FREEN POV
I immediately raced towards Ken's car, where Becky stood outside. Even before I reached her, the sadness in her eyes was unmistakable. She was still processing everything that had happened, but I knew she understood.
"Pfreen?" she called out, her voice barely a whisper.
I pulled her into a tight embrace. I had missed her so much, and the worry I'd carried for her weighed heavily on my heart.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" I asked, my voice trembling slightly.
She held me back, her arms wrapping around me tightly. A wave of relief washed over me as I felt her warmth against me. She was safe.
"Thank you, Freen," she said, her voice thick with emotion. "Thank you, Dahil Hindi mo ako pinabayaan. Thank you for saving me. I missed you so much. I thought I'd never see you again."
Tinapik KO ang balikat niya, trying to soothe her. "I won't leave you, Beck. Nangako ako sayo na Hindi Kita iiwan Hindi ba? Kaya kahit ikamatay kopa, Hindi Kita pababayaan."
Tumulo Lang ang luha ni Becky dahil sa mga sinabi ni freen sa kanya.
Kade immediately approached us, her expression concerned. "Becky, may masakit ba sayo?"
Becky pulled away from my embrace and turned to face him. "I'm fine, Kade. Nahuli ba ang lalakeng 'yon?"
Kade explained, "The police have him now. The captives will be able to go home to their families."
"Where are Erin, Noey, Hades, and Ken?" I asked.
"They're still fixing things inside the warehouse," Kade replied.
"I'll take Becky to their house," I decided. "You guys take care of everything, okay?"
Kade nodded, her eyes filled with understanding.
As Becky and I were about to leave, Hanna and Pnam arrived, arguing once again.
"I told you Hanna, to stop acting like a spoiled brat!" Pnam scolded, her voice sharp.
"Who's acting like a brat now, huh, Pnam?" Hanna retorted, her arms crossed defiantly.
I sighed and rubbed my head, watching their childish bickering.
"Stop it, kayong dalawa! Bakit Hindi nalang kayo umamin na may gusto kayo Sa isat-isa? You're always fighting in front of me, and it's so annoying na talaga!"
They both turned to me, their expressions a mix of surprise and annoyance.
"Huh? What are you saying, Freen? Hindi ako baliw ano? Sino ba ang magkagusto sa walang pusong babae na iyan?" Hanna scoffed.
"Walang puso? Wow! If I didn't have a heart, I wouldn't have saved you back there!" Pnam retorted, rolling her eyes.
Pnam closed her eyes in exasperation, while Becky, completely bewildered, looked back and forth between them, shaking her head.
"Tsk! You guys are weird!" she muttered.
They all turned to Becky, and she gave them an awkward smile. "Never mind. Just go ahead, don't mind me."
Pnam cleared her throat. "Yes, by the way, Freen, Becky's classmate, has already been taken to the hospital."
"Okay?" Becky responded, her voice flat.
"Oh, his name is Nop," Pnam continued. "I almost forgot Siya raw ang kumuha nang pera nang traitos gang ."
I stared at Pnam, my heart pounding. "What are you talking about?"
