Are you really going to meet Sarah's group?" Lui asked Jenny three times now.
They were currently walking towards the vacant lot that the man mentioned earlier. And since they walked to go there, Lui has been asking the question over and over again."En.""What if you get hurt?""That won't happen." She calmly answered her."But...""Lui," Jenny stopped walking... "I think it's better if you go home first.""I don't want to! " I'll wait for you"."Then.. Stop worrying too much." She was annoyed by what her friend said repeatedly. She knows that she is worried but the repetition is ringing in her ears."......"They continued walking until they reached the location. Many students were there. Most of them are Sarah's older brother's classmates.. The rest are Sarah's troops.."She's here!" A spectator shouted.Everyone turned to look at her.. Sarah's older brother was already standing on the cement plot. It looks like a tableau."I thought you wouldn't come." The man spoke on the stage about their future fight."Why don't I go?" She answered him. She looked at Sarah then she spoke again. "Sarah is your sister?""Yes. She was the one who told me about you.""What a loser..""Shut up Jenny! Let's see how arrogant you are after my brother beat you up." Don't ruin her face brother! I will destroy that woman's face!" She shouted while pointing her."Tsk!" Are you sure that's your sister?! " she asked the man in front of him? "Asking you to fight a girl for her? Aren't you two ashamed?" She insulted the brothers and sisters which caused whispers around.Sarah's face was red.. While the man looked embarrassed. But the man can't do anything, his sister gave the order, and He's the older brother."The babbling is enough.. Don't change the subject." The man's voice was mixed with annoyance and shame."...... Well you're the one who challenged.. Do the first move. I'm also in a hurry because I don't want Lui to worry too much---"She didn't finish what she was going to say when suddenly the man threw a punched to her.. But why is it too slow?She saw that each blow was very slow so she avoids it quickly."No way!" The crowd murmurs... "what we're seeing? Joseph can't even hit Jenny?!"Sarah was stunned.. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. His older brother kept trying to hit Jenny but he couldn't even hit her."What are you doing brother???!!!" Sarah shouted.. "Stop playing and kill her already!""Kill me?.. Are you sure he can?" Sarah asked with a smile, now she can see that the nervousness in Sarah's chest was lifted."Shut up! Joseph yelled at his sister. "If you want to destroy Jenny's face, come up here!" The man also annoyed by his sister.Again.. It released a kick following the punch for Jenny.. But it couldn't even hit.Margaret also is thinking.."His kicks and punches are so slow.. Is it because of the eye of the Phoenix?" She asked herself. She was feeling bored.. So when her palm quickly met Joseph's face, she slammed him on the floor.."Ugh!" Joseph's groan.. It was too sudden and very fast. He didn't even see the girl's action. How is that even possible?"Enough playing" Jenny said. "You're too weak." After saying that, she gave the man a strong consecutive slap. She can't kill him or beat him badly now because of the many onlookers."Ahhhhhh!!!!! Stop!!!!" Sarah screamed... "Let go of my brother..! You bully!""Wow!.. Am I a bully?" She looked sharply at Sarah. The man lost consciousness probably because of the amount of slaps she unleashed. "Didn't I warn you?" She stood up and stepped closer to her. The other students gradually retreated who may also be afraid to sympathize after they saw how Jenny beat up the so-called leader of the bullies in the school."What are you going to do with me?" Sarah's voice trembled. Fear was on her face.. "Don't come near me!" You can't hurt me! I will report to the police!!" This is a threat.Jenny stopped approaching."Go ahead." She said."Call the police.. And tell them why we are here, Go ahead.."Sarah started to cry. .."You..." "You better shut up!" Jenny cut off what she was going to say at the same time as her right hand raised up and she landed a strong slap on the woman's cheek." ahhhh! Stop! ..." The woman yelled while crying.But Jenny just kept slapping her. While she was doing that, she remembered how this girl was beating the real Jenny. She stopped what she was doing when she saw that the girl's nose was bleeding and the side of her lip was cracked.Then she says..."Tell your brother.. Starting now. I am the boss in that school. And if I heard that you, or he and his group have bullied other students again, this is not the only thing you will received from me. Am I clear?!"The girl could not speak anymore.. But she nodded again and again. She left her behind and faced the onlookers."Listen!! Whoever is bullied by these brothers and sisters, Come to me.. I will punish them.. Do you understand??! ""Yeeessssss! " the students shouted as an answer.She turned to the companion of the siblings."Help them".They followed in a hurry. She looked for Lui..The girl is standing in the distance and gaping.. It looks like shock so she approached her."Are you okay?"she asked Lui"Jenny..." her eyes widen when she mentions her name."En?""Wow!!!!!!!! You're great!!! Cool!!!" Lui is applauding her even more..."Haha.. Told yah. I'm fine. Believe me now?!" She took her bag from the girl."Yes yes!!!" Lui answered while nodding.."Let's go home.. Our parents are waiting for us.""Yesss! Lui even jumped up and walked along with her... Her smile was constant as they walked until they got on the Jeep to go home.When they got out of the car.. they