NAVARRO SERIES 1:Caged By The Ruthless

CHAPTER 12

                       Socorro Ricks            
 
Coco gripped her two luggages both of her hands tightly. Adrenaline rush down her spine as she walks out to the airport, NAIA.

There was no conflict happened when she left in New York which she's grateful of. It should be cause she did everything to cover up her mission.

After their long walk Coco proceed to a salon as an idea popped to her mind. She realized that if she want to investigate without her family knowing it she'll need an alibi nor disguise but make over will do.

So she went into dying her hair to ash brown from her original black hair and shortened her hair reaching her shoulder blade.

Everytime she looks into mirror she was always amazed. Coco felt like it wasn't her who was in that thing, the reflection was unfamiliar. Coco can't even recognize the girl from the mirror.

It's exaggerated to think but that's what she felt.

This new version of her you can determine her real age just by looking in quick nor one look. Her real age which she hide for a long time to survive being independent..

Her type of clothing she even change those. Almost Coco's wardrobe now are for her age there's a touch of conservatism. Less daring, less sexy, less revealing but clothes that she still can slay.

Changing her clothing taste wouldn't sink to her mind if ever unfortunately after the accident she was traumatized. Coco is now scared wearing those. Telling herself she'd rather wear grandma clothes than being in danger.

Coco glance at her feminine Gucci signatured watch to look what time is it now. Gladly she converted the time on her watch to the Philippines time before the plane board.

4:39 pm.

Once she reached outside Coco met by the other tourist or maybe passengers. Yellow and white cabs fall in line into the left side of the road.

While she's in the plane she already planned her moves to make her stay short.

First, she need to get a place to stay. Condominium will do, the problem is she haven't yet found. So she'll find immediately. For her not to sleep in the bay walk.

Second, seek for a part time job. Again, Coco doesn't know where to find moreover would they want to hire her. Especially she doesn't look like a experienced worker or should I say she doesn't look a girl that needed a job for her living.

And Third, as much as possible she wishes that she and her Aunt Sabel wouldn't cross their path. That will be problem.

Coco let go her luggages for her to straighten her off shoulder sundress that reached above her knee and fished her aviators to protect her eyes from the sun as it's brightness will cause you to be blind.

Take note. It's kinda hot here and the noise coming from the vehicles isn't helping her to bare the changes she's experiencing. Yeah Coco love summers but the climate here in the Philippines is not what she expected.

Meanwhile a driver approached her with a sense of hospitality. Filipinos are indeed hospitable.

" Where to go Ma'am? ", Coco eyed the old man for a second. Sinking the man's question.

" Hmm.... can you recommend..... For a condominium and better yet.....send me there? ", She answered with a question not answering the man's question.

The man gestured like thinking. " For a girl like you Ma'am I think you'll want an exclusive............ Ahmm stay for good Ma'am or vacation only? "
