Third Person POV


The men-in-black barged into the hotel room, accompanied by a man who clearly appeared to be their leader. May hinahanap ang lalaking ito at sinimulan na nilang halughugin ang buong kuwarto.

Bumukas ang pinto ng shower room at lumabas ang hinahanap nilang tao. Nakabalot lamang ito ng tuwalya, kaya kitang-kita nang mga lalaki ang kaniyang makinis na balat.

Cosette took a deep breath upon seeing the intruders. Naglakad siya palapit sa isang swivel chair at naupo.

The men inside the room swallowed hard as they caught sight of her seated in a swivel chair, crossing her legs, pinapakita ang malambot niyang hita sa mga ito.

"What is the purpose of your presence here, Mr. Travis?" Cosette asked calmly, addressing the leader of the men-in-black.

Kinuha ni Cosette ang kaniyang underwear na nakapatong sa kama tsaka ito sinuot sa harap ng mga lalaking pumasok sa kaniyang hotel room. Sinundan nang mga ito ng tingin ang underwear na sinusuot ni Cosette hanggang sa tuluyan niya itong masuot.

Casually, she counted them. Sixteen. All of them were armed with two guns, one positioned at their sides while they held another one. The guns by their sides were pistols, while the ones they held were M4 carbines.

Alam ni Cosette na mahihirapan siya sa mga ito lalo pa't alam niyang magagaling ang mga men-in-black na ito. Kailangan niyang kumilos ng mabilis para matalo ang mga ito.

While Cosette was silently, yet quickly calculating her possible moves, Mr. Travis ordered his men to search the entire room, believing that Cosette was the only one capable of stealing the money he sought.

"I am here to get what's rightfully mine! Give back my money!" mariing sabi ni Mr. Travis, habang hindi inaalis ang tingin kay Cosette.

"Ang manyak talaga ng matandang lalaki na 'to!"

Hindi mapigilan ni Cosette ang pag-ikot ng kaniyang mga mata, bago lumitaw ang isang mapanlokong ngiti sa kaniyang labi. She decided to play along, knowing she could annoy Mr. Travis.

"Oh, really? Your money? Well, I must say, you're great at finding misplaced funds," sagot niya nang may kasamang pang-uuyam, binigyang diin ang salitang "yours."

Mr. Travis became more frustrated by Cosette's casual attitude. "Don't play games with me, young lady. I know you're the one who took the money," sabi nito, his voice filled with anger.

Nagkunwaring inosente si Cosette, ang tono ng kaniyang boses ay puno ng pagkabigla.

"Oh, me? Stealing your precious money? How flattering that you think so highly of me! But I must say, accusing me without any evidence is quite amusing. Do you have any proof to support your claims?"

Mr. Travis clenched his fists, his face turning red with anger. Wala siyang maisip na sagot sa sinabi ng babae. "You... You think you're clever, don't you? Well, I won't fall for your tricks! I'll find that money, and you'll pay for what you've done!"

Napatawa ng malumanay si Cosette, natutuwa siya dahil sa pikon na mukha ng kaharap. "Oh, Mr. Travis, your threats are as empty as your accusations," umiiling pang sabi ni Cosette.

"But please, go ahead and try to find your 'missing' money. I'm sure it'll be quite an adventure for you. Just don't forget your detective hat and magnifying glass!"
