Dale's Point Of View

This girl...her voice sounds familiar. Parang narinig ko na dati. Hindi ko alam kung saan. I was staring at her the whole time, and I know she's aware. She's wearing a scorpion mask kaya hindi ko makita ang kabuoan ng mukha niya. When she parked the car, she immediately got out of the car and dragged me out. Again. Ang lakas ng babaeng 'to. I don't think this is their headquarters.

"Yeah, this is one of our bases." Binasa niya ba ang utak ko?

When we reached her office, she immediately sat in her swivel chair at marahang pumikit.

"What do you want?" She smiled at me.

"Be part of PRG. Be the fourth family."

"It's not too much right? We'll be giving you privileges. We'll train you and teach you everything you need to know. We'll take care of you and we won't let anyone harm you. We promise to treat you, and your mates, as our full-blooded brothers." Is she asking me kung pwedeng sumapi kami sa gang nila? What the hell?

"Paano ako makakasiguro na tutuparin mo ang mga sinasabi mo?"

"You have my word. If you want, ibibigay ko sayo ang copy ng recorder ng HQ." Nagulat ako ng bigla niyang tinanggal ang mask niya.

Drake's Point of View

"Who called her?" Nandito na kami sa ospital na pagmamay-ari ng pamilya nila Eliza. The Fourtelle is a family of Doctors, Engineers and anything related to Science. At eto, sinesermunan kami ng magaling na leader ng Beta na si Darren. Hindi na raw namin dapat dinamay ang Queen dito.

"I did!" He shot a glare at me. Hays, ang ganda naman ng bungad ng POV ko!

"Why the heck did you call her?! Kaya naman nating tapusin 'yun ah!" Blah, blah, blah. I got out of the room when I heard him shout my name.

"I'll just grab a drink!"

I didn't call the Queen dahil wala akong tiwala kay Swag. I called her because I want her to be involved here. A week before malaman kong balak nila Swag na kalabanin ang gang na iyon, I researched about their gang and looked for bits of infos about its members. High profiles, tsk. Syempre, 'di naman mga tanga yun para basta-basta na lang na maglabas ng impormasyon tungkol sa kanila. I hacked their database. And to tell you honestly, I'm a computer freak. Their leader, Ezekiel Alderson, seemed to be acquainted with Eliza's brother. Or friends maybe. May nakita akong picture nila nung nasa Japan sila. Agad akong pumunta kila Eliza nu'n at pinakita sa kanya.

What sucks is wala naman kaming balita kay Alexander(kuya ni Eliza) mahigit isang taon na. Kahit sarili niyang pamilya, hindi alam kung nasaan siya. Maybe they know where he is at hindi lang nila pinapaalam o sadyang magaling siyang magtago. What bothers me more is that mukhang kilala ni Eliza 'tong Ezekiel na 'to. She was shocked nung pinakita ko yung picture. Maybe he's someone from her past?

Alexiannah's Point Of View

He's staring at me for a couple of minutes. Probably thinking if he'll accept my offer or not.

"Okay." Okay lang ang sasabihin niya? Wait, what?

"Okay, as in, you're accepting my offer?!" Tinaasan lang ako ng kilay. Suplado.

"May magagawa ba ako? For the sake of my gang." I flashed him my sweet victory smile. "So, when's the briefing?"

"Tomorrow."

"I see. Can I go now?" Hindi niya na ako hinintay na sumagot. He immediately got out of the room. Tsk, same old jerk...Oh shit! I forgot about my girlfriends! I gotta go home na!

Shanaiah's Point Of View

"Hi Tito, Tita!" Kadarating lang namin sa bahay nila Eliza. Well, magkakaibigan ang pamilya naming tatlo kaya wag na kayong magtaka kung bakit close kami sa parents niya.

"You girls are spending the night together?" Tita Christine asked.

"Yes po Tita, nandyan na po ba si Eliza?" She loves her gang just as she loves us kaya ganun na lang ang pag-aalala niya nung narinig niya yung news kanina.

Later on, we heard someone shouted, "I'm here!" She kissed her parents on the cheek at nagmano then we immediately went upstairs para pumunta sa kwarto niya.

"Spill it, what happened?" Bungad na tanong ni Akie pagkapasok namin sa kwarto niya.

"Don't worry, Kuya Darren and others are fine. Then me and that gang's leader..." Tiningnan niya muna kami at saka bumuntong-hininga. Then she suddenly smiled.

"Made an agreement." Well, that's the typical Eliza. Gusto niya laging dinadaan sa maayos na usapan.

"And that agreement is?" She smiled again.

"Sumanib sa gang namin." What the hell?! Nagkatinginan nalang kaming dalawa. What kind of decision is that?

"Chill girls, they can be trusted okay?"

"How do you say so? What if may masama silang intensyon sa gang?! What if sila pa ang maging dahilan ng pagbagsak niyo?! Why did you trust him easily?!" Eliza's jaw dropped.

"What do you...I haven't mentioned that their leader is a guy."

"I mean, mga lalaki naman talaga ang gang leaders diba?"

"Then what about me?" Crap. Now we're doomed.

"We're freaking worried okay? Masyado mo nang pinapagod ang sarili mo kaka-investigate ng kung ano. Tinanong namin si Drake. What the heck Eliza? Hanggang ngayon pa rin ba?"

Then all of a sudden, napaupo na lang siya sa kama niya. She's crying... again. We were wrong. Akala namin tuluyan na siyang nakalimot. Hindi pa pala.

Timothy's Point Of View

"So yeah, we're officially part of their gang." Napuno ng katahimikan ang kwarto pagkatapos ipaliwanag ni Dale ang kasunduan.

Pagtapos ng pag-uusap namin, isa-isa na kaming lumabas para pumunta sa kanya-kanya naming kwarto. Dumiretso ako sa kwarto ni Dale dahil sabi niya ay mag-uusap kami. Pagkarating ko sa kwarto niya, ayun tulog. Hawak cellphone niya. May naka-play na video. Ah, I see. Eto yata yung sinasabi niyang record ng CCTV sa base ng gang na nakalaban namin kanina. Babae ang kausap ni Dale. Hindi ko makita yung mukha niya kasi nakatalikod siya sa camera. Suddenly, she swifted her swivel chair towards the camera. And then, I was shocked when I see her face.
