Part 2 "Dos"

Izeiah's Pov

I really found myself thinking deeply if I have really gone silly. Then I found out that I am now very silly. I am no longer the nerd that everyone thought was smart.

I am no longer worthy.

I was about to continue my melodrama when I vaguely felt someone had their gun pointed at me. I blinked at Ivan who looked indifferent then swiftly turned around in hopes to catch the one who has their eyes on me.

They wouldn't fire the gun, it's an open field. No one would do that

However, I underestimated their courage because as soon as I set my attention on them, the bullet was already coming towards me. But those bullets were slower than I expected that I could blink 20 more times as I watched it.

I didn't even move, but I found the bullets already flying back to thenm. I turned my attention to Ivan who only looked at me and gave me a smile.

"Huwag kang gagalaw."

The bullet pierced through the person's ankle and it made the person have jelly legs. I quickly ran over to their side to see the face of the person who tried to kill me.

Pero bago ko pa maabot ang maskara nito, nagsalita siya.

"Nakalimutan mo na kami, iyong kamahalan." His voice contained hatred and I feel that he is sneering at me. I didn't talk. I let him continue for I really don't have any idea what he was talking about.

"Hindi mo na yata maalala na kami ang nagdusa sa desisyon mo." Unti unti siyang tumayo and although, it was such a small action, I saw him do a sign.

"Sino ka?" Tanong ko na sanhi ng biglaang pagtawa niya.

"Nakalimot ka na talaga. Tandaan mo, ang posisyon na ito, na nasaakin, ay kinikilalang Gythe." Tapos tumawa nanaman siya at nakita ko sa mata niya na may balak siyang gawin... o sabihin. I don't know. I'm not him.

I'll just wait.

"Baka gusto mong tanungin ang ate mo kung ano ang File na tinatago niya?"

Ate Hina? Ano ang kinalaman niya dito? At anong file ang sinasabi niya. Hinintay ko siyang ituloy ang sinasabi niya pero hindi na siya nagsalita tungkol dito.

"Iyong kamahalan, sapagka't natapos na ang trabaho namin, ako'y aalis na. Sana sa susunod na magkita tayo, merong pulang tubig ang umaagos dahil naghahanap na kami ng paglagyan." And with that, he left accompanied by a sniper snooping not far away from here. I couldn't move because I'm currently not prepared and there are too many possible casualties. I will definitely have an earful had I continued to pursue because the clan would have to clean up after my mess and furthermore, they would also gain enemies since a few heirs would've been killed.

Unless they were skilled enough.

Nung nawala na sa paningin ko ang nakamaskarang tao ay saka ko lang napansin na may mga bala ang nahulog. Gumamit yung tao ng silencer kaya halos walang tao ang nakapansin pero I know na yung CCTV na nakapaligid sa school ay nakuha ang barilan na naganap.

The bullet was oddly familiar. It had an engraved mark of a snake. Hold on, this is the Robinson's insignia. Why do they have one?

Is there also a traitor in the clan?

I hid the bullet in my... I don't have a pocket. I grasped it in my hand and thought about what the person said.

Ang file na tinatago niya.
