"Manong!" Garnette yelled to the cab driver and the vehicle stopped.

"Where to, dear?" Cab driver asked.

"Kolyenar Avenue po."

"Ahhhhh!! At last, I can finally rest my butt off after working out." She sat relaxed on the soft seat that come up with the cab.

*ring ring*

"Hello?"

"Nette?" Said a man with a deep, moderate voice.

"*gasps* DAD?!! Oh, Garnette please I just told you to stop drinking too much caffeine!" Garnette's talking to herself silently.

"Hi! Nette it's me, Killian."

"Killian? Killian Varg-- oh hi! Hi! How nice of you to call, and how did you get my number?"

"I got your number from Macy, I'm sorry if I came out as a stalker hehe."

"No, no, no it's okay, it's okay. That's fine, we already met in person and we're friends so technically you're not a stalker."

" Haha okay, I just want to ask if you're--"

A screeching, high pitched sound ran into the cab's surface; the whole entire cab was like struggling to bust.

"Anak ng--? Anong nangyayari?!!" The cab driver said.

Garnette was startled and confused.

"Garnette!! Garnette!! Hello?! Where are you??" Killian worriedly said.

Garnette panicked until she saw a mid-age woman who was wearing a black leather jacket, a dark gray mask, black gloves and a leather pants; grabbing the cab but left tons of scratches in the edges.

"Manong, stop the cab." Garnette said.

The cab driver followed Garnette and stopped the cab. She got off the cab and put on an angry mood.

"Yo, what's your problem, huh?" Garnette retorted.

She walked like she was up to a fight and pushed the woman but suddenly a force was released hard.

"Oh, oh my gosh. I-I-I didn't know what that came from."

The woman got up from the ground but still shocked, she holds Garnette through her arms and fiercely stared.

"It's the world's problem, and we need you to be a part of our problem. Garnette." The woman said.

"Hey, if you're one of the activists that stands in free Cosmo's magazines for everyone, I'm not in." Garnette jokingly said.

"W-Wait how did you know my name?"

"Well uhh--"

"No, don't answer I think know."

"No. I tried but I don't know you."

"The name's Aziarah, born and raised in Axl. There's something you need to see."

"Uhm uh AziArah? Whatever, I can't go with you."

"Oh, you will honey."

"No--Noooo!"

Aziarah and Garnette disappeared like a bubble, teleported to Axl.

"I never get paid enough." The cab driver devastatingly said.

"What the he--llo! I'm Garnette, nice to meet you."

Garnette shook Kyro's hand happily, while Kyro was surprised that Garnette is a friendly woman.
