"RJ!!! Can I borrow Yaya Virgie, please?"

"What's wrong?"

"Can you send Yaya Virgie here to the office?"

RJ hears a child screaming in the background

"Kaninong anak yan? Yaya Virgie is at home. I'll go there instead"

"I NEED HEEEELP!!!" Dei ended the call and sounded she was about to cry

RJ fixed his things and left his office.

"Sir, Uuwi na po ba kayo?"

"May urgent meetings pa ba ako for today? If there are, can you send my apologies and reschedule them?"

"Sige, Sir. May review lang ng mga security footages, I'll leave them sa desk niyo. Wala naman kayong urgent meetings." and Tom whispers, "Kasi na-cancel ko na, masunurin ata ako"

"Ano?"

"Wala, wala, Sir. Sige po, ako na ang bahala dito"

 "Pupuntahan ko si Dei, may emergency daw."

RJ went immediately to one of the offices in the Mendoza Building. The assistant told him that Dei was inside the office. He knocked and opened the door.

The Dei that he found was far from the Dei that he knew. It didn't look at Dei at all.

"Dei!"

"RJ, oh, thank good you are here!"

"What happened to you?" and he looked at Dei, he tried to remove what seems to be lego pieces on her hair, and white powder and her hair seemed to be pulled in all directions. Her dress had wet patches of white liquid and what looks like white powder as well. She was not wearing any shoes and seem to be missing an earring, too. 

The room was covered in a white powder, lego pieces, little stuff toys and papers scattered all over the room. 

"You're asking me what happened?"

She dragged RJ to a corner, and pointed, "This one happened!"

A baby girl about 2 years old was scribbling something on the wall using a crayon. She was had white powder in her hair, and the hem of her dress looked wet and she was missing a sock and a shoe.

RJ removed his suit, untucked his shirt and folded the sleeves of his shirt. He then sat beside the girl and said "Hello Little Nicola, how are you? Do you remember Uncle RJ?"

The girl looked at him and continued scribbling.

"RJ, see she doesn't listen! I tried giving her milk! Playing with her. She does the opposite of what I tell her to do!"

"Dei, did Coleen leave a baby bag? Can please you get me wet wipes? And can you also please where the missing sock and the other pair of shoes? What time did she eat?"

"Mga one hour ago." Dei handed the wet wipes to RJ. RJ looked at the time, 11 in the morning.

"Pwede pa. Dei, pakuha naman ako please ng water ni Nicola, thank you!"

RJ opened his arms, he called Nicola. "Nicola, carry?"

Nicola dropped the crayon and crawled to where RJ was and opened her arms. RJ carried the little girl, stood up and started cleaning her face first with wet wipes.
