S.I.A.T.T. Series Book 1: The Armed Princess

Chapter Thirty

Kassandra Odessa Rickshaw Foster

That was her best friend's full name. How can she forgot about it? She was used to calling her Kassie Foster and never did mind about her complete name.

That's why Kramer Rickshaw doesn't ring a bell to her. She knew Kassie's brother as Odyssey and not as Krae.

Hindi niya alam na Dessa pala ang palayaw ng kaibigan para sa kuya nito. Kay tagal niyang hinanap ang pamilya ni Kassie at ang kagustuhang makilala ang kapatid nito.

She doesn't have any idea that he was just so close, and was just standing in front of her all along.

Dahil nagulat siya sa nalaman at hindi niya alam kung ano ang dapat niyang maging reaksyon ay mas pinili niyang umuwi muna sa bahay niya.

Masyado nang magulo ang isip niya sa mga nangyayari at hindi na niya alam kung ano ang uunahin niya.

She tried calling her twin but she was not answering her phone. So she ended up alone in her room.

Nagulat pa siya nang dumalaw sa kanya si Warner.

"How did it go? Was it a success?" Tanong nito na ang tinutukoy ay ang naging operasyon nila kanina.

"Yes it was." Tipid niyang sagot.

"Why are you sad? Did something happened?" Pag-aalala nito.

Umiling lang siya at saka yumakap rito ng mahigpit.

She just wanted to have someone to be there for her at the moment. She wanted to feel a bit of peace, now that she was feeling weak and low from the chaos she was dealing with right now.

"What's bothering you? You know you can tell me anything. I can keep secrets, even if it will cost me my life." Anito habang hinahagod ang likod niya.

Lumayo siya nang bahagya at tumitig sa mukha nito. She can see that he was serious with what he had told her.

Can I really trust you with my secrets?

Bulong niya sa isip.

"I was just confused on what should I feel right now. Yung matagal ko nang hinahanap na kuya ni Kassie, nagkakilala na kami."

Nakwento na niya kasi rito ang lahat ng tungkol sa kaibigan noong nasa isla pa sila.

"Then you should be happy right? You found him already and now you can moved on from that."

"I really don't know if I can just moved on now. Akala ko pag nakilala ko na ang kuya niya ay matatahimik ako kahit papaano. Pero ngayon na nalaman ko na kung sino siya ay mas lalo lang bumalik lahat ng sakit nang mawala si Kassie. Lalo na nang malaman kong pati siya ay nasasaktan at hindi pa rin nakakalimot hanggang ngayon. Na kagaya ko ay patuloy pa rin siyang naghahanap sa kung sino man ang gumawa  noon sa kapatid niya. At ang pinakamabigat pa roon ay ang malamang naging katulad ko rin siyang agent para makapaghiganti." Pinahid niya ang mga luhang patuloy na lumalandas sa kanyang pisngi. "Krae is Kassie's brother."

Nagulat din ang binata sa sinabi niya. Pero nakaramdam siya ng paggaan ng pakiramdam nang niyakap siya nito.

"Then I think it's time for you to quit your job. Why don't you resign as an agent and live a normal life with me? No more dangerous mission and no more life threatening situation for you. I'll take care of you from now on." Anito na nagpabigla sa kanya kaya't mabilis siyang napaatras habang naitulak niya ito nang bahagya.

Napakunot ang noo nito sa naging reaksyon niya.

"I can't do that. I just can't quit my job and leave everything behind when things were too crazy right now. My team are falling apart and then someone knew about the person who killed Kassie. We need to find out who it was." Sabi niya habang palakad lakad siya roon.
