"Cess!"
Tawag ni Sebastian sa kanya. He called her "Cess" short for princess instead of calling her with formality "Sis!"
"Cess. ? is that how you supposed to call your big sister?"
She hissed.
"Geez. .you were just one year older than me! We should just drop the formality."
Anito.
"Fine call me Sophia if you dare!"
She stared at him imperiously.
"You and your brain!" aniya rito. "Stop arguing with me, Seb—!"
She paused ng maalala kung gaano niya ka hate ang pangalan nito.
"I really hate your name!"
she said sourly.
"You always remind me of my grandfather, from now on we will be calling you RAIN!"
Napabulanghit ng tawa ang binata.
"The one who give me that name is mother Thess, unfortunately wala na sya!"
Anitong may lungkot.
"Nga pala!"
anito na biglang may naalala.
"I think Glaiza is kind of weird!"
"Papanong weird?"
curious na tanong ni Sophia.
"I think she has some lose nuts, up in her head?"
anito na tila ginugunita sa isip ang mga nangyari.
"How did you know Sophia?"
Anito pagkakita na pagkakita sa kanya.
First of all hindi naman sila sabay na dumating, how did she know na magkakilala sila ni Sophia?
Bigla nalang itong nagising sa realidad ng kanyang binatukan.
"Mas baliw kapa roon!" aniya rito. "Tara na, mag trabaho na tayo!"
He dismissed that weird feelings, if Sophia trust her then walang rason para hindi niya ito pagkatiwalaan.
Now, they were all standing in front of Bureau of police investigation building pagkatapos silang ibaba ng school bus na maghahatid sa kanila sa lugar kung saan gaganapin ang community service.
"Come'on let's get started!"
Sigaw sa kanila ng Community teacher nila ng araw na iyon.
Wala namang nagawa ang lahat ng mga studyante naroroon, kanya-kanya na silang bitbit ng walis at sako.
"Come here!"
bulong ni Sophia kay Rain.
"What is it?"
"You see that building in front of us?"
Anya na ininguso ang ang Bureau of police investigation building.
"Yeah!"
Ani Rain na nakakunot noo habang pinagmamasdan ito.
"Were going to raid it, tonight!"
"Are you crazy—"
Anitong napalakas ang boses dahil sa pagkabigla. Nagsitinginan naman sa kanila ang iba pang mga studyante mabuti nalang at agad na natakpan ni Sophia ang bibig ng lalaki.
"Gusto mo nabang mamatay?"
She hissed sabay batok rito.
"Tonight we will see kung gaano ka kagaling in front of the computer, don't worry all you have to do is sit in the van and watch my every move!"
"You mean, you're going to do it yourself?"
Sophia nodded.
"No way. .That's too dangerous!"
Anitong di makapaniwala sa kanyang sinabi.
"Oh—you're showing your brotherly love, to me now?"
She teased him.
"Brotherly love my foot!"
Anitong isinukbit sa kanyang ulo ang dala-dalang sako sabay takbo.
"Yaaaa. !"
malakas nyang bulyaw rito while struggling to get rid of that thing.
"You're dead pag nahuli kita!"
"You guys are crazy!"
Di mapigilang tawa ni Glaiza habang tinutulungan syang maalis ang sako sa kanyang katawan.
It was break time ng makita nya si Rain, bigla nalang nya piningot ang tainga nito bago pa ito makatakbo.
"Explain what you did?"
Anya habang hinihila ang lalaki.
"It hurts. .it hurts!"
Reklamo nito, napatingin tingin pa muna ito sa paligid bago nag salita.
"Let me go first!"
he pleaded, binitawan naman ng dalaga ang lalaki.
"Geez. !"
anitong hinaplos haplos ang nasaktang tainga.
"I saw here coming!"
anito na ininguso si Glaiza.
"I don't know why but I don't like her!"
"Why?"
anya habang pinagmamasdan ang kaklase.
"I just don't like her, saka were talking something great aren't we?"
sarkastiko nitong sabi.
"What if marinig nya tayo? Something like that is supposed to be confidential!"
Natawa bigla ang dalaga.
"That's why I'm telling you here, so I could test your loyalty!"
Sophia give him a thumbs up and wink before leaving him stunned.
"That. .that!"
Anyang napasuntok sa hangin, ilang beses na ba syang naisahan nito?
Na papa "oo" sya ni Sophia without his knowledge.
"Am I become stupid?"
It was 2 am in the morning ng naka stand by na sa di kalayuan ng Bureau of police ang mini van kung saan lulan sina Rain, Sophia, Claire at Mike.
"Ilang uras pa ba yan?"
Inip na inip na tanong ni Sophia kay Rain habang busy naman ang binatilyo sa kakapindot sa keyboard.
"Sandali lang, inaalized pa ng system ang signal!"
anito na titig na titig parin sa screen. There are multiple screen na naka display sa naturang mini van, it served as a monitor.
"I'm using a deep web to hacked their software once the system will start to generate—"
"Hurry up!"
Sophia hissed. It's already closed to 3 am and they have to finished it before 4 in the morning.
"I Got it!"
excited nitong bulalas bago pinindot ang "ENTER" button ng keyboard. Atomatikong naka display sa lahat ng monitor ang buong sulok ng Bureau.
"You have 30 minutes to finished, 3:45 to 4 am magsisimula na sila ng morning drill, kapag di kapa nakalabas with that period of time,I'll set the fire alarm, to give you enough time!"
"Copy!"
Sophia and Mike inserted the wireless micro airbuds in their ears and wireless microphone in their mouth.
"Mike you will be standby for plan B!"
Ani Rain na tila ba nag uutos sa subordinates nito.
"Copy!"
The two of them set out, while Claire is with Rain in front of the monitor. The two of them saw Sophia climb up in the side of the building.
"Everything is clear, once you reach in the 17th floor, one window is open. You should stop in there, I'll cover you first!"
"Copy!"
Ani Sophia, She followed Rain instruction when she reach in the 17th floor.
"Now stand in front of the camera!"
Utos nito sa kanya.
"What are you crazy?" she hissed.
Rain is erasing her image in the building's system kaya kahit maglakad pa sya in front of the CCTV walang makikitang tao sa monitor ng naturang building but they still have to avoid human eyes, ofcourse!
"Just do it!"
sigaw ni Rain sa kanya muntik ng matuliglig ang kanyang taynga sa lakas ng sigaw nito. She had no choice but to follow.
"1. .2. .3 now move!"
utos nito sa kanya.
"Now walk in the lobby, turn left near the stairs, we have one guest in there!"
"Copy that!"
Sinipat ni Sophia ang kanyang relo, 10minutes was already pass, She had to double time.
"I'm going to use the lift—"
"Use the stairs, silly!"
sigaw ni Rain kay Sophia.
"You're giving me a heart attack, paano pag isa sa kanila makakita sayo pag labas—Shit!"
Anito ng may makita sa monitor.
"What?"
"Someone is coming!"
"Damn you, Rain!"
Napamura ng wala sa uras si Sophia.
"If I could get out in here alive, humanda ka talaga sa akin!"
She hissed.
Nagkatinginan naman sina Claire and Rain they were both struck in horror.
