"Excuse me? Do you know someone named Verra Terras?" Tanong sakin ng Isang lalaki at kita ko sa likod niya ang mga ibang kasama niya. Isa-isa ko silang tinignan at ramdam ko ang mga enerhiya nila at ramdam ko na mabuti ang pakay nila pwera na lamang sa isa nilang kasama. 

Kita mo nga naman .. umuwi na ang isang ahas pauwi sa gubat 

"Anong kailangan niyo sa kanya?" Tanong ko doon sa naghanap habang naka-pokerface parin ako 

"Look just tell us if you know her or not. Stop wasting our time." Maarteng sabi ng hipon. 

Bilib ako sa kanya ahh... akalain mo yun, nakakapaglakad ang hipon sa lupa. Napangisi ako sa naisip

"Look, I'm not talking to you. So, shut the fuck up shrimp" pokerface kong sabi sa kanya
 
"Who are you calling a shrimp?! Do you even know me?!" Namumulang sigaw niya sakin

"And do I look like I care?" Walang gana kong sabi. 

"Why you ?!!---" at susugod na sana pero kita ko ang gulat sa kanya ng makita niya ako sa harap niya at binulungan ko siya.

"I can kill you without anyone knowing I did it. " 

"Look miss, we're just looking for her" mahinahong sabi ng lalaki sa likod

"WHAT DO YOU NEED FROM ME? sagot agad. Ayoko ng pabagal-bagal. 30 seconds to explain. NOW."
