December 16, 2021Thursday 1:29 A.M.Blair and Trestan arrived at the doctor's house and immediately went outside the car. They run towards the front door of Dr. De Vega's house."Dr. De Vega? Dr. De Vega!" Trestan was knocking at the doctor's house. It took ten minutes before the doctor opened the door."Trestan? Blair? What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" The doctor seemed to just wake up from his sleep."We need to test on something doctor and---""W-What? Can't we do that later? It's past one in the morning." The doctor said while his eyes were half-closed."But doctor, this is very important and time is running. We will be too late if we---""What are you talking about, young man?""We will just explain it to you later, doctor. But first things first, we need to hurry." Blair said."Fine. Fine. Come in. I'll just change clothes and we will go to the secret laboratory." The doctor has no choice but to come with the two young people.After a while, Dr. De Vega drove
โLetโs hurry.โ Dylan pulled Ferranโs hand but Ferran held the child's hand instead. He stopped him. โWhy? Whatโs wrong?โโWear this.โ He put a disposable face mask on Dylan.โOh. Thank you.โ Ferran smiled weakly and slightly tapped Dylanโs head.โLetโsโSh*t.โ He pulled the kid closer to him when a patient coughed so hard and his skin was full of wounds with a purple thing.โO-Officer, whatโs with him?โ Dylan asked, watching the man.โHeโs infected.โ Ferran lifted Dylan and ran before the infected could touch them. โDamn it! Damn it!โ He was running for their lives. They passed a lot of infected before they reached Callyโs private room. Alfarez was about to look outside because of screams from the people who were scared to be infected with the deadly virus, but Ferran pushed him inside and they locked the door.โWhatโs with the noise?โ Alfarez asked.โTheyโฆโ Ferran put down the kid who later ran toward Cally who is now conscious. โThe virus. Itโsโฆ Itโs spreading. Damn it! We need to
An hour before the incidentโฆ โGood job, Julsen. We can handle this. You can leave now.โ The Boss tapped his shoulder after they arrived at the abandoned house. โYes, sir.โ โLetโs go, men.โ They went up to find the bamboo house. โThe surroundings were clear, Boss. Itโs positive, there was a bamboo house near the area.โ The man knocked on the bamboo door. Tata Carpio opened the door and a dagger hit the man on his forehead. The other men pointed their guns at Tata Carpio and the other men went inside using the backdoor. They pointed a gun on Henryโs head who threw the dagger on one of the Bossโ pawns. The two, Henry and Tata Carpio, raised their hands to surrender. They donโt have any strength to fight these men surrounding them. โItโs been a whileโฆ Kuya.โ The Boss smirked at Tata Carpio who was confused but made an expressionless face after he recognized his youngest sibling. โI searched for you everywhere and I couldnโt find you.โ The Boss smirked and pointed his gun on his br
โYouโre here. Itโs been a while honey.โ Maria was about to kiss her husband but he slightly pushed her.โIs she awake?โ Julsen asked pertaining to his child.โDon't you miss me?โ Dismay was written on Mariaโs eyes when her husband didnโt give her at least a glance.โWhy would I?โ His brows formed into and finally looked at her but with sharp eyes. โI want to see her. Open the door.โMaria had bloodshot eyes. She was hurt by the treatment she was receiving from her husband. They are not like before.โSweetieโฆโ Julsen whispered and sat at the edge of her bed. โHold on a little bit. Hm? Daddy would like to play with you again. We will play again after you regain your strength.โ A tear fell but he immediately wiped it away.Maria was hopeful too that one day, her child will be as cheerful as before. People think that she just did everything horrible for herself but little did they know that sheโs just doing everything to find a cure for her dying child. โHow long will it be, Maria? Itโs
โGreat job, Kiddo.โ Dr. De Vega tapped Trestanโs shoulder after they successfully developed the cure. โIโm just your assistant, doctor.โ โLetโs make this quick.โTrestan and Blair helped the doctor to put the cure in small vials where the vaccine can be safe and restored. They made a hundred cures and put the vials inside a waterproof aluminum that could protect it from breaking. Dr. De Vega sealed it.โDone.โ The doctor declared.The two, Trestan and Blair, sighed in relief and smiled at each other. โRest for a while, doctor.โ Trestan saw him tired of everything that happened. The virus just spread early in the morning. His brother just died earlier without giving him a proper funeral. Heโs too old to handle everything.โHaโฆโ The doctor heavily sighed and his eyes became teary. โIf only I knew that heโs still alive. All those yearsโฆโ The old doctor couldnโt hold his tears anymore. His shoulder shook as he cried in his hand. Trestan didnโt know what to do, couldnโt utter a word an
