National Central Police Bureau, Manila
A Chinese descent man dressed casually in denims and black fitted shirt entered an office. His arrival caused a shock to another person in the room.
“Whoah!! Director Richard Lim. Chief, ibang ang arrive mo today, ah.”
The newcomer chuckled as he stood in front of his staff. “George, I just changed into casual clothes, nag-iba na ang tingin mo. Kanina ka pa?”
“Not really, around ten minutes. Pero chief, are you sure you want to join us in Tagaytay?” He seemed worried that Richard was going with him that afternoon.
“George, let’s not discuss it again. Let’s go. Bumalik lang naman ako dito para iwan itong mga official IDs ko.” Richard opened his table’s cabinet and let some ID cards and papers that he took out from his wallet. He left his service firearm in his vault.
Seconds later, the two men left the room and took the elevator. They headed to the building’s basement where Richard’s car was parked.
“Wow! Pati kotse chief, very impressive.” George admired a shiny BMW sport’s car that awaited them.
“Get in. Alangan naman gamitin natin yung government car na naka-assign sa akin.” Richard got inside the car and started the engine.
“Well, you are right. With this car and your looks right now, who could guess your real job? Pang GQ ang porma mo. Pero boss, are you sure you can do this? After all, you are no longer do field work. You should be in the office; your grade level says you should be…"
Richard tapped George's shoulder before he pressed the gas pedal. “Wala akong balak guluhin ang operations nyo okay? Besides, pre-work pa lang ito. It’s just that I couldn’t sit around and wait on this latest case which is closest to my heart. The SEA regional office gave me blessings.” He glanced at his staff who still unconvinced expression on his face.
“The local PNP are doing their work together with PDEA. Aren’t we coordinating with them?” George asked again.
“Yes, we are. That’s why you are going to have a briefing with them before the initial stakeout. We respect their work, ganoon naman ang role natin. However, it doesn’t hurt if we feed information and some tactical inputs. Remember, we are talking about the Southeast Asia triad here. Johnny Cheng is back in the Philippines to operate their illegal drugs from this country. This isn’t just a local case. We can help.” Richard further explained while George nodded in agreement.
