Chapter 33

Part 33 – Forms of Beginnings

Some hours ago...

"Hindi mo ba sasagutin?" tanong ng kasamahan ng lalaki. Nasa isang pagpupulong siya ngayon. Kilala na siya bilang isang miyembro na madalas absent. Hangga't maari, nais niyang bumawi, at normal lang rin sa kaniyang hindi sagutin ang mga tawag nang natuon ang kaniyang attensyon sa caller name...

Heartbeat is calling

Napabalikwas siya ng tayo na nagpatumba sa upuang may matangkad na sandalan. Sa itaas nito ay may simbolong nakahulma.

Ang simbolo ng leader ng Science Faction.

"Science?" tanong ng isang malaghong na boses. Napatitig siya rito mula sa pagkakatulala sa cellphone na patuloy pa rin ang pag-ring. "Problem?"

"I need to answer this call, Politics." sagot niya.

"How important is that call?" tanong ni Politics. "Alam mo namang ayaw natin ng gumagambala."

Mas sumeryoso ang mukha niya. "Life and death."

Some of his co-leader snickered, others remained bored, while the rest were surprised. Sa tagal na nilang kakilala ang taong 'to, ngayon lang siya umakto ng ganiyan.

The person he called Politics stared around, looking for any disagreement, and then he said, "You have The Overlord's permission to be excused, Science."

"Thank you, I'll come back as soon as I can."

—Transcribed Call by Technology Faction Database—

Receiver: "It has been so long."

Caller: "I need your help."

Receiver: "Tumatawag ka lang 'pag may kailangan. Why would I help you?"

Caller: "Because a life who deserves a second chance is at stake. Same chance I've given you."

Receiver: "..."

Caller: "You need to go back to your Council. Your best friend is abusing his power again and he just sentenced someone to be beheaded tomorrow at noon. Huwag mong hayaan na mangyari 'yon."

Receiver: "The rest won't let it happen if it's not justified."

Caller: "Your Council is corrupt. Nahahawa na nila ang marami. This person they want to punish is just a victim of that corruption. He did kill but self-defense isn't murder. Your Council is angry because this person has sabotaged their precious project. By killing those werewolves, he was able to prevent and destroy years of research."

Receiver: "What research?"

Caller: "Poison serum."

Receiver: "They are still at it, continuing research of that drug I forbid?"

Caller: "Yes. Your best friend is now a different person. I always see hope in others but I no longer see it in him. Siya ang head ng research, kasama si Reka Smith."

Receiver: "Okay."

Caller: "Ililigtas mo siya?"

Receiver: "Yes. What's the name of this person I must save?"
