SHE LAUGH.

"Is it my fault?" She turned her head on me tapos uminom siya ng 1896 V Limmington Wine sa harap ko. Its funny right? Nakuha ko pang malaman yung brand ng wine sang sitwasyong 'to.

"No its not--" I tried to say something but it did not work out. She always had this aura na hindi ko ma-explain but it complement her.

"Yun naman pala e. She knew it already, so what?"

"Are you even listening to me!? She knew I'm not Victoria!" I almost threw my throat when I said that.

"Then she's a treat." She said. Tinignan niya ako ng masama. "She knew your weakness now and anytime from now, gagamitin niya yun laban sayo." She gulped. The last drop of wine fell.

"Tsk." I heard her whine a little.

"What do you mean? We're the same agents here. She's an ally." I said.

"Really?"

Kumunot ang noo ko dun. Reall? Why would she do such thing!? Trisha is a nice girl, pero why does she know my name?

"The real question is," she turned her head at me once more while pouring wine into her glass, "How did she knew."

"Kaya nga ako pumunta sayo. Because you're the only one who knows my real name." I know I ruined the intensity of the mood right there, so what?

"Pinagbibintangan mo ako girl? Ganun?" Maka 'girl' akala niya teenager s'ya.

"No." I replied faster than the speed of light.

"Then know for yourself! A real agent always keeps the information hidden until its confirmed." She said as she sat unto her swivel chair.

"I'm not even a real agent."

"Well this will help." Kinuha niya ang isang 12-inch box na nakapatong sa mesa niya at binuksan ito.

Isang baril. Isa na namang baril.

It was covered in gold ang black outlines. Its a 45 Caliber.

"Another gun?"

Kumunot ang noo niya sa sinabi ko. Patay.

"Another?"

"Ahm what I mean is marami na akong nakitang ganya e kaya ganun. Ehe."

She look at me with suspicion and gave me the gun.
Well, s'ya mismo nagsabing 'A real agent always keep informations.' duh.

"This is yours now. Every girl has one. This is a Golden Fang. Merong 100 lamang neto sa buong mundo kaya ingatan mo."

"Uhuh." I nooded. My hands were shaking. This shit is real gold.

"Now you are not weak." She says.
