Daniella:

We're on our way to Blake's house at malapit na kami when we heard gunshots, like tons of gunshots.

"Stop." Utos ko kay Jestony. "Jan, stop the car!" Napapreno ng malakas si Jestony at muntik na akong mauntog. But now's not the time to get mad at him. This is something serious.

Lahat ng sasakyan namin nakatigil sa isang kanto at lahat kami bumaba.

"It's coming from Blake's house." Mungkahi ni Scott.

This is bad. This is really bad.

Nilapitan ko si Cris at seryosong tinanong. "Cris, how sure are you na andon nga si Red?"

"I don't know. It was just a hunch." Sagot niya. "Wala na siyang kakilalang iba maliban sainyo at wala siyang pwedeng puntahan."

"Pwede naman siyang pumunta kina Kuya Realm."

"Nicolette has a point." I agreed with Nicz. "We're not entirely sure that Red might be in Blake's house. And hell we're not even sure what the hell is happening in there."

"At hindi tayo pwedeng sumugod doon. We're short on weapons." Jamie said and he's right, too.

Then someone's phone was ringing. It was Nicolette's phone. "Si Tita Sel." sambit niya at sinagot yung tawag. "Tita?" We were all anxious dahil alam naming tumatawag lang siya pag sobrang importante. "Okay po."

"Can everybody hear me?" Tanong ni Tita Sel mula sa phone ni Nicz.

"Yes po." I answered.

"Okay, good. So here's the situation. We received a distress alert from one of your member's tracker, but hearing as you're all okay, siguro may nakapindot lang sainyo accidentally. Can you check?"

"Wait, can you send us the location from the tracker?" Tanong ni Scott kay Tita Sel.

"Okay, I'll send it to you... There, it's already sent."

Chineck in Scott yung phone niya then his expression suddenly changed. Biglang nanlaki yung mata niya. "Scott, patingin." Inagaw ko yung phone ni Scott at tinignan yung sinend ni Tita Sel. This is the map of Blake's street.

"Tita, can you tell us the last three digits of the tracker ID?" Tanong rin naman ni Chasie habang may kinakalikot sa phone niya.

"Sure, it's 317."

After a few seconds, napatigil si Chasie sa pagkalikot sa phone niya and she looks shocked. "That's Red's tracker ID."

"What? Are you sure?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong ni Cristoff. Pinakita ni Chasie yung phone niya at andon yung listahan ng mga tracker IDs naming lahat. "Shit, shit. This is all my fault."

"Hey, calm down. We'll protect her, okay?" Pagpapakalma ni Amber kay Cris.

"Here, drink this." May inabot si Chandria sakaniyang maliit na vial na yellow liquid ang laman. Tumingin naman ng kaduda-duda si Cristoff kay Chan. "That will help you sober up and help you calm down. Now drink." Kinuha naman ni Cris yung vial at ininom ito.

"Is everything okay?" Tanong ni Tita Sel.

"Tita, Red might be in trouble right now but we need weapons." Jamie said. I can see panic in his eyes. All of us are in a state of panic dahil sa nalaman namin.
