Nagbihis ako at kinuha ang laptop pati ang files. I dialed Dierdre's number.

"Hello, Ate?"

"Dre, can you track someone?"

"Sure. Who?"

"I'll send you the number. I want the result ASAP. Is that possible?"

"Yep! Kinda bored na rin."

"Good."

"Ate, please be careful." Paalala niya.

"I'll be fine. Ibababa ko na to ha? Send ko ang number."

"Okay.."

I ended the call and sent her the number.

Naisip ko yung sinabi niya. Why is everyone concerned about my safety? Hindi naman ako mamamatay ah.

Dre calling...

"Dre?"

"I tracked the number and.." I waited for her next words. "And its coordinates are.." Alien na naman siya. "Ohh.. Deogracia Island." She said finally.

"What? Come again."

"Deogracia Island. The abandoned island. Yung islang malapit sa Pirate Bay. Yung islang walang pumupunta dahil nakakatakot daw. Oh wait.. May na-search ako. It says, it is owned by scientist Bienvenido Deogracia. Oh wow. Siya pala yung naka-discover nung cure sa poison na yun? Wow!"

"Dre! What the hell are you saying?!"

"Wait, Ate! May mga anak siya, dalawa. He was married to Eirene Sinclair. Wow!"

"Drazen Lyannella Montecillo!"

"Naman! Wait lang! Don't hung up, 'kay?"

"Umayos kang bata ka!"

"Okay.. Well, here it is. Dr. Deogracia is married to Eirene Sinclair but they divorced and walang nakalagay na rason. May mga anak sila in which, yung lalako ang nakakuha sa custody. Hmm.. Wait. What the fuck?"

"What? What??"

"Holy gods! Si Ninang Bianca ay anak ni Eirene Sinclair na anak ni Justice Sinclair, Sr. na siyang may-ari ng university na pinapasukan mo!"

"Dre! Hindi ko mainintindihan."

"Nanay ni Ate Nemo si Bianca Deogracia. Gets?"

"Who the hell is that? And what did you say? Deogracia?"

"Uh-huh! Naka-highlight kasi yung name ni Ninang eh, then I clicked it."

"Wait. Hold on."

Napahilot ako sa sentido. What the hell is going on?

"Okay. Paano naging Deogracia si Senator eh hindi naman Deogracia ang middle name ni Singkit?!" Naguguluhan na talaga ako.

"Dunno, ngayon ko lang din nalaman."

"Are you sure about this?"

"Uh-huh.. May picture si Ninan eh tsak di ako magkakamali kahit bored ako. It's really Ninang Bianca Zhang."

"Wait.. Did you say na sa Deogracia Island yung location nung number na ibinigay ko sa iyo?"

"Yep! That's the location about 15 minutes ago.."

"Bakit? May iba pa ba?"

"Wala na and I can't tracE it anymore.."I heard some tapping. "Matalino ata may-ari nung number. Sino ba yun?"

"I don't know. Any other addition to the information?"

"Wala na. Itanong mo nalang si Ate Nemo, mamshie naman niya si Ninang eh."
