Chapter eight: Visitor

"That's her?" Mataray na tanong ni Riley.

"Yes, that's her." Sagot ko, at tumingin kay Maeve na naiilang sa presensya ni Riley. Lumapit si Riley kay Maeve at inilahad ang kamay.

"Riley Kendra Hendrix, and you are?"

"Maeve Acuazar po. Nice meeting you." Sagot ni Maeve at ngumiti. Riley just nodded and again faced our direction.

"'Yun lang talaga pinunta ko dito. At sabi ni dad pumunta daw kayo later sa company. We have a new task for you."

"Why can't you just tell us now?" Tanong ni Hailey.

"Kaunting impormasyon lang ang alam ko, I don't know every single detail. Kaya mamaya kayo pumunta." Lumabas na siya ng bahay namin.

"What an entrance." Sabi ni Calyx at natawa kaming lahat.

"Sasama ba ako?" Tanong ni Maeve at tumingin saakin bago kay Cassian.

"Can she come?" Ryota asked.

"Do you want to come? 'Di ka namin pipilitin kung ayaw mo." Tanong ko.

"I want to come." She said, tumango nalang ako.

"Magbihis na kayo." Sabi ni Hailey at umakyat sa sari sariling kwarto.

"Ito na ang inaabangan nating new mission." Sabi ko kay Ryota habang nagsusuot ng boots.

"Yeah," wala sa sariling sabi niya. I snapped my fingers in order to get his attention.

"Love, you're spacing out." Sabi ko.

"A penny for your thoughts?" Sabi ko at lumapit sa kanya.

"Nothing, we just received death threats." Casual niyang sabi like a death threat isn't a big deal.

"What?!" Sigaw ko. "How are you so calm about this? Paano kung may magpadala ng hitman dito at patayin ka nalang. Sino 'We'? Sino ang nagbibigay nito?" Sunod sunod kong tanong.

I heard him chuckle, "mas kabado ka pa kaysa sa aming tatlo. Calyx, Cassian and I have been receiving these threats. Hindi pa namin alam, pero isa lang ang nasa isip namin."

"Okay sino?"

"When you guys first appeared in Halton University. You saw us outside right? Nagbibintangan kami sa isa't isa kahit light's out na. Remember that we are four right?"

Unti unti kong naalala yung scene na yun.
