Dance With The Villain

Selena.

Just like what Carla had predicted the dance is really a head turner. Pagkapasok na pagkapasok palang namin sa loob ng gym ay nalipat na sa amin ang tingin. We really dressed to impress this night, and we did impress them more than we expected actually.

Surprisingly maganda ang kabuuan ng gym, the light was dimmed at parang halloween ang theme nitong dance in the shadows na pakulo ng school.

"Sayaw lang ako, Sel." Paalam nito. Party Rock was currently on play right now at nakatingin lang ako sa pag-p-flicker ng lights. They actually did good for tonight.

Nakaupo lang ako dito sa table na nakalaan para sa amin nila Carla habang nagsasayaw sila sa dance floor, my brother Sander is MIA. I don't know where he is exactly but he sent me a message na lalabas lang muna siya. He was never a fan of parties and probably never will, unless it would be an undercover mission.

I was too caught up with watching the people dancing when a masked man, ofcourse we all wear masks, approached me.

"Do you want to dance?" Tanong nito sa akin at inilipat sa akin at sa dance floor muli ang tingin.

"No offense," sabi ko rito and studied his face. Hindi talaga siya pamilyar sa akin.

"None taken." Agad namang sabi nito, as if reassuring me.

"But do I know you, Mr?" Tanong ko rito not really wanting someone to be offended by my words. But his reaction was far from what I had expected, instead of frowning, he smiled and scratched the back of his head like a shy type of kid would do.

"Oh, I completely forgot. I'm sorry. With you being stunning in that dress and all in front of me, lahat ng prinactice ko kanina nawala. Did I already said you look gorgeous tonigh? Had I? Oh, I'm babbling? Am I? Okay, let me start my introduction again. My name is John Smith." Sabi nito.

Sa ilang buwan na nagsimula ang pasukan, wala akong nakilalang kung sino na John Smith ang pangalan.

"Well then, John Smith. Nice meeting you, I'm Selena. Shall we go dance?" Sabi ko kaya naman in-offer na niya iyong kamay niya para makapunta na kami sa dance floor.

Mabuti nalang at hindi masyadong crowded iyong dancefloor kaya naman maluwang iyon and we choose the far side para hindi masyadong maka-caught ng attention.

"So tell me, John Smith. Is your name really John Smith? 'Cause you know I've watched Hitman: Agent 47 way too many times," tanong ko sa kanya kaya naman sa pangalawang pagkakataon ay sumilay muli ang ngiti sa kanyang mga labi.

"I don't even have an excuse for that, so no. My name isn't really John Smith. Its Liam Cordova, I'm part of Syndicate Carlyle Program. I came here to fetch you and your brother, I need you to come with me." Sabi nito kaya naman mas lalo akong naguluhan.

"Whoa! Slow down there. At paano naman ako maniniwala sa'yo? Mr. Cordova? And what is this Syndicate Carlyle Program?." Sabi ko rito.

"The Syndicate Carlyle Program is a group of individuals, powerful individuals, that secures the safety of another individual they are assigned to look after. We are given missions to fullfil. This Syndicate is not the kind of syndicate where in we transport drugs, no. Its way more different than that. And I, I am assigned to protect you." Sabi nito, as he said that. Hindi ko alam kung nasagot nga ba ang mga katanungan ko o mas nadagdagan lang ito.

All this informations are confusing me. Hindi ko na alam kung anong paniniwalaan pa ba ako o kung may dapat pa nga ba akong paniwalaan. Everything was just so messed up right now. I didn't want this kind of life. I wanted the normal one, where you can wake up in the morning and you're just an ordinary 17 year old girl that gets wasted at parties and have friends.

I didn't wish for any of this to happen.

"Protect me from what exactly?"

"Sa mga taong nakabangga ng mga magulang mo when they are investigating about something, tinigil na nila iyon pero dahil sa marami na silang nalalaman sa kasong iyon ay hindi sila tinigilan ng mga taong iyon. They are trying to kill them, and they were about to use you but then you're parents seek help to the syndicate and that made the man trying to kill both of you turn their backs. As I said, a while ago. The Syndicate is powerful."

"We planned everything. From your parents' disappearance, the files about the punisher, everything that had happened to you and your brother so far is all part of the plan. Our boss, the head of the organization had been watching you through monitors. And to see that you've come this far, Galvez wants you to officially join the Syndicate."

"Wait, what? And who is Galvez?"

"Galvez, is the head of the organization." Sagot niya sa akin.

Magsasalita na sana ako pero hindi ko na tinuloy.

"Selena, I really need you to come with me right now. Because if you don't, you might die tonight and everything your parents did will be gone to waste. See that man, 7 o'clock." He said, so I used seven o'clock as a navigation to locate where the man is.

"Isa lang iyan sa mga tauhan ng mga taong gustong patayin kayong dalawa ng kapatid mo. They are just around here somewhere." Sabi nito.

"Can I really trust you, Liam?" Naninigurong tanong ko sa kanya.

"Yes." He said without blinking, looking right into my eyes. Hinawakan ko rin ang pala-pulsuhan niya kaya naman sa pagtibok pa lamang niyon ay alam kong katiwa-tiawala siya.

"How about my brother?" Tanong ko sa kanya.

"I already talked to him, kanina lang. He is already in the car, he'll drive us out of here."

"Well then get me out of here." Pagkatapos kong sabihin ang mga katagang iyan ay hinila na agad niya ako at sabay kaming tumakbo hanggang sa naalerto iyong lalakeng tinuro niya kani-kanina lamang at nagsalita ito at akmang hahabulin na kami pero mabuti nalang at nagpalit ng kanta at medyo maganda-ganda yung beat kaya naman nagsipuntahan ang mga estudyante sa dance floor and luckily we got out of the gym.

Hindi alintana ang suot kong 5 inch heels ngayon sa paraan ng pagtakbo namin. Hanggang sa tumigil kami sa tapat ng isang sasakyan. Its Audi R8. Agad akong pumasok sa passengers seat since Sander is already inside, driving us out of here just like what Liam said, pero nagulat ako nang pagkaupo ko sa loob, beside me was Bryce Alonzo.

At nang maramdaman ni Liam ang pagkalito ko ay siya na mismo ang nagsabi.

"He's part of the program." Sabi lang nito.

"So where are we going now?" Tanong ko naman habang mabilis ang pagpapatakbo ni Sander sa sasakyan hindi alintana ang mga red lights na nalalagpasan namin. Mabuti nalang at walang kung anong sasakyan ang sumusunod sa amin.

It was a clear escape for us.

"We are going to be free." Makahulugang sabi ni Liam.

Free.
