I was about to head home when I bumped into Pnam, one of my gang's councilors. She was holding a gun in her right hand, her left arm clutched against her chest, blood staining her white shirt. "Pnam? What happened? Bakit dumudugo Yang braso mo?" I asked, my voice laced with concern.

Pnam winced as she shifted, her face pale. "Boss Freen, we're in danger. We need to lay low for now."

"What do you mean?" I pressed, my heart pounding in my chest.

"I was staking out the Redfix gang, like Erin suggested. And she was right, they're in cahoots with the Traitos gang, the ones responsible for your brother's death," Pnam said, her voice low and strained.

I stopped, my breath catching in my throat. They were behind everything. Drey's death wasn't an accident. It was planned. "Tell me, Pnam! Where can I find the Traitos gang?!"

"That's what I don't know, boss. I would have found out if one of their men hadn't spotted me. I had to escape quickly, but they still managed to shoot me. Luckily, it only hit my arm," Pnam said, her voice trembling slightly.

I needed to know who these men were. Despite the time that had passed, I still remembered the faces of the men who had almost raped me and caused Drey's accident. "I'm taking you to the hospital. Come on."

I reached out to help her up, but she stopped me. "Boss Freen, dito na lang ako sa warehouse..."

Tears welled up in her eyes, and I stopped, my hand hovering over hers. "I'll call Doc Venus to treat your wound, okay?"

She nodded, leaning back against the sofa. "Boss Freen, Alam mo ba na may kakambal ako?"

"A twin?" I asked, my brow furrowed in confusion.

"Uhmm, Pero Hindi Ko na Siya makikita pa..." Pnam said, her voice filled with a deep sadness.

"Ah- ano ang ibig mong sabuhin?" I asked, my heart sinking.

"I just found out today that I have a twin. But our parents gave her up for adoption, and I don't know who adopted her," Pnam said, her voice breaking.

She broke down in tears, and I hugged her, patting her shoulder gently. "I'm here, Pnam. One day, we'll find your sister. Believe me, okay?"

"Thank you, Freen. I'm sorry for crying in front of you."

"It's okay, Pnam. I understand," I said, my voice filled with empathy.

"Thank you so much, Boss Freen..." Pnam whispered, her voice choked with emotion.

I let her cry, knowing that she was hurt. She had just discovered a part of her life that she never knew existed.

Nang dumating si Doc Venus sa warehouse, wala na ang mga miyembro ng gang ko. Pinaalis ko na sila dahil hindi alam ni Doc Venus ang tungkol sa gang ko, at ayaw kong malaman niya.

Habang nasa sasakyan, Hindi ko alakaing Makita ko sina Becky at Ken na masayang naglalakad patungo rin sa bahay ko.

"Ma'am Freen? Hindi ba 'yon sina Becky at Ken na papunta rin sa bahay mo?" Tanong ni Bert, ang driver ng mga magulang ko.

"Uhmmm," sagot ko Kay mang Bert sa mahinang boses. Hiningi ko kay Bert na sunduin ako dahil wala pa akong lisensya at hindi pa ako pinapayagang magmaneho.
