STALKER

Crushes, admiration are normal experiences but stalking and kidnapping are not normal.

Ruthie is being pursued stealthily.

A crush is a word used to portray the special feelings you have for another person, a classmate, or friend that you really like.

Like bodies grow as we get older, so do our emotions. They develop and mature as we become preteens, teenagers, and adults.

Noticing your first crush is an exciting period in life because you're starting to comprehend how it feels to like another person — a lot!

Sometimes, feelings for a crush can be confusing because they're new to you and you aren't certain how to act. You could have varied feelings. When you notice your crush, a part of you might feel uncomfortable and you might want to flee away and hide. Another part of you might visualize your crush noticing you and sharing similar feelings.

Crushes are a slight bit like the romantic love adults feel toward one another. And in a way, a crush can enable us to think about the type of person that we like to love when we grow up. They help us realize which qualities we notice and like in another person — and maybe a few that we don't like.

It means they have a sick sexual fantasy about you. In their eyes? You are his property, he owns you and looks at you as an object of his desire, it's the idea of you. He craves you all to himself in his mind the world he's living in only comprises of you and him, nobody else. He will do whatever it takes to accomplish what he wants with you.

He knows when Ruthie's home, when She's not, who visits her at school, what time they leave and he use to know when she was alone, he's been known to appear out of nowhere when she's at the supermarket the first time she thought to herself; 'how did he know I was at the convenience store at that particular time'? How? How did he know what time I would be there for him to appear? It's not like I told him. My guess was that he studied my routines of what time I left the condo, knew exactly what time I would be at the mall and what mall it was." Ruthie thinks. She knew then, this guy was stalking her. She knew whatever plan he had in mind wasn't good he's out to hurt her sexually, which means he's a predatory stalker his foremost goal is sexually attack her. The first time she noticed him watching her as she enters the condo she thought, "there's something not right with him'.

She talked to Juan about this. Juan put a GPS monitoring gadget on her and emergency panic button in her pen in case she needs help. She was also given a pepper spray that looks like a lipstick, A taser that looks like a flashlight.

" You need to learn some defensive martial arts," Juan said.

"I will teach Ruthie next week," Jacky said.

Juan studied all the CCTV footage and Juan had developed a program and a system to synchronize and attach to his system all CCTV that uses the internet. He had used all the gadgets and hardware he bought from Japan.

Then He hired Robert Del Fierro, the boyfriend of Rose Zabala, which has proven his integrity and loyalty as his IT staff to monitor sensitive objectives that he wants to be monitored. His mother, who has Alzheimer's are now being taken care of the Maketa foundation.

Juan, instead of jogging in the treadmill and work out in his personal little gym in the condo, enrolled in the mix martial arts.

Mixed martial arts (MMA), is a hybrid combat sport incorporating techniques from boxing, wrestling, judo, jujitsu, karate, Muay Thai (Thai boxing), and other disciplines.

He approached Kevin "The Silencer" Belingon to be his trainer. They met in Hill Station, Casa Vallejo, Upper Session Rd, Baguio, with Edward "Landslide" Folayang both were Champions. They arranged the schedule and the venue, in Elite Boxing and Muay Thai Gym, 5th Floor Planters Products Building 106 Esteban Esteban St, corner V.A. Rufino St, Makati. The schedule was once a week every Saturday afternoon from five to nine, Juan takes care of their hotel and P5,000 per week, a three months provisionary contract.

Juan who is five feet and ten inches tall, medium built were trained by the best fighters, transformed to develop the physical discipline in martial arts, He experienced sparring the best fighters and was considered a potential champion if he will join tournaments. "He was being courted and encouraged, but Juan just wants it for personal protection and physical fitness. His training was even confidential and never recorded in the gym. He just rented the gym for five thousand per month for sixteen hours with his own trainer and coach. First two months with Kevin and the last month with Edward.

Robert identified the stalker. He was a former student of De La Salle University, He is a member of a gang. He has many reported cases of sexual assault. He wants to grab Ruthie so many times but because of Juan's presence every time he fetches her going to school, and going home, he did not get an opportunity.

Juan wants to trap him so he will pay for his previous cases and prevent him from hurting Ruthie and others in the future. Juan coordinated with the police, the agency guards in the area. He trained the guards as force multipliers like in General Santos City to help prevent crimes.

Ruthie walked from the School Gate 2 North, along Taft Avenue, then turned right to A. Estrada Street there is a man tailing her, walking fast. Ruthie is being instructed through a Bluetooth earphone, then the man tried to overtake her. But Ruthie is fast and he realizes that he was compromised made a sign to the car parked facing Ruthie. Two cars moved, one is a van, and they stopped in her side to grab her, Ruthie ran as fast as she could, the plainclothes police tried to stop the pursuing three men to grab Ruthie. The remaining men in the van open fire with a shotgun, one of the police was hit, Ruthie crawled. Three police cars appeared to stop the van and the other car, gunfight sounded.

One of the men grabbed Ruthie as a hostage everybody was frozen. Then the police cars moved away. They got Ruthie.

Elado Tabon, was identified by the police as the leader of the Bahala na Gang branch in the area.

Juan rides his big bike, he chases the escaping car and deployed one armored car with four police snipers and six SAF(Special Action Force) provided by headquarters through radio.

" Eagle1, the object is traversing Roxas Boulevard going to Kawit, Cavite," Robert said on the radio.

Juan thought it would be a simple arrest but it became complicated.

The enemy used all its resources to get Ruthie. This is now not simple stalking, but a kidnap for ransom situation. The police used one helicopter and a stopping force.

Juan does not want to risk Ruthie. He was now near the suspect's cars. He did not move so close to being identified but he guided the helicopter, and the stopping force to stop them before they reach Kawit, Cavite. The cars were stopped at the Kawit interchange. Four police cars surprised them blocking the road instantly. Then the armored car with snipers positioned the SAF maneuvered. Juan from the bike approached them to swap with Ruthie, he takes his pistol and throws it and his knife he throws also slowly going near them and he saw, Ruthie, taped mouth and hands. The police tried to stop Juan, but he did not listen. He said to the kidnappers, "Release the girl and take me instead"

"Don't move closer!" Elado said.

"I'm unarmed, I will just check if the hostage is Ok," Juan said.

Elado grabs Ruthie outside the van and points a gun in her head. Then he shouted to the police, don't come closer! He told one of the men to approach Juan and add him as a hostage, the man went closer to Juan with his uzi. Juan whispered to Ruthie on the radio that she could listen in her Bluetooth earphone that she will drop as dead to her right. Juan shout the sign "Please!"

Ruthie as if she fainted being pointed with a gun, drop to her right, Juan then punch the man and grab the uzi and shoot Elado and use his newly acquired skill in mix martial arts to grapple the man near him by locking his hands at his back and use his body as a shield as bullets were fired to him. Juan fired back and the snipers fired and Juan dropped to cover Ruthie. Juan then gets his smoke grenade and throw it that smoke covered them as he carries Ruthie out of danger. One of the cars moved to escape but the blocking force rain them with fire and they stopped dead.

Juan takes the tape out of Ruthie's mount and hands, embrace her and said "Sorry, you had been in harm's way", Ruthie just nod and ride in his big bike and they get out as fast as he could from the danger zone to a nearby clinic for their small wounds and bruises. Tony and Martha arrived and embraced them both. Alex also arrived. They went home afterward.

"There was a hostage drama that occurred at Roxas Boulevard going to Cavite, at Kawit interchange..." TV news as Juan is resting in the balcony thinking, He never expected that it will end that way.
