Magkahinang pa rin ang mga mata ni James at Devon, walang gustong sumuko. Sa tagal nang pagkakatitig ni James sa mukha ng dalaga, naka-auto-save na yata iyon sa utak nya. He then touched Devon's chin lightly, daig pa ang slow motion sa mga movies. Dahan-dahan nya etong kinabig at aktong sinara ang nakangangang bibig neto.

" I guess you are still in state of shock. Are you not happy to see me, kiddo?" sobrang lakas ng kabog ng dibdib ni Devon, hindi pa sya nakakahulma sa pagkakita sa naging biktima nya, at sa presinto pa talaga. Hindi nya masabi kung takot o pagkabigla lang ang dahilan neto, but one thing is for sure, she is in a big danger. She can sense that this guy would bring only trouble to her life.

" Have you lost your tongue? The last time we met, you really had a lot to say."

noon din ay binitawan nya ang kamay ng dalaga at bahagyang lumayo. Naglakad eto papasok sana ng presinto.

" Wait." pigil ni Devon sa binata na agad hinawakan ang braso. " You don't need to go inside. You don't have business there."

"  Now you are talking. Actually I do have business inside. Would you like come with me? I guess we have a lot to settle."

" Yes we have something to settle that is why we need to talk. Here."

" Alright then. But let me remind you first. I have here a concrete evidence that would put you behind bars, so better not to think anything stupid, understand?" may pagbabanta ang pananalita ni James.

" You must be kidding me, you can't have a witness. I could easily deny your accusation."

" Well I guess you don't know about the CCTV camera. I able to secure a footage that day and it is very clear that you and your gang were the culprit." totoong may CCTV camera doon pero hindi eto gumagana. Sinabi nya lang yun para takutin ang isa.

Kanina pagkatapos ni James maglinis bilang parte ng community service nya ay nakita nya si Devon sa plaza di kalayuan sa kinaroroonan nya. Nagmadali syang lumapit dito sa pangambang makatakas eto. Habang papalapit ay nakita nyang nagsasayaw ang dalaga, hiphop song ang sinasabayan neto pero ewan nya kung bakit ang sexy nang dati para sa kanya. Wala sa sariling kinuhanan nya ng video ang dalaga habang masayang sa ginagawa nya. Ngunit hindi pa man natatapos ang tugtog ay may lumapit na pulis sa kanila at dinala sila sa presinto. Napagbintangan ang grupo nila na mga snatchers.

" CCTV? But its not working."

" Not that day, kiddo." pang-aasar na sagot naman neto.

" I have to see that video."

" So that you could grab my cellphone and runaway like the last time, no way. Its not gonna happen, not today." hindi na nakasagot si Devon, hindi mahagilap ang tamang salitang sasabihin. Samantalang ang mga kasama nya ay tahimik na nakapanood sa kanila. " Shall we, I will be glad to escort you back to the police station."

" No, please no....... no way....... Please don't do this." aligaga na ang hitsura ni Devon na lalo namang ikinatuwa ni James. Tinitigan nya lang eto at hinintay ang susunod pa netong sasabihin. " I.... I will pay you back after.... hmm.. let say, two months?"

" But i don't need that money anymore." sabay ngumiti eto ng nakakaloko sa dalaga.

" What do you need then?"

" Justice, I need justice. I don't know you, but base on my experience I can't just let this slide like that."

" Alright, I will do anything you want." sumuko ma si Devon sa pakikipagtalo, alam nya kasing wala na syang lusot dito.
