Chapter 9
Criminal
Things went so fast for Paige. Wala siyang kaalam-alam kung bakit siya nakauwi sa Pilipinas ng ganon kabilis.
Paige woke up the next day, in an environment that is not familiar to him.
Mag-isa lamang siya sa kama. Mahimbing ang kaniyang tulog kaya hindi na niya alam kung paano pa siya napunta doon.
His belongings were nowhere to be found. Ang tanging natira na lamang ay ang kaniyang mga damit at iba pang mga importanteng bagay.
The room was small. The solo bed were enough to fill the room and one small cabinet beside the bed. Maliit at masikip. Kakaiba din ang amoy ng kwarto.
He went to the door. He was trying to open it but he failed. It was locked from the outside.
Nilingon niya ang bintana sa harap nang makarinig siya ng mga hiyaw. From the window of the room, he saw men without upper shirts doing their morning exercise. They were soldiers!
From the looks of it, he is in a room on the second floor of the building. And from the outside, this is a military base!
'What am I doing here?'
'Where is Rafael?'
Binalikan pa niya ang pinto pero hindi parin niya iyon mabuksan.
Natataranta na siya. Agad niyang hinalungkat ang kaniyang maleta sa gilid at bigo siya ng makita wala na doon ang kaniyang ibang mga gamit. His phone is nowhere to be seen!
Gusto sana niyang tumawag ng tulong.
Bumalik siya sa pinto, ngayon ay pinaghahampas niya na iyon.
"Hello!" Sigaw niya sabay hampas ulit sa pinto.
"Anyone?! Let me out of here!" Sigaw niyang muli.
Ilang minuto pa ang lumipas na ganoon ang kaniyang ginagawa hanggang sa may dumating.
The person didn't open the door, iba sa expectation ni Paige.
"Do you need something?" It was a male voice from the other side who spoke.
"Please open the door!" Sigaw ni Paige.
Natahimik ang nasa kabila. He didn't spoke for a minute.
"Open the door!" Naiinip na saad ni Paige. Halos masugatan na ang kaniyang kamay sa kaniyang ginawang paghahampas sa bakas na pinto.
"I'm sorry, but I can't." Saad ng lalaki.
Narinig ni Paige na mayroon pang dumating.
"Is he awake?" Tanong ng dumating. Babae na ngayon ang nagsalita.
"Yes." Saad ng lalaki.
"Good. Brief him about what's going on." Saad ng babae bago umalis.
"Please let me out!" Sigaw muli ni Paige.
Tumikhim ang nasa kabilang pwesto.
"Why can't you open this goddamn door!" Saad ni Paige. Galit na galit na siya ngayon, takot at labis na taranta ang kaniyang nararamdaman.
"Tegan Paige Montero." Saad ng nasa kabilang parte upang mapatahimik si Paige.
"You are under arrest as the suspect for being the leader of an organization that smuggles illegal firearms from Italy to the Philippines and you are under the suspicion of being involved in human trafficking."
