A/N: Just a short, condensed update! Kasi bukas will be the most awaited chase. Mahuhuli na ba talaga natin si Zsazsa the bruhabels? Let's just see. Hahahaha! Sorry for the grammatical errors and misspelled words. Thank you, enjoy reading!

"Sshhh, love... Tahan na please?" Eto pa rin si Regine, umiiyak sa mga bisig ko. I can't help but to stay for some minutes para maasikaso siya. I removed her face on my shoulder and cupped it. "Wag kang matakot, okay? We're here for you. Sisiguraduhin namin ng Ate mo na hindi makakalapit si Zsazsa sayo. You're safe with us."

"N-natatakot a-ako...b-baka kung a-anong gawin n-niya s-satin..." She said while sobbing.

"Tahan na, please? I promise you, nothing bad will happen to you, to us." Hinagod ko ang likod nito.

Thank goodness she was already catching her breath and stopped crying. She wiped her tears, namamaga ang mga mata nito.

"Regine, you'll be fine. For now, just stay with me. May lalakarin pa yan si Ogie." Sharon spoke.

"Where are you going?" Regine looked at me in an instant.

Tumingin muna ako kay Sharon. A way of getting permission from her kung pwede bang sabihin ang pinapagawa niya sakin. She nodded her head. Well, she should know half of it by now, nakarecieve na rin si Regine ng threat.

"I'm going to the police station. Zsazsa attempted to kill Sharon and she is escaping today. We met earlier when I went to Oracle. Sinabi niya sakin ang flight number ng sasakyan niyang eroplano. The police needs that information para macorner namin si Zsazsa. And all of these will end Regine." I briefly explained. I decided to keep that thing about Martin. Sa ngayon, si Sharon pa lang ang dapat makaalam nun.

She sniffed. "Okay. Ingat ka." I kissed her forehead and I went out of that room.

This is now or never Ogie. You have to catch Zsazsa to end this mess. Kailangan mo na siyang tiklupin for your sake, for Regine's and the rest of my surroundings. Hindi ko hahayaang may masasaktan na naman sa kabaliwang ito.

I rushed to the ground floor at pinaandar ang sasakyan. The police station was a 20 minute drive from here and it's already 7 in the morning. Medyo mabigat na yung daloy ng trapiko. I drived myself as fast as I can get to the station. Dumaan sa mga shortcuts at umiwas ng traffic. Buti nalang kabisado ko ang siyudad.

After surviving the long drive, ipinarada ko na ang sasakyan ko at bumaba na. Yes, I'm finally here. Wala ng ready ready, this should come to an end.

Dumiretso ako sa front desk ng stasyon. "Andito ba si Major?"

"Kakapasok lang po. Sino ho sila?" The policewoman asked me.

"Herminio Jose Alcasid. I suppose he's expecting me." I fixed myself to look presentable.

"Ay oo nga po. Wait lang sir." She was fixing her things below the table. "Zeny, ikaw muna bahala dito. Ihahatid ko lang si Mr. Alcasid. Sumunod nalang po kayo sakin." She started walking at nakasunod naman ako sa likod niya.

His office was located at the top most floor of this 5-storey building. Kumatok muna ang pulis. "Sir Lagdameo? Andito na po si Mr. Alcasid."

"Sige. Papasukin mo." I immediately went inside his office. It was wider than I thought. Syempre Major e. "You can go now PO1 Alice Yanan." He formally spoke.

"Sit down, please." Umupo naman ako. Magkatapat kaming umupo sa meeting area nila.

"So, are you Ms. Padilla's ex-girlfriend and apparently her bestfriend rin?" He started. Ogie relax. You just need to be honest.

"Opo."

"How did you get the information na aalis ito papuntang Maynila?"

"I was at Oracle then. May maliit na bangayan na naganap because she really wanted me back. Inisip niyang ihahatid ko siya sa private jet niya papuntang Maynila pero I insisted. She just easily dropped the flight number on me. Maybe nautakan na rin niya akong sasabihin ko talaga yun sa inyo." I explained to him. "Zsazsa isn't an easy opponent, I suppose. She's clever enough Major."

"Tama ka. Kailangan natin ng isang komprehensibong plano para makulong na ng tuluyan ang babaeng iyan." He commented. "Siya nga pala, kaano-ano mo ang mga Velasquez? Isa ka bang Cuneta?"

"Kasintahan ko po si Regine." I simply said. Tumango tango lang ito bilang sagot.

"Wala ka na bang sasabihin pang makakatulong sa amin?"

"Alam niyo na ba pong siya ang pumatay kay Martin Nivera? Yung CEO ng Marketing sa Maynila?" I double-checked. Just in case hindi nila alam, para may madiin silang kaso sa kanya. "Kung sakaling nasabi na ni Sharon sa inyo, totoo ho iyon. Sinabi rin yan sakin ni Zsazsa kanina."

"Hindi basta bastang kinakalat ang mga bagay na ganyan, pero bakit ganun lang kadali para sa kanya? May masamang kutob ako dito...." Natahimik kaming dalawa sa loob ng kuwarto. Nag-iisip.

Nagsalita ulit si Major matapos ang ilang segundo. "Basta't mapapasakamay natin yan si Padilla, matatapos na rin ang lahat ng ito. Kailangan natin siyang mahawakan sa leeg at ipagpatuloy pa ang imbestigasyon." Dagdag nito. Tama siya.

Nagsimula na itong tumawag ng mga kasama. He called the NBI also and a taskforce to help us. Tumayo naman ako't lumipat sa likuran para umupo rin. Currently, nagb-briefing pa si Major kung anong gagawin nila at kung ano ang magiging kilos ng salakay na gagawin nila.

"We need to corner her here at ang iba nama'y magiging lookout sa labas, in case papalag ito't magtatangkang tumakas sa mga kamay natin...." Major continued explaining.

I was also listening to their plan. Baka kasi may maitulong rin ako. Ayoko namang maging display lang sa operasyon. Even though I'm just an informant, I also want to help.

My senses came back when my phone rang. I checked the caller ID and it was Zsazsa. Lumabas ako ng meeting room at sinagot kaagad ang tawag.

"Zsazsa."

"Hi Ogs! Di mo ba talaga ako ihahatid? Sige na pleaaaase?"

"No."

"Ay nako. Magtatampo na talaga ako sayo sige ka. Susumbong kita kila Tita!"

A brilliant idea came into my mind. Konting push lang Ogie para hindi halata.

"Alam mo mapilit ka rin e no."

"Just like the good ol days! Sige na. Pleaaaase."

"Tsk. Oo na."

"Sige! Mga 9 punta ka na rito ha?"

"Yeah. Yeah."

"Sige. I love you! Muwah! See you!"

Muntik na akong masuka sa sinasabi niya. I have to swallow my pride to finally end this.

Pumasok ako sa meeting area. "Sir, I have a proposal to do. I've come with a brillant plan to lure her." I spoke authoritably.

"Then, spill the beans Mr. Alcasid." The Major gave me an assuring smile.