โOh my gosh!!โ Blair covered her ears as they heard the explosion coming from the surface. It slightly shook the place because of its great impact. โDr. De Vega!โTrestan put his hand on her mouth and strongly shook his head to stop her from running back to the laboratory. He then pulled her again because at any time, the enemies might track them as soon as they learned about the tunnel underneath.Rain was heavily pouring when they reached the exit. They unhesitatingly entered the dark and vast forest even though they already knew what danger was waiting for them.The ground became muddy and slippery that made it difficult for them to run faster. Trestan tightly held Blairโs hand while running for their lives because unfortunately, they encountered fake hunters on their way out. One of Blairโs feet slipped and she almost fell into the pit where the organization disposed of the dead organisms from their failed experiment.โBlair! Sh*tโฆ Careful! Letโs go.โ Trestan was tired but he just
โTrestan!โThe sound of the waves coming from the San Lorenzo sea and Trestanโs whimper were heard in the middle of the cold night. He was shot on his shoulder and itโs bleeding too much.โTrestanโฆโ Blair was weeping while trying to assist Trestan. Her hands were full of his blood but she didn't mind.โShhโฆ Donโt cry. Itโsโฆ nothing.โ He tried to lift his hand to wipe her tears but he couldnโt. The wound was too painful to bear.โGive me that young man!โ The Chief was forcefully pulling the briefcase which contained the cure.โNo!โ Trestan tightly hugged the briefcase while Blair did her best to defend him. She kicked the Chiefโs ass and gave him punches but still, itโs not enough. Blair even received a hard blow from the man that made her weak.โA-Ah!โ Trestan cried out of pain when the CHief choked him to death.โT-Trestanโฆโ Blair mumbled while watching her lover crying because of pain but she couldnโt do anything but to watch him suffer. She canโt move an inch.The Chief pushed him
โDanryll! We need to go. Somethingโs going on with the kids.โ Zyrille uttered after she got a call from Dylan. โDanryll!โโWhat?โ Danryll looked at her before he ended the call.โThe kidsโฆ we need to go to them.โโWhy?โ He stood up and they were walking and exiting the wrecked laboratory after they put Dr. De Vegaโs body in a safe space. Even if they wanted to, it is not the right time to mourn. There is a special mission they needed to accomplish.โDylan called andโฆ and he was crying. I donโt really understand what he was saying but all I understood was they were hiding from bad people.โโI thought they were safe where they were.โโI thought so too but it is not the case now.โ Zyrille checked on Julianna who was sleeping peacefully and soundly inside the van. โWe need to hurry or else, we might lose those innocent ones too.โDanryll sighed heavily before starting the engine. The place is not that far from Mrs. Santosโ house and the travel was quick because itโs night time and there i
March 16, 2022Wednesday 7 AMMonths had swiftly passedโฆโWhere are you going, dad?โโIโll just visit someoneโฆ itโs been a while.โ He said before leaving their house. The sun rose already and the streets of San Lorenzo came back into life.With an open window, Timotheus felt the morning breeze. He was greeted by the neighborhood. On his way to his destination, he passed by a flower shop. โGood morning, officer! Youโre at the right time. Our flowers were freshly delivered.โA white bouquet of gerbera flowers caught his attention. He immediately put it beside the passenger seat. He stared at the flowers for a second before starting the engine.It was a peaceful drive not until he noticed a commotion in the middle of the road.โAgain?โ He parked his car at the side of the road.โYou f*cking j*rk! Youโre the one who bumped into my car! Look!โโWhat? Iโm just passing by and youโreโโโExcuse me? What is this all about?โ Timotheus asked while checking the damages.โWho are you?โ One of them
