Napahinto ako ng may marinig akong putok ng baril sa labas. It is very suspicious because no one would dare kill someone just right infront of my house, and silencers here are very cheap. Kinuha ko kaagad ang aking handgun at tumakbo palabas habang maraming scenario ang tumatakbo sa isipan.

Then I saw Chase, lying on the floor, badly hurt. Then another shot of bullet which I wasn't able to stop from coming to his direction. He was on the edge.

Holy fuck, I should have been more sharp.

Nilapitan ko siya at binuhat ko ng konti ang kanyang balikat at ipinatong saaking hita. Bumubwelo ng lakas para buhayin siya at ipasok sa bahay upang magamot.

"Hey, can you still stand up?" I asked him.

Itinaas niya ang kanyang isang kamay at hinimas ang aking pisngi.

"Shithead, there's no time for that, tell me can you stand up or not?" Iritado kong tanong sakanya dahil alam kong dadramahan niya ako.

"I can't, help me please." Aniya't tumango ako at buong lakas siyang binuhat habang nilalagyan ng pressure ang tama sakanyang tiyan. Mas kritikal iyon kaysa tama sa kanyang balikat.

"I'll fucking kill whoever did this to you." Nanggagalaiti kong sambit habang ihiniga siya sa sofa.

"Wait here, I'll get my first aid kit." Paalam ko at nagmadaling kunin ang first aid.

Humiyaw sa hapdi si Chase nang buhusan ko ng alcohol ang kanyang sugat dahil nililinis ko iyon bago tanggalin ang bala.

"Huwag mong alisin ang bala. Posibleng mayroong lason iyon." Biglang sabi saakin ni Chase. Napataas naman ang kilay ko sa sinabi niya.

"What? You've been gone for a while, we improve every minute and almost 80% of gun users here use bullets with poison that'll trigger once na tinanggal sa katawan ng binaril nila." Pagpapaliwanag niya. May diin sa pagkawala ko ng matagal.

"Fine, I'll call Cindy." I said.

"Don't." Sambit naman niya.

"I need to call her, you're condition is far from good!"

Hindi na lamang siya umimik kung kaya't tinawagan ko na si Cindy, ilang ring lang ay sinagot na niya ito.

"Did you do it?" Malamig kong tanong kay Aunt. Kailangan ko man ng tulong niya ay hindi parin maaalis ang suspetsya. Everyone's a suspect.

"Did what?" She asked, confusion is very evident in her tone.

"Who the fuck shot Chase?" I asked, still with rage.

"I don't know, ask him!" Iritado niyang sagot saakin. Tumango naman ako.

"Fine then help me get an antidote for him."

"You need help from me?" Tila natatawa niyang tanong saakin.

"Yes." I answered. I need to lower my pride. Chase's life is at stake here.

"May malaking kapalit ito, I'll be there in your house within five minutes." Aniya't binaba na ang tawag. Napaupo naman ako sa sofang katabi ng hinihigaan ni Chase.

"I told you not to get help from her." Nanghihina niyang sambit. Tapos ko nang lagyan ng pressure ang sugat niya sa tiyan at balikat. Huminga naman ako ng malalim.

"She's still my Aunt, even if she's very suspicious I need to trust her." Pagpapaliwanag ko sakanya.

"You know we could get help from him." Sambit ni Chase at umiling ako ng marahas.

"Fuck no, Chase. Besides, ehat the hell did you do to get shot?" Kuryoso kong tanong sakanya.

"What did I do, or what did you do?" He mindfucked me.

"But Cindy wanted me to, she said that I need to."

"That's why I told you not to get help from her." He irritatingly said to me and closed his eyes.

"But we need to get you treated, okay? Hush now and reserve your energy." Pinal kong sambit at natahimik na kaming dalawa.

Tumayo ako nang marinig na mayroong nag-doorbell. Malamang ay si Cindy na iyon.

"What happened to your dear fiancee?" She asked me in an amused tone. I rolled my eyes at her and let her in.

"I need to get an antidote, and you need to vacate Chase from here and get him treated." I commanded Cindy. She looked at me and gave me a sly smile.

"Sure, but this would cost big, okay?" I only nodded. Sa mundong ito, lahat may kapalit.

"I'll go ahead and find whoever did this to Chase and fucking kill them myself. Tale care of Chase." Paalam ko kay Cindy.

"Take care, you need to be alive for my favor." Hindi ko na iyon pinansin at nagtungo na lamang kay Chase.

"We'll see each other again soon, be strong and trust no one else. I won't change my mind." I said to him and kissed his cheek.

"I hope you won't. Take care Love, I'm sorry for the trouble." He said to me. I shook my head, disagreeing to what he said.

"I'm sorry for causing you trouble as soon as I came back. I'll get this over and be back." I said and left the house with my important things with me as I dial someone's number.

"You know that I brought a group, right? Train them." I asked the person I was talking to.

"Sure but why me? Not you?"

"I'll be gone and busy for a while." I answered.

"Really, why?"

"It's about Chase." matigas kong sabi at ibinaba na ang tawag. I'm itching to kill the bastardo who done that to Chase.

Someone's Point of View:

Agatha, looks like a weak spot has grown into you and I've hit jackpot. My first move is done, but I won't stop there. I'll make you feel the pain. Slowly but painful. How I wish your mom can see how painful you ate living your life right now. It would have been more amusing.
