Lorelei

WE'RE still here in the Execom office. Kaming apat lang ang naririto, si Jamie, Al, Loki, at ako. We're waiting for Maggie since sinabihan nya kami na may meeting daw after ng classes namin. Loki being Loki, tatakas na naman sana sya kung hindi ko lang sya kinaladkad papunta dito.

We already know who's Moriarty, and we're near on taking down Augustus. But something happened that makes our plan destroyed. Augustus died. Hanggang ngayon ay pala-isipan saamin kung sino ang pumatay sakanya.

But Augustus left us more confused because of his last words. According to Loki, Augustus is trying to say that Stein is a successor and not a subordinate. For short Moriarty is not a person but a crown or position that can be pass.

Until now, I'm still trying to process everything in my mind. I'm still shock. I can still remember Gus' face forcing himself to breathe.

Pero ngayon ay hindi na yon ang bumabagabag sa isipan ko. There's another person—or should I say 'Friend'— that occupied my mind.

Is she really one of them?

"Lorelei, are you listening?" 

Napa angat ang tingin ko kay Maggie na ngayon ay nakatayo na pala sa harap. Hindi ko man lang napansin ang pag pasok ni Maggie, my mind is too preoccupied.

Napabaling naman ang tingin ko sa paligid ko, everyone's looking at me. Even Loki. They're probably thinking why I'm spacing out.

"You okay?" Tanong saakin ni Al na katabi ko, tinanguan ko lang ito at nginitian.

"Sorry, I'm just thinking of something. You can continue" Sabi ko kay Maggie na tumango tango lang pero hindi parin inaalis ang tingin saakin.

Maggie was about to talk when Loki suddenly burst out laughing.

We weirdly looked at him, si Maggie naman na mukhang nainsulto dahil sa pag putol ni Loki sa sasabihin nya ay masamang tiningnan si Loki. Ngayon ko lang din napansin na wala pala dito si Rye, probably running some errands.

"Loki dear, ayos ka lang?"

As expected from Jamie alam kong si Loki na naman ang inaalala nito. Nagtaka pa ako kung bakit tinanong ni Jamie si Loki kung okay lang ba ito. Saka ko lang na realize na Loki is not the type of person who'll laugh because of nothing. Kahit nga ata gaano pa ka funny ang joke ay hindi ito tatawa.

"I'm fine." Tumatawa paring sabi nito saka umayos ng pagkakaupo at tumingin saakin. The laughing Loki ends there, dahil pagka lipat na pagkalipat ng tingin nito saakin ay agad na sumeryoso ang mukha nito.

"You're thinking about what Lori? Maybe you're thinking of my brother that much that you're spacing out." Sabi nito habang magka dikit ang dalawang kamay.

Really? Hindi talaga nito isusuko ang Lore-Thor ship nito? Ngayon palang sinasabi ko na, Lubug yon.

"Oh My God Lori, you have a crush on Luthor?" Sumabay pa si Jamie na ngayo'y may mukhang nang aasar. Looks like Loki isn't the only one who ships Lore-Thor.

Umayos ako ng upo at ipinag krus ang mga braso ko.

"I'm thinking about something that may lead us close to taking down M's Organization. And your brother is out of the frame."

Tumingin ako kay Maggie na tahimik lang na nakikinig saamin. I signaled her to continue.

But it seems like this day is really against Maggie. Because for the second time she was cut off by two knocks on the door.
