"DEAR CLARION,

When you walk hand in hand with me, I feel the strongest and the happiest man in this world. When you look into my eyes, I feel that I can conquer this world. Thank you for always believing in me and bringing out the best in me.

I love you forever, my gem.

-Sandro"

"Sir!" I heard the General called me pero dali-dali akong sumakay ng sasakyan ko papunta kay Clarion.

"I'm coming, Clarion." I said to myself.

I know where she is.

She is still inside their old office.

I hope ligtas sya.

I hope matapos na ang lahat ng ito so we can live a peaceful life with Iridessa.

It took me less than 30 minutes bago makarating sa office nila.

It was so quiet.

Hindi ko alam kung anong naghihintay sa akin dito.

Kung may mga NPA ba na nakapalibot but I know they are inside.

Dahan dahan akong naglakad papasok ng office when Apollo pointed the gun at me.

He took my gun and pushed me inside.

Clarion's face was bruised up.

May piring ang mga mata nya and nakatakip ang bibig.

"Finally." Julie said habang nakatayo sa gilid ni Clarion.

Tito Vince was in the corner at halatang pagod na pagod na.

Habang si Apollo naman nasa likuran ko.

"Buti naman na-figure out mo na kung nasaan kami." Julie said.

"Ano ba talaga ang kailangan nyo?" I asked.

"Where is Libby?" Tito Vince asked.

"If you're asking if she is still alive. She is."

Sagot ko naman.

"Where did you take her?" Tito Vince asked again.

"Nakakulong. Kasama yung mga pinadala nyo ding NPA para magmasid sa amin."

I heard Julie chuckled.

"Please. Pakawalan nyo na si, Clarion. Hindi naman sya kasali dito."

"Tito Vince... please--"

"You think you can live a peaceful like with Clarion once this is over?" Julie interrupted me

"No. Anak sya ng lider namin. Isa din syang NPA. Nasa dugo nya 'yan." She added.

"Ano ba talaga ang gusto nyong mangyari?"

"Gusto namin ng mapayapang pamumuhay bilang bagong bayan ng Pilipinas." Tito Vince answered.

"What? By torturing innocent people? By taking out the democracy?" I answered.
