Sinara nya ulit ang gate at papasok na sana sa bahay nang muling tumunog ang doorbell.

He opens the gate once again and his forehead wrinkled when there's none. He frowned. Is someone pranking him?

A few seconds later, he felt something hit his head. When he check what's it, he saw a transparent umbrella.

"I'm here,"

Looking down, he blink twice when he saw a kid.

Meron itong suot na bagpack at hawak na payong sa isang kamay. Ito ang ginamit nitong pamalo sakanya at ang ginamit nito pamindot sa doorbell dahil hindi iyon abot ng bata.

"Sino ka?" Ryce asked the kid with a curious look.

He doesn't expect any visitor today. At mas lalong hindi nya inaasahan na meron sakanyang bibisitang bata.

"Is ate Gabriella inside?"

Imbes na sagutin nito ang tanong nya ay nagtanong rin ito.

Si Quel ang unang nalasing sa kanilang dalawa at panay ang pagkukuwento nito tungkol sa kaniyang kaibigan."Gabriella is my childhood friend. We're really close.

Alam mo ba, noong minsan namin syang makumbinsi na sumali sa laro namin na tagu-taguan at sya ang naging taya, hindi pa sampung minuto ang nakakalipas na hindi nya kami nahahanap ay umuwi agad sya.

    Agent Angel just successfully finished her 23rd mission. Natapos nya ito ng walang pawis at pagod dahil para sakanya, hindi uso ang salitang "mahirap" lalo na pagdating sa paggawa ng misyon."Nandito ka ba ulit para humingi ng panibago?" tanong ni Quel, ang kaniyang overseer na itinuturi nya ring isang matalik na kaibigan."Oo sana, pero kung madali lang ulit yan kagaya ng mga nauna kong misyon, ibigay mo nalang sa iba..." she answered bago umupo sa sofa at ipinag-krus ang kaniyang dalawang braso at paa."Iba ang misyon na 'to. Tungkol ito sa magnanakaw na hanggang ngayon ay hirap na hirap hulihin ng mga kapulisan.""Isang magnanakaw?" Agent Angel asked while raising one of her eyebrows."Yup.

Huli siyang nakita 5 years ago, pero kagabi ay merong report na natanggap ang mga pulis na bumalik na naman daw ito sa pagnanakaw. Ilang taon na ang nakalipas, pero hindi parin ito mahuli

Siguro ay gagawin nya ito mamaya kapag napakalma nya ng konti ang sarili nya.Pumasok si Gabriella sa banyo ng kaniyang kwarto at nagbabad sa bathtub habang sumisipsip ng red wine sa hawak-hawak nyang wine glasses. She keeps on recalling the events that happened at the museum earlier and remembering it just makes her face look more annoyed.Silent Thief...Naalala nya ang sinabi nitong muli itong babalik para kunin ang painting bago tumalon sa bintana at tumakas.

    Bandang alas otso y medya, dumating si Quel sa hospital. Hindi daw kasi sumasagot si Gabriella sa mga tawag nya kagabi kaya hindi sya maayos na nakatulog dahil sa sobrang pag-alala sa kaibigan.He called her again this morning, and finally, Gabriella answered and explained to him over the phone what happened and how her target got arrested by the police.She mentioned Jenna's name and told Quel that the woman got shot last night. Nang magtanong kung saang hospital ito dinala ay hindi ito nagdalawang isip na pumunta para bisitahin at kamustahin ang dating kaklase. He even bought flowers for her.Gabriella noticed Jenna's cheeks turning red dahil tanda nyang meron itong gusto kay Quel noon. But Quel was too blind to notice it dahil si Jewel lang ang laging nasa isip nito."I thought you didn't come to the reunion dahil ayaw mo akong makita.""That's not true... I'm just really busy with my work. At saka, ba't mo naman naisip na ayaw kitang makita kaya hindi ako pumunta? Masyado kang mag

    Pagkarating sa hospital, agad na inoperahan si Jenna sa operating room, at sa kabutihang palad ay naging maayos naman ito.Panay ang pagpapasalamat ni Gabriella sa doktor na umopera sa kaibigan. When she heard the doctor said that her friend is safe, tila nabunutan ng tinik ang dibdib nya.Nilipat si Jenna sa isang kwarto para maayos na makapagpahinga. Dahil wala na itong pamilya at nag-iisa nalang ito ay naisipan ni Gabriella na huwag umalis doon hanggat sa hindi pa ito gumigising.Pagkasilip kay Jenna sa kwarto at nakita itong payapang natutulog ay naisipan nyang umupo sa mahabang upuan sa labas.Her phone rung, her husband is calling. Sinagot nya ang tawag at kinuwento dito ang nangyari kay Jenna. But she didn't tell him all the details katulad na nakita nya itong mabaril sa mismong harapan nya. Before the end of the call, Ryce told her to wait for him dahil pupunta sya sa hospital para dal'han sya ng damit pamalit.As she waits for her husband to arrive, she stares at the ceiling
