Hidden Mistake

CHAPTER 12

"Is it true Ms. Zurich? Tell us your side." Hunt said.

Napatingin muna si Rainela kay Hunt bago ito lumunok at sumagot.

"I-I was dragged outside of the hotel by the couples' men, but then I was able to escape when they got distracted by the hotel's emergency alarm." she stuttered.

Nakakabingi ang katahimikan kaya kinuha ko iyong pagkakataon para magsalita.

"Bakit sa lahat ng bantay, ikaw lang ang hindi nila sinaktan kung ganon? Ni isang pasa wala. " I curiously asked.

I heard gasps from the other agents. Napatingin rin sa akin ang Heneral at si Hunt. But then I didn't mind them.

Nataranta siya sa tanong ko. She looked at me like she can't believe it.

"I-I don't know. Ako lang ang babae sa lahat ng bantay kaya baka akala nila hindi ako lalaban sa laki ng katawan nila. Maybe they can also get a use of me." lusot niya.

I sighed and played with the pen I'm holding. Kapani-paniwala naman. Baka nga hindi siya sinaktan dahil baka magamit siya upang kuhanan ng impormasyon.

"Bakit dumiretso sila sa isla kung ganoon?" Hunt asked.

That's the biggest question.

"I heard Bernardi's wife telling his men to go straight on the island to ask for Yichen's help." Rainela said.

Everyone fell silent. Rainela looked at everyone. Walang kumakampi sa kaniya. Mainit din ang tingin ng kasamahan niya.

"Please believe me. I did not do anything. I'm not a spy. Please General, believe me. Cap, please."

I looked at Rainela begged. She was crying and shaking her head.

"Don't worry. We won't accuse you of something without enough evidence." Hunt assured her.

Umiwas ako ng tingin at huminga ng malalim. We can't just blame anyone. Lahat sila may pagkukulang. Hindi pwede na iisa lamang ang sasalo ng kapabayaan nila.

"We cannot undo things right now. The only thing we should do right now is to look for Rex. This is another mission." General said.

"As for team b, you'll be under investigation. That means, you will not work unless the investigation is done."

Nagsinghapan ang mga agents because of the General's decision. Wala silang magawa kundi yumuko na lamang.

"Meeting adjourned. You can have your rest."

Hinintay kong makalabas lahat bago ako tumayo at sumunod kay Ace.

Hunt was left in the meeting room with the General.

I directly went to my room to take a rest. Kararating lang ng chopper kung saan sakay sina Yudis at Red.

They will stay here in the agency for their recovery. We have complete machines and medications here kaya mas safe kung dito sila.

Hindi rin muna pinayagan na may bumisita sa kanila dahil kailangan pa silang i-check.

Mabigat ang loob ko dahil sa nangyari. In a short time, I got to meet my friends. Hindi man ganoon katagal ang pagkakilala ko sa kanila ay na attached na ako.

What happened earlier scared me. The thought of losing a friend hurts. Once is enough. I don't want to feel that pain anymore.

Nakatulugan ko na lang ang pag-iisip at nag pagod. Madaling araw na rin at wala pa akong pahinga.

Alas nuwebe na nang magising ako. I immediately went to take a shower para makapag agahan na.

Isang itim na sando at itim na pants lang ang sinuot ko. Tinali ko na rin ang aking ankle boots.
