Spy*Spy Specials

Case 2: Genesis Undead

Rima's POV

Dinala ako ni Skyler sa condo niya. Medyo nakakailang pa nga eh. Syempre condo. You know. Medyo iba naiisip niyo noh? Ako rin eh.

"May pagkain ba dito?" tanong ko. Hindi naman masyadong mahalay utak ko kesa sainyo noh. :P

Skyler smirked and opened his mini-fridge. Ang dami niyang nilabas. "Plano ko talagang dalhin ka dito so I prepared a lot of food."

"Plano? So you really know I'll be coming over?"

He nodded and smirked. "Of course. Matagal din ang hinintay ko bago ka bumalik from the States."

"Hoy Abalos! Sabihin mo nga, gawa-gawa mo lang ba ang tungkol kay Ruru Genesis??!!" inis kong sabi sabay hinagis ko yung isang VCut sa kanya.

"Hindi." in return, may hinagis din siyang folder saken. "Andyan ang case niya. Nandyan din ang last track sa kanya. At umamin na din ang lalaking nagpasabog ng condo unit ko na konektado siya kay Ruru Genesis."

"So he's back for revenge?!" naguguluhan kong tanong habang inii-scan ang loob ng folder.

"Nope."

"Then what?" tumingala ako para humarap kay Skyler.

"He wants to replace his older brother. I don't think he's planning this to get even after his brother was caught. Gusto niyang palitan ang pwesto niya. Now that Villena is out of the picture, it's his time to take over."

"Drug lord bastards!" inis kong sinarado ang folder. "Hindi na sila naubos!!! Ugh! I should be back in New York! I have a lot of things to do!"

Umupo si Skyler sa sahig katapat ko. He pats my head and smiled. "You really wanted to leave, huh?"

I smiled back. Kahit parehas kaming nakangiti, nasasaktan ako. At alam kong nasasaktan din siya. Alam ko naman kasing hindi din buo ang desisyon niyang sumama saken sa New York. May mga responsibilidad din siya sa kumpanya ng Dad niya. At meron din akong responsibilidad sa DV Group.

"We're not the same spies anymore, Sky. Hindi na lang tayo yung ordinaryong estudyante sa umaga at spy sa gabi. We have responsibilities to face, right?" I said.

Tumango siya. "I guess you're right. Siguro nga, this is not the right time for us."

Skyler cupped my cheeks and lean forward. His lips landed on my forehead. I closed my eyes. I can smell his scent. These little things that can make me feel safe and sound kahit alam kong nasa panganib kami, right now, is what I missed the most.

"I love you, Rima."

"I love you more, Sky."

Nagpahinga lang kami ng kaunti at pagkatapos ay nagsimula na ulit ng pag track down kay Ruru Genesis gamit ang mga nakuha niyang possible traces.

"Nawala ang tracker niya dito." turo ni Skyler sa mapa. Nasa may interchange ang lugar na iyon. Malapit na rin sa rural areas.

"Maybe that's his hideout."

"Or maybe another trap. Hindi tayo sigurado."

"But we still need to make sure."

Skyler smiled at me. "I have it covered. Si Chief na ang pumunta doon. Hanggang ngayon nga wala pa ring balita. Mukhang tanders na talaga si Chiefy."

Hinampas ko yung braso niya. "Sama mo. Remember, he's your boss now. Respeto naman!" and we both laughed.

"Baka irespeto ko yun. Tss." napaupo siya at nagpout. "Ever since he became the Chairman, lagi siyang absent." paghihimutok niya pa.

"You can't blame him. Nung Chief Adviser pa natin siya, ganun na talaga siya hindi ba?"

"Yeah right. Iniiwanan niya lang tayo ng patong-patong na folders at tayo na ang bahalang mamili ng cases. Napaka-irresponsible niya talaga."

"But he's our Chiefy and we all know he's awesome like that."

Skyler nodded and smiled. "I guess you're right."

