Bongbong woke up alone. He frowned and searched for Leni but she wasn't there, her clothes, phone, and other stuff weren't there either. He checked the time and it's 5am. He slowly stood up and get dressed.
Where are you, Leni?
He checked his phone but there were no signs of her. Only three missed calls which he decided to call back later.
Where are you, Leni?
He wanted to call her but he doesn't have her number. He didn't want to call Fred as well. He sighed, searching the area if there's a sign of her, but there were none.
Thirty minutes later, he got a message from Jerico asking him to meet him at the front desk at 10am. He replied affirmatively.

"Anong nangyari sa'yo?" Janice frowned at Leni. "Bakit paika-ika ka maglakad?" They met at breakfast.
Leni shook her head and occupied her seat. They started to eat.
"Grabe hangover ko! Either I need to sleep or I need another drink." Janice said.
"Inom tayo?" Leni asked.
Janice looked at her incredulously, "Wow! Breakfast palang uy!"
Leni rolled her eyes. "Ano naman? Sayang naman ang stay natin dito kung hindi natin susulitin diba?"
"Hayyy! Sige na nga!" Janice approved. "Yayain natin sina Bong."
Leni coughed. "Sorry, sorry. Nasamid lang." She wiped the spilled coffee on her mouth. "Huwag na natin sila ayain. Tayo lang."
Janice frowned. "Boring mo naman."
Leni chuckled. "Pero mamaya na kasi puntahan ko lang si Jerico sa front desk. After ko dun, inom na tayo."
"Bakit ano meron?" Janice asked.
Leni shrugged. "Di ko din alam. Basta tinext nya ako sabi i-meet ko daw sya at 10."
Janice nodded.

"Hey!"
Leni closed her eyes, wanting to evaporate into thin air after hearing that familiar voice. She's now at the front desk waiting for Jerico. She slowly turned around and saw Bongbong, "Hi!" She almost whispered.
He went to her side. "Where have you been?"
She pretended not to care.
"Len?" He called.
"Hmm?" She looked at him.
"Sabi ko where have you been? I've been looking for you kanina pa." He reiterated.
"Huh? Uh wala— wala naman— I was just—"
"Finally! You're here!" Jerico interrupted.
Both Bongbong and Leni frowned. They didn't know why they're being called.
"I want to talk to you two." Jerico started. "There were reports earlier today that there's been tourists who went to the nearby beach, nude." He emphasized.
Bongbong and Leni were both stunned.
"Uh— did the, uh, report state the names of those tourists?" Leni asked.
Jerico shook his head, "No."
Bongbong and Leni was relieved.
"But the place was equipped with HD cameras, so their faces are clear." Jerico said.
