Behind Those Lines

01: Wrong Side

Hindi na ako nakaiwas at nadaanan ko na ang lalaki. Pero laking gulat ko nang wala akong naramdamang kahit ano. Ang buong pag-aakala ko, masasanggi ko ang lalaki pero 'di naman pala. I was wrong again. Double kill. Tiningnan ko siya at napansin kong hindi naman siya mukhang gumagalaw. May parang minor distortion na nangyayari pero hindi ko na pinansin iyon. His body is very big, even his posture is very saluting. Palapit na ako ng palapit sa kanya at akmang hahawakan ang mukha. But I was interrupted by Mr. Alafox's hands, holding my wrist and forcefully pull it towards him.

"I thought you want me to tour you, what's wrong?" he asked with authority. It is scary, scary as hell. That caused my body to stiffen in his sudden gesture. I just nod and follow his steps in the hallway. As I was walking through the isle, there are many things bothering me.

Unang-una, yung mga nasa glass compartment. Grabe naman yung mga nandoon and If I estimate everything there, maybe it sums up to hundreds, maybe thousands. It is so impossible, for a man to recieve those honorings that are specifically named to him.

Pangalawa, ay iyong mga guards. Yes, they are very stiff, bold and amended. BUT there is something that activated my curiosity regardless of those mens' frightening aura. Earlier, when I thought I hit the the man, I saw little glitches in his arm. Like, what the H*CK?!? Namamalikmata lang ba ako, o sadyang nahihibang na talaga ako? What's wrong? Masyado ba akong napasobra ng wine kaya nagkakaganito ako? Masyado ba akong napuruhan nung hypnotist na sinasabi ni Mr. Fox? Hindi ko na ala~

*shhhhckkkkkk (sharp feedback)

"*ehem* am I late or something?"

babae? bakit may babaeng nagsalita?

"-simulan mo na!"

"Okay chill..."

"Hi Mr. Alphaire Gonzales."

WHAT!? A-ako?! What is it again this time?

"I must say, he already entertain you with his very presence," the women uttered emphasizing the word 'presence' full of sarcasm. "Tsk~ you are in the wrong side."

Wrong side? anong wrong side?

"And you Mr. Alafox, we meet again and this time you are so done to me."

Mr. Alafox widened his eyes na para bang nagulat sa mga nangyayari. I saw his hands trembling, his shoulders stiffened, and his breaths became uneven. Tanging 'sh*t' lang ang lumabas sa bibig niya.

"Kailangang na nating umal-"

Before he even finishes his words, there are some glitches around us. Our surrounding is fading like a new painted wall splashed with water. And in a blink of an eye, the beautiful floor became a dark, lifeless, abandoned building. No bright lights, neither wind passing through. Wala.

Aakalain mo ngang zombie apocalypse ang nangyayari sa mga oras na 'to. My mind is too preoccupied right now na hindi ko na namalayang may mga tao ng nasa harapan namin. And they were wearing the same black suits I saw when I was going to the airport.

Three. There are three unidentified people walking towards us that made the man beside me walk backwards as well. I again shifted my gaze towards those suited people which I assume having their grand entrance in a big GRAMMYS Awards.

Two men, one woman. I assume na siya yung babae ang nagsalita kanina through a speaker or something. At napatunayan ko iyon dahil biglang nagsalita ang babae sa 'kin.

"Good evening, Mr. Alphaire Gonzales," She said ending it with a big and alluring grin. Nilipat niya naman ang kanyang tingin kay Mr. Alafox. And said, "and Rene Andrade." Naging seryoso naman ang itsura nito matapos niyang tignan ang katabi ko. Kanina ang saya niya, ngayon para siyang papatay ng tigre sa titig niya. How fast.

Nanginginig na si Mr. Alafox, or Rene Andrade rather dahil siguro sa tensiyon na dala noong tatlong taong nasa harapan namin. "H-how come d-did you f-find m-me," halata sa kanya na kinakabahan sa sitwasyon namin ngayon.

"You don't have any ways to escape. Surrendering is the only way to spare your useless life," sabi nung lalaking naka salamin. He is very aggressive towards the man beside me. Mahirap din ma-distinguish ang emosyong gusto niyang iparating. Poker face ika nga.

Bigla kong naramdaman ang sakit sa aking braso nang biglang may nang hatak sa akin. I felt a big arm clasped to my middle torso harshly. But what made me more nervous is this tiny syringe almost touching my neck's skin. Paminsan-minsan nadadangil kaya para akong kinukuryente sa bawat nadidikit sa'kin ang malamig at matulis na metal.

"HAHAHAHAHA!"

Okay, seriously. What's with this people?! They're all crazy! I thought this man was nervous and now here he is. Laughing.

"You fools. This one contains 5 ml. of Concentrated Pancuronium. What do you think will happen to him," tanong niya sa kanilang tatlo.

"He'll die because the serum will make his lung muscles paralyzed that can cause Diaphragmatic paralysis, then he'll die," the other man stated calmly. WOW!!! Kalmado pa siya sa mga oras na 'to ha...

Patuloy parin akong kinakabahan sa mga oras na ito. Ni hindi ko nga alam kung mabubuhay pa ako after a minute.

The last man who spoke is giving us a very stern look. And then he looked down for a bit and returned his gaze to the person behind and said, "Then do it."

I was shocked to the statement. Very shocked.

"Sige gawin mo," he said loudly. "I don't care what will happen to him. I just need you to rot in jail. That's all."

No!!! Did he just... Please save me!

"Wh-what?! H-hahaha. Did you just gave up this very important person?" he asked and I know he is confused, so am I. "H-ahahaha! shut up yo--"

~packkk~

The person who technically hostaged me is now lying over the floor. Sleeping. What happe-

"Ohhh, sorry. Am I late? hehe,"

Siya yung babaeng nakabangga ko sa airport! Siyang may sinabi saaking kung ano-ano.

She looked at me, smiling, "And it is nice to meet you again my friend."

She is walking to my position. Maybe she will make me sleep agai- NO!!!

"Good night."

~snap~
