"What do we know?" Bea asked as soon as she entered the conference room.

"Bombing took place at the school near the cathedral. So we're guessing almost 3000 may be affected." Loel said.

Napailing naman si Bea and looked at the TV where live news about the bombing is being shown.

"I tried to study, compare and contrast the two bombings and they're quite parallel." Maki said while looking at her laptop.

"Of course, it'd be connected." Bea whispered and looked at Maki's report.

"6 days after the first bombing? Not impossible." Mr. Palou chipped in.

"We need to go to the area now to investigate and to help in the rescue at the same time." Sabi ni Bea.

"What?! No, it's still dangerous." Sabi ni Loel.

"And so for the people there. If there would be no help, there would be more victims." Sabi naman ni Bea.

"Bea, that's not your work. Let the police and rescuers do that." Mr. Palou said.

"Definitely not a work but this calls that we should help. And we should do the investigations faster. Paano kung may susunod nanaman?" She looked at Deanna and signed to prepare. The other nodded.

"Bea." Pagpigil ni Loel kay Bea.

"No, kuya. I can't afford to see more babies lose their parents."

Kakapasok naman ni Tyler pero hinila agad siya ni Bea palabas.

"What why why where are we going?" Tyler asked.

"We're going to help in the rescue operations." Deanna said.

On the other hand, hindi maiwasang mag-alala ni Jho para kay Bea.

"Ate, kumalma ka nga. Tignan mo si JM, nahihilo na sa kakalakad mo." Janel said.

Kinuha naman ni Jaja si JM kay Jho.

"Would Bea be safe there?" Lovel worriedly asked.

"I hope so, ma. Even if this is part of our work, I can't help but worry for her." Sabi naman ni Jho.

Napailing naman si Lovel. "Eh why don't you tell her to lie low on her work."

"Ma, bakit ko naman gagawin yun? Mahal niya ang trabaho niya."

"Mahal din niya kayo. Hindi naman pepwedeng ganyan na nagaalala ka na lang lagi." Lovel said.

"Nagiingat naman si Bea." Jho sighed.

"Hindi natin alam ang pwedeng mangyari, Jho. If something happens to her, paano kayo ni JM?"

Natahimik naman si Jho.

"Sabi mo nga, life is not just about you and her. Meron na kayong pamilya, you have JM now." Lovel added.

"Ate, mukhang inaantok na sa JM. Patulugin ko na muna kaya sa taas?" Sabi ni Janel.

Jho looked at JM at mukha ngang matamlay ang bata. "Mukhang napagod siya sa kakalaro niyo."

"Sige. Baka dito na rin kami matulog ngayong gabi." She added.

"Oo, mas mabuti pa nga." Lovel said.

She and Jaja went upstairs to take care of JM while Jho tried to contact Bea but the latter is not answering her phone so Jho just texted her.
