"Mom, sobrang taas po ng lagnat ni Beatriz. Anong gagawin ko? Medyo nagppanic na po ako."
"Yes po. Please hurry up."
Thirdy put down the phone at kumuha ng panibagong water bath and towel para punasan si Beatriz.
It's 3am, and she looks like a burrito now, covered by the comforter, but she still feels so cold.

"Love, we'll wait for Mommy Det and Daddy Elmer, and then punta tayo ng hospital ah. They don't want me to drive nang nagppanic eh."
Bea smiled weakly and nodded.
"Do you want more chowder?"
Umiling lang si Bea.
"Kumain ka ba ng meat sa Africa?"
Umiling lang ulit si Bei.
"Water? Baka hindi malinis yung tubig don."
"Nakagat ka ba ng lamok?"
"Masakit ba ulo mo?"
"May rashes ka ba?"

He keeps walking back and forth, asking one question after another while checking on her. But when Bea reached out her arms sa kanya, Thirdy quickly went to her and held her hand.
"I'll be fine, love," she whispered weakly.
Their doorbell rang, and he ran to open the door. He saw Det at kaagad niya itong pinapasok.
"Go get her na. Tara. Your dad is waiting na sa car."
Thirdy went back to Bea and carefully lifted her into his arms. She was still wrapped in the comforter as he carried her outside and gently settled her into the car before sitting beside her.
"What superhero act na naman ang ginawa mo?" Det asked angrily.
Bea just looked down at pinatong ang ulo niya sa balikat ni Thirdy.
"Det naman, may sakit na nga ang anak mo eh," saway ni Elmer.
"Thirdy, don't allow her na to do missions ah," Det said.
