Nagsa-sunbathing si Alex – C. Nakasuot sya ng pulang two-piece swimwear na bagong bili pa niya. Nakita sya n Nick. Kinausap siya nito.

"Hello there."

"Hi." sabi pa ni Alex-C.

"By the way, my name is Nick. I am one of the manager of this resort. If there is anything else you need, you can call one of my staffs. They are very accomodating and friendly." sabi naman ni Nick.

"That's nice of you, Nick... By the way, it seems you are too busy last night. There is someone who interrupted our conversation. What is that about? Is it about this resort?" wika pa nga ni Alex-C na nagkukunwaring nakikiusyoso.

"Nope. It is just my boss called me. It is part of my duty. By the way, it seems you are all alone. Are you kinda a loner?" taka naman ni Nick.

"Nope. I have my friends with me..."

At yung dalawang agents na kasama ni Alex-C ay dumating at binati si Emily. Nagpangap din silang mayaman na turista galing Los Angeles.

"Emily, my darling, you didn't tell us you met a new guy here."

"Would you like to introduce him to us, Emily?"

Napangiti lang si Emily, "Oh, his name is Nick. One of the managers of this resort."

Lumapit ang agent na nagpapangap na bakla, "Oh, hi. My name is Carlitos and that girl is Brenda. We are business partners."

"We are here for vacation. And you know, Emily is preparing for her next project design. We want to take some inspiration from your town's folks. " sabi ng isang Agent na pinangalanan na Brenda.

"Oh, that's fabulous! What a wonderful idea!" dagdag pa ni Alex-C.

Samantala, sa hindi nila alam na habang sila ay nagtatawanan at naguusap, meron nagmamasid sa kanila. Ang tauhan ni Zamora. Pinababantayan kasi kay Zamora ang mga kinikilos ni Nick. At kung sino yung babaeng bagong kinahuhumalingan niya.

At nung gabing yon, nakatangap ng masamang balita si Zamora. Hindi natuloy ang shipment nila dahil ni-raid na sila ng mga pulis. At si Adolfo, ang pinagkakatiwalaan ni Zamora ay namatay sa engkwentro.

Naghinala na si Zamora kung bakit nalaman ng mga pulis ang tungkol sa shipment nila.

Kinabukasan, pinuntahan ni Zamora si Nick. Dala ang isang tabloid na may masamang balita. Pinakita nya ang headline ng balita sa kanya. Nabigla si Nick.

"Patay na yung business partner ni Gaspar? Paano nangyari ito?"

"Kung ako sa iyo, pagigihan mo ang trabaho mo? Kundi susunod yang Emily Nickerson na yan sa tatay nya. Kung talagang mahal mo talaga sya, umiwas ka sa gulo. Lubayan mo si Emily Nickerson. Mainit na dugo ni Gaspar sa grupo natin." paliwanag ni Zamora.
