THE SUN was almost done performing its golden hour show and we are still commuting on a tricycle to get back to Wilton High. Dahil sa pagmamadali namin kaninang alalayan si Mich papasok sa ambulance, hindi na namin naisip na naiwan pala lahat ng gamit namin sa SCO.

Magakatabi kaming nakaupo ni Chris habang kasalungat naman namin si Gray. While on our way to Wilton, I was typing everything that has happened since this morning, messaging it all to this guy sitting next to me.

Ngayon, alam ko nang nagkaka-amnesia rin pala si Chris gaya lang din ni Tofer. Chris couldn't hide his curved lips as he was reading the messages I sent to him.

"I doubt if the poison is real." Chris' eyes knitted. "Susubukan kong kumain mamaya para malamin natin."

Gray propped his chin on his hand. "Pero kuya—"

"We have to take a risk," dagdag pa ni Chris. "We couldn't just be cowards here and let Joseph control us. Geez, my throat's too dry."

The moment we arrived at Wilton, halos wala nang mga estudyanteng natira. We just saw some Senior High Schoolers rehearsing for a dance performance near the Senior High School Department.

Dire-diretso ang aming paglalakad patungong SCO. The ceiling lights were already illuminating. Nakasalubong pa namin ang isa sa mga rumurondang security guard na abala rin sa pagpapasindi sa mga ilaw na 'di pa nabubuksan.

"Oh, akala ko nasa loob kayo ng opisina niyo," bungad niya sa'min.

My brows arched. "Ho? Kagagaling lang po namin sa labas. Pabalik pa po sana kami do'n eh."

"Ah, gano'n ba hija? Parang may tao kasi sa loob eh." Tumingin-tingin pa si manong sa direksyon ng SCO.

"Sige po, itsi-check na lang namin," I told him.

Agad na ring umalis ang security guard. Chris immediately leaned to me and whispered. "Should we punish security guards drinking while on duty? That one looks drunk."

I rolled my eyes on him. Grabe naman 'to kung makapanghusga.

Well, in fact, the security guard might be right after we saw the office right in front of our eyes. The lights were turned on inside and the door was partly opened. Sa pagkakatanda ko, we were able to turn off the lights when we went with the ambulance this morning.

The turned on air conditioner greeted our tired skin. My forehead immediately creased as I saw a figure of a person sitting on our receiving area's couch.

"I didn't expect you to be late. May dinaanan pa ba kayo bago dumiretso dito?"

Oliver Wilton gazed at us. He was crossing his legs while smiling at us. What is he doing here? Haven't we just saw each other back there in the hospital? Like minutes ago?
