"Yurja 'iiblaghna bialmaelumat alty jamaeatha ean al'ayam althlatht almady."
(Please report to me your collected information for the past three days.)
It was Isaac talking to their informant in Zawiya. His team just arrived two hours ago. Nagpapanggap siyang sibilyan na dumadaan lang sa isang bangketa
"Sayakun hunak tahdid biwujud qunbilatin. Samiet dhlk min alhaqibat."
( There will be a bomb threat. I heard it from a courier.)
Ito ang inaasahan nilang lahat. Pero wala pa ring kasiguraduhan ang location ng bombing. Limang malalaking siyudad ang dapat nilang bantayan at aminin man nila sa hindi kulang sila sa man power.
"'ayn?"
(Where?)
He's hoping na sana alam ng taong ito kung saan ba iyon magaganap.
"La 'aerif 'ayn , walakun sayakun yawm 01 yuniu."
(I don't know where, but it will be on June 01.)
Napatango siya sa nalaman. May ilang araw pa silang natitira para malaman kung saan.
"Hsnana , satakun hadhih musaeadatan kabiratan lana. Hataa almarat alqadimat bal."
(Okay, that will be a great help to us. 'Till next time pal.)
Napansin ni Sasa na napakamot ito sa batok at bahagyang nahiya. The man was wearing an enigmatic smile. Hindi niya mawari kung ano bang gusto nitong sabihin.
"Madha?"
(What?) Ang di mapigilang tanong niya sa informant na kaharap. Isaac was a serious type of man kaya medyo nailang siya nang ngumisi ng pagkalaki laki ang lalaking kaharap.
"Hal yumkinuni altawaquf ean aleamal min 'ajlaka? La 'urid 'an 'usharik baed alana. Shaeart zawjati bialqalaq min hadhih alwazifat wahi hamil bialfael. Nahn bihajat 'iilana alaistiqrar fi makan 'akthar amanana. Wamal 'ana tatafahamuu."
(Ugh... Can i stop working for you? I don't want to be involve anymore. My wife was worried sick about this job and she's already pregnant. We need to settle in a safest place. I hope you will understand.) Sa di malamang dahilan napangiti rin siya. Siguro kung siya rin ang nasa lugar nito, parehong bagay ang magiging desisyon niya.
"Nem , la bas w mabruka. 'Adhhab 'iilaa tarabulus awlaan , sayunqiluk rijali 'iilaa musra. 'Amma balnsbt liwazifatik almumtazat , fasawf nadfae lak bishakl eadilin. Faqat kun amanaa waqul tahiati lizujatik waqaribana 'an takun tiflana."
(Yeah, it's okay and congrats. Go to Tripoli first, my men will transport you to Egypt. And as for your excellent job we will pay you fairly. Just be safe and say my greetings to your wife and soon to be child.)
Nangunot ang noo ng lalaking informant."Min 'ant bihaqi aljahim ya rfaq? 'Ant last shurtat libiatan wala libia. Aljaysh. earafat dhlk mundh albidayat , 'ant la tabdu libii aljinsiat hataa alrajul al'uwal aldhy tahadath maei."
(Just who the hell are you guys? You're not a Libyan police neither a Libyan military. I knew it from the start, you don't look like a Libyan national, even the first guy who talked to me.)
Isaac just stared and shrugged at the confused guy in front of him. He shooked his head and turned his back and started to walk to the opposite path.
Iniwan niya ang naguguluhang nilalang sa gitna ng isang magulong street ng Zawiya at umakyat sa rooftop ng isang building. Tanaw ang kalakhang siyudad mula sa kinatatayuan niya.
"Negative." He talked to his earpiece kung saan nakakonekta rin ang iba pang kasamahan.
Bacchus was their tracker and the line was connected to the main source, their commander-in-charge, Ariadne.
"Negative also." He heard Cassius' voice which was in Tripoli.
"What about Shi and George?" Tanong ni Bacchus sa kanya.