walked again into the village. They were still far from home when they saw the neighbors gathering in the distance."What's going on?" Lui asked.."Dunno.. Let's check.." She answered, pulling her friend.."Excuse me.. Let us through. What's going on?" She asked the people there."Jenny?" A woman recognized her. "It's Jenny. Jeniva's daughter is here!" The woman still yelling..She suddenly got nervous.. "What's going on?! " she asked herself.She came near their house. And she saw Lui's Mom crying.."Mom!" What happened?" Lui ran to her mother."Lui... Hnnng." She hugged her daughter." Your Auntie... Hnnng""Where is Mama auntie?" Jenny asked nervously."Jenny.. Oh Jenny, Your Mom, the debt collectors took her by force. I want to call the police but,I don't know what to say because I don't even know where they took your Mom. And besides, I couldn't recognize the faces of the three men who took your Mama..." She explained while crying." The incident was quick... They just took your Mama in the van." Hnnnngggg..."Lui... Bring auntie inside first.""Okay.. But.. What's your plan?.. She looked at her critically.. To which she returned a smile..."don't worry.. I will bring back my mom..".. That was all she answered."okay.. Be careful..""En.""What are you talking about, Jenny?" Aling Selly asked her wondering.."No auntie.. I'll just try to find mom..." She answered here. "I'll come back when I can't see her. And I'll ask the police for help."The lady nodded and hugged her."Be careful.." Come back soon..".."Yes... I'll be right back."..She got out of her embrace and turned back.Where does she have to start looking? In the PC room of course.. She needs help..From camera..."Hello! Good Afternoon..! Is there any vacant available Sir?" That was Margaret's immediate question to the teenager who was sitting near the entrance-exit of the PC room. She is sure that this guy is the watchman of those times."For how many hours?" He asked politely while standing up."Open hour" She answered.Open hour- means you are willing to pay no matter how long you spend using the computer. 98% of the people who use the PC room are gamers.. But 2% is surely for private matters like her. She is there not to play games, but to hack the CCTV cameras installed in every corner of the road that the van may have traveled on.According to the descriptions, her mother rode in a black tinted van."Give me the seat at the corner." She added to her answer to the child. She followed him and opened the monitor."Here...." She handed the money for the advance payment.You have to pay an advance fee if you use an open hour."Thank you." After the boy received his money, he returned to his
The five men standing inside stared at her. They looked at the one who had fallen and noticed that he had lost consciousness. Then looked at Margaret again."Who are you?" A man who was involved in the kidnapping of his mother asked. This is the same man who shouted earlier to order his companions to kill the man who was currently sitting on the floor and was slowly getting up."Me?"... Margaret said as she pointed to herself. "I'm just a student... Jeniva Sanchez's daughter who is currently your hostage and is locked in one of the rooms of your building. My name is Jenny... Jenny Capria Sanchez." she answered the question with a smile. Then she suddenly changed her face expression.. The whole of Antarctica was on her face because of the coldness of her expression... "I'm also here to kill you.." She added..They were stunned, but after a while, the four laughed loudly."You?! you're going to kill us? The standing leader of the four including the unconscious one laughingly asked."E
Martinez Memorial Hospital. "What happened?" David greeted her. Fast than to five o'clock he immediately went to the front of the hospital's information desk.She borrowed the cell phone of one of the nurses who also attended to her when she was rushed to the hospital, and called David. Her doctor and the director of this hospital. The man was still at home when he received the call."My mom's unconscious... She has been kidnapped by the loan sharks." Brief explanation from Margaret. "And you? What's this?" He holds on the hem of her school uniform. "Blood?! Are you injured?!.. This is a worried question. " Marie, check her if she has a bruise or something.. " He ordered the nurse who was following him. She must be David's assistant."I'm fine.. I've no bruises..." She stopped the woman who was about to approach her. "I just called you so you can check my mom's health status." She said to David."You used the hospital phone, don't you have one?""En.""Here.. Use mine.." It was Zio
"What, what?, I'm only 18 years old and you're obviously a few years older than me, so I should just call you big brother." Margaret's realistic explanation to Zion."Right.. I'm older than you.. So you must behave in there. Many big people regularly come to Casino Manila, local and foreign." Man's warning.'I know.." Margaret whispered to herself.. How could she not know, when she was living with her own body she always entered the Casino of another country.. Not to play, but to talk to their boss and accept a mission ."Okiedokie." She answered excitedly. If she didn't play before, this time... She will rob some money by winning the games. She needs money for her mother. And above all, she needs money for her revenge.Before 1976, most of Manila had events of illegal gambling, and the operating of unlicensed casinos had begun in the country of the Philippines. Since 1976, the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) has regulated the rules around the grounds of gambling.
