"ACK---" napabalikwas ako ng tayo nang may mabigat na kung ano man ang dumagaan sa may leeg ko. Fuck. I was already at the depths of my dreams and my sleep was seriously sound not until- I looked at my left- Zen had his arms around my neck. What the fuck?

Anong kagaguhan ang nangyari kagabi?

Tumayo ako ng maayos at initsa ang braso ni Zen pabalik sakanya, sakto tumama sa mukha ni Twelve ang palad niya pero ang gago, 'di man lang  gumising. I felt a bit nauseous when I stood up, napasandal ako sa pader. Right. My memories of last night's happenings was a blur, but I'm pretty sure we fainted because of fatigue. Napakamot ako ng batok.

Feeling ko dinaganan ako ng limang kalabaw dahil sa sakit ng katawan ko. Fuck.

"Wake up," I said in a hoarse voice, I kicked their legs lightly. "Hoy, mga ulupong."

"Hmm!" Zen groaned with a frown. Tangina, nakapikit na't lahat suplado pa din.

Hiro had his hands searching for something with his eyes closed, "Pengeng zonrox..." he whispered.

Bumusangot ako, "Ha? Aanhin mo?"

"Gusto ko nang matulog habang buhay. Pengeng zonrox..."

"Hiroki, bantayan mo yung kamay mo, kung ano anong hinahawakan." Twelve groaned. Hiro immediately stood up and kept his hands away from Twelve's... punyeta.

"WHAT THE FUCK!" Agad agad siyang tumayo at dumiretso ng CR. 'Di ko alam kung bakit, para siguro maghugas.

I just sighed and walked towards the fridge. Kumuha ako ng isang malamig na pitsel ng tubig at naglakad pabalik sakanila, "'Pag 'di pa kayo bumangon jan, for the first time mararanasan niyong maligo."

And I didn't expect it to be effective but it is, bumangon ang dalawa at bumusangot sa'kin. Nanlaki ang mata ko, ganito ba sila katakot maligo?

"What the fuck's up and you're this early?" Zen hissed at me with wrinkled forehead. Twelve wiped the drool on his mouth and pushed himself to stand.

"Panibagong araw, panibagong hamon," Twelve answered and stretched his arms, "We need to investigate those left-behind stuff and boy that won't be easy~"

Napairap ako, "Ah, tangina. Almost forgot that we're dealing with the police."

"So?" Zen asked. Hiro came back and scoffed.

"The bags are on SWAT's custody, and SWAT is part of the police, and the police hates US," sagot niya habang pinupunasan ang mukha at kamay ng tuwalya. "They're an insecure bunch kasi mas may kwenta tayo kesa sakanila."

"Owwwwww!!!"

"Eyyyyyyy!!!"

"Truth hurts, mehn."

Zen grinned, "So what's the plan then? Do you think they won't let us see the bags?"

Twelve shook his head and started play with his nails, "Nope, they'll let us, of course. After all, mahilig silang magpasa ng mga trabaho nila sa'tin. HOWEVER..."

"They'll keep an eye on us," ako na ang tumapos sa sasabihin niya. "Isang maliit na pagkakamali lang natin, gagamitin nila 'yon laban sa'tin."

"You know, the usual mga walanghiya na makakapal ang mukha."

"True."

"Tsk," Zen rolled his eyes and went straight to the CR. I grinned to myself, he's getting the hang of it. Unti-unti na siyang nasasanay sa buhay na'to.
