"SIGURADO ka na bang ayaw mong samahan kita?" tanong ni Linel kay Linus nang maiparada nito sa airport ang kotse.

Umiling si Linus at tinago sa bulsa ng jacket niya ang picture nila ni Ivler na nakuha niya sa kanyang condo unit. "Hindi na, bro. Kailangan ka rin ng mag-ina mo rito. Kahit paano naman naaalala ko na ang mga pinagdaanan ko sa training. Kaya ko na ang sarili ko. Bantayan mo na lang si Eline at baka mamaya bumalik si Micah sa bahay."

"Hindi na siya makakapasok ng Severino. Pina-ban na ni misis bago pa makapatay ang asawa ko." Nahagod nito ang dibdib. "Grabe sa liit na 'yon ni Evangeline ibang klase makipag-away. Si Tyra no'n nilublob sa fake lake sa Raja no'ng naaksidente kayo. Halos maubos ang buhok sa lakas ng sabunot ni Evangeline."

Napangisi siya. "Hindi ka talaga pwede mambabae. Lagot ka sa misis mo."

Umismid ito at tinaasan siya ng kilay. "Tangina paano pa ako mambababae kung highschool pa lang patay na patay na ko ro'n?"

He chuckled softly. "I know. Nasapak mo nga ako dahil sa selos mo."

Nagsalubong ang mga kilay ni Linel. "I did that?"

"Ikaw naman yata ang may amnesia." Nakangisi siyang umiling-iling. "Sige na at baka mahuli pa ako."

"Nakuha mo na ba 'yong address ni Alvern sa kanya?"

Umiling siya rito. "But I know where to find them."

"Please tell me you didn't stalk the Beckhams the entire night?"

Linus smirked. "Why would I spend a night when I can just trace his credit cards and package history in a snap? I only investigated for another ten minutes to find out why Ivler is there. I figured out that there's a possibility that he'll be joining the Azkals in the finals. Hindi ba ay nabanggit ni Sandro na pinapili siya kung career niya o ako? I think the old coach who did that to him is the one who just got replaced by Keison Ducani's father."

"Nagpalit na ng coach ang Azkals? What the hell, I'm not updated. I've always been a fan of tito Keios."

Tumango siya. "Yeah. Nakita ko kagabi. Anyway, Keios Ducani was in Azul and Zaskia Beckham's wedding. He's the best man so they're probably close. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't make Ivler's sexuality an issue now that he's the new coach so." He smiled, his eyes almost disappeared. "My big baby will probably be in the field during the finals."

"Big baby?"

"I just remember that term. I don't know. It fits with Ivler. Anyway, I found out that Micah was not really employed nor a freelancer in Barcelona. Her parents didn't know that she's working as an escort there. Please let the Veneracions know about it so they can help her. This is already getting out of hand." He opened the door. "Oh, I uh, I used your personal computer. Please dispose it for me."

Napaawang ang mga labi ni Linel at mayamaya ay namula sa galit. "Jesus, Linus! Did you even clear the browsing history?! I don't want one of the bosses to tear down my fucking door!"

"I didn't do anything that can be considered a national threat, bro. I just did some shallow digging, okay?"

Nahilamos nito ang palad sa mukha. "How shallow is your version of shallow?"

Nagkibit-balikat lamang siya saka nakangising bumaba na ng sasakyan habang ang kapatid ay napapamura na lamang sa inis. He just made his strategy for this whole operation win back his Ivler like placing fake orders and putting his name on some companies and even in the list of employees of the bar where he first met Ivler.

He also tapped into Alvern's phone line and secured the IP addresses within the Beckham residence to prevent Micah from reaching Ivler to harass him. He also made sure he ran ads and lowkey reminders to Ivler and his friends for them to have the urge to go to the bar where they first met.