Tumayo muna saglit si Skyler at pumunta sa kwarto  para daw tumawag sa phone na konektado sa reception area ng condominium. Naiwan ako para maghanap pa ng maaaring traces ni Ruru Genesis.

Hanggang ngayon kasi hindi ako makapaniwalang buhay siya. And he's at large. Hindi lang siya malaya, he has the ability to avenge. Kaya niya kaming balikan. He has the guns and army to do so. We need to stop him before he cause damage. Pero hanggang ngayon I have doubts if totoo ngang buhay siya. What if this is just a trap? You know how my ‘what if's’ work. It is definitely legit.

*ding dong*

Napatigil ako sa pag-iisip ng tumunog ang doorbell. Kinabahan ako dahil wala naman kaming ineexpect na pupunta.

Si Chiefy ba yun? O si Charlie? Baka si Kenneth?

"Rima! Pakicheck kung yan yung room service. I ordered lunch for us."

Napawi ang kaba ko at agad tumayo ng marinig ko ang salitang LUNCH. Syemps. Pagkain. You know. XD

Sumilip ako sa peephole ng pinto at nakita kong room service nga iyon. Agad kong binuksan at pinapasok. Inasikaso nung room service ang table at nag abang na ako sa table. Nilingon ko si Skyler na hindi parin nabalik mula sa kwarto niya.

Napataas tuloy ang kilay ko. Ano bang ginagawa nun? Nagbibihis? Uy teka masilip nga. De joke! Hahahahahah. Nahahawa na ako kay JM. Byun na akong masyado.

"Sky?!" tawag ko.

Medyo matagal bago siya nakasagot. "Yeah?" he said still inside his room.

"Anong ginagawa mo? Tara oh. Kakain na tayo!"

"I'll be there, just stay where you are."

"Huh?" hindi ko alam pero kinutuban na ako at tila nanindig ang balahibo ko ng makaramdam ng malamig na bakal sa may leeg ko. Hindi ako makalingon pero alam kong yung lalaking nasa room service iyon.

"Move an inch and you're dead," bulong ng lalaki saken.

But I heard noises from Skyler's room at agad napatakbo only to be caught by the room service guy. I tried to break free pero matagal-tagal na din kasi akong natigil sa spy duties at isa pa, gutom na ako hindi ako makagalaw. SARREH. TuT

"Rima!!!" sigaw ni Skyler ng makalabas siya pero nakapulupot na sa leeg ko ang braso ni Koyang room service kaya napatigil siya sa paglapit.

"Hold it right there, Abalos." sabi niya.

Tumayo lang si Skyler at kitang kita ko ang pagkuyom ng panga niya. Okay. Mej hot. De joke. Huhuhuhuhu. Duh? Rima? Hostage ka na nga, ang landi pa rin ng utak mo. Bouisette. Spy*Spy Specials na hindi ka parin nagbabago. ;u;

"Let her go." mariin na utos ni Skyler.

"Genesis orders. Sorry." tinaas niya ang baril na kinuha niya sa tagiliran niya at tinutok niya sa ulo ko sabay kinaladkad ako palabas ng kwarto.

Nagpahila ako at paatras siyang naglalakad dahil tinitignan niya kung sumusunod si Sky.

"Hehehehe! Malapit na tayo sa elevator!" tuwang tuwa na sabi ni Koya.

"Not so fast, kid." biglang may nagsalita at agad lumuwag ang pakiramdam ng leeg ko at natumba siya. Pagtingin ko, si Chiefy iyon.

"Chiefy!" niyakap ko siya agad at narinig ko ang yabag ng paa ni Skyler.

Hinila niya ako mula kay Chiefy at niyakap ng mahigpit. Ah shete ocho nwebe! Ang pabango ni Skyler ang kahinaan ko. Well uhm— bukod sa pagkain. ;o;

He pulled away and checked my arms. "Did that punk hurt you? Huh? May sugat ka ba?!" he asked worriedly.

