After receiving a call, Abraham and the other guys were preparing themselves. They might stressed Epimaco because of their naughtiness but they would never disappoint him. Especially Josiah.
"Cosh, take the car." Abraham ordered.
Cosh opened the van. Creston immediately throw a magnet and one tap from his monitor, the door unlocked.
"Idikit mo pa." Creston urged.
"Tumalon ka na lang. Tinatamad ako." Abraham puffed his smoke. Everyone from the car shook their heads. Alam nila ang ikot ng utak ni Abraham kaya wala naman silang magawa kundi gawin na lang ang kinakailangan dahil sa sobrang tigas ng ulo niya hindi siya makikinig.
Bumwelo si Creston at tumalon. Nakakapit siya sa bubong ng sasakyan. He pulled himself up and now he's on the roof.
Inabot niya ang handle at binuksan ang loob ng sasakyan. Creston successfully entered the car. Tinanggal niya ang nakapatong na bato sa tapakan ng acceleration at binato sa nakabukas na van.
Nag-siiwasan naman ang mga nasa loob at agad siyang pinagtaasan ng gitnang daliri. Umismid lang siya at nag-drive.
Creston then recieved a call from Josiah. "Yo?"
"[Be careful with my wife's car. Ayos lang magasgasan, wag lang madurog. Mag-aaway kami pagnawasak 'yan.]"
"Yeah, sure. Noted." Mabuti na lang at siya ang nag-drive. Dahil kung isa sa mga yon ang nag-drive paniguradong kanina pa nabangga ang sasakyan.
But somehow, Creston was thinking where did Josiah get his wife. Ni hindi man lang nila ito kilala. Alam naman nila kung saan nanggaling si Josiah which made them scared to him na hindi lang pinapahalata... but that's when the first time they got to see their boss. Ngayon, they can joke and hang around him. And even annoy him to the core—but they love to irritate Epimaco more. Para kasi sakanila, mukhang balot si Epimaco.
They halted in front of a waiting shed. Agad na iniliko ni Creston ang sasakyan ng makakita ng lalakibg armado at nakatutok sa kotse.
When he successfully drifted. Ang van na minamaneho ni Abraham ang sumalo sa lahat ng bala. Nag-murahan naman silang lahat dahil hindi bulletproof ang dala nila. Si Creston umismid lang sa ginawa.
He drifted again after closing the lights and maneuvered the car. Creston stepped on the acceleration. Sinulong niya lang ang madilim na kalsada habang pinapaulanan parin ng bala sina Abraham.
Creston couldn't see a thing but he knows how to move in the dark. Maya maya pa, may tumunog na sa bubungan niya. The door opened immediately. With the scent he knows that it wasn't dangerous.
"Tangina mo talaga." Cosh hissed. "I literally jump to every tree para lang makahabol! You dimwit!"
"I don't want the Boss' wife yell at me for the damage of his car." Creston answered. Hindi nilala kilala si Gazchela, and Creston assumed that she have a worst attitude.
"Who is she by the way?"
"I don't have any leads who is she." Creston responded.
"Ako kilala ko." Abraham entered the car with a smirk. Creston and Cosh is now wondering who's striving the van.
"Who?" Creston and Cosh responded.
"Si Misis Aldrin." Humalakhak si Abraham. Hindi na lang siya pinansin nina Creston at Cosh.
"[Boys! Danger zone!]" Scott reached them through their earpiece. Their van is not usable anymore. They parted ways and do their parts. They don't move together, it will be a hassle for them.
"What do you mean?" Cosh responded. Ni hindi nila mahagilap si Jake. As usual, may sariling mundo ayaw magpa-istorbo.
"[This place is a fucking hideout. Mga terorista. In short term, we trespassed.]"
"[Should we kill them? They don't look like they're demons.]" Jake spoke. "[I took ten of them. I'm in their tent trying to find some leads if they're demon or not... I put them under incantation but nothing is happening.]"
"Don't kill." Abraham spoke. Sa kanilang lima, siya ang sinusunod kapag may desisyon na kailangang gawin. "I'll reach Josiah. Wait for the command."
Cosh dialed Josiah and immediately gave the phone to Abraham after he answered. "Yo!"
"[We're ten minutes away. They put my wife in a bait. They called them terrorist to cover them as demons. They're humans but they sold their souls to the flame... their minds were poisoned. The General who gave her that place was possessed. Kill them.]"
"Copy." Abraham then informed everyone.
Josiah and his men were searching around the area. He doesnt know if they successfully killed those demons... iniisip kasi nito na baka nagre-regenate.
They've been searching the area for an hour but Gazchela and Lucas is nowhere to be found. All of them are coated in blood. Nanlalaban pa kasi.
"Damn!" Josiah hissed. Everyone went in silence, even the Scouts. Josiah frustratedly brushed his hair. "Where the fuck are you now, Romero!" he hissed. Josiah is trying to find a signal to call Lucas.
The Scouts looked at each other hearing the last name of Josiah's wife.
"We'll search again." Ani Abraham. Tinanguan siya ni Epimaco dahil hindi sumagot si Josiah.
The Scouts with the other special ops searched the area again.
"Anything?" Agad na salubong ni Epimaco sa mga nagsibalikan.
"Sinulong na ang buong lugar. Wala ni isang babae kaming nakita." Napailing si Abraham.
"Elias? Where are you?"
They looked at Josiah who's now talking with Elias. Ang ibang kasamahan na sugatan ginagamot na. With Josiah's wary and worries, he almost bought half of his battalion...to EMT's, search squad, special ops and the skilled Scouts.
"[Hey, pauwi na ba kayo?]"
"Almost! Gazchela was a bait and the General was possessed. We're searching now. Hindi namin makita! Can you tell me what are the other places from that map? Baka nandun siya!"
The Scouts usually joked around to lightened the mood but seeing how furious and mad Josiah right now shut them.
Si Abraham nag-sisigarilyo na lang. Tinunggo siya ni Creston. "Lighter?"
Abraham gave a lighter to Creston. Creston tried to light it but the fire won't come out. "It's not working, gago."
Abraham took the lighter. Hinawakan niya ang baba ni Creston—gamit ang sigarilyo sa bibig ni Abraham, he transfered a fire to Creston's cigarette.
"There you go." Abraham took the lighter and throw it away.
Then they focused eavesdropping to their Boss.
"[Uhm... sumunod ka ba?]"
"Yes!"
"[Well... Si Gazchela nasa bahay. Ganun rin si Lucas. Kumakain sila ngayon.]"
"WHAT?!" Josiah's voice thundered in shock. "H-how come?!"
"[I didn't know. Paglabas ko mula sa kwarto ni Trvi nasa loob na sila. Gazchela told me that they were chased so she get rid of the car. Babalikan niya na lang raw sa umaga.]"
Josiah dropped the call. "Everyone move! We're going back!"
"Paano ang asawa mo Boss?" Cosh questioned.
"She's in the house." Josiah sighed. Everyone move. No deaths but only wounded from their team.
Josiah and the Scouts went to their home. He entered the gate first and saw his wife.
Sa harapan nito may kausap na babae. Josiah's eyes grew wide. He took a big steps just to get close to the woman for his wife not to get hurt.