It's already 11:36 when she enters her mother's hospital room. Nurses on the night shift were the ones she met, couldn't take their eyes off her as she walked down the hospital corridor.Because, she is still wearing the red gown she wore in the casino earlier. She caught Marie laying on the empty bed on the other side of that room. She turned to her mother's side, She's sleeping. She went to the bathroom and started to get dressed. David is too kind to give them a private room. Even she doesn't understand why he is helping her. She took her phone and typed a message for the said doctor. The message is short and simple."I'm back and I can pay."She put her phone back in the pouch and left the bathroom. Marie is awake. Maybe she was awakened because of the rustling she was doing in the bathroom."Ma'am.. You are back." She greets her with a smile."En." She looked at the clock hanging on the wall. "It's already midnight.. You can continue sleeping." She said to her"Okay."The young n
"Announcement for all students of senior high who are going to graduate, think about what course you will take when you come to college." It was the voice of their adviser who was currently collecting the answer sheets. "And, your names and test scores will be posted on the school forum. So I hope everyone will be kind and wait." Jenny forgot, it was her last year in high school. Somehow, she got revenge for the real Jenny from those who abused her. Not bad anymore."It's too early for lunch, what should we do?" It's Lui..Jenny thought. Tomorrow she can take her mother out of the hospital. If they go back to where they used to live it's dangerous. She does not yet know who are the people of the most prominent loan sharks are. And she didn't want to find out anymore because Zion assured her that he would take care of it."I have to go somewhere. Do you want to come?" She asked her friend back."Hmmm-hmmm" Lui nodded and answered."Fix your things."It acted quickly and fixes the stuf
Zion opened the door of the car in front of him and got out. He opened the passenger seat and let Mia in. The cold atmosphere spread inside the sedan when Zion re-entered next to the driver's seat."Hello, Miss Mia.. " it was Cain's voice. They know each other because they always meet at Zion's Grandfather's house."Hello Cain." The girl greeted the young man in return."You're still beautiful as always" Cain praised with a smile."Thank you, and you're still a sweet talker like before.""Heh..."After that conversation, nothing more was heard after that. Only when the car started moving did Mia speak again."How have you been, Zion? This is a formal question."Good." Zion answered sparingly."Still cold, huh!""..... "Mia sighed...Zion didn't say a word again choosing to close his eyes while folding his arms. Aron and Cain also noticed the atmosphere so they didn't say anything.M.O.A. Ground floor."You don't have to accompany us anymore uncle." Jenny said to the driver who was st
When Jenny opened the door of her mother's room in the Hospital, she immediately saw that she had a visitor. Its David. The people inside turned at the same time when she entered."Jenny! It's good that you're back, why did you return home late?" The lady asked worriedly.She placed the shopping on the empty sofa and approached her mother. She gave her a kiss on the forehead.."I'm sorry, Lui and I enjoyed our shopping. We didn't realize the time and the traffic on the highway overtook me." She apologized while explaining to her mother."Ahw..... I also thought that's how it was." She hugged her waist."You have a visitor?" She then turned to David who was also quietly observing while waiting for her to notice him."Yes." Her mom "I told Marie that I was worried about you, so she called Doc. David." We about to call you when you arrive.""Hmmm... I see.." She said then stroked the mother's cheek. "Then, did you eat?" She asked after a while. Her mother nodded one after the other."Ma