"I'm fine! Okay lang. Walang nangyari." I said and smiled. He kissed my forehead at niyakap ako ulit.

"So? This punk barged in your condo?" tanong ni Chief at agad hinila ang collar ng damit nung lalaki para makita niya ng malapitan ang mukha.

"Yeah. Meron pang isa. Nandoon sa kwarto ko."

Napatingin ako kay Skyler. "What????!" I said.

"Papalabas na ako ng kwarto after tawagan yung room service ng bigla niya akong tutukan ng baril and told me to stay where I was. I did what he said kaya hindi ako lumabas. I didn't know na may papasok ding room service para saktan si Rima."

Napailing si Chiefy. "We better get going. This place is not safe for you two."

Nagkatinginan nalang kami ni Skyler. I hugged him tight and tried to stop myself from being scared.

Kenneth's POV

Mukhang maayos naman ang HQ. May wifi na kaya nalilibang ang iba. Sa ngayon kailangan naming matrack down si Ruru Genesis bago pa nila masaktan ang sino man sa amin.

"You okay?" nagulat ako ng biglang niyakap ako ni Carleen mula sa likod. "You look bothered. How's Rima and Skyler?"

I smiled at pinaupo siya sa lap ko. "They're fine. But they need to hide for now. And same goes with all of us."

Carleen cupped my cheeks. "Ken, can I ask you something?" napataas ang kilay ko dahil bigla siyang naging seryoso.

"Huh? Is this about the girl from Chiefy's reception last night? H-Hindi ko talaga kilala yun--"

"No you moron. Hindi toh tungkol sa mga babaeng basta basta nalang nalapit sayo."

"Wow. Who goat babe ah!" sabay ngisi ko.

Hinampas niya ako ng mahina. "Shut up! Hindi nga sabi eh. Iba yung itatanong ko."

Pinulupot ko ang kamay ko sa bewang niya habang nakaupo parin siya sa lap ko. "Okay fine. What is it?" malambing kong sabi sabay ngiti.

"P-Promise me na hindi ka magagalit ah?"

Natawa ako sa sinabi niya. "Huh? Ano ba kasi yan?!" naguguluhan ako at natatakot din.

"W-What if— what if you quit being a spy?"

My smile faded as soon as she said that. "What? Pero—"

"I mean— kasi—hindi naman dahil ayaw ko kay Rima or kay Chiefy— kasi—" she was trying to find the right words to say.

I reached for her cheeks and lift her chin up so she can look at me straight in the eyes. "You're afraid right now, aren't you?"

She pouted and her eyes started to pile up tears. "I just— I just don't know what will happen because of this. Paano kung bigla ka nalang bawian ng mga sindikato na yun? They're criminals. Kaya ka nilang patayin if they want to. This story is a witness of deaths. I can't even imagine if you—"

"Shh... stop crying. I know. I understand."

"But it's still your choice, Ken. I know you can handle those muggles but— gusto kasi kitang makasamang tumanda. I can't lose someone as precious as you in my life. You know that, right?"

I nodded and kissed her. "I'm sorry if this scared you. Don't worry, it will be okay. We will be okay. I promise. And after this case, I'll resign."

Nanlaki ang mata ni Carleen sa sinabi ko. "Pero—"

"I want to grow old with you too, Carl. And I don't want you to worry about me when I'm out doing cases. Hindi ko man lang naisip kung anong mararamdaman mo. I'm sorry."

"Are you sure? You're a spy ever since I met you. What about the team—"

"They'll understand. They're my friends. Maiintindihan nila yun. I'm sure."

I saw Carleen smiled and hugged me tight. "I love you Kenneth."

"I love you too Carleen." I kissed her and smiled. "I can give up everything for you. I love you."

Iniwan ko si Carleen sa kwarto at papunta sana sa office ni Miss Court ng makita ko sa pinto si Charlie.

"So this is your last case?" he asked and smiled.

"Yeah. Kailangang sumunod sa commander."

"Ander ka talaga, Ken." pang-aasar saken ni Charlie.

