I let out a sigh at saka inialabas ang tablet na hawak ko then I monitored the CCTV's around the area.

"By the way, kamusta na si Jack?" Ken asked at napahinto naman ako dahil sa tanong niya.

"The last time we spoke was at my friend's wedding." Sagot ko naman.

"Really? So, nagka-ayos na kayo?"

"Yup, okay na kami pero hindi na kami masyadong nagkaka-usap this past few weeks since busy ako sa mission na ito."

"I heard that he already left your HQ." He said.

"Yes, but it doesn't mean that he is not under my watch." I answered at saka tinignan ang CCTV sa bahay kung saan kasalukuyang nanunuluyan si Jack. My forehead furrowed when I noticed that the lights are off. "Speaking of...mukhang wala siya sa bahay niya." I said and tracked his GPS

I felt that Ken leaned to me and looked at the tablet that I hold. "That's cool." He commented.

"But I'm much cooler." I said and he scoffed because of that.

"You wish." He answers.

A dot appeared on my screen meaning that I already tracked Jack's location. My eyes widened nang ma-realized na nasa isang pamilyar na lugar siya.

I tapped my earpiece. "Gemma, we have...I mean...Jaypee has a problem." I said nang ma-realize na misyon na ni Jaypee ang protektahan si Jack.

"What? What is it?" She asked from the other side of the line.

"Jack is also in that museum." I said.

"Should I go to the museum?" Jaypee asked.

"Let us wait for the van. I'm sure parating na rin iyon." Gemma suggested. "Harley, keep an eye on him." She commanded.

"Aye." I answered as I started to enter the museum's security wall.

"Harley, can you please be honest to me?" Ken said.

"What's up?" I asked in confusion.

"May feelings ka ba para kay Jack?" He asked.

And again, I stopped tapping from my screen because of that question.

"W-what kind of question is that?" Tanong ko naman pabalik sa kanya.

"A question of a curious person." Ken answered. "Because you're being sus." He added.

"Sus? Are we playing Among Us?" Natatawang tanong ko at saka ipinagpatuloy ang pag-tap sa screen ng tablet.

"You're evading the question." He said.

"Ken, I don't have time for a relationship okay."

"I asked for feelings not a relationship."

"I invoke the fifth."

"This is not a criminal case!" Inis na turan ni Ken and that made me chuckle. "You're so hard to talk to." He said.

"You two, focus. Jaypee spotted the van, be ready." Gemma said through the earpiece.

And at the same time, nakapasok na ako sa security wall ng museum na pupuntahan namin. I immediately scanned the CCTV cameras until I find Jack on the footage.

Nakahinga naman ako ng maluwag nang makitang safe ito. This man can really give me a heart attack anytime.

"Van is almost there." Gemma updated.
