"Pañero!" a man greeted the other old man as he enters a huge mansion.

"Pañero! Good Evening! Welcome, welcome." the old man who was seated greeted back. "Thank you for coming."

"No problem. Anytime. But I'm just a little bit curious as to why the sudden invitation? You know you can call me anytime."

"I'm just being cautious. I'm not that confident with our lines at the moment. Who knows our wires might already be tapped." 

"Tapped? Who would dare do that to you? And why are you thinking of that?"

"Well, I will admit. That extortion case is making me a little uncomfortable."

"But why? You know that your name will never be involved in that one."

"I'll get straight to the point. I don't like how blue ribbon committee runs its investigation. I don't want this investigation to go deeper and deeper."

"Don't worry Pañero, I'm assuring you that even if it progresses in Congress, it won't prosper in Senate."

"I don't think I'm making myself clear here. Let me get straight to the point. I want that investigation over. That Faulkerson lawyer is making too much noise."

"Pañero, you know what. Don't over think. Maingay lang yang abugado na yan. Nagpapasikat. Pero sinasabi ko sayo, madaling tapalan ng pera yan."

"Sige. Magpadala tayo ng kakausap dyan. Kung hindi yan madadaan sa mabuting usapan, daanin natin sa dating gawi."

"Tama ka dyan. Tayo pa ba. Ang tagal na natin dito. Kailan ba may humarang satin. Lahat ng bumabangga sa organisasyon natin pinapatahimik natin."

"Tama. Kaya pag yang mga abugadong pulpol na yan, dapat na tumigil. Kung hindi, sigurado akong di niya magugustuhan ang gagawin ko sa kanila. Sayang, maganda pa naman yung babae. Hahahaha..."

"Uu nga. Hahahaha... Basta Pañero wag ka mag-alala. Pare-pareho lang naman yang mga yan. Pera lang ang habol. "

"Hahahaha... Oh sige. Dito ka na maghapunan. Halika na."

"Salamat Pañero. Salamat."

Early morning at the Enterprise Tower, Theodore Mendoza and Richard Faulkerson Sr. are having a meeting when a soft knock was heard.

"Come in." Theodore said.

"Sir, someone is looking for you." Ruby, the receptionist said.

"Me? Who is it?"

"Ahhh... Sir, kayong dalawa po ang hinahanap."

"Kaming dalawa? Sino yan?" Faulkerson Sr. asked.

"Opo Sir. Pero ayaw ibigay ang pangalan eh. Pero ang sabi sigurado daw siya na gugustuhin niyo siya kausapin."

"Bakit naman? Sino kaya yan?" Theodore asked no one. He then turned to Ruby, "Sige papasukin mo dito."

Ruby went out of the conference room to fetch the said visitor. Meanwhile both gentlemen were very much intrigued with the impending visitor.
