Tagapagsalaysay's POV
"Hey, Karylle...let me explain" Vice said
"Explain what?! You know that that Jackie was my step sister pero ano? You still had her as your business partner and what's worse is magkaibigan pa kayo?!" Galit na sabi ni Karrie
Napakunot ang noo ni Vice and by the looks of it parang napipikon narin siya
"What's so wrong with that?! Wala naman siyang ginawang masama saakin ah? Sayo siya may ginawa. Hindi porket ayaw mo sa kanya eh ayaw ko narin sa kanya" sabi niya
Nanlaki ang mga mata ni Karrie at nagulat din si Vice sa nasabi niya
"I'm s-sorry, Earthling. I--------"
"Stop"
Tumalikod na si Karrie at tumakbo papalayo
Naiwan naman si Vicey na napabuntong-hininga na lamang
He got his phone from his pocket and dialed Anne's number
"Vice! What's up?" Sagot ni Anne mula sa kabilang linya
"Anne, I can't do this anymore" malungkot na sabi ni Vice
"D-Do what?"
"This mission. Yung kay Jackie, nasasaktan ko na si Karylle and I don't like that"
"S-She already knew?!"
"Yes. Nandito kami ni Karylle sa sementeryo para bisitahin ang Mama niya tapos biglang dumating si Jackie and then you might know what's next"
"But Solenn and Jackie King are our only lead. You still need to be close to them at halata namang may gusto sayo si Jackie eh. The way she looks at you during our meetings. Use it as an advantage, Vice. It's our only way to know what is their relationship with our main suspect"
"P-Pero, Anne paano si Kary-----"
"By the time na matapos mo yung mission mo, she can already know what it is. You'll be able to explain everything but if you want to clear your name now, you can tell her everything but I know you won't kasi you want to protect, Karrie"
