"Michelle?" Joseph whispered with his crackling voice. Michelle smiled. With tears falling down from her eyes, she nodded and held Joseph's face.

"Ako nga Joseph, ako nga." Joseph can't believed. He thought the woman he loved was gone. He thought that Michelle's dead. But now, in front of him, there's Michelle, standing and happily crying.

After it, slowly and surely they went inside. With the help and guide of Michelle, Joseph managed to enter the old cabin. Nong nakapasok sila, sobrang dilim. Walang siyang nakikita kundi ang dilim na bumabalot sa paligid.

Pagkatapos non, isinira ni Michelle ang pintuan kaya napabaling si Joseph sa likod. Hindi na niya nakikita si Michelle. Pero ilang sandali, bumuhay ang liwanag. Pagkabuhay nito, he saw Michelle again. But when he turned around, he sees someone that made him froze out.

"Fluke?" Joseph uttered after he saw his pure genius classmate who gone missing for 3 months. Naka-upo si Fluke habang may kunting ngiti ang ibinibigay nito kay Joseph. Fluke has many wounds from his face and all around his body. It was like pumping from deep pain.

Ilang sandali, mula sa isang maliit na kwarto, lumabas ang dalawang tao na hindi niya kilala pero namumukhaan niya. The both of them wore some black eyed pad that looks like a pirate.

"Joseph?" sabay nitong bigkas pagkakita nila sa lalaking matagal na nilang hinahangaan. Magkambal ang dalawa at may ngiti itong bitbit habang papunta kay Joseph.

"Ikaw ba talaga yan? Anong nangyari sa iyo?" wika nong isa na naka-sout ng itim na shirt.

"Kinidnap ka din ba?" tanong naman nong isa na naka-sout ng pulang shirt.

"Ano ang ginawa nila sa iyo?"

"Paano ka nakaligtas?"

"Brex and Drex, hinay-hinay lang sa mga tanong," suway ni Michelle sa kanilang dalawa kaya sabay napakamot ang magkambal.

"Brex and Drex? Kayo yong parating naghahatid sa akin ng tubig at snacks tuwing nagpapractice ako diba?" duro ni Joseph sa kanilang dalawa at tumango-tango naman ang mga ito.

"Idol ka kasi namin," said Drex with his charming smile.

"Oo, tama si Drex. Idol na idol ka namin pagdating sa basketball," sambit naman ni Brex.

Joseph smiled. But suddenly, his face grimaced from pain and without any force left, he surrendered himself from Michelle.

"Buhatin niyo papunta sa kwarto, bilis!" utos ni Michelle sa magkambal at sumunod naman ang dalawa. Pagkarating nila sa kwarto, inihiga nila si Joseph. There, Joseph is conscious but moaning from deep pain, covering something near from his stomach with his hands. After it, Fluke entered the room with his hands wrapped around the alcohol.

"May tama siya," sabi ni Fluke.

"Anong gagawin natin?" Michelle asked. "Kunin niyo ang bala sa loob!" Joseph exclaimed.

"Ano? Hindi pwede!" sagot ni Michelle. 

"Just do it! Kunin niyo sa loob!" Hinang-hina na si Joseph. His face is starting to like a cadaverous. With sweats running down from his neck, he's gulping very hard.

"Hindi ko kaya," sabi ni Michelle.

"JUST DO IT MICHELLE!" From that yelled, Michelle slowly unbuttoned his polo. There, his masculine body showed up, sweating all around. His chest is in up and down motion. But near from his stomach is where the bullet shot located, gushing out some bloods.

Tumabi si Fluke sa kanya at lumunok ng malalim. "I have a idea. Pagkatapos mong makuha ang bala, I'll pour some alcohol and wrap it with a cloth." Michelle nodded and after the last gulp, she entered her two fingers inside making Joseph even grimaced from pain

Joseph screamed, "Fuuuuuck!". Ilang segundo, Michelle's eyes widen, pulling back her fingers, and showed the bullet she got. More blood gushed out from the inside. "I got it!" she said.

After it, it's Fluke's action. He poured the alcohol at it, making Joseph screamed even more. Michelle's tears falling down, sobbing from Joseph suffering from pain. Seconds after, Fluke wrapped it with a clean cloth, tight it very carefully. When Fluke is finished, Michelle hugged Joseph, whispering some words that made him calm and closed his eyes. Many minutes later, he then falls asleep so the four them walked out from the room. 

"Ano na ang gagawin natin?" tanong ni Drex pagkatapos nilang makarating sa sala. They all looked to Michelle. She's like a statue, emotionless and struck from deep unknown. Suddenly, she uttered.

"The things we don't do," she said seriously and slowly looked at them. "We need to get our revenge."
