"You need to have that checked again,"

I sighed and glanced at him.

"Namumutla ka pa. You lost too much blood, you should go back inside,"

I nodded blankly at Max and faced him. Napailing nalang siya nang makita ang bakas ng dugo sa tagiliran ko.

I almost got a shot a while ago. Hindi ko naman inasahang ganoon pala karami ang nagbabantay doon at ang nakasunod kay Richela.

It was earlier this morning when I received a call from our security team. We've been wiretapping all the calls of the Torreses to that Dela Vega daughter, kaya nalaman ko agad ang nangyayari, at pumunta agad sa quarters.

"Zeph Torres called. Magkikita sila mamaya noong Dela Vega." Topher, one of our agents said.

"Can you track her?" I asked. Tumango naman kaad sila at sinend din sa akin ang live location.

I really had no plans of following Richela. My men can save her, I am sure of that. But unexpectedly, I received another call from my agent, saying that Richela called Faith for help because she's been chased by the Torreses.

Hindi ko pwedeng hayaan lang ang dalawa. I can't also let anyone hurt her.

"There are approximately 10 men chasing her, including Zeph Torres. 5 of our men are also after her to save her." Max said. Kakarating niya lang sa quarters nang naabutan akong papaalis na.

"I'll better be going."

Kumunot ang noo niya, "We have enough men. Calm your ass down. Kapag nakita ka na naman doon, magkakaroon na naman sila ng pang blackmail sayo,"

"As if I'm threatened,"

"Yes, you ain't. But you're obviously affected," Kibit balikat niya saka itinuro ang monitor sa harap. "Anong plano mo dyan? Those videos made you look like you're the suspect. It was clearly a set up."

Pinanood ko ang mga clips na ilang beses ko nang nakita. I knew Faith has already seen it, the reason why she's angry, and I badly want to make up, but I think she needed time, I just hope it won't take too long.

Iniwan ko na si Max doon saka pumasok sa isang room para kumuha ng baril.  I chose the 9mm Pistol with a silencer. I don't need to bring too much since we have back ups. Bukod doon ay hindi rin ganoong matatalino ang mga tauhan ng mga Torres.

"Pupunta ka padin? Are you determined to ruin your name?" Max hissed, napailing siya sa akin.

"Faith is going there. Richela called her to ask help. Now, answer that question yourself," I said and left the place.

"Yeah, right. Your name doesn't really matter unless she's safe," Dinig kong pahabol niya pero hindi ko na pinansin.

I drove fast on the exact location where Richela is. Nakailang contact pa ako sa mga tauhan namin doon para tanungin kung nakita si Faith, pero hindi pa nila nakikita.

Maybe I missed my calculation. Mauuna akong dumating sa kanya.

I arrived at the area. Maraming tao doon at puro informal settlers bago pa makarating sa bodega kung nasaan ang iba pang tauhan ng mga Torres.

Based on the call, balak nilang cornerin si Richela doon. They are about to kidnap her and set it up like it was my idea all along, lalo pa't nasa amin na ang mga magulang niya.

I walked carefully until I reached the entrance of the warehouse. I immediately aimed to shoot the man guarding the entrance. I thought he was alone when another two came to shoot me. Doon na nagsimulang magkaroon ng ingay nang tamaan nila ang mga kala kalawang na drum na sinubukan kong taguan. I shoot the other man to dead, ang isa ay nakatakas at hindi ko nakita.
