[Chapter:30] (The Search)

Blade

It's been a week since Nicolas went missing and we're still searching for him up until now. Sinabi rin namin kay Val ang nangyari kay Nicolas. Nagulat ito at nagpaulan ng tanong sa amin. She even questioned why did we save Calles in the first place? Why did we risked our lives for her? Is she that important? And we have the same question.

At simula ng iligtas namin ang babaeng yun ay hindi na ito umalis sa tabi ni Val. She takes care of her while she was in the hospital, resting and now she's at the mansion chatting with our Lady. Mukhang nagkalapit ang dalawa simula ng aksidente at hindi narin kinukwestiyon ni Val ang babae, hindi katulad noong unang nag kita sila.

Nabalik ako sa reyalidad ng mapansing titig na titig sa akin si Val. I was assigned to be her personal bodyguard until Nicolas is found. "What are you thinking so deeply, Blade?" She asked.

I shrugged. "Nothing much, milady." I answered.

Pinanliitan ako nito ng mata. "I told you to stop calling me like that. Val will do."

"We are at the mansion, milady. It's required to address you like that."

"Shut it, I'm just Code friend." Anito at inirapan ako. "Anyway, can you come with us? We're going outside, I need some fresh air. I've been locked in these huge mansion for days now and it's really suffocating me."

"I've been strictly ordered to not let you go outside, milady." I said making her frown. "But, I guess I can disobey it, if you really want to go outside." I added making her smile brightly.

She clapped her hands and tugged Calles with her, upstairs. Bago pa ito mawala sa mahabang hagdan ng mansyon ay tumigil ito at sinilip ako. "We'll just get ready." She said, grinning from ear to ear.

I smiled at her reaction. It's been a while since I saw her this lively, she was always quiet nowadays and she's been always talking to Calles and Night only. She even refuse talking to Melissa, one time. I guess Nicolas disappearance changed her. I hope it's just temporarily because I like the old Val. Always smiling and joking around.

Habang nasa taas parin ang dalawa ay tinawagan ko sila Zylo para iimporma na lalabas sila Val. "We'll be right there. Just wait for us for a minute and we'll take care of everything." Zylo said before hunging up.

I shrugged my shoulders and waited for their arrival. And true to his words they arrive in a flash. Napatingin naman ako sa hila hilang katawan ni Jeremy. It's one of the guards outside and he's unconscious while being dragged by Jeremy.

"What did you do to the guards?" I asked.

"Well, if she wanted to go out, she has to be unseen. Blaze and Knight took care of the cameras, so we're good to go." Pagsagot ni Zylo.

Napailing na lamang ako sa narinig. "We could've have just use the underground route, you morons." I hissed.

Napakamot naman sa ulo si Jeremy. "I forgot about that." Nakangiwi nitong sabi. Binatukan naman siya ni Wolf. "I told you it's not a good idea."

"Well, it's too late now." Ani Zylo habang napapailing rin. "Take that body outside, Jeremy. We cannot afford, milady, seeing that body you're carrying." Tumango naman si Jeremy at hinila palabas ang katawan. Sakto namang bumaba sila Val. Naka-cap si Val habang may suot na itim na jacket.

"Everything's ready?" Tanong nito sa akin pagkababa. Tumango ako. "We're taking the underground route so they can't detect us." Napatingin naman ito kila Zylo na nasa likudan ko. Kumunot ang noo nito. "Sasama kayo?" Tanong nito.
