"Can you just fcking stick to the plan?" Nakakabinging sigaw ng Commander ng grupo namin.

"Thieves don't follow any plans. If you're not informed." Wika ko.

"I really like your British accent, Mantis." Agad kong binato si Dave ng kutsilyo na na ilagan naman niya.

Tumakbo si Commander Heilton sa isang iskinita na ikina-irap ko. Di na niya alam na kaya nahuhuli ang mga magnanakawa dahil sa mga eskinitang 'yan? Baliw!

"What.an.idiot." nasabi ko nalang at pumasok sa loob ng bangko. Sumunod rin naman si Dave at hinapit ako sa beywang.

"Good evening Sir, Madame. How can we help you?" Salubong ng isang lalaki.

"Where's the vault? You know, money vault." Kumunot ang noo niya pero ngumiti rin agad.

"It's in the 5th floor. Why ma'am?"

I flastered a smile. "We're going to check our money."

"Oh. You can't do that madame. It's prohibited. You can check your money using your passbook."

I fake a shocked face. "Oh. I thought I can check it right here, in that vault. I admit I'm a bit dissapointed. Your very strict. Can you make an exemption, for us?"

"No, we can't madame. My apologies."

"Honey." Tawag ko kay Dave. "Withdraw our 10 billion please. Let's find some bank where we can deposit it and we can check it right inside the vault, please. I badly want to see our money."

Hinagod naman ni Dave ang likod ko. "Alright. Mr. Laviosa, we're going to withdraw all our money from this bank. 10 billion."

Namutla naman ang lalaki at agad na pumunta sa isang opisina.

"You really sucked at acting, dork." Inis na bulong ko sa kaniya pagka upo namin sa isang couch.

Dumating naman ang lalaki na may kasama pang dalawang lalaki. "Okay maam. Please don't withdraw all you money. Instead, we'll let you check your money."

Agad akong ngumiti. "Really? Okay then."

Namilog ang mata ko sa laki ng vault na nasa harap namin. Heaven! Maraming pera. Salapi. My life.

Dahan dahan itong bumukas.

A phone suddenly ring. My phone.

"Hello?"

"I got the code."

"Alright." Humarap ako sa kanila. "I'm so sorry to interrupt but I have a business meeting to attend. You know, 50 million is at stake if l don't go to that meeting. We'll come back maybe tomorrow."

Hilaw na ngumiti ang lalaki. "But we're here ma'am."

"I'm really sorry." Dumukot ako ng limang libo mula sa pouch ko. "Here. I'm really sorry. Thank you for your time."

Agad kong hinila si Dave na nakatulala pa dahil nakatambad sa aming harapan ang pera. Napakaraming pera.

"You really suck at acting!" Inis na bulyaw ko kay Dave pagkapasok namin ng van.

"Sorry naman. Eh sa nalula ako sa dami ng pera eh."

I mentally rolled my eyeballs. "Stupid!"

"Teka.. Nagbigay ka ng limang libo? Hoy! Mantis. Sinasabi ko sa'yo. Malaking pera ang binigay mo."

"Mas malaki naman ang makukuha natin mamayang gabi." I grin crept into my lips. "Tsaka, hello. Para di sila manghinala. A rich person should give big amount of money para matawag sila na mayaman. How can you be so stupid?"
