Hindi ko sinabi kahit kanino na bumalik na ang malakas kong pang amoy. I tried my best to not let them notice. Mas lalo na sa mga taong involve sa project. 

Pinatawag ako ni Doc Vlad para pag-usapan ang susunod naming gagawin upang umusad na ang project.

To be honest ayoko na talagang maging parte ng project na ito, but there's something I need to find out about kaya nandito padin ako.

Sa mga nakaraang linggo, I noticed how Doc Vlad's scent changed. I can't really determine kung anong amoy meron siya pero it reminded me of the people in the hospital.

Yung pag pasok mo palang sa hospital, maaamoy mo na yung mga chemicals doon kasama ang mga amoy ng taong may sakit.

There's something going on with Doc Vlad and I need to find out what it was.

I've memorized his schedules, kung kelan siya wala sa kanyang office at kung kelan siya nandun.

I've also memorized the routine of his secretary. Bio-breaks, lunch break, mental health break, at iba pang oras at araw na wala ito sa office.

I planned to break into Doc Vlad's office and find something like a document or file related to the project and why he was omitting such odor.

If my theory is right, the folder which was labeled ProjectVXC was not the only folder containing the said project, dahil may kaamoy itong ibang folder na naaamoy ko kapag nasa loob kami ng office niya.

Inabangan kong umalis ang secretary niya bago ako tuluyang pumasok sa office ng Doctor. Hinayaan kong nakabukas ang pinto para maamoy ko kung may paparating na tao.

I closed my eyes and focused my nose to the different scents of his office. I walked slowly from each corner of his office before stopping beside his desk.

The scent was similar to Doc Vlad's scent. Meaning, ito ang lagi niyang hinahawakan.

I found the drawer to which the scent was coming from, and to my surprise it was open.

My heart was beating rapidly dahilan kung bakit nakakaramdam ako ng kaba ngayon. I didn't know why I was nervous. Nang makuha ko ang folder na kaamoy ni Doc Vlad, umupo ako sa swivel chair niya bago ito binuksan.

Binasa ko ang loob ng file na yun at sobrang nalungkot ako sa nakita ko. It was Doc Vlad's personal file. It had all the days in which he tested chemicals and serums on himself just to know if it would work.

He had several allergic reactions and mini cardiac attacks as a result of some of the serums he took. May mga araw din na nilagnat ito ng sobra pero he never once ask someone's help regarding this.

Sa kapal ng file na ito, halos mga experimentations on completing a certain serum ang nakalagay. At lahat yun ay isinubok niya muna sa kanyang sarili bago ipasubok sa iba.

He didn't gave a serum to a patient kapag hindi niya ito siguradong gagana. He also took note about some certain allergies of his patients and how they would possible react to each serum.

Na amoy kong paparating na ang secretary ni Papa kaya nagmadali na akong ibalik ang folder sa kung saan ko ito kinuha.

Sa kamamadali ko, may nahulog na isang page na agad ko naman pinulot.

I took a quick glance of the paper and was shook to find out that Doc Vlad was diagnosed with Lung Cancer. He acquired it because of too much exposure to the different chemicals he handled just so he could complete each serum for the clients he had.

Ang pinakamasakit pa dito ay, he only had a few years to live. Kaya siguro minamadali niya kaming gawin ang mga nakaindicate sa ProjectVXC.

Narinig ko ng papalapit ang secretary kaya mabilis kong ibinalik ang folder sa drawer ng table ni Doc.
