Keigan and I were in front of the station, getting out of the car.
"Last night was rough, but you handled it as a professional, indeed...Well-done partner!" Logan congratulated me. "You really nailed down that Von guy! He was a real pain in the neck!"
"Oohh, you surprise me! You CAN actually notice something other but good looks?"
"I sure can notice you're being rude to me for no reason!"
"I do nothing for no reason..."
"Right, I forgot.. I'm working with the Miss "know-it-all!"
I just rolled my eyes and gave him a blatant look.
'What should I do?'
Keep arguing.
"Finally, nakuha mo din! Ang masasabi ko lang, watch and learn!"
"Gosh, you're impossible! Can we just cease fire?"
"Oo naman, just remember na ikaw ang unang magba-back off!"
Keigan just keep staring at me not believing, kung paano ako ka-childish.
At nang marealize ko ito...
"OK, OK...stop giving me that look! I cross ths line here, I know...I'm sorry! Anong magagawa ko, my bad temper and poor social skills make me childish sometimes!"
"Apology accepted. There, ganyan tayo mag-behave. Just in case you want to try it out someday!"
"Hah. I could see it coming! Tatawa lang ako at mananahimik. You were a big support last night partner! There, I said it!"
"Wow! thank you, partner!"
We smiled and high-fived each other to seal the truce.
"So, you and the little guy..."
"Gago, it's Tobias kase, not little guy."
"Little Toby, right.."
"Anong tungkol ba sakaniya?"
"You don't really think you're falling for that, right?"
'Huh? What will I say?'
I don't get it, grr.
"Para saan? Di ko maintindihan..."
"Oh, don't act like you don't know it. You keep him around, kausap mo siya..."
"May problema ba doon?"
"Oh, there you go! I knew that was it!"
"What "that"!?"
"Teasing me. That's what. I see through it. Don't you feel it?"
"Feel what?!"
"The tension, the "will we -- won't we"?"
"Ayan ang iniisip mo ngayon? Hindi ang kaso?"
"I can multi-task, Nathalie."
"You really are something, aren't you?"
"I know that, deep down, you really think that I am something."
"Sure I do... Can we now move on from interrogating me to interrogating real suspects?"
"Yes, cant wait na makita si Von Martin sa kulungan! Hope we'll dig some dirt on him!"
"Ako din, though I won't put my hopes up high!He's a big player, won't be caught red-handed so easily!"
"Gotta try! Come on, tara na sa loob!"
After a couple of minutes....
"Darn! We gotta drive two blocks back."
"Bakit?" tanong ko.
"Nakalimutan kong bilhan ng breakfast si Chief."
"Hahahaha...Told ya so!"
