Pag dating namin sa rest house nila Liam dito sa pansol, Laguna, walang tao kundi 'yung care taker who said na wala daw dumating dito besides us. Nilibot pa din namin 'yung buong rest house, para sigurado na wala nga sila dito. Agad ko naman ininform si Clyde. Galing na din sila kasama kuya ng kambal na si James at si Margo, sa rest house sa Batangas pero wala din sila doon.

Ayon din sa tauhan ni Tristan, may nag report daw kay Liam at Tiffany sa pulis dahil nag nakaw daw sila ng rental car. If we are in a different situation, I would laugh dahil sa na laman ko. It's just ironic though, a rich kid who can afford a lot cars knows how to stole one.

Infact sa kaniya namin na tutuhan kung paano mag nakaw ng kotse. He had a fucking great mechanical skill. Like his father, he's clever and knowing Liam, gagawa at gagawa talaga siya ng paraan, maka takas lang.

Binayaran na lang din ni Tristan 'yung rental car on it's full price para hindi na mag sampa ng kaso 'yung may ari ng car rental shop. Good thing he was a rich kid.

"Na double check ko na sa taas, wala pa din." Sabi ni Ace, sabay upo sa tabi ko sa stair steps ng front porch.

Kinuha niya mula sa bulsa ng rip jeans niya ang isang box ng sigarilyo at lighter. Kumuha siya ng isang stick, putting it between his lips, saka sinindihan, inhaling and blowing the smoke. Kumuha ako ng isang stick and did the same process.

"Paubaya na lang natin sa pamilya nila 'yung pag hahanap kay Liam. Lalo lang ma-gagalit sa atin 'yun dahil naki sali pa tayo sa pag hahanap sa kaniya. Hayaan na natin siya, diba sabi nga hindi mo ma-hahanap ang ayaw naman mag pa-hanap." Sabi ni Ace.

I sigh, because he kinda had a point. Kaya lang naman kami nag decide na hanapin siya, to make sure he's fine, not to bring him back to his family or what, para din ibalik niya na si Tiffany at hayaan na lang niyang kami kasama niya.

"Paano si Trinity? She badly wanted to find her twin, na parang kinidnap lang naman ng kaibigan natin. The least we could do is help her. Na saan nga pala siya?"

"Na sa backyard. Oo nga nandoon na tayo, pulis naman tatay nila, nag hahanap din naman 'yung kuya nila. Why do you care so much for her anyway?" Ace said, giving me an intriguing look.

"Gusto mo siya 'no?" Mapang asar na sabi niya, that made me roll my eyes.

"Saan naman nang galing 'yan? Ang sinabi ko lang kailangan natin siya tulungan dahil kasama ng kaibigan natin 'yung kambal niya." Paliwanag ko, shaking my head.

Ace snort. "You seem to care so much to her, na dinig ko nga conversation niyo nung tulog ako e and the last time you cared for a girl was your first love and tenth grade girlfriend, Amanda."

"Oh na punta naman kay Amanda. Jusme Acetario, kung wala kang magawa sa buhay mo, mag bigti ka na, masyado kang malisyoso." Natatawa kong sabi.

"I'm just saying, kung wala kang gusto kay Trinity, you don't give a single shit despite her twin was taken away by our best friend. You never give shit about any other girls, unless they are something to you." He said, inhaling from his cigarette and blowing the smoke afterwards. "Or unless you just wanna fuck her."
