｡˚⛓˚｡⋆. NARRATION

"Ang tagal."

Reklamo ni Ares as he waited for the faculty members to leave the room. Ngayon ang plano niya na nakawin ang funds ng university to help Achilles and Yves for their needs. Just what in the world were the university staffs doing? Having a meeting at 1 am?

Mahigit dalawang oras nang naghihintay si Ares because he had to make sure na walang sagabal at walang butas sa plano niya. The first thing he did was to take care of the CCTV cameras. If he were to do anything illegal, he should do it properly. Bawal may mapahamak dahil sa kanya.

Kaya nga he made sure that Dior got home safely.

Lumiwanag ang mukha niya nang makitang nagsisimula nang umalis sa office ang mga staff. He also stole the duplicate key from the storage room so it would give him lesser things to think of. Bilang din ang oras niya... the guards would do their rounds after 15 minutes.

When the coast was clear, dahan-dahang dumiretso si Ares sa office at saka binuksan ang naka-lock na pinto gamit ang susi. Nilibot niya muna ang tingin niya sa kwarto para masiguro na hindi siya mahuhuli. It was better to be sure.

He quickly yet calmly opened the cabinet containing the university funds, trying hard not to cause a noise. Siya nalang ang natitira sa building, other than the guards. Huminga siya nang malalim as he carefully placed the money in the bag. 100k lang naman... not all.

Ganoon ka-kampante si Ares sa ginagawa niya.

"Fuck." Nakakaramdam na ng panic si Ares nang mapagtantong hindi kasya lahat ng pera sa bag na dala niya. Umaapaw ito... and hindi siya dapat maka-iwan ng trace.

Nataranta siya when he checked the time. Five minutes na ang nakalipas. His plan was very time-restricted... late na siya ng two minutes. He tried to regain his composure as he sealed the bag. Dahan-dahan siyang lumabas ng opisina and looked around, making sure na walang tao sa area.

He was too focused on getting out safely kaya hindi na niya namalayan ang isang money bill na lumabas sa kanyang bag.

His next move was to get to the rooftop dahil may hagdan doon pababa ng school. That was also one of the few places na pinapatay ang CCTV camera tuwing ganitong oras. His plan was quick but precise.

However, this time, mas kailangan na niyang bilisan ang paggalaw niya dahil overtime na siya. Any moment now, mahuhuli na siya ng guard. He removed his shoes in order to not make any noise as he ran to the rooftop.
