Midnight Angels: The War

Chapter 5

"Am I really just going to stand here and accept that my baby girl is talking to a guy alone in the lab?" Nakahalukipkip na tanong ni Seth kay Xin na nagtitimpla ng kape.

"Wow, nahiya naman si Jun sa 'yo. Siya nga 'yung ama at pachill-chill lang tapos ikaw ang oover-react ka." Sabi ni Baxter sa kanya at tiningnan naman nila si Jun na nakaupo sa tabi ni Xy at umiinom ng tubig. "That dude's always chilling." Sabi ni Seth at tumingin sa hagdanan para tingnan kung bumaba na ba si Blu.

"Relax, bumalik naman dun si Jayden." Sabi ni Matthew habang naghihiwa ng kamatis. Tumulong naman sa kanya sina Chloe, Celise at Shinshi sa pagluluto. "Ano na namang ginagawa ni Jayden dun?" Tanong ni Seth.

"Ayaw siyang bitawan ni Zia." Agad na sagot ni Walter kaya mahina namang natawa 'yung iba.

"'Yan kasi, drama nang drama." Dagdag ni Walter at tsaka nila tiningnan si Joshua na ginagamot ni Duke ang kamay. Duke was using the medicine kit for the first time on someone since he can't heal yet. "Pero mas nabigla talaga ako kay Josh. Grabe 'yung suntok, bro. Sabog!" Natatawang sabi ni Vernon.

Joshua just palmed his face and hid from embarrassment.

"Wait, what the hell?! Nanuntok ka po, Tito?!" Gulat na tanong ni Wilder kay Joshua. Itinapat lang in Joshua ang hintuturo sa labi niya at pumikit.

"See? Not all angels are good." Sabi ni Archer habang nakahiga sa hita ni Atlas na tulog rin at nakasandal sa couch. Team Alpha just looked at the new team. They were a set of fresh faces with different backgrounds.

To them, the new team was like their little babies, in need of training and care at the same time.

"Nagluluto ka pala, bansot?" Tanong ni Wilder kay Chloe na inirapan lang siya.

"Bibig mo, Wilder." Suway ni Xy sa kanya kaya tumingin na naman si Wilder kay Shinshi na may hawak nang kutsilyo. "Subukan mo lang kundi ibabato ko 'to sa 'yo." Shinshi warned him, not even minding that Walter was there, listening to them.

"Sige, ibato mo! Come on, baby! Hit me!" Wilder provoked him kaya wala pang ilang segundo ay tumatakbo na si Wilder palabas ng mansion habang hinahabol siya ni Shinshi. Shinshi immediately transformed into his wolf form and tackled Wilder on the ground.

Napaubo naman agad si Wilder at tsaka humarap kay Shinshi na nakaapak sa dibdib niya habang nakahiga siya sa Bermuda grass.

"G-Good doogie~" He said but Shinshi just growled. Shinshi barked at him kaya napapikit nalang si Wilder pero dahan-dahan niyang minulat ang mga mata niya't tiningnan ang balahibo ni Shinshi.

"Do you shampoo your doggie hair too?" Tanong ni Wilder at inamoy pa ang leeg ni Shinshi kaya agad itong lumayo. Wilder was a bit confused as he thought he was just petting a big dog but then realized what he just did.

"S-Sorry.." Aniya. Shinshi growled at him one more time before running back to Wolfie's house to change.

"Hey, let's make a bet." Sabi ni Walter habang nakatingin kay Wilder na pinapalo ang sarili niya.

"Gago, sarili mong anak pinagpupustahan mo." Suway ni Matthew sa kanya. Mahina namang natawa si Wilder at lumingo-lingo nalang. "Never mind. Let him suffer from his games." Mahinang sabi ni Walter at uminom ng kape ni Xin.

Mahina lang siyang hinampas ni Xin sa braso dahil inagaw niya ang kape nito.

"Sinuwerte ka lang naman kasi baliw na baliw sa 'yo si Keya at baliw ka rin sa kanya. Wilder still hasn't found her own Keya yet, brother. Let him have his time." Mahinahong sabi ni Xin kay Walter na nakatingin parin kay Wilder na nandun parin sa labas.
