Vengeance (ViceRylle story)

1.6 Billion Pesos

BOSS: How's the kid?
SCIENTIST: As of now, she's fine, Boss. We still can't push through with the experiment.
BOSS: Ilang linggo na yang delayed ha?
SCIENTIST: Yes, Boss. I'm sorry. We just have to run a few more tests para sa compatibility ng solution na ilalagay natin sa kanya. We have to make sure na hindi iyon magkakaroon ng negative reaction sa katawan ng bata.
BOSS: Make sure that you can finish this as soon as po---
DOUBLE AGENT: How's the project? Is it done?
BOSS: Ah! Here comes the Double Agent! The experiment's not done yet. According to our scientist, may dapat pa silang itest before pushing through.
DOUBLE AGENT: I'm running out of time, doctor. Tapusin nyo yan as soon as you can, or else I'm a dead meat... so is this group.
SCIENTIST: Yes, I understand Double Agent.

Umalis na ang scientist at naiwan sa hallway ang Boss at ang Double Agent.
BOSS: So, ano na ang balita sa headquarters nyo?
DOUBLE AGENT: So far, so good. Hindi pa naman nila nahahalata yung mga pinaggagagawa ko doon. And here's my present.
BOSS: (takes the present from Double Agent) Great job, Double Agent!
DOUBLE AGENT: (scoffs) Sabihin mo nga yan sa mga bosses namin.
BOSS: (chuckles) Still not over it?
DOUBLE AGENT: Big deal sa akin 'to, Boss. Ang hirap kaya na lagi kang ina-underestimate.
BOSS: Worry no more, Double Agent. Once were through with this experiment, you'll be the greatest!
DOUBLE AGENT: By the way, the main reason I paid a visit today is to warn you.
BOSS: Bakit?
DOUBLE AGENT: Our Superman, Agent V22, is missing. Pati yung asawa nya na si Agent K14 ay hindi rin namin macontact. I'm a hundred percent sure na they are after you.
BOSS: Don't worry, we can handle them.
DOUBLE AGENT: Keep in mind that they're among the best agents in ABSCBN. They are the "Power Duo".
BOSS: I know. Kaya nga kinuha natin ang anak nila 'di ba?
DOUBLE AGENT: Yup, I'm just reminding you. Pagsabihan mo rin ang mga tauhan mo.
BOSS: I will. Now, I have to go and talk to our Big Man.

Sa ABSCBN Headquarters naman, biglang nagpatawag ng emergency meeting ang big bosses nila. Nagtipon-tipon ang mga agents sa conference hall.
CHACO: Are we all here?
AGENTS: Yes, Ma'am.
CHACO: I've asked you to gather here today for an important announcement. Your missions will not be sufficiently funded by the agency.
AGENTS: (murmur)
CHACO: To explain further, here's our budgeting officer, Agent M16.
MARIEL: Earlier today, Agent K45 asked for money to budget the new experiment that he is going to conduct. With Agent GL's approval, we took the specified amount of money. But we noticed that our fund has dropped from 5.3 billion pesos to 3.7 billion pesos. Nawawalan tayo ng 1.6 billion pesos.
JUGS: 1.6 billion? That's a huge amount.
MARIEL: Yes, and we don't know what happened. All the transactions made are noted on the main computer for record. We reviewed everything earlier but there is no record of the 1.6 billion peso transaction.
BILLY: What if that amount was not taken as a whole? I mean, baka naman kinuha yan part by part.
VHONG: Oo nga, Agent M16. O kaya baka na-miscalculate lang kayo.
MARIEL: (iling) No, we checked and computed everything. Nawawalan talaga tayo ng ganoong kalaking pera.
TEDDY: Nacheck nyo ba yung accounts nila Agent V22 and Agent K14? Hindi sa tinuturo ko sila ha? Baka lang kasi.
AMY: Agent Teddspotting has a point. Baka kaya sila nag-AWOL dahil doon.
BILLY: But why would they do such thing? They are among the highest paid agents. They do not need that money.
JUGS: Oo nga, barya nalang sa kanila yung ganoong kalaking pera.
TEDDY: Malay ba natin. Again, I am not telling na sila iyon. We're looking at a big picture here. Dapat tinitignan natin ang bawat anggulo. Pwede ring si Agent A21 ang may kagagawan nun.
MARIEL: No, imposibleng si Agent A21 iyon dahil recently lang nawala ang pera. If its Agent A21, dapat dati pa natin nalaman yung tungkol doon.
CHACO: Agent M16, freeze Agent V22 and Agent K14's accounts now!
MARIEL: Yes, Ma'am.

Lumabas na si Mariel sa conference hall upang gawin ang iniatas sa kanyang tungkulin at si Chaco na ang nagtake over.
CHACO: With what's happening in our agency, I need all of you to keep watch. Work on the cases assigned to you but don't forget about Agent V22 and Agent K14. We are not one hundred percent sure about what's going on with them but we have to be careful. With them not reporting in the agency is more than enough for us to get suspicious.
JUGS: Ma'am, paano po kung napahamak sila kaya hindi sila makareport dito? Baka naman po wala silang ginagawang masama o kahit anong laban sa agency.
CHACO: Like what I've said, hindi tayo nakakatiyak kung nasaan talaga sila at kung ano na ang nangyari sa kanila. What we're doing is just a precaution.

Habang nagsasalita si Chaco sa harap ng mga agents, humahangos na pumasok sa loob ng conference hall si Mariel.
MARIEL: Ma'am, zero balance na ang accounts nila Agent V22 at K14. Based on the transaction record, they took all their money earlier this morning.

Naninigarilyo sa loob ng trailer si Romeo nang biglang magwala si Mercutio sa loob ng cage nito. Nabahala naman si Romeo dahil hindi kumakalma ang alaga nyang parrot. Hindi nagtagal, may nagbukas ng pintuan ng trailer. Tinignan nito ang ibon bago lumapit kay Romeo.
UNKNOWN MAN: Romeo, here's a million pesos and a couple of firearms. Tell me everything I need to know about Jose Marie Viceral and his wife, Ana Karylle Tatlonghari.
