"LUTHOR! LUTHOR!"

I WAS shaking his body to see any response. But there was none.

I gently slapped his face repeatedly, hoping that would wake him up. But he did not.

Hey, Luthor... If you're trying to pull a prank on us, you've already won, okay? Stop being dead! This isn't funny anymore!

Halos nakasara na ang mga mata niya. Please open your eyes!

Sinubukan kong hanapin ang kanyang pulso, pero sa sobrang panginginig ng mga kamay ko, hindi ko mahanap. Tell me you still have a pulse!

For every second that passed, I was starting to lose hope. I wiped the tears off my face while sniffling. No, no... This can't be happening. He can't be dead yet!

He told me he wants to take down M's organization with his brother.

He told me he wants to protect his younger brother.

How could he do all of that if he's already dead?

"He still has a pulse!" Loki shouted as two of his fingers touched his brother's left wrist. In this rare moment, I saw his once dull eyes come alive. Dati'y walang buhay ang mga ito, na para bang walang kislap na makikita. Ngayo'y napuno na ng pagkabahala. He was also sweating profusely.

My tears stopped from falling as I stared at the unconscious body of Luthor. That was a relief! I observed his chest and saw that it's still moving. He's still breathing!

Loki turned his gaze at the broken teacup. The spilled tea already created a bizarre shape on the floor. "If he's poisoned, we need to get him to the hospital as soon as possible!"

"TULONG! TULONG!" I cried. Hindi ko alam kung maririnig ba ako ng mga taong nasa loob ng bahay ng mga Mendez. I hope one of them has sharp ears and could hear me crying for help.

Anyone? Please hurry!

Tatayo na sana ako para tumakbo papasok sa loob ng bahay nang may narinig akong mga yabag ng sapatos. Help arrived almost immediately as Mr. Vasquez, the Mendez family chaffeur, rushed to the gazebo. He stood dumbfounded at the sight of Luthor on the floor.

"A-Ano'ng nangyari dito?" tanong niya.

"We need to bring him to the hospital!" Loki wouldn't let go of his brother's wrist. "Get the car ready!"

"Yes, sir!" Nagmadaling tumakbo pabalik sa garahe si Mr. Vasquez.

Si Loki naman, sinubukang buhatin ang kanyang kuya, pero sa tuwing inaangat niya ang katawan nito, halos bumagsak siya sa sahig.

"Why the heck is he so damn heavy?" he complained. Walang tigil ang pagtagaktak ng pawis niya. Ni hindi na niya pinansin kahit basang-basa na ang kanyang mukha.
