Versailles Series Book 4: The Bodyguard [COMPLETED]

CHAPTER 50

=== P A T C H ===

How long were we inside? I don't know. All we did was fight for our lives.

Everything was the same from the arena I came from. These f*ckers are still operating exactly the same from years ago.

As Winter instructed, we just waited for the exact moment where we will be destroying the place. We've infiltrated the others and now were down to our last.

When we heard the loud boom inside, we knew Winter is finally coming to get us.

As we did in the previous places, we are the ones that helped evacuate the people before helping in the gunfight.

"That's 500 for me." Narinig kong sabi ni Luis na nasa tabi ko.

Lumingon ako at binaril ng minsanan ang paparating na tatlong lalaki.

"That's 523 for me. Well, I have my tummy ready for that free lunch of yours."

"Bitch is good." Nakangiting sabi nito.

Paglabas namin ay nakapameywang si Winter sa amin. "What did you guys do there? We were waiting."

"We just finished off our bet. Luis owns me lunch. A big one." Proud na sabi ko kay Winter.

"Let's get you guys out of here. Talk about that after you finished your rehab."

Sa mga ganitong kalalaking misyon, kailangan naming mag-undergo ng rehab sa ayaw at sa gusto namin.

The organization wants us to stay fit and healthy physically and mentally. Sinisigurado nila na walang nagkaroon ng post traumatic disorder sa amin bago kami magbakasyon o pumasok sa bagong misyon.

Nang makasakay na kami ng eroplano pabalik ng US ay saka lang ako nakatulog ng maayos. Hindi maganda ang kondisyon sa loob ng mga arena kaya hindi talaga mahimbing ang tulog namin.

When we got back to the HQ, naligo na ako ng matagal-tagal. I missed taking a warm and long bath.

Nang matapos ako ay pinuntahan ko na ang locker ko. I pulled out my stuff. Sinaksak ko rin ang charger ng phone ko para makapag-charge. I learned a few days ago that we've been out of the radar for almost two years kaya siguradong drained na ang phone ko.

When I opened my phone after charging, I literally stopped breathing. I almost forgot what I'll see when I open up my phone.

Kylo.

Kumusta na kaya ito? He probably moved on already. He might be married now.

I smiled bitterly. As it should. Hindi ba iniwan ko nga ito dahil gusto ko itong magkaroon ng mas maganda at tahimik na buhay.

I closed it up. Saka ko na lang siguro papalitan kapag okay na rin ako. I will let myself see him longer.

Like what Winter planned, we were sent to the rehab location right after. We will be spending the next four weeks there before choosing to take on another mission or to take a vacation.

Kaya naman pagkalipas ko ng apat na linggo roon nakapagdesisyon na ako.

"What? Did I hear that right?" Tanong ni Winter sa akin.

"Yes. A vacation. I'll take a month off."

"Who am I to stop you? I've been asking you to take one since forever."

"Blah, blah. Yeah. I'm taking it now."

"So where will you go?"

"Hawaii."
