“Wait, where are you taking us?” Gerald asked vigorously. Nobody answered. All of a sudden, he heard that familiar sob once again. Gerald listened carefully and as soon as he perceived her voice, he moved closer to her.“Hushhh” he commanded her to be quiet. With that, her sobs had slowly faded away as the vehicle continued running.
A moment later … “Tell me! What do you want from us?!” Sarah screamed.
“Tumahimik ka kung ayaw mong masaktan kayo nitong lalaking to!” a deep powerful voice from one of the men roared.
“Take me home, I wanna go home!” she continued screaming.
“Sarah! Keep quiet! Will you?!” Gerald ordered her.
“No! I wanna go home!” Sarah moved far away from Gerald.
“Where the hell are you going? Stay close to me”, he said, alarmed. Sarah didn’t listen to his command.
“Gusto ninyong umuwi?” Another voice asked. Sarah and Gerald nodded. “Puwes gawin ninyo ang ipagagawa namin. Deal?” the guy asked.
“Deal!” Gerald answered without hesitation. The car stopped. The men removed Sarah and Gerald’s blindfolds as well as the rope tied around their arms. They pushed the two to get off the vehicle. It was a black SUV.
“Hoy lalaki, nakikita mo yang 7-11 na yan?” Men in Black 1 (MIB 1) asked when Sarah, Gerald and the rest of his men were already outside. Gerald nodded. “Pumasok ka dyan, bumili ka ng yosi at alak. Take off your suit, masyado kang mabango. Isuot mo to”, he ordered as he handed Gerald a grey hoodie. Gerald followed. MIB 1 inserted the gun he was holding inside Gerald’s pocket.
“What the f@ct! What is this gun for?!” Gerald asked, in his nervous tone, jittered.
“Nothing, hayaan mo lang yan sa bulsa mo. I assure you, walang mangyayari”, the MIB 1 grinned.
Gerald looked at Sarah who was being held by MIB 2. “How about her?’
“Ikaw lang, maiiwan sya dito”
“Don’t you dare touch her neither do anything stupid to her” Gerald’s eyes turned into slit like those of sinister animals ready to attack their prey. He glanced back at Sarah then turned around and proceeded after she sent Gerald a reassuring look.
“You go tough guy!” MIB 3 cheered.
“Asshole” Gerald murmured as he continued walking inside the convenience store. He did what they had asked him to do in full speed like a bullet traveling to its target. When done, he went to the counter and pulled out his wallet from his pocket. The door of the convenience store opened. Two men in uniform came in and asked the cashier.
“Did you notice the owner of that black SUV parking across the street? It is a carnapped vehicle” one of the cops questioned.
The thin male cashier looked at Gerald with open mouth and pointed his index finger at him. Gerald’s eyes sized up as the cop’s partner twisted his arms behind his back and put the handcuffs around his wrist.
“Sir, hindi po ako! Sir! Please let me go! I’m the victim here.”, he pleaded while the cop was taking him outside the store. The businesses around the vicinity turned their lights off and closed their stores. Gerald and the cops stopped in front the SUV, the cop frisked Gerald’s body.
