"I WANT YOU to stay here, 'My." Wika ni Troy when we arrived at Travis' place. I was shocked to see Yvette here but cleared my mind since it's none of my business. Pagkakuha namin ng impormasyon patungkol sa nangyaring abduction ay agad kaming umalis ni Troy. I thought pupunta kami sa kung saan kinidnap ang mga magulang ko pero 'di ko inaasahan na dito niya ako dinala.

"Mommy!!!" sigaw ni Gabgab nang magbukas ang isang kwarto ni Travis. Umiiyak itong lumapit sa 'kin at mabilis ko naman itong binuhat para aluin.

"Si Travis, Troy. Make sure he's rational about this please." Rinig kong wika ni Yvette kay Troy habang kita sa mukha ng dalaga ang pag-aalala.

"I will just stay here with Serena and Gabgab. Travis' fortress is safer than any place." Anang ni Troy bago ako nito nilapitan. He kissed the kid's forehead first tapos ako. "I'll be right back. Kailangan kong back-up-an ang kapatid mo. He's raging like a bull."

Hindi na ako tumutol pa kahit na gustong gusto kong sumama. I just can't dahil ayaw ko rin namang iwanan si Gabgab.

Nang makaalis si Troy ay agad kong pinatulog muna si Gabgab bago kami tuluyang nag-usap ni Yvette. She's ravaging her tablet while talking to someone. Nakita niya ako at sumenyas na ang kausap niya ay si Maria.

"Speaker," I simply said then Yvette put the call on speakers.

"What happened?" agad kong tanong kay Maria.

"They are actually going to the mall dahil I traced a SMS convo of your father and Helena na magkita nalang dito para maipasyal si Gabriel. However, tinambangan sila bago pa man makarating sa parking." Maria initially reported. "Good thing, Yvette was just nearby."

Napatingin ako kay Yvette, "That's how I got Gabgab. Pinatakas ng parents' mo ang bata and I took the chance to take away the kid. I was planning on pursuing them but I can't leave the kid alone. I'm sorry."

My fist clenched, "You only saved the kid, no need to apologize."

"Sa'n sila dinala?" sunod kong tanong kay Maria.

"I was tracking your father's phone but the signal went missing somewhere outside the town," Maria replied and it only means a dead end.

Napasinghap ako sa galit. It was my parents they abducted. I don't know what happened pero hindi ko sila palalagpasin sa ginawa nila.

"Any signs or clue kung sino ang may pakana nito?" tanong ko sa kanila, especially kay Yvette.

"Your father has a lot of enemies, to begin with, Serena."

"Then, narrow it down!" hindi ko napigilang bumulanghit. Shit, I slipped a bit. I should have stayed focus than ever. Walang maidudulot ang galit ko sa pag-iisip kung nasaan sila. I sighed deeply, trying to calm.

"Sorry," I apologized and Yvette just nodded. "Where's my brother now?"

"Tangina!" nagulat kami ni Yvette sa pagmura ni Maria. "Your brother is smart; he deactivated all the means to trace him! Alam niya marahil kung saan dinala ang magulang mo!"

"He must have realized that you'll do something to interfere," Yvette commented, and knowing my brother... he will do that.

Napahawak nalang ako sa ulo ko dahil sa stress. Hindi mawala sa dibdib ko ang pangamba para sa mga magulang ko pero mas nag-aalala ako kay Travis. He's always composed and relax. Sa aming dalawa, siya ang mas rasyonal mag-isip. But this is our parents we are talking about and I knew what running to his mind kapag ganitong ang kinanti ng kalaban ay ang mahal namin sa buhay.

"He's going to berserk," I murmured.

"If we can't do something, for now, let's try to figure out kung sino ang pupwedeng maging abductor," Maria suggested and we heard a screech as if she parked somewhere.
