Sera's Pov:
"Dang it! Answer the phone, Logan!" Kanina pa ako tipa nang tipa sa phone ko pero di pa rin sinasagot ni Logan ang tawag ko. I'm curious kung ano na nangyari sa kanila. For sure kasama nya si Phoenix, palagi naman. Hindi na mapaghihiwalay ang dalawang yun.
"Wala pa rin? Time is running guys." Clinton said and his face is now cleaned after treating him earlier.
"He's not answering my calls."
"Why not try to call Phoenix?" Ice asked and I furrowed my eyebrows. I sighed at inunat ang mga braso ko.
"As if she would answer my call."
"Oh.. trust me." Clinton smirked at me and I just rolled my eyes at him. I picked up my phone and search for her contact.
Answer my call pls... c'mon Phoenix..
"Hello."
"Oh, yes baby!" Napatayo ako sa gulat at tuwa. Parang nanalo lang sa lotto eh.
"I told you, Sera. Keke." I rolled my eyes at Clinton again. This dumkoff pumpkin.
"Hello? Phoenix? Where are you? Are you with Logan right now?" Wala akong narinig na sagot kundi kaluskos at sigaw lang. Sino yung sumisigaw?
"Uh, yeah. He's with me. Are you all at the campus right now? We'll be there in 15 minutes." She said and I still hear shouting, or more like raging, and I think someone is punching a wall. What the heck is wrong?
"Phoenix, nasaan kayo?"
I heard her sigh deeply and heard someone tapping heels on the floor. Eh?
"I'm dropping the call. Wait for us."
Litong binaba ko ang phone habang yung tatlo ay nakatingin sakin ngayon. Nah uh, they'll probably ask me about the conversation on the call.
"Are they fighting?" Ice asked me and I shrugged my shoulders.
"Nways. Since natawagan na natin sila. When they get here, we're going to start our plan." Clinton said and I saw Parker na papasok. She looks weird today. Did something happen? Well, of course. Natamaan sya ng baril eh. Stupid Sera.
"Hey, uh I found something." Napatingin kami kay Parker nang mag salita ito.
"What is it?"
"It's about the handkerchief, the word 'Smile' on it, remember?" We all nod together and let her continue with what she's going to say.
"Uhm I think 'Smile' is an organization somewhere in Germany." Her face is serious and not showing any expression that can indicate her statement is untrue.
"How can you say that?" Logan asked.
"Practically, 'lächeln' is a German word and I searched around the internet, and I didn't see any information about this. That's when I went to deeper websites." Parker said and she sigh deeply.
"And what website is that?" Clinton asked.
"Deep Web."
"What the fu—"
"Language, Clinton." Rowan said at the corner. She's been quiet since earlier at ngayon lang sya nag salita ulit.
"Sorry."
"Pumunta ka sa Deep Web? But it's too dangerous to go there." Ice said while furrowing his eyebrows.
"I know but at least we got information about them."
I nodded. I mean she's right. Pero di ko lang maisip na pumunta sya sa delikadong site, that was a bit risky that she took.
"The Smile Organization is a scam company where they use other people's credit cards to get their money." Pagpapatuloy nya.
"Additionally, they don't hurt people or pick fights to obtain their personal cards. They let people willingly give them their cards."
"How is that possible?" I asked her.
"The beggars. That's their target. They can be easily manipulated by offering them homes and food in exchange for their personal belongings." Napasinghap ako sa sinabi nya. Damn.
"You said they don't use harm but use sweet words, yet they used violence against us." Tanong ni Clinton.
"Are you a beggar?" I asked him. He shook his head.
"That explains it well."
"They caused violence to you two because we are a threat to them. They took an interest in us, and us being here will be a hindrance to their organization." Rowan said. Oh, nag search din ba sya sa deep site na yun?
"This is just the beginning." I said.
Parker nodded and the door suddenly opened.
"Oh, the lovely couple birds. Keke." Clinton said.
