Comrades in Action: Chase Vonn Book 6

Chapter Thirty four

Please read. This is very important.

Kung nabasa niyo ang PROLOGUE na sinulat ko sa umpisa ng story ni Chase, please DISREGARD it. Binago ko ng konti ang context ng story. So kung magho-hold on kayo sa PROLOGUE na iyon, rest assured, malilito lang kayo.

I have taken it down. So just accept the chapters as it is, accept the character's lines and their reasoning as it is.

Soon, everything will fall into place.❤️😊

"So, how was the tour?"

Naglakad siya hanggang sa balcony ng kanyang condo. Ipinatong niya ang hawak na mug ng kape sa mesang naroon at saka umupo. She adjusted the phone in her ear.

"It was fantastic!"

"Hm. That's what I thought. So, this week will be your last week for the concerto, right?"

"Yup. We'll be ending it here, in New York."

"Good, so I expect you to attend my daughter's birthday next week." Paalala nito na ikina-ungol niya.

"You know what, visiting you would have been a lot more easier if you have only chosen to reside here in New York."

Isang halakhak ang pinakawalan ni Brooke sa sinabi niya. "Come on... it is Patrick's home country. Besides, this place is wonderful. Give yourself a few weeks here and this place will definitely prove itself to you."

"No thanks. England is really not my thing. I'm more of a... New Yorker type of girl."

"Do you think I don't know that? So, nextweek? Riley's really excited to see you. Palagi ka niyang binabanggit."

She grinned at the mention of her goddaughter. "Of course. And tell Riley I will bring her the best gift ever, she'll be soaring to the moon."

"Gift? What gift? Had you two been talking lately? Caye, if you're talking about that puppy she'd been begging me to buy..." Ang nagbababalang wika nito sa kanya na ikinangiwi niya.

She completely forgot she's not supposed to tell her!

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh my god! You're really planning on giving her one!"

"Brooke, relax. It's just a puppy. Besides, I'm sure Patrick will approve." Tukoy niya sa asawa nito.

"You got Patrick on this too?"

Ooops.

Naulinigan niya ang pag-door bell ng kung sino sa labas.

"I got to go. Someone's at the door."

"Wait, Caye! We're not done yet!"

"Bye, Brooke! See you in a week!"

Iyon lang bago niya ibinaba ang tawag. Naglakad siya palapit sa pinto at saka binuksan iyon. Natigilan siya ng mapagsino ang kanyang bisita.

"Good evening, Ms. Lopez."

She gave her visitor a curt nod. "Good evening." Bati niya bago niluwagan ang pinto. "Come in, Detective Hart."

----------------------------------

Napabalikwas siya sa kama ng tumunog ang kanyang cellphone.

Groaning, he reached for it and answered it without checking who the caller is. Marahil ay isa sa mga residente niya ang tumatawag at kailangan ng kanyang instruction sa isang pasyente.

"Hello?"

"Thank god, you picked up."

Mariin niyang ipinikit ang mga mata ng mapagsino ang tumawag. Now he regrets not checking the caller ID first. Balak sana niya itong patayan na lang ng telepono ng magsalita itong muli.
