It was a lone but peaceful midnight, everyone's asleep but little did we know that some people's day are present at night. How incredible.
Abalang nakaupo si Doc Yoshi habang nagbabasa ng papeles sa lamesa nito. Nasa loob siya ng kanyang clinic. Nakasuot ang kanyang silver na salamin. As always, he's with his black turcle neck long sleeves, slacks and belt along with his white lab coat. Hindi rin mawawala ang silver cross necklace nito and his silver stethoscope.
He checked his silver watch and removed his glasses. Ipinatong niya 'yon sa lamesa at napasandal sa kinauupuan. He let out a deep sigh as if already consumed by tiredness yet, doctors do not really have their free time as long as there's an emergency around the corner.
Ramdam nito ang pag-vibrate ng kung ano sa kanyang bulsa. He took his phone out and a familiar name was displayed on the screen, currently calling him. At once, there was no hesitation for him to answer ever since he negotiated with that person.
He answered the call, "Yoshiko speaking."
"Good evening, Doc. Or should I say, good morning?" boses ng lalaki na nakuhang matawa, "Hindi na ako magtataka kung bakit gising ka pa ng ganitong oras. Doctors are always wide awake twenty-four hours. Do you even get enough sleep?"
"Importante pa ba 'yon?" walang ganang sagot nito habang abala ang isang kamay na inaayos ang mga papel sa kanyang harapan.
"Look who's talking, a doctor telling his patients to get enough sleep to be healthy yet, can't even do the advise to himself," muling natawa ang lalaki sa kabilang linya, "May mga tao talagang marunong mag-advise sa iba pero pagdating sa sarili nila, nganga," tumawa siyang muli.
"Enough with the jokes, Detective. I am used to it dahil ito ang trabaho ko.
Teka. Nasaan ka? Bakit ang ingay dyan?" pagtataka ni Doc.
From the phone, dinig na dinig niya ang malalakas na hangin, "Oh yeah, mahangin dito sa pampang. But worry no more, soon you'll know where I am."
"What about the information I seek?" seryosong boses niya. Tuluyan niyang naayos ang mga papel at ngayon ay minsanang nakatumpok sa kanyang harapan.
"Oh, about that," naging seryoso na rin ang tono ng kausap nito, "I just found out La Jara's secret hideout because of the information you seek. Masyado silang abala na makipag sanib-pwersa sa Sacra Camorra ngayon."
Nagsalubong ang kilay ni Yoshi, "What about them? Anong kinalaman nila dito?"
"Hindi ba hinahanap mo ang gumawa ng drugs sa La Jara?"
"Yes, that's the medicine I need for my boss."
"The thing is called Ziothonol. A very expensive drug made by La Jara syndicate. Once injected, it's like an ecstacy. You would feel pain at a later time when you do not take it every once in a month. The thing is, pwede mong ikamatay kung hindi ka masasaksakan noon monthly, so you need it for maintenance. The worse thing, sila lang ang may ganon na gamot. They have been using it to control and threaten people. Once na tinusok sa'yo yon, babalik-balikan mo sila but they would only give that drug to you once you obey their order."
