Chapter 17: No One is There
(Jerwin's POV)
---------------- ?
Police Station! Police Station!
I hastily parked my truck in front of the two-story building, with its crumbling yellow paint and faded "District 9 Police Station" sign.. Sa dinami-dami naman ng station na pagtatapunan, dito pa sila talaga pinatapon sa mukha ring patapon na presinto -- no offense.. I hope no one's lurking in the shadows armed with a camera or anything like that.
I ran up the filthy stairs, taking two at a time, until I reached the inside of the station .. I walked up to the policeman stationed at the desk and gave him a small smile..
Ako:Hi... Uh, I'm here to bail out two ladies that were picked up from a club earlier?
Policeman:Oh! Mr. Santos? Uh, sandali lang poh..
He went through some papers, discussed the offense charged to my cousin and my fiancée, and then finally, he took the bail money.. I walked to the jail cell and saw Venice talking to one of the detention prisoners, and Nicole listening intently.. O_O
Venice:Really?!? Nakulong ka kaseh nagskandalo ka sa harap ng bahay ng ex mo??
Prisoner 1:Oo.. Disturbing the peace daw.
Venice:But they do that in the movies all the time! Pano na lang ang romance?!?
-___-
"Romance"?
Ako:Uh, ahem.
Napatingin silang lahat sa'kin, and Nicole immediately flew over and grabbed the bars separating us..
Nicole:Cousinnn!!!:D
Ako:Hello, Ate.. So what happened to the promise of not getting in trouble tonight?
Nicole:Well, yea.. about that... Venice slapped her first.
Venice:Hey!
Ako:Venice? O_O
Nicole:Yup.. So technically, it was her who got us in trouble.:)
Venice:Oh, so now it's my fault?
Ako:*sigh*Nevermind. Just come on and get out.
Binuksan ni Mr. Policeman ung jail cell and the two girls bounced out.. It's good to see they're okay after spending one or two hours in jail.. And nakapag-bonding pa sila nung preso.
I quickly approached Venice just to make sure she's not traumatized by everything that happened.. Nakaka-traumatize talaga minsan ang pinsan ko.. :P
She doesn't look shaken, but... what's up with that glance she's giving me?
Ako:Are you okay?
Venice:Yea.
Ako:Are you hurt anywhere?
Venice:No.
She's still not looking at me... Venice has always, always looked into my eyes when we talk.. It's one of the reasons I'm so fascinated with her.. She's not intimidated by
