Chapter 55: Hide and Seek

Erol's POV

Masked B*st*rd:
She saw my bare face. Xanxus ran after her in the rain. Please find her and make sure she's okay.

Napatayo ako sa nabasa kong mensahe ni Midnight.

"Vongolas! Find the Tenth! She's last seen in the upper part of the Academy! She's upset but do not harm Dreyar if you see them together! It's not his fault. He's trying to help her" anunsyo ko sa mga kasama ko na nakapagpalingon naman agad ng lahat sakin.

"So that's why Zeus suddenly felt gloomy?!" komento ni Angelo.

"Micks, find her!" mabilis na utos ni Zeus sa mga guardian niyang kasama namin ngayon. Mabilis silang nagsilabasan ng kwarto ni Gray. Naiwan lang si Zeus na parang wala ngang lakas na tumayo. Violet Star stayed on his side.

"I wanna help! Lady Zoi needs me!!" sinubukang tumayo ni Gray pero pinigilan siya nila Caleb.

"We'll bring her home. Calm down and stay here. Makakadagdag ka lang kung ipipilit mo" seryosong sabi ni Light.

"Let's go!!" seryosong sabi ni Tenj saka naunang lumabas.

"Will you be coming, kid?" tanong ko sa bunsong kapatid ng boss ko.

I just thought that if she's upset, one of her brothers would be the easiest and best way to make her feel better. And seeing that her twin isn't in the mood to search for her, Angelo is the only option left.

"Can I ask why was she upset?" napatigil ako sa paghahanda papalabas nang tanungin yan ni Angelo.

Everyone is focused on finding her that no one stopped to consider what might have upset her except for her brother.

"They had a misunderstanding, her and her friend" mahinahong pagsagot ko pero nakita ko ang pagdilim ng mga mata niya.

"Will you be okay, Zeus?" tanong niya sa kuya niya habang tumatayo.

"Find her for me, Gelo. She's breaking down right now" mahinang bilin pa ni Zeus.

"Let's go" aya ko saka kami lumabas ng kwarto. Wala kaming imikan hanggang sa makalabas kami ng ospital.

"Where are you going?" taas kilay na tanong ko nang makitang sa ibang direksyon siya papunta imbis na sa kalsada para makasakay kami papunta sa upper part ng academy.

It's pouring lightly but the wind is a bit strong so it'd be difficult to move around.

"Go on ahead. I'll search for her after I talk to someone" nagpipigil ng inis na sabi niya. I don't know why but I had a feeling that I should follow him and let the others look for the tenth.

I stood there for a few seconds looking at the road, and at Angelo's back until I sighed. 

"Wait for me!" habol ko sa kanya.

"Hey, it's me" medyo huminahon ang boses niya nang may kausapin siya sa cellphone niya. "Where's your cousin?" napansin kong sinusubukan niyang kontrolin ang galit kaya nagtaka ako kung sinong kausap niya pero nanatili lang akong nakasunod sa kanya.

It all made sense when we entered a building I recognized as the building where I have sent and picked up my boss several times before.

"Why are we here?" tanong ko kahit may ideya na ako kung bakit kami nandito. Hindi niya ako pinansin at dumiretso kami sa front desk.

"The Angels are expecting me. Angelo Rodriguez" inip na sabi niya sa staff.

"We'll be confirming your visit. Please wait for a while" nakangiting sabi naman nung babae saka nagdial sa telepono nila.
