"Can I come?"


I sigh at the sight of Raelle sitting across me at the living room of their house. "You can't."


"But I wanted to." She pouted.


"Because?"


She look away from me and sighed as well. "Gusto ko lang."


Sinara ko ang folder na kanina ko pa binabasa at tiningnan siya. "We're not playing games here, idiot. Do your own work."


Pareho kaming napalingon sa pinto nang bumukas 'yon at pumasok si Xena. She go straight to the kitchen and went upstairs as if were not here. Well, I don't really care.


"Mukhang wala siya sa mood." Of course, Raelle has to comment. Napapansin yata nito lahat.


I am so used to doing my work at night but it's different now. 4 AM palang ng umaga ay nasa entrance na kami ng bagong Dungeon. It feels a little uncomfortable because someone might see us. Although, I don't see any soldiers, the fact that the place is quiet and peaceful is bothersome.


"First time, bitch?" Xena stood in front of me like she owned the place.


She's oozing in confidence so early in the morning that's making me irritated. I haven't had coffee yet so I'm a bit irrational. Parang mananapak ako any time.


"I got sources so there's nothing to worry about."


She got in first and I followed her quietly. Good thing I'm wearing a mask. I can't imagine how it smells inside. I saw cuffs, whips, and other torture equipments hanged on the wall. Marumi ang sahig at puro itim ang kulay. Buti nalang maliwanag na sa labas, pumapasok iyon sa maliit na rectangular window sa taas kaya kahit papaano ay nakikita namin kung saan dapat dumaan.


I asked Drishti earlier if we should disguise or not. I don't mind if we caused trouble but as I said...I haven't had coffee yet. I want some energy.


Tanga kasi 'yong si Raelle, binulabog ako at sapilitang pinagbihis. Akala ko kasi gabi namin gagawin. She even apologize that she forgot that she freaking forgot to tell me!


I'm gonna make her pay.


Pareho kaming tumigil sa paglalakad nang makakita kami ng bulto ng tao na nasa corner. My brows arched when I find it familiar.


Is it...


"I opened it already." Sejin said.


"Great." Xena replied and glance at Keller and Kai who's unconsciously lying on the ground. "I can't carry them both."


Kumunot na naman ang noo ko. Hindi ba niya ako nakikita rito?
