"Rembrandt Klyde!" 


I grabbed on the steering wheel before we could even collide at the back of a truck in front of us then pulled his collar tightly and towards me, he turned his head on me as tears continuously flows from his eyes. He tried speaking but no words were coming out of his mouth.


"I don't know what's happening with you but get you act together!" Matigas kong sabi habang inaalalayan pa din yung steering wheel. "I know you're scared but listen to me, okay?" He nodded and still trying to get words out of his mouth. 


"The car has been hacked and is controlled by a drone from the outside," Mahinahon kong sinusubukan i-explain sakanya. "We are running 160km/h the engine can only speed it up gradually at a time. Your brakes won't work, the only control we have is your steering wheel." He is confused, I get that, but he is still nodding like he understood everything. I am not even sure of what I'm saying right now but I know this man in front of me is scared like hell.


"Let me take over, Mr Rembrandt." Utos ko sakanya.


Tinanggal ko ang seatbelt while trying to supress my anxiety and nervousness. "Mr. Rembrandt, now!" Giit ko sakanya habang hindi pa dumadagdag yung bilis.


"M-Ms S-Sevierre," Get it together, Rembrandt. Tangina.


I pressed his seatbelt to eject and held his arm, "Ayaw mo pang mamatay diba?! Pwes ako din, now get out of your seat!" Galit kong sabi at hinila ko ang braso nito.



He then slowly let go of the steering wheel which I held on tightly to keep us stable, as soon as he lifted his body from the driver's seat, I then transferred causing the side of the car to hit the barricade.


"Fuck!" Malakas na mura ko nang humampas ang ulo ko sa bintana. Hinawakan ko muli yung steering at inayos ang position ng pagtakbo. Tumingin ako sa Rembrandt na mukhang humapas sa dashboard dahil sa basag nitong salamin at dumudugong kilay.


"Are you okay?" Tanong ko sakanya. Tumango naman ito habang sapo ng kamay niya ang nagdudugo niyang kilay. 

Celestine Abcde, you have to get it together. Hindi pa kayo pwedeng mamatay.


"Good, here's my gun," I pulled my gun from my gun holster. "Try shooting the drone above us. When I say so," With all the last gut I had, I handed him my gun.


He maybe realized the situation we are in and obeyed my words, rolling down the window after getting a grip of my gun. Bumalik ang tingin ko sa daan at nang makita ko yung ginagawang highway eight na may tunnel ay iniliko ko ang kotse doon.




"Now Mr Rembrandt!" Sigaw na pautos ko nang pumasok na kami ng tunnel at dumilim ang paligid. Inilabas naman niya agad ang ulo niya at pati ang kamay na may hawak na baril.


"Rembrandt!" Tawag ko sakanya dahil wala pa akong naririnig na putok ng baril.
