WISH

THE NEXT MISSION, attend the party.

We're currently eating our lunch on Ashton's car. It's a different car nga pala kanina. He left his convertible car and brought his pickup car instead dahil nasira ang nasa harap nito.

Thanks to me.

Nasa likod kami ng pickup niya at doon kumakain ng pagkain na binili namin mula sa isang fast-food chain. It's around 6:28 PM already at ngayon lang namin naisipan namin kumain dahil pagkatapos ng pagligtas namin sa kanya, bumili pa sila ng damit.

Nasa tabi kami ng daan habang nakatingin sa city lights. We're on a higher part of the city which is why kitang kita ang mga ito.

Bakit dito? Dahil 20 minutes away lang ito from the venue of the party. 7 pa magsisimula ang party so we still have time to plot our plans.

"Now, can you explain to me what just happened back there?" hirit ni Lincoln habang kumakain ng fried chicken. "Bakit may dala kayong baril?!"

I rolled my eyes at him. I took a sip from my pineapple juice before answering his question, "Hindi mo ba narinig ang explanation ko kanina?"

"I did pero--" he sighed heavily.

"Bakit sobrang accurate ng pagshoot niyo? For a moment, I thought I'm watching an action movie," he said. "And why would you even have guns? Sabihin na natin na it's not deadly but---it's still a gun!"

Matalas akong tumingin kay Ash na nanahimik habang kumakain ng pasta. It was a sign na siya naman ang gumawa ng explanation!

"For emergency purposes. Lagi din ako nagp-practice mag-shoot ng baril, when we were still dating, tinuruan ko din si Wish."

What a lie! Ako pa ngayon ang tuturuan niya? I can even hit bullseye with my eyes closed! I'm that awesome!

Napailing-iling tuloy ako, "Kung sino pa nagplano na mang-kidnap, siya pa nauna ma-kidnap," I muttered. Mukhang hindi naman nila 'yon narinig.

"What a weird hobby," bulong ni Lincoln. "Now for the second question, bakit mukha silang mafia?"

Hindi ko maiwasan matawa sa sinabi niya. Mafias? Those are our mortal enemies! "I'm from a rich family. Ganon talaga kahigpit ang security. Now my turn to ask, what did Blaise Vortex tell you?"

He shrugged his shoulders. "Just ordering me to spill the tea, by that I mean where you are." he said, "He even hit me several times! That asshole."

Kung ganoon, wala sila ibang nasabi. Mabuti naman. "Grumpy, 'yong plano--"

Natigilan kami dahil biglang tumayo si Ashton. Parehas kaming tumingala sa kanya na parang nagtatanong.

"I thought I made myself clear that I won't be helping you with your plan?"

Napakunot ang noo namin, "What?

"I ain't joining that shit," he said with his eyes fixated on mine. Mukhang may pinaparating na naman siya. Napaka sensitive talaga kahit kailan!
