Our favorite place (Book 1 and 2)

Thirty-Two

"Like I said, I confront him."
"Just because you assembled us doesn't make you Captain America, Jema!!!"
"Oh my God!"
"Deanna is that true?!"

"Wait." Deanna said but we kept on speaking in chorus.

"We are going to die."
"Don't be a hero Jema."
"Papatayuan kita ng rebulto."
"Got better idea?!"

"STOP!!!" Deanna's voice echoed in Bea's house.

She sighed. "Jema's right."

"Thank you. Now someone hears me."
"No Deanna."
"Delikado."
"Wait lang."
"We are going to die."

"Guys guys guys!!!" She stopped us. "I'm not a drug lord. Jade Cruz gave me the island and the money. She gave it to me voluntarily."

She was speaking slowly and she looked at all of us. "This is what I suggest we do. Jema and I will go. Someone report to the police."

"Deanna..."
"Kala ko walang police involvement"
"Finally!!"

We said in unison. She raised her hand before continuing.

"We need his confession. Jema and I will get it from him. And because we are not agents and we don't have gadgets, we'll bring out the millennial in us. We conference call. Once we have the confession we will asked the police to barge in."

"One thing." Tots said. "Police won't agree to that. Deanna, we are in the Philippines, kung nasa America tayo, yes maybe."

"Cyrus." Ced said.

"He won't agree to that. He doesn't want to get involve." Deanna declared.

"Got better idea, everybody?" Deanna asked after moments of silence. "Jema?" She asked me and shook my head no.

"Then it's settled." Bea said out of nowhere. "I'll drive you guys."

"Hon." Jia said worriedly.

"It's okay. My friend needs me there." She looked at Deanna. "Besides Jema still hates me. Makabawi man lang."

I smiled.

I created the GC that we will going to use for the surveillance.

"Voice call only." Deanna said. We all nodded.

"Who will take care of the police?"

"I'll do it." Jia volunteered and Bea nodded to her.

"Deanna, Jema, Bea, Jia. Be careful." The four of us looked at each other before nodding.

We used Bea's car.

We were quiet during the ride, which feels long, but in reality it was only 10 minutes.

What will happen? We don't know.

Who are we against really? Jon Snow? We don't know.

What if point blank they just shoot us in the head? We don't know that either.

The thought of those possible scenario scares the hell out of me.

Deanna put her hand on top of mine. She squeezed it. When I looked at her she was looking outside.

I twisted my hand so we were properly holding hands. I give it a light squeeze. She smiled, still looking outside.

"We are here." Bea said. "I will drive Jia to a police station and drive back here immediately to wait." Deanna and I nodded.

She nodded. "D? J?" Jia called our attention. "See you later."

"Of course." I said.

I initiated the voice call before stepping out the car and walked slowly to the address that they gave. We were walking for 5 minutes but still no sign of anybody.