"CHARLIEEE!!! ASAN NA YUNG PAGKAIN NAMIN???!" napalingon kami ng may sumigaw. Boses ni Alexa iyon.

"Ah—eh— OKAY! WAIT LANG!!!" nagtatakbo si Charlie sa loob ng kwarto nila. Napangiti nalang ako.

Ander pala huh? :)

Rima's POV

Inabot kami ng malakas na ulan habang nagdadrive kung saan. Hindi na kami pwedeng magstay sa isang lugar. No place is safe. Kaya eto kami ni Skyler just driving around. Pero dahil sa lakas ng ulan, he parked the car at one side.

"I can't believe we're running away like stupid cowards. Hindi tayo ganito dati." he said.

"Now's not the right time to feed your ego, Sky. Hindi natin kilala ang Ruru Genesis na iyon. How did he managed to get in your unit without you knowing? He's dangerous. So we need to stay away from him."

"Paano natin siya mahuhuli?"

"We need to be safe. Both of us needs to be safe. Dahil sa totoo lang, this is again my fault!" I yelled. Nakikisabay ang boses ko sa lakas ng ulan.

"Your fault? Inaako mo na naman ang lahat gaya dati Rima! I am also there—"

"If it weren't for me, hindi ka masasali dito! You saved me that night, right? If I wasn't such pest and dependent spy that time and just did what I have to, hindi mo naman na kailangang umeksena diba?"

"Jeez Rima! Stop blaming yourself, please!" he reached in and hugged me. I cried like a kid habang yakap niya ako.

Kanina ko pa talaga naiisip na kung hindi dahil saken, hindi naman talaga mangyayari ang lahat ng toh.

"It's not your fault. Please. We both end up messing Chief's honeymoon. Okay? Hindi lang ikaw. You got that?"

I nodded habang nasinghot. He smiled and pinched my nose. We both sit there and watched the rain from inside his car when the car transmitter lit up.

*trrt*

{"Guys? You okay?"} boses ni Charlie ang narinig namin.

"Cha! Yes we are. Kayo sa HQ? Are you all doing fine?!" sabi ko.

{"Yep. We installed a wifi router for Nana and the others. Also some television sets. We are still tracking down Ruru Genesis too."}

"Well, we're also doing that. Nahihirapan lang kami ngayon dahil maulan." Skyler said.

{"Maulan? So? Nasaan ba kayo? Diba nasa condo unit kayo?"}

"Some of Ruru Genesis' goons got inside Skyler's unit. We have to stay inside his car until we find a safer place. Si Chiefy naman may sinusundang lead." sagot ko habang nakatingin kami sa isa't isa ni Sky.

{"Aigoo! You two keep safe! That Ruru Genesis is not small time!"}

"He really isn't just small time, Cha. Kayo din dyan. Stay safe okay?" paalala ko.

{"Yes we will Rima Bear!"}

I smiled hearing that. Buti nalang ligtas pa din sila sa HQ. I also saw Skyler sighed. Siguro nawala din ang pag-aalala niya.

"You guys better sleep, bukas nalang natin ituloy ang pagtrack down." Skyler said.

{"Oka-- kraaazzzztttttt"}

Napakunot ang noo ko ng marinig ang tila pagkawala ng signal ng transmitter namin at nila Charlie. Skyler tried to find back the signal pero bigla nalang tumigil ang ingay.

"Anyare? Nasira ba?" tanong ko.

"I don't know."

*trrt*

Nagulat kami ng tumunog na ulit ang transmitter. We were expecting Charlie but--

{"Magandang gabi~"} bati ng isang boses sa amin. Nagkatinginan kami ni Skyler dahil pareho naming hindi kilala ang boses.

"W-Who is this?" nagaalangan kong tanong.

{"Aww~ Sorry kung iistorbohin ko ang sweet talk ninyo ah? Ang lungkot. Buong araw ninyo akong topic pero hindi niyo ako kilala? Ang sama naman."}

"Huh?"

