The Santiago's

"What do you think sis?" Tanong ni Iñigo sa kapatid na abala kanyang phone.

"I think it's not bad. Just risky." walang gana na sagot ni Angel. "What are you here? I thought you'll be home after your talk with Santiago." Abala sa pag-sagot sa mga email si Angel. Kahit paminsan minsan ay tumitingin ito sa kapatid.

Tinanggal ni Iñigo ang coat at neck tie at pinatong sa lamesa.

"I'll be sleeping here." sagot nito sa kanya habang tinatanggal ang una at pangalawang butones ng suot nitong puting long sleeves.

"What? You get your own room." Nakataas ang kilay ni Angel habang pinagmamasdan ang kapatid na humiga sa sofa.

"That would be too much hassle. After all, we need to talk." napabuntong hininga na lang si Angel sa kapatid. "Tonight Carmelo is flying back to the Philippines." napaupo si Angel sa sinabi ni Iñigo.

"So are you planning to rob his house tonight?"

"Rob? We'll just get information." Napaupo si Iñigo at kinuha ang cellphone.

"It's the same, you dumb. And what?? We?"

"Uh-huh!" sagot ni Iñigo at dinial ang number ni Anton. "Yes bring me clothes. Also for my sister. All black and comfortable... Yes... Santiago's residence....No, here in Londo.... Okay."

"You're out of your mind." Gulat pa rin na sabi ni Angel.

"No. After all you're already awake." natatawang sabi ni Iñigo.

"Fine. Send me his residence in the Philippines." Sabi ni Angel at kinuha ang cell phone.

"Why?" Nagtatakhang tanong ni Iñigo.

"I'm gonna ask Irish to do some work for you." sabi nito at nagpadala ng mensahe sa pinsan na si Irish.

"Oh hello cousin.... Yes... Iñigo is getting insane... I know right.."

"Why don't you put her on speaker." sabi ni Iñigo kaya ayon ang ginawa ni Angel.

[Oh hello Iñigo. Are you insane? Why would you rob the Santiago's?]

"I know you know about the Omega right." sagot naman ni Iñigo

[The one who has been threatening you right.]

"That's still unsure. That's why we need information." Iñigo

[Okay fine. You'll cost a lot for this.]

"Ask him for more cousin." natatawang suhestyon ni Angel. "Also bring Samuel with you."

[Fine. I'll better get going.]

"Thank you Irish." natatawang sabi ni Iñigo.

Saktong pagkababa ng tawag ay ang door bell sa kwarto nila.

"It must be Anton." agad na naglakad palapit si Iñigo sa pinto at binuksan.

"You're clothes." sabi ni Anton at pumasok. "Hey!" bati nito kay Angel.

"Oh you're here." sagot naman ni Angel habang abala sa pagtipa sa kanyang phone.

"Yeah!" iyon lang ang naging sagot ni Anton.

Noon pa man ay may gusto na ito sa dalaga at noon pa man ay hindi na nagpakita nang pagka-interes si Angel dito.

"Don't you really like him?" natatawang tanong ni Iñigo.

"Oh please! Stop asking like you didn't know." sabi ni Angel at agad na pumasok sa banyo para magpalit.
