CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE

"Finally, we've been waiting for you," Narinig kong sabi ng isa nyang kasama. Naguguluhang tumingin ako dito habang kunot na kunot ang aking noo.

Hindi nila kami isusumbong? Bit it seemed as if saw the confusion in our face because they gave is a smile.

"I'm Gia, she's Sheena and He's Bench. You're looking for the cure recipe, right? Follow us," Sabi nung pumigil sa akin kanina- si Gia. I nodded my head. Ngunit nagdadalawang isip pa ako kung sasama ako.

Is it alright if we trust them? What if they frame us- I mean, they will offer us to Mr. Francisco Fajardo in exchange for their lives?

"Matagal na namin itong hinihintay," Nakangiting sabi ng lalaki at para bang pinapaalam nya sa amin iyon. Tumingin ako kay Ash, nagtatanong kung sasama ba kami sa kanila. Right now, I need his decision... a confirmation only because if I were to choose, I would follow them.

Need ko lang ng kadamay mula sa desisyon ko. The more, the merrier, right?

Lumapit sya sa akin at bumulong. "Wala naman sigurong mangyayari kung sasama tayo sakanila diba?" He whispered only as I nodded my head. He's right.

Humarap ako kila Gia at tumango. Gia smiles at me, and she's the one who opened the door. The door that we were about to go earlier. Palihim kong tinignan sila Farrah na palakad-lakad sa paligid ngunit nakatuon ang mata sa amin. I signaled them to stay at their place because, truth to be told, we haven't trusted this group yet.

Pagbukas ni Gia ng pinto ay bumungad sa amin ang napaka-busy na mga scientists. Halos parang naghahabol sila ng oras. She motions us to follow her, so we did. Pumasok kami sa isang pang pinto kung saan walang katao-tao, ngunit may mga may mga tubes na malalaki dito. The size that a human person can be placed into.

I looked around and saw that the CCTVs aren't functioning. I looked at the group who are leading us into this place. They must be the ones who turned it off because... maybe they've noticed us earlier.

Tumabi sa akin si Gia.

"We can talk now. Ang hinahanap nyo ay ang cure recipe kaya nag-sneak out kayo dito, tama ba ako?" Tumingin ako kay Gia, ang nagsalita, nagdadalawang isip kung sasabihin ang aming plano.

I looked at Ashton as I saw him nodded his head. I sighed heavily and looked at the woman again. "Can we trust you?"

"Of course, just like you, we want to end this madness too," Her smile is genuine, yet her eyes held seriousness when she said it. And that's enough to calm me down.

I nodded my head. "Our friends that got caught," with just these words I've spoken, they looked as if they got defeated.

Bigla silang nalungkot. "Sad to say, some of you were already placed at the test tube," Mahinang pagkakasabi nito na para bang ayaw iyon bigkasin, habang ako naman ay nanigas sa aking narinig.

Pakiramdam ko'y nabingi ako ngunit rinig ko pa rin ang malakas na pag ugong ng aircon sa paligid, nagbibigay ng lamig sa nanlalamig ko ng katawan.

Pakiramdam ko'y binuhusan ako ng napakalamig na tubig na dahilan upang mamutla ako at mawalan ng dugo sa katawan.

We're too late. We're fucking too late.

Lives would be lost...

But it isn't because they became zombies.

But because a fucking human monster decided to fuck them out.

Tears fell from my eyes like a waterfall as I looked around the place. Hindi ko ito masyadong makita dahil napapalibutan ito ng makapal na lab smokes ngunit nang makalapit kami rito ay tsaka lamang namin nakita ang mga nasa loob nito.
