Mikha entered the bureau, her mind still clouded by the lingering shadows of the nightmare from the previous night.

Di parin maalis sa kaniyang isip lahat ng mga malalagim na imahe ng gabing iyon that led to Charlotte's death whch weighed heavily on her,but she wouldn't let them interfere with her job.

Today is crucial, the scheduled interrogation of the drug lord they had captured.

Sa loob ng interrogation room, Colet was already at work, employing every ounce of intimidation she had to make the drug lord talk.

Across from the room, Stacey, Gwen,Jhoanna and Sheena were listening intently to the exchange through the one way glass.

When captain Lim entered the observation room, they quickly snapped to attention offering a snappy salute.

"At ease" she said, her tone calm yet authoritative. She scanned the room, noting the tension etched on Colet's face on the oppoaite panel as she faced down the drug lord.

"Ayaw parin ba magsalita?" Mikha asked with her hands behind her baxk.

"Yes captain, mahigit isang oras na pero wala pa din" Stacey muttered, her voice weary as she sipped her coffee.Still inebriated from the previous night's drinking session while hiding behind a pair of dark wayfarers because the flourescent light was too harsh on her eyes.

Mikha then noticed Jhoanna sitting nearby, an ice pack pressed on her head.

She looked just as worse as Stacey.

Captain Lim raised an eyebrow in mild concern.

"Wala captain hangover lang to" Jhoanna muttered, barely opening her eyes.

Mikha sighed inwardly-they really couldn't handle their liquor.

"Sheena i-track mo itong plate number mamaya please" Mikha ordered handing Sheena a slip of paper with a plate number scrawled on it.

Sheena nodded, pocketing the note without a word.

With that captain Lim turned and entered the interrogation room, her presence immediately shifting the atmosphere.

She stood quietly in the corner, arms akimbo, observing the exchange between Colet and the drug lord.

Coletnoticing Mikha's entrance, grabbed the drug lord by the collar, pulling him close.

"Pag di ka nagsalita talagang gagawin ko lahat mabulok ka lang sa kulungan!" she growled.

The drug lord sneered, clearly unimpressed.

"Really? Sa tingin ba ninyo ay aamin ako, what a bunch of losers you guys?" he taunted, his tone dripping with arrogance.

Colet leaned in closer, her voice low and dangerous.

"Gusto mo bang pahirapan ka namin?" Colet asked tightening her grip.

The drug lord laughed, a sinister sound that echoed through the room. His eyes roamed over Colet's features, leering at her with disgusting intent.

"Makipag one night stand ka sa akin, and I'll confess" he said, his words laced with sleaze.

Colet's face flushed with a mix of anger and embarrassment. Her fists clenched, and she was about to strike the smug bastard when Mikha intervened, her hand shooting out to stop Colet mid-motion.

"Ako na ang bahala dito" Mikha said in a tone that brooked no argument.Colet shot the drug lord a final, venomous glare before retreating from the room, rejoining the rest of alpha team outside.
