyo nadelay. Hope you like it...

Buhat noong mabasa ni Billy ang message ni Vhong, pinadala nya ang message details sa headquarters para matrace kung nasaan si Vhong.

COLEEN: Agent W33, Agent X44’s location is not far away from you. It is less than two kilometers away from the mansion.

BILLY: Can you send me a picture of the map? Yung tracked location ni X44.

COLEEN: Okay. I will send it to you immediately.

BILLY: Thanks.

COLEEN: Oh, Agent W33, you might need a boat to get to Agent X44’s location.

BILLY: What do you mean?

COLEEN: You’ll know it later. Just check the photo that I sent.

BILLY: Alright.

COLEEN: Keep safe, Agent W33. Out.

 

Billy immediately checked his phone and nakita na nya ang mapa. It says there na ang location kung nasaan si Vhong ay nasa isang maliit na isla sa Taal lake. Nag-iisip si Billy ng paraan kung paano sya makakapunta sa islang iyon. Good thing, naalala nya ang mga barkers na nag-aalok ng boat ride to Taal Volcano. So, he drove to the town proper.

BARKER: Boat ride kayo, ser?

BILLY: Sige kuya. Magkano?

BARKER: Trenta po isang tao.

BILLY: Sige. Sasakay ako.

BARKER: Ihahanap ko lang po kayo na bangka na mapupuno na para makaalis na.

BILLY: Hindi kuya. Kahit mag-isa lang ako, ayos lang.

BARKER: Ser, lugi po kami noon. Lima pong pasahero sa isang bangka.

BILLY: Babayaran ko yung apat. Please lang kuya.

BARKER: Sige po ser. (calls out the bangkero) Nestor! Isama mo si ser! Sasakay daw sya!

BILLY: Salamat kuya (gives tip)

BARKER: Salamat po ser. Sundan nyo nalang po si Nestor. Yung nakadilaw na t-shirt.

Habang bumibyahe sa bangka, sinabihan ni Billy si Mang Nestor na doon siya ibaba sa isang isla malapit sa bulkan. Noong una, ayaw pumayag ni Mang Nestor dahil restricted area iyon at isa itong private property. Pero nang alukin ito ni Billy ng mas mataas na tip, pumayag na rin ito.

Sinenyasan ni Billy ang bangkero na umalis na. Mapuno ang lugar pero pagdating sa kalagitnaan ng isla, mayroong isang cottage. Medyo maliit lang ito pero maganda pa din. Hindi mukhang abandoned. Once he got in, he checked for pieces of evidence. After investigating and checking the place out, napunta na sya sa cellar.

BILLY: Hello? Is anyone here? Vhong? Helloooo?

VHONG: Bil--- Billy!!!! (hugs Billy)

BILLY: Jeez Vhong! Ang baho mo! Look at you! Pumayat ka na and nagkakabigote’t balbas ka na rin. Ang haba na rin ng buhok mo. What the hell happened to you?
