The Culprit (UNDER REVISION)

Case 067: Deal With The President 👮

                                      "Deal"

ALEJANDRO
Matapos ang matagumpay na operasyon at nakatanggap sila ng liham sa Capitol White Palace. Nais ng pangulo na parangalan sila sa kanilang nagawa.

Isa sa pinakamalaking problema na kinakaharap ng bansa, ang child exploitation, ang sunod-sunod na kidnappings na nalutas nila kaya gayon na lamang galak ng pangulo.

They found out that the head of the syndicate was a chinese national named Franklyn Lim. They rub and kill people. They smuggle drugs and guns. They kidnap women and sell in the market. Good thing they caught the criminal before it gets worst. Balita sa Pilipinas ang naging tagumpay nila kaya naman gusto silang anyayahan ng presidente at bigyang parangal.

Nawala na rin ang mga kuro-kuro, ukol sa pagkawala ng mga bata. Naging panatag ang mga tao. Now every parents will able to sleep at night without worrying for their children's safety.

Ang mga bata naman na nasagip at sumailalim sa counseling. Kasama na ang apo ng senador. Wala namang nasaktan ng physical sa mga ito bukod sa trauma na naranasan ng mga ito.

"Inspector sikat ba sikat ka na oh!" Ivan blabbering around while holding newspaper. Pinagmamalaki nito na na-diyaryo ang nakaraan nilang operasyon. "We also received invitation from the president of the Philippines Inspector...excited na ako! Ano kayang susuotin ko mamaya?"

He don't want an acknowledgment. He always do his works not expecting anything in return. What he hates most, is to be the center of attention. He just contented to know that he save and help people, sapat na sa kanya 'yon. Hindi niya kailangan ng kahit anong papuri o parangal.

He doesn't want to go with his team, but after considering things he thought he have to come with his team.

He just give Ivan a blank look and sigh in the process.

"Hindi ka na masaya Inspector?"

"What do you expect Ivan? Magtatalon sa tuwa si Inspector?" pambabara ng kadarating lang na si Kath kay Ivan.

"Am I talking to you?" sagot ni Ivan.

And the two back to pestering each other. Napailing na lang s'ya at binalik ang atensyon sa ginagawa.

ALEXIS
Holding a newspaper, Alexis smiled. Hindi pa rin siya makapaniwala sa mga nangyayari. Balita sa buong Pilipinas ang pagsagip nila sa bata mula sa isang grupo ng mga sindikato. Even the president wants to meet them. She also received an invitation from the palace. Akala niya ang police team lang ang imbitado kaya nagulat siya nang makatanggap ng imbitasyon.

The president wants acknowledge the good work they did. But Chief Asaytuno refused to have a grand celebration but the president insisted so, they settled to have a close door dinner, para lang sa kanila.

"Uy Alexis sikat ka na ah!" Trinity barged into her office. She just gave her a sweet smile bago ibinalik ang tingin sa hawak na dyaryo.

Honestly she feel nervous in the idea that she will going to meet the president, but on the contrary, happiness also filled her senses. Pangarap niyang makatapak sa palasyo ng Capitol, isa na rin marahil 'yon sa dahilan.

"Mag pa parlor ka mag-kulot ka, you have to look presentable. Hindi basta-bastang tao 'yong ka-dinner mo president 'yon."

She also wants to look presentable pero ayaw rin naman niyang nagpaka-OA. Meron naman siyang maayos na damit kahit paano. Magpapaayos na lang siya kay Ena. Tama na siguro iyon, she don't need to wear a shinning shimmering splendid gown for pete's sake.

"Sige, I have to go."

"Mag-beauty rest ka!"

Nagpaalam siya kay Master George na uuwi ng maaga. Kailangan niyang maghanda para mamaya.
