WE HAVE BEEN SAVED YET AGAIN.
Two thousand Police Autocorps were dislodged to accomplish an important task: the assassination of one of the most dangerous humans of Manila, SPO3 Jay Raymundo, who is also found out to be a druglord. Whilst on the mission, fifty-seven Autocorps were destroyed by Raymundo. No other casualties were reported. Raymundo was declared as Manilas' Most Wanted, and was under the Shoot To Kill order of The President. It has been three months since he was last seen in the public eye.
A Modern-day Superwoman
Raissa Velasquez was rewarded PHP 1,000,000.00 as promised by the President. A month ago, the President announced that whoever will inform about Raymundo's whereabouts will be rewarded. Prior to this week, a letter signed by Raissa Velasquez was delivered to the government office with an attachment of Raymundo's address sketch in Sta. Mesa, Manila. Police Autocorps immediately reinforced a search party and successfully executed Raymundo.
AUTOCORPS ARE THE FUTURE.
WE NOW LIVE IN A CRIME-FREE COUNTRY.
THIS IS THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES.

The beads of red sweat dripped into Officer Raymundo's blue collar down to his golden badge that bears his name. He released a huge amount of breath before finally collapsing to the ground. He looked at the lavender sky; at the back of his head he thought of the last Autocorp he battled against and how it crumbled leaving its broken gears behind, and he also thought of his lovely Raissa Velasquez and the last night they spent together looking at a starless night sky. He stared at the sky above him, wondering when was the last time he saw a bird fly by.
He raised his right hand, looking at the gun he was holding. He felt its weight and how it seemed like it is looking down at him with pride and superiority. It was his master and he was its slave, and a slave would always follow his master's requests. He placed his master's mouth against his temple and pulled the trigger that would be the end of the ongoing war.
