Kill me not

Four

"Hey, Ace." Grover called for attention.

"Yes?"

"Well, since you were the one that was told to chase for that girl, can you tell her name?"

"Oh, wait" he paused remembering the only thing he guess he knew "oh right. It's Alexandria Joyce." He said. Cool surname she got there huh.

"Thanks. Now since we are now in her town, I think we will sooner see her." Grover stated as he looked around him. He thinks they are in a what they called market because there are so many people around and they are so noisy that it kind of irritates their ears. They're not used to it.

"Hey, madam." Grover poked a lady that is holding a child.

"Oh, hijo." The woman replied.

"Ahm, do you know a girl named Alexandria Joyce?" Ace asked the lady.

"Aba'y Inglesero pala ang mga ito. Alexandria Joyce? I think yes. Why?" (Oh this is an English man)

"Can you tell where she lives?"

"She lives there" and then she pointed one small mountain and Ace and Grover were shocked, it's too far "but she stays here" and then pointed at one small house near them. The two sighed in relief. They thought they're gonna walk for hours again.

"Well thank you madam. May the gods bless you." Grover said and excused themselves.

While walking, Ace observed the house that is getting bigger as they went near it. It's not that bad though, he thought. Grover knocked on the wooden door thrice and was opened by a girl. She's a mestiza with long hair, brown eyes, pink and thin lips, pointy nose, and petite body, in short she's beautiful. Well those are Ace's description about her.

"Sino kayo?" (Who are you?) the girl asked while raising her left eyebrow. She thought they were handsome but not enough for her to trust them.

"Well...?" Ace looked at Grover with a confused face wandering what the girl had said. "Ehem. Well, can you translate it madam?" Grover asked politely and smiled at her.

"Mga kano, tss. What do you want?" She asked. (Foreigners.)

"We're looking for miss Alexandria Joyce. Is she here?" Ace answered looking straight into her eyes. He thinks that she's that girl.

"What's with her? Do you need anything?"

Ace looked at Grover. They did not plan about what they're gonna say when they already meet the girl. But at least Grover had an idea, hope it will sound valid.

"We will tell you our reason unless you'll tell us where she is." Grover said. He grinned when he saw the girl flinched a little.

"I am her." She stated with a fierce look on her face. Ace smirked with that. He likes hard to get and fierce girls, you know. The girl raised her left eyebrow as she looks at Ace.

"I see. We are here to investigate you." Grover said and showed a card written on it was a capitalized and bold words; "POLICE OFFICER".

"Are you sure you are? You're not wearing a uniform, you don't have a gun. You don't even look like one. And why are you going to investigate me?"

"As for the police part, we are allowed not to wear our uniform since it's not yet done. We're waiting for it to be finished since we've just arrived here last saturday."

"Oh, a police with handicaps, huh?"

Grover got offended a little but continued with the act, as well as Ace, he entered the chit chat, "He's my most trusted assistant, miss. Don't offend him."

Andy raised her eyebrows, "Now what?" She asked.

"Can't we enter first?"

"Ewan ko sayo." (Whatever.) she said and rolled her eyes heavenwards and opened the door wider enough for them to enter.
