"So? I'll go na with your kotse kase nga malayo? Like that ba?"
I am nagtatanong kasi kina JB because we will punta na dun sa detective na oldie.

We're here na sa parking lot ng Hilton Resort with my bag full of foods kasi they said na baka gabihin pa kami maka-get there. I also have toiletries and damit para makasigurado na din
if ever, you alam na.

"Well, yap, go inside, dun ka sa backseat." Si Mikko while inaayos yung fuel tank kasi it's paubos na daw.  We need a lot pa naman for our trip.

"Okay, just sabi it to me if you need help. I'm willing naman." I sagot na.

I go sa loob na while I'm nanonood of what they are doing outside. Si Mikko, fixing the tank while JB, inaayos nya naman yung tires.

Well, they're wearing normal lang pero nag-uumapaw yung charm nila that's why some tao are napapatingin sa gawi namin. Either they will be natutulala or they will mangingisay, or something like mag-jump sila tsaka titili.

And I was like? Ang harot lang.

So, to ease my boredom, ni-get ko na lang yung phone ko and text something to my co-agent.

To: Agent Pretty

I'm going to take care of the codes na ni-give mo sakin, I'm going somewhere so don't abala me na.

I send na it and I receive a reply na nag-say na okay daw because she will gawa something naman.

I put my phone na sa bag ko na saktong pagpasok nina JB.

"Okay," Nilingon ako ni Mikko na nasa driver seat. "Are you sure with this? Pwede ka pang mag-back out."  Sabi na nila akong tiningnan.

"Oh, please." I sabi with nakataas ang isang eyebrow, " I'm here na nga oh!" I spread my arms wide pa. "Wala ng mag-baback out alright? And just for you to alam, I can handle myself na okay? So mag-drive na lang you, Mikko and look at the front din JB. hmp."

They heaved a sigh but nagdrive pa rin.

After a minuto, nag-talk ako.

"So, why are you like na-scared magpunta there?"

"Ano kasi yun Gaile, nasa gitna ng kagubatan yung bahay nya." answer ni JB.

Napatango-tango ako, I tingin sa window and get a chip and kain it.

"Saang forest ba it?" I asked pa rin.

"Wild forest." Sabay nilang sabi.

"Ahh, sa Wild Forest? I'm looking forward na-" Nabuga ko yung chips, "What? Wild freaking forest? Why is he there ba? like omg! He knows ba na dangerous there?" I snapped.

Oh my God kasi! Wild forest is a dangerous place! There so many wild animals there kaya it's off-limits for hikers and campers.
And now they are telling me that it is our Destination? Nagpapatawa ba them? I can't believe this! Oh my god!

"That's why pinapapili ka pa namin." Si Mikko. "Alam mo naman na misteryoso at mapanganib yun diba? Lalo na pag gabi. So ano?" dagdag nya.

Oh my God! My God! This is not nangyayari Kasi! it's alas tres pa naman ng hapon! And they sabi na nine hours yung papunta there!

"Aaargh! But I kailangan talaga eh! I'll take the risk na!" I sabi that while pinupunasan yung face ko tsaka binabasura yung na-fall at nabugang chips.

"Alright. Let's continue."

*******************************

Nine pm kami dumating sa bukana nung forest. Malaki ang Wild forest kung kaya't the authorities consider this as one of those dangerous places in the country. Marami na ring pumunta dito pero they died. Either they are eaten, or lost, or slipped on a cliff.
