I understand why Enki left the Queen with Fourth even though they're enemies. He must've realized that Fourth will not bring any harm to the Queen 'cause he needs something from her. He needs her to know the location of their Rook. And Enki knows that between the two of them, mas dehado si Fourth. If the Queen will kill him, then they will win this game.
I looked at L who was beside me at the backseat of the car. He was holding my hand but his face looked so serious. It's usual for him to be silent but there's something in the air that made me feel heavy.
We didn't find the Rook. I promised them that I'll bring him back pero hindi ko naman nagawa. I felt so bad. Ang dali kong nakagawa ng paraan para makuha sa kanila ang Rook pero wala akong maisip para maibalik sya.
The Queen is definitely hiding him somewhere I couldn't find. I get it. I actually underestimated her. Hindi nya itatago ang Rook kahit na sa akin kung mahahanap ko naman through hacking.
And it seems like even the EL Ordre's King is making a move just to find their missing Rook.
"What happened to your wounds?" L asked. Nakakunot ang noo nyang tinitigan ang bawat mga sugat ko. Particularly the one on my thigh.
"I did it to myself." I said. "Para mas maniwala sila na pinahirapan nyo ako."
Pero hindi naman naging effective. The Queen knew that I am betraying her. What should I expect? Hindi naman sya magiging Queen kung madali syang lokohin.
L sighed and pulled me towards him. Pinasandal nya ako sa dibdib nya at hinalikan ang tuktok ng ulo ko.
"It's gonna be okay." he whispered.
Tumigil ang sasakyan sa tapat ng isang magarbong bahay. It has a layout of blue and white which made it look like a nice and cool home.
Nandoon na din si Aius at Archer paglabas namin. Nauna silang nakarating dito bago pa sa may-ari ng bahay. Mabilis silang nakarating kaya ibig sabihin ay alam na alam nila ang papunta dito. Looks like madalas silang magpunta dito.
Agad na lumapit sa akin si Archer pagbaba ko pa lang. Hinigit nya ako palayo sa grupo. I thought that he's going to say something confidential and important and it really made me nervous. Pero nang magsalita sya ay hindi ko na alam ang sasabihin ko.
"I have to tell you something." he said. Bulong na lang ang salita nya. "Hindi soundproof ang mga kwarto sa bahay ni Tracer."
Napatingin ako sa kanya. He looked so serious pero alam kong nagbibiro lang sya.
"Ginawa lang naman ni L na soundproof ang mg kwarto sa bahay nya dahil ayaw nya ng maingay." he continued. "You know how silent your man is." he smirked. "Pero kung ikaw ang maingay, ibang usapan na 'yon."
"Archer!" inis na suway ko sa kanya pero tumawa lang sya nang malakas. Naiinis akong bumalik sa tabi ni L.
Shit! Why did I ever think that he'll tell me something important? Mukhang puro kalokohan lang yata ang alam nya! Behave sa asawa nya pero kapag sa mga kaibigan ay parang asong pakawala!
Tracer opened the door to his house and tell us to go in. Nag-aalangan pa nga ako sa pagpasok. I feel like I don't have any rights to go inside their house. Kami tuloy ni L ang huling pumasok. Hindi naman ako pinagsarhan ng pinto ni Tracer so I am welcome, I think?"
"Hey..."
I heard a very soft voice and my eyes immediately found its owner. Standing before us is a woman with a baby in her arms. She has the most beautiful pair of blue eyes I've ever seen. Her wavy hair made her look like a princess. I've seen her picture before. At mahirap makalimutan ang mukha kung ganoong kaganda.