โ...Kuya.โ Julsen slowly closed his eyes before his ghost left him.โJ-Julsenโฆ Hey, man. Wake up. Julsen!โThe night became silent after that bloody encounter. A lot of bodies were lying on the groundโฆ lifeless.Timotheus carefully let him go and looked at the blood in his hand. She clenched his fist and rushed to Danryll to give him a hard blow. Danryll didnโt bother to dodge his attack and just let him.โHow could you?!โโSir, stop it!โ Xol went in between to stop Timotheus while Ferran, on the other hand, just watched them because the unusual feeling of pain was forming inside him again.โI will never regret it!โโHow will you prove that he really killed the doctor? Huh? You donโt haveโโโOf courseโฆ I have.โ Danryll threw him his phone that was immediately caught by Timotheus. He watched the entire video and Julsen really killed Dr. De Vega inside the laboratory. He unconsciously dropped the phone astounded.โY-You think you all s-succeed? Even if you revealed them to the whole wor
The Chief just arrived at the place where the real Boss was living. Instead of welcoming him, everyone inside pointed their guns at him. โWhat the hell is happening?!โ His eyes widened when he saw the real Boss furiously looking at him, as if he wanted to kill him from that very moment. โYou son of a b*tch! How dare you destroy the laboratory without my consent?!โ The real Boss held the collar of Chiefโs clothes and tightened his grip. โEverything will not go according to plan if I don't do it, Boss.โ Fear was visible to his eyes. The real Boss is the only one he afraids of. No one but him. โYou killed Maria! And my granddaughterโฆ my precious granddaughter!โ He was shaking with anger and slowly choking the Chief. โI thought Callyโs your only g-granddaughter? Ugh! I just did it to reach our goal. To produce a cureโโ He was cut off when he felt the need for air. โYou thoughtโฆ Hah! I donโt care about that damn goal! As long as my familyโs not involved, youโre free to do anything but
โAs Iโve thoughtโฆ Got it.โCzaquira ready her pen and paper while Blair was dictating the code they needed to decipher. The letterโs too tiny for them and Blair has 20/20 vision. She could easily read the characters unlike the others inside that special room.โR-O-M-12:12โ12|13|14|15 II-C-O-R-4:10โ31|32|33|34|35 J-O-H-N-3:16โ17|18|19|20|214_2_3_5_5โฆ Thatโs all.โ Blair creased her forehead, not recognizing what the code was telling.Czaquira tried to type it all but itโs too long for a passcode. โFourteen charactersโฆ We only need fourteen characters.โ Czaquira uttered.โNoโฆ itโs nineteen, I guess?โ Xol confusedly said.Minutes after minutesโฆ an hour and ten minutes left. In the middle of the brainstorming on how to decipher the code, Timotheus' phone rang.โAquiro,โ Timotheus said, hoping for good news. โReally? Oh Godโฆ thank goodness.โโHowโs the search, sir?โ Xol asked, hoping for good news.โThey found him andโฆโ He looked at Blair who was about to cry. โHeโs alive.โBlairโs kn
โTrestanโฆ Heโs alive!โ Aquiro wiped his tears and went beside Trestanโs bed.โItโs a miracle that heโs still alive after that fall.โ The street sweeper spoke before he sipped his hot coffee.โYouโre the one who helped him?โ Aquiro asked.The man just nodded and put the empty cup on the table near him.โHe needs a long rest. I should leave. Take care of him.โโMay I know your name, mister?โ Aquiro stopped him for a moment.โNo need.โ He tapped his shoulder before leaving.โSh*tโฆ so itโs true. Heโs alive. Thank goodness.โ Ziph sighed in relief when he saw Trestan lying on the bed unconscious.โDamn you, cousโ. You scared us. We thoughtโฆโโStop being a crybaby, Aquiro. Haha.โ Beor teased him.โF*ck you.โThey just laughed at Aquiroโs hilarious face. The laughter stopped when they heard Trestan speak.โCallyโฆโ He mumbled. โHey, Trestan! Do you hear me?

Heavy rain fell while Ferran was on his way to save Blair. He struggled a bit because he couldnโt clearly see the road. Ferran looked at his wristwatch before stepping on the gas to speed up.โUgh!โ He almost got into an accident if he hadnโt stepped on the break immediately. His chest tightened and his breathing became heavy. โAlfarez! Alfarez!โ Real Ferranโs voice echoed inside his head.His heart pounded harder than the first one, as if his consciousness would leave him. Regardless of the frigidness of the atmosphere due to the rain, his body was heating up and beads of sweat were forming on his forehead and neck. โH-Hahโฆ Hahโฆโ Ferranโs head dropped on the steering wheel and his sight became blurry.Darkness filled the surrounding and he woke up in a void.***โItโs been a whileโฆ Timotheus Alfarez.โ The voice echoed everywhere.โThat voiceโฆ That voice!โ He opened his eyes but he saw nothing but darkness. โIโm here againโฆ Does it meanโฆโ He held his head when he felt a sudden pain.
