The water is way too deep for her,
A place she can't escape, not even stir.
If not only for the drive for revenge,
She will not resurface again.
The forest is an endless maze for him,
A place he knows he must not miss.
He will hunt for as long as it...

Chapter Four
LYA
My phone buzzes in my hoodie pocket, and I opened, seeing the alert I set.
I inhaled the night air. Holding it for a few seconds, and exhale.
This is the moment I would strike. Bago ako magpatuloy, inayos ko muna yung aking mga kailangan dalhin. Nang makita na ayos na ang lahat, naglakad ako papunta sa isang hindi rehistradong saakyan at nag-drive ng illang minuto hanggang sa maabot ko ang building na aking papasukan.
Nilampasan ko lang muna yun, at itinigil yung lumang Vios sa isang tahimik na parking space na may iilang sasakyan lang ang naka-park. After the gallery mishap, bumalik ako ng condo to continue my research on Gino.
Four days days of tailing him and studying his routine, I was finally rewarded with his exact address.
I put on my gloves, suit, and heavy men's boots. Inabot ko yung 2 backpacks sa likod ng may mga lamang bato. Isa sa likod, isa sa harap.
Finishing my look. I discreetly went out and walked back toward the building. Tumigil ako sa front desk para ipakita roon sa security yung I.D. ko na nagsasabing part ako ng maintenance crew ng gusali. They didn't even bat an eye at me as I continue to ascend the elevators and pressed at the 24th floor. Inside, I tapped something on my phone to disrupt the live CCTV footage in exchange for an earlier video. Nang makarating sa floor, tumungo ako sa isang pinto at tahimik at dahan-dahang dinis-able yung lock at pumasok.
Pagpasok ay hinubad ko yung aking disguise at ipinasok sa loob ng mga backpack. Then, I left them at the entrance and slowly walked inside. Careful to make my steps light kung sakali may kasama siya.
Wala akong ibang galaw na naririnig sa loob, pero sinilip ko pa rin yung kwarto kung may tao ba roon o wala. The only thing I could hear id the shower running.
Just glad that it is only Gino and his messy unit. Noong narinig ko ang pagpatay ng tubig, nag-ready na ako para sunggaban siya at atakihin. Mas mapapadali siguro ito kung may dala akong taser o pampatulog, pero I have to do this the hard way.
Just as Gino came out with a towel around his waist, my knife comes down, slicing him against his thigh. Napasigiaw siya ng malakas, and I realized na kahit gaano ako naapektuhan sa usapan namin ni Killian kahapon, ay wala akong pakialam sa mga sigaw ng lalaking nasa sahig ngayon.
Gino clutches his meaty thigh, as if naman matutulungan nun mawala yung sakit na nararamdaman niya ngayon. Yung pag-galaw niya ay nagsanhi ng kanyang pagkahubad.
Kadiri naman.
Pero yung reaksyon niya? Beautiful.
Hinintay ko kung makakaramdam ako ng pag-aatubili sa ginawa ko, pero walang dumating.
