"Let's go," si Trison nang binuksan ang pinto ng front seat habang tulala ako roon dahil sa iniisip kong nangyari sa hotel.
He put the cap on my head as I wore my shades again. Parehas kaming nakaputi ngayon. Some of the buttons on his dress shirt were opened, so the tattoo was a bit peeking.
Papalubog na ang araw. Nasa Batangas na kami at may pinuntahang lugar na hindi na naman pamilyar sa akin dahil masyadong liblib. He ditched the car again and parked it somewhere.
Hinila niya ang nakatakip na tela sa hinintuan naming garahe hanggang sa tumambad ang itim na Chevrolet Camaro niya. He opened the door of the back seat and took the plate number as he put it on the bumper. Wow. I can't believe that... he's really doing the small details just to not get caught.
Binuksan niya ang front seat at iginalaw ang ulo nang tingnan ako, pinapasakay na ako roon.
"Black Jaguar. Seems like the head of that private armed group has found your location. Check the Ferrarin. She's probably wearing any device that she's been tracking down." Ang tinig ng lalakeng pamilyar noong pumasok si Trison sa driver's seat at sinagot ang tawag.
Which means... Arkaine has seen my messages! Yey!
"How many players were there?" Trison asked, which I didn't even understand at all. "How about that head of the military?"
"Negative. It seems like this woman is faster than them. Check your captive's body. She must be hiding something," the man urged.
Bumaling si Trison sa akin, nakaangat saglit ang kilay.
"I already did earlier. Negative," he said nonchalantly.
Namilog ang mga mata ko. Did he... what? He... used that opportunity to find something in me?
Para akong binuhusan ng tubig. Ang akala ko, sa oras na iyon, naisahan ko siya. That I was finally on top of him, conquering him, but all along... he only lets me sit, and I'm on top because he puts me there. Not because I overpowered him.
Oh damn it!
"Really? Search more?" the man chuckled.
Trison laughed a little. "Fuck you."
Pinatay niya ang tawag at tumingin sa itaas ng salamin habang lumiliko na sa isa na namang shortcut.
Seconds later, I saw a Jaguar tailing behind us. Pinaharurot agad ni Trison ang kanyang kotse.
"You and your clan are always a pain in the ass." Iling niya sa kanyang sarili.
"Because you're on the wrong side, Mr. Serrano," I said tauntingly.
"Really? What? Is this the woman's card? That women are always right?" He glanced at me once, maneuvered his car to the left side, looked at the rear view mirror, and glanced at me again.
Sa halip na sagutin iyon, namangha ako. There's a threat chasing after him, but he's always calm, and he's confident he'll escape the Jaguar, which, if I'm not mistaken, is Arkaine.
"At sino bang nasa tama ngayon sa ating dalawa?" tanong ko nang maalalang nag-uusap pala kami.
"Your kiss tastes like you'd tolerate me..."
Humalakhak ako. "Talaga?" nanunuya kong tanong.
"Yup..." Saka niya muling tiningnan ang salamin.
"Edi... mauuto pala kita?" Ngiti ko.
Bumaling siya saglit, tila ba may naalala sa sinabi ko.
"So... that wasn't a real kiss?" he confirmed.