{"Diba sabi niyo tinatrack down niyo na ako? Aish. You guys are talking behind my back huh?"}

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko ng marealize kung sino ang kausap namin ngayon.

"R-Ruru—Genesis??!"

{"That's right Rima Dela Vega. I am Ruru Genesis. The leader of the Genesis Syndicate. Hindi pa ako patay. I am alive. And I want to play a game kasama kayong dalawa."}

"We don't like to play games with you, Genesis!" galit na sabi ni Skyler.

{"Ohhh~~ hothead~~ naku naku naku~~ alam mo ba na kapag pikon ka, talo ka? Huh Skyler Abalos?"} mapaglaro ang boses ni Ruru Genesis. Nakakakilabot at mapaglaro. I have a bad feeling about this.

"Shut up and tell me where you are, you f ucking f uck head!!!"

{"Pero maglalaro pa tayo! I can't tell you where am I. Nasa rules yun ng game eh~ hehehe~"}

"We don't want to play games with yo--"

{"S-S-Skyler? Skyler?"}

Oh hell no. Don't tell me that's Skyler's—

"M-Mom?"

{"Opps. Bawal kausapin ang BAIT. Nasa rules yun ng laro!"}

"Ruru Genesis you fuc king—"

{"Maglalaro ka o papatayin ko ang Mama mo? Pag nainis ako dahil lagi mo akong minumura, I'll probably kill her earlier than what I have planned. Sige ka~~"}

Natigilan si Skyler at tila wala sa sariling napasandal sa driver's seat. I clenched my fist.

"Maglalaro kami! Tell us what game do you want!!!" sabi ko. I heard an annoying laugh from the transmitter radio.

{"Good!!! Good!!! Okay sige. Buti ka pa! Okay. Let's play I SPY!!!"} nakarinig pa ako ng palakpak mula sa kanya.

"I spy?"

{"Yup. I spy. Dahil nasa kalsada kayo, kailangan niyo lang mahanap ang mga taong pinapahanap ko. Mga tao na magsisilbing guide ninyo papunta sa akin. Skyler's mom is the bait. Alam ko kasing hindi siya sasali kapag walang kapalit eh."}

"Tao? Bait? You monster!" kinagat ko ang labi ko habang nag iisip. Madumi siyang maglaro dahil dinamay niya pa talaga ang Mom ni Skyler dito.

{"So shall we begin? I want Skyler Abalos to play too. After all, his Mom is going to participate as my BAIT. Nyahahaha~"}

Skyler gritted his teeth but he's a bit calm now. "Okay. I will play your stupid game. Who's first?" he answered.

{"I spy... with my little eye, the Chief of Federal Drug Department who followed the wrong coordinates that I sent him."}

"Chiefy!!!" napatakip ako ng bibig.

{"You only have 30 minutes. The coordinates I sent to him leads to my friends who will ambush him kapag naubos ang oras. Galingan niyong maghanap ah? Akala niyo siguro ligtas na ang lahat pero nagkakamali kayo. Good luck~ nyahahaha~"}

*trrt*

Nawala na si Ruru Genesis sa transmitter at may lumabas sa GPS map ng sasakyan ni Skyler.

Isang timer at possibly ang coordinates kung nasaan si Chiefy.

Time: 29:59

Location: 762° W SW Freedom Ave.

Skyler buckled up and so am I. We looked at each other and I gave him a faint smile.

He smiled back. "We will win this stupid game. I promise." he said.

Nabuhayan ako ng makita ko siyang ngumiti. Akala ko panghihinaan siya ng loob because his Mom is in danger, pero hindi. I almost forgot who this guy is.

He's Skyler Abalos. And he'll do everything to protect the one's he love. Kahit pa kapalit noon ay ang buhay niya.

"Let's find that f ucker?" he asked and start his engine.

"Ready when you are, Sky. Let's beat that f ucker out!" and we zoomed through the heavy rain.
