"Tara na kuya." I said excitedly before running inside the bookstore. I'm currently wearing a hoodie, black mask and my glasses.

Lowkey yarn?

Kuya Andrei just shook his head before following me.

I'm currently in the law section.

I saw kuya Andrei looking at a certain book there.

"You want it, kuya?" I asked him.

"I'm the one who's buying things for you, Val. You choose." He said. I gave him a confused look

"I'm asking if you want it. You can read it during free time or after training. Books are great therapy." I said before getting that book and put it in our basket.

After choosing books, we decided to go to Tom's world.

Oh I feel bad for kuya Lexus. He's on training right now. He can't join.

I'm busy getting a plushie in a claw machine while kuya Drei is playing basketball when someone calls me.

"Val, where are you guys right now?" Kuya Vanjo asked.

"We're in the CentroMall. Why?" I asked. Damn. This sounds urgent but  sayang yung plushie.

"FUCK. LEAVE THAT AREA AND GO TO THE PARKING LOT. THERE'S A DEMOLITION BOMB THERE." He said loudly.

I looked at Kuya Andrei. Eye contact is enough for us to understand each other.

"Did kuya Vanjo called you?" He asked me.

I nodded then moved.

Damn it. We're on the Fourth floor.

Basement ang parking lot nila.

"We need someone to help us." I told kuya Vanjo.

"Charissa is there." He answered me.

"Call her then!" I said. I don't know if it's because of the pressure or excitement.

"Kuya Drei! Kunin mo yung tools sa kotse. Didiretso nako sa basement." Sabi ko naman.

"Don't you dare let Val go inside that parking lot alone!" Pagtaas na boses na sabi ni Kuya Vanjo.

"Oh Kuya, calm down. I'll be fine. Be worried about yourselves. You guys are also solving a case. I want the C.A.T complete with no bruises next week." I said before entering the basement.

Nasa ibang bansa kasi yung 3. Si Kuya Gailen,Kuya Vanjo at Kuya Lexus.

"Kuya, saan dito si Ate Charissa?"  I asked him.

"She's near the fire exit. Helping the people to leave that fucking lot." He said frustratingly. Not sure if he's worried about me or worried with ate Charissa.

"Why the mall though? Kung tao ang pakay nilang saktan, Bakit hindi sa plaza na maraming tao because of the fiesta?" Sabi ni Kuya Vanjo.

Tama naman sya.

"I found the bomb." I updated them. Napatingin naman sa akin si Kuya Drei na kararating lang, Dala ang tool box.

Marahang nilapitan ni Kuya Andrei yung bomba. Investigating it like I do.

20 seconds left.

Tangina. Bakit ayaw?

"GIVE ME!" Sigaw ni ate Charissa na kakapasok lang mula sa labas.
