DETECTIVE FILES. File 2 (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 26: A RISKY REUNION (SEARCH CHAPTER)

"Hug yourself Alonzo", sagot ni Gray and he looked away. He mumbled something like 'wrong timing' or so I thought.

"Nah. I'm gonna get that hug of yours from special A", he said and to both my and Gray's surprise, Khael pulled me and slammed me against his body. He didn't hug me from behind, instead he gave me a real hug. Khael's always bold on what he felt but he didn't take advantage of me, a thing I admire about him. I'm not saying that Gray took advantage but they're the exact opposite.

Khael always tells me about how he admires me but he never do gestures like hugging or kissing me due to how he felt. Well yeah, he hugged me but it was when he was surprised to see me at Athena as the exchange student. As of Gray, he never told me how he felt about me yet his gestures spoke it all.

"Uhh." Khael grunt and he sounded hurt at agad siyang napabitiw sa akin. "What was that for?", he asked Gray while holding his side. I saw Gray's fist clenched. Did he just punch Khael's side?

"My way of saying I missed you", sagot ni Gray and I almost screamed when Khael punched him on his gut too.

"I missed you too Silvan", sagot nito. I both scowled at them. Uh, anong klaseng utak ba ang meron sila? Bumaling si Khael sa akin at tinanong ako. "Where are you going Special A?"
Tiningnan niya ako mula ulo hanggang paa. Oh, they've got problems with my all black outfit? Ayokong sabihin sa kanila ang tungkol sa naisip kong search and rescue operation for Phobie. I knew that they would object to it. Iisipin nilang mapapahamak lamang ako.

"Don't tell me you're doing something dangerous again?", Khael asked. "Are you planning to search for Phobie?"

I looked at him intently. Naikwento ko nga pala sa kanya ang tungkol doon except for the notebook part. I slowly nodded my head.

"Special A, the reason why I summoned Silvan here is to help me in finding her,  you don't have to engaged yourself in such danger. We can handle—"

"Khael she's my roommate and whether you liked it or not, tutulong ako sa paghahanap sa kanya. Isa pa ay masyadong delikado ang paghahanap sa kanya. It involves so many risks and I can't leave it all to you", sagot ko.

"If you're referring to those drugs, I knew all about it. Silvan told me about it. Isa pa, I'm the one who stole the notebook from Zywon and —"

"Just as I thought."

Sabay kaming napalingon sa nagsalita and we saw Zywon. Prenteng nakasandal ito sa isang puno at nakatingin sa amin.

"Hello, old buddies", he said sarcastically. "It's not nice to see you again, especially you Silvan. It's a reunion. Shall we open some champagne then?"

Whatever his grudge for Gray is, hindi pa rin ito nakaka-move on. I wonder what it was all about. Umaandar na naman ang pagiging pakialamera ko but all I want is to help them get back as friends again.

"Deltran", wuka ni Gray. Sumeryoso ang mukha nito as he looked at Zywon.  "What are you doing here?"

Bahagyang humakbang si Zywon palapit sa amin but he maintained a three steps away distance. "I should be the one asking you such question. You don't belong here in Athena anymore, oh. Sorry. My bad. You owned Athena right? So basically, you have all the right here. How rude of me, disrespecting a mafia heir."

Napaamang ako habang nakatingin sa kanya. He knew that much about Gray's involvement at mafia? Si Khael nga ay hindi halos makapaniwala dati but Zywon's so sure about it. Did he have a thorough investigation about it?

Bumaling si Zywon kay Khael at tiningnan ito ng masinsinan. "As of you, give me back the notebook.".

"No way! That was for me, you stole it from me on the first place!", singhal ko kay Zywon at napabaling ang atensyon niya sa akin.
