Chapter 091

"Oh my god!"

Boses ni Xeyna ang dumagungdong sa buong tree house nilang magkakaibigan. Dahil na rin sa kaniyang sigaw, Hani spilled the juice she is drinking, David stopped before he could leave, and Alzi paused from playing darts.

Nilingon ni Stein ang pintuan ng kaniyang kwarto nang bumukas iyon. Right there is Xeyna. With her problematic face.

"My phone is gone!"

Akala naman niya kung ano. Binalik na lang niya ang tingin sa libro na binabasa. Xeyna went inside his room at tumigil sa kaniyang harapan.

"My phone is gone!"

"I heard you," he flipped a page.

"Nasayo? Nasayo no? Tell me you have it."

"I don't have it. Where did you last use it?"

"I don't know? I still have it before we left the tree house for Cheska. Nasa akin pa siya hanggang sa dumating ng headquarters. I was even using it while we are on our way to Switzerland! Where the hell was it?!"

"There's no way I have it. I wasn't even with you when we got to the mansion—perhaps you left it there?"

Nalaglag ang kaniyang panga. "I left my phone at the mansion of the enemies? Wow...I didn't know I can be this stupid. This never happened before!"

Tumigil si Stein sa pagbabasa at nagangat ng tingin. He suddenly remembered something. "Your lock screen."

"Ano meron sa lock screen ko?" kumunot ang kaniyang noo. Maya maya ay nanlaki ang kaniyang mga mata. She clapped her mouth. "OH MY GOD!"

"Ano ba ang nangyayari? I can hear Xeyna's 'oh my god!' everywhere."

Napunta na ngayon si Hani sa may pintuan ng kwarto ni Stein. Sunod na dumating ay si Alzi na tinatanaw ang loob.

"Tell me everything is fine so I could leave," David as soon as he stopped behind his two friends.

"I...I lost my phone..." wala sa sariling sambit ni Xeyna. "Yung lock screen...yung lock screen..."

Napakurap kurap ang tatlo sa may pintuan nang bigla itong umupo habang sapo sapo ang noo. Tila nababaliw na siya.

"Yung phone ko...where the hell did I put it...I must find it sooner..."

"Nawawala ang phone?" si Alzi at nilipat ang tingin kay Stein. "Saan naiwan? Should I call it?"

"It's turned off..."

"Hindi ba't isa ang phone sa pinaka hindi dapat mawala ng mga assassins? All your call logs and text messages from your clients and Mr. Song are there!"

Xeyna shut her eyes at paulit ulit na tinuktok ang kaniyang ulo. Alam naman niya iyon. Hindi niya nga maintindihan kung paano nawala. She's always careful with her phone.

"She might have left it in the enemies 'mansion."

Tinignan niya ng masama si Stein. Binibigyan niya pa ng rason ang mga kaibigan na sermunan pa siya.

"My god! Napakaburara! The most responsible Asteria no more!"

"That's unfortunate."

"Your comments are not helping! Nagiisip ako rito kung saan ko nawala talaga! Shut up!"

David scoffed and walked away. "I wonder where your phone is at the moment."

Napakurap kurap ngayon si Cj habang pinagmamasdan ang phone na inaabot sa kaniya ni Simon.

          

"A Young gave it to you?"

"Yes, Mr. Lee," he answered. "I already asked around kung sino ang nagmamay ari nito ngunit sabi nila ay hindi raw kanila."

Cj took the phone. Sinubukan niya iyon buksan ngunit walang nangyari. "Where did this Young find this?"

"Sa labas daw ng mansion ng Black organization. He tried to find the owner but..."

Takang taka pa rin ang mukha ni Cj nang iblik ang tingin sa phone. He pressed the shut button long hanggang sa bumukas iyon. He waited patiently until he witnessed what's on the lock screen.

"Mr. Lee? Is there...any problem?"

"Send a message to the persons who went to Switzerland. I'll keep this for the meantime." then he turned his back and walked back to his room.

Nakatutok ngayon ang atensyon ni Stein sa kaniyang phone dahil binabasa niya ang mensahe na natanggap mula kay Simon. He then looked at Xeyna, "Mr. Song has it. You should retrieve it now to their headquarters."

Tila bumalik ang lahat ng pagasa sa pagkatao ni Xeyna. Her eyes shimmered and stood up. "Talaga?!"

"Yea," binalik nito ang phone sa bulsa at muling nagbasa.

"The best talaga itong si Mr. Song! I shall go now. Bye!"

Walang sinayang na minuto si Xeyna sa kaniyang pagkilos. She instantly went inside her car matapos makababa ng treehouse at agad iyong pinatakbo. She also drove as fast as she can dahil lang sa pagmamadali.

Hingal na hingal siyang nakapasok ng headquarters. Sa sobrang pagmamadali niya ay agad niyang natigil ang kotse gayong hindi pa ito tuluyang nakakalapit sa entrance. We she got inside, sumalubong sa kaniya ang normal na sitwasyon sa Lee headquarters.

Thank goodness Simon can be easily spot on. God knows what's with him at kung bakit agad siyang nakikita ng mga naghahanap sa kaniya.

"Mr. Song!"

Muli siyang tumakbo papalapit sa kaniya. Simon looked at her with a bit of confusion. Wala naman siyang binigay na trabaho rito ngayon at lalong wala itong sinabi sa kaniya na bibisita siya. He wonders too why she is running really fast. Tila may inuunahan.

"Devitsa," he called. "Why are you here? Are you here for the mistress? I believe she still cannot—"

"I'm not here for her," hinihingal niyang sambit habang nakataas ang kamay. "I'm here for my phone. Nasayo raw? I'm taking it. Right now."

He blinked. "You are the owner of the phone? Did you know that losing your phone can put the entire Asteria at disadvantage—"

"I know! I know. I know. I know that was a reckless thing to do. But I swear. I did not lose it on purpose," binaba na niya ang kamay. "So can I get my phone now?"

Napabuntong hininga na lang ito at saka talikod sa kaniya. "Follow me."

"Wait!" pagpapatigil niya. Simon turned to her. "Did you...by any chance...opened the phone?"

Natahimik ito sandali bago sumagot. "I won't do such a thing."

Nakahinga siya ng maluwag doon. Her hand went to her chest in relief. Sinundan na niya si Simon na muling nagpatuloy sa paglalakad.

"Uh...where are we?"

Umiikot ang kaniyang tingin ngayon sa kwarto kung saan siya dinala ni Simon. Ito na ba ang lost and found section ng kanilang headquarters? As expected from Lees. Lahat malaki. Even the lost and found room is a big as this.
