"Mimi, come here… you need to see this!" Irene pulled me unaware of her enthusiasm. "Wait, Irene… I was busy answering some inquiries—"
"Later with that, this one is definitely more important." she chuckled.
I looked her in the eye and with a dignified flare, I barked, "It better be good, or all 82 of my pending inquiries will haunt you at night!"
"Yes, I know…" she said, and even though I was complaining she still continued to lug me downstairs.
"Now what?" I said as soon as we arrived at the base of the stairs. The place was silent, and a few awkward stares came looking at me. Well, not until Athena came entering the hall slowly, holding some sort of&helli
We soon arrived, and the place did not disappoint. It's cozy enough to be comfortable yet still brimming with sophistication. When we walked towards the entrance, a lady happily escorted us to our tables, and saw three familiar faces who had already arrived before us."Tatay, you're already here!" I said, sitting beside him. On the other hand, the others quickly chose their own seats and with the awkward silence, all stared at each other like they were trying to discern what the others had in mind."Thank you for inviting us to such a dinner, Mayor Fernandez… *cough*. I hope we will be able to maintain the prosperity of the city, even in the future," I said and tried to raise my glass.Suddenly, Matty, who was situated on my left, escaped a l
"Yow! Irene looked at this!" Athena greeted Irene as soon as she locked eyes with her, "Isn't it beautiful!?"Irene stared at the poster once again, printed in it was herself wearing a white blouse and brown pleated skirt while holding a book, beside her is Jaiden wearing a uniform similar to hers, only that it is tailor for males. To be frank, the white polo shirt and brown trousers he is wearing really suited him well."Ah…. yes, but isn't it a bit bigger than it's supposed—""What are you talking about? It's just the perfect size!" Athena said to tease her."Well, suit yourself, it's not as if my opinion matters here anyway," Irene flatly confessed. 
We took the ride home, and Jaiden suddenly glanced at me for a moment. He quickly turned ahead and focused on the road, "Mimi, about earlier… when you said that you were not ready yet…. You are not rejecting me, haven't you? I mean, you are saying that I still have a chance with you in the near future."To be honest, I was startled by his question, but I tried to answer him nonetheless, "Wait, Jaiden, why did you suddenly ask," I said."Well, I'm quite anxious…. I'm not sure if you want me to wait for you to clear your thoughts or you wanted me to let go. I want to know if you think that we could become more than friends."When I heard that, I realized that it was going to be unfair to let him wait for me in vain. So I need to give hi
"Did you already reach her?" I asked, holding my phone that continuously rang for a few minutes."No, it just keeps telling me that her number is unavailable!" Irene said frantically, "I even tried to call the sender of the message but it's also not responding.""Mayor Erwin is also unavailable at the moment, should we go tell the police?" I asked her."It's too risky, we still don't know what kind of danger she is in. It might as well be a trap…" Irene concluded."Yes, you're right. But at least we must do something," I said. "I know, there is a risk but I think we need our friends' right now.""Then we will need profession
"I should say, your dress was simply beautiful, do you like it? It was personally tailored by a famous couturière in France, and should I also tell you it's not cheap.""Tsk…. Since when did you fancy designer wear?" Matty asked, eyeing her grandfather with an ominous glare."Well, that madame ambassador arranged everything for me. I just decided to make-face, and make our transactions with the Prime Minister a little smoother. Can you even believe I wasted 10,000 dollars for a single dress?""Pfft…. Is the madam ambassador pretty?" Matty teased, "You're probably entranced by her at some point.""She's rather young. And when it comes to old geezers like me, young equates to p
"Hey, stop squeezing me,” Athena said, peering out slightly under the bed."I feel something crawling in my back…." I cried."Both of you, could stop yapping… this mission is highly sensitive. One wrong move and we will jeopardize everything," Irene warned."Easy for you to say, you're not the one hiding in between!" I muttered."Hey, as if my situation is a lot better. I'm at the exposed edge of the bed right now which makes me more vulnerable," Irene confessed."Are you guys not afraid of what we are doing, I mean the way Matty described her grandfather, he surely won't hesitate to shoot us dead if
"How deep is this tunnel, anyway?" Jaiden asked as he looked down on the cold darkness that seems to continue forever."Guessing from the height of this building, we need to descend at least 60 feet more," Black Wolf announced."What! 60 feet!?" Jaiden complained. "If you want to give up now, I won't stop you…" Black Wolf scoffed."How about you Joseph, are you still good down there?" Jaiden called."....""Hey, why are you so silent?" Jaiden inquired, "Ah, fine…. I talk too much,"Jaiden gave up the conversation and continued climbing
That time Joseph still didn't know that his Big Bro was already suffering from terminal illness, and had only a few more weeks to live. Mariano then tried his best to dispose of them in any way possible after failing the mission."The Messiah Group suddenly disappeared, some of its members fought back and died miserably, others ran away, while some got arrested. Big Bro died a few days after his illness got the best of him. I and some other members, on the other hand, got caught in a trap Mariano that set-up after trying to sneak into Big Bro's funeral.""Fortunately, I only got six months of imprisonment since they cannot get enough evidence to detain me for much longer, with that I remember what Big Bro told me about a suburban barangay in the north, so I tried to look as his stuff and find out that the place he
