January 13...

Bea and Maddie was on the quarters preparing for their mission when Mika entered the office.

"Hey, I have good news! Guess who got a mission today." Mika excitingly said.

"Um. Us?" Bea uncertainly said.

"That's right!" Mika almost jumped in hugging Maddie.

"What's got you chirpy? We knew this mission since last week. Ngayon ka lang naexcite?" Sabi naman ni Maddie.

Nagtatakang tumingin sakanya si Mika.

"Now, you're confusing me." Maddie said.

"We have a mission?!" Mika reacted.

"Um? Kakasabi mo lang kanina? Good news! Remember?" Bea said.

"No, no. What I'm talking about is a different mission. I accepted a mission from our past client, Mr. James. Remember him?" Sabi naman ni Mika.

"What? You accepted a mission outside the agency? Outside Mr. Palou's knowledge? Mika.." Bea reacted.

"Mika, alam mong bawal 'yan. We should only do missions given by our agency." Dagdag ni Maddie.

"I know. I'm sorry! I thought we won't have any missions for today. What are we gonna do?" Mika worried.

"First point, with or without missions scheduled, you shouldn't have accepted other mission. Malalagot tayo niyan kay Mr. Palou." Bea said.

"Second, call off the mission with Mr. James. Tell him we can't do it!" Bea added.

"I can't." Nag-aalangang tumingin si Mika kina Bea. "I mean, we can't."

"What do you mean?" Nagugulhang tanong ni Maddie.

"Because Mr. James gave us a threat that he'll kill us if we'll blow the mission?" Mika said.

"What?! Why? Did you.. oh God, you had a really big deal, huh?" Bea asked and Mika nodded.

"I'm sorry! He offered me a really good price!"

"See! That's why were just allowed to accept missions that passed through Mr. Palou. They are better in negotiating."

Pinakalma naman ni Maddie si Bea. "Calm down. You being so furious won't help."

Bea raised a brow on her. "And what would? Calming?!"

"Wag mo ako tataasan ng boses, Isabel." Maddie warned.

Bea sighed.

"I know I'm the one who put us through this situation but what's our plan?" Mika said.

Sinamaan naman siya ng tingin ni Bea.

"Ok, here's what we're gonna do. Both of you will do Mr. James mission. I'll take care the other mission." Maddie suggested.

"But Maddie.." Bea started to say.

"Gusto mo pa bang mabuhay o ano?"

"Of course, I want! But how about your safety? We're partners! We should be looking out for each other!" Bea said.

Maddie get her things. "I'll be fine, Isabel."

Nilapitan ni Maddie si Bea. "Ikaw ang mag-iingat. I don't want to see any scratch on you. Nagkakaintindihan ba tayo, de Leon?"
