"Traitor"
ALEXIS
Nagising siya ng tunog ng kanyang awdotibo. Who would call her as early this morning? Tinatamad pa siyang bumangon. She not in the shape to talk to anyone. Kung hindi lang nagreklamo ang kaibigan niyang si Ena.
"Alexis, pwede ba if you don't have a plan of answering your phone just throw it out of the window!"
She's also not on the shape to arguing with annoying best friend of her, so she decided to take the call. Struggling in her half senses, she picked up her phone and balance it between her ear and shoulder.
"Alexis!" nanginginig na boses ni JM ang sumalubong sa kanya. "I received another threat!" JM said at the other line.
She imagine how horrible look JM this time and she have the feeling mas malala pa iyon compared to the last time. His voice shakes in fear as if he just have a worst nightmare. He's sleepy, maaring bagong gising lang ito tulad niya how come na naka-received agad ito ng death threat nang ganoon kaaga?
"And you wouldn't believe it but I found it under my pillow."
"What!"
"Shout pa more Alexis!"
"Will you please shut up your mouth Ena?!" Jm telling her something but she can't hear it clearly because of Ena.
Ena orchestrating two of her finger to the famous peace sign and act as if she's zippering her mouth. Napansin siguro ng kaibigan na seryoso siya.
"Wait JM relax okay? I'll be there in---" she stop midway of her sentence when Ena interrupt again.
"Wait---sino si JM?" Obviously, hearing her saying a guy's name piques her interest.
She shushed Ena with a finger on her lips. Pagtatapos ay tinakpan ang mouth piece ng telepono. "Ano ba?" asik niya kay Ena bago sinagot muli ang tawag.
"Okay Alexis," JM replied at the other end, tila nakuha naman nito ang ibig niyang sabihin kahit hindi niya iyon natuloy. She hang up the call and took a quick bath. She dressed up with her usual attire—skinny jeans and plain white tee and cover her hair with black cap.
"Ena I'll go ahead, maiwan na muna kita."
"Sanay na 'ko maiwan!" reply naman ng baliw niyang kaibigan. May hugot, palibhasa iniwan ng boyfriend at pinagpalit sa ibang babae.
Hindi na niya pinansin ang pag-dadrama nito at umalis. She heaved a sigh bago sumakay sa kanyang motor. Ilang araw na lang din naman malalaman na nila kung sino ang salarin.
KATH
Kath hum a tune as she fold the neatly iron clothes. Maaga pa kaya naman may oras pa siya para sa pagtutupi ng damit. Magkasama sila ni Ella sa dorm at may dalawa pang kasamang babaeng pulis na kapwa nila ng ranggo. Si Ivan naman ay Niel sa kabilang kwarto at ang dalawang Inspector naman na sina Alejandro at Matt ang magkasama sa kwarto.
In demand at walang pinipiling oras ang trabaho nila. That's why the government—SCBI provide shelter for them. Para magkakasama at magkalalapit lang sila.
"Kath kanina pa tumutunog 'yong phone mo?" Ella informed her, Wala kasi siyang pakialam na sagutin ang tawag. Hindi naman literal na walang pakialam, marahil ay hindi niya lang marinig dahil malakas pa ang boses kaysa sa tunog ng telepono.
"Ay, pakiabot naman Ella please?"
Sinunod naman ni Ella ang utos niya. She took her phone from Ella and looked at the number registered on the screen. Sino naman kaya ang bagong nuberong tumawag sa kanya? Hindi iyon naka-register contact niya kaya malamang hindi niya ito kilala.
