❝ i already tracked her
location,❞ said alas who
is facing his laptop.

❝ where is she?❞

he breathe in before answering,
❝ haraga hills.❞

she nodded -unassured.
❝ sigurado ka ba? mapanganib
sa lugar na yun ah?❞

❝ how i wish that i was
just joking . . . i'll just inform
the cops about this,❞ he said
and called the cops on his phone.

she nodded and breathe out.
❝ then let's go to the hills.❞

alas creased her forehead
and ended the call. ❝ are you
sure?❞

❝ yes, kung aasa lang tayo
na mahuli siya ng mga pulis
maaari siyang makatakas.
we need to stop her from
escaping her crimes.❞

as they reached their
destination, aruelia immediately
removed her seatbelt and went
out of the car to look for lacy.

❝ lacy! lacy nasaan ka?❞ she
shouted while roaming around
the forest of haraga hills.

alas followed her to make sure
that she'll not be lost.

❝ aruelia, sa tingin ko dapat nasa
sasakyan na lang tayo. as you
can see, the police is already on
their way-❞

aruelia shoved her hand.
❝ don't meddle with my
business.❞

she then run away from
him. when she finally lost him,
she looked at her surroundings,
she is near at the edge of the
cliff.

❝ lacinda! alam kong nandiyan
ka. magpakita ka na!❞

she breathe in after shouting
so loud, when someone answered
back . . .

❝ oh hi aruelia, good to see you.❞
