VANCE.

"YOU CAN'T change my mind. It's not gonna happen, Atalia," a woman with a natural curly black hair said.

Her brown almond eyes are logy. Halatang nabitin ang tulog niya nang pinatawag sila ni Atalia.

Matapos ang biglaang alarm sa buong silid. Iniwan ako ng kasama ko at pagbalik niya, kasama niya na ang ibang preso rito sa C.I.U.

Hindi ko alam kung anong pumasok sa kokote ng babaeng 'to at naisipan niya kaming kausapin nang sama-sama.

At ayan nga, isa kaagad ang umaapila.

"Why would I waste my time and energy just for a bunch of douchebags?" the woman spoke once again, she then, yawned.

"Olivia Colt!" dumagundong ang boses ni Atalia sa silid.

"I won't tolerate that kind of language in my premises," mariin niyang saad habang matalim na nakatingin sa babaeng kausap.

The woman just shrugged her shoulders and didn't even say sorry. Atalia ignored her behavior. Malala na 'yong babaeng 'yon. Pati sa mas matanda sa kanya walang respeto.

"Again, prisoners." Atalia faced us. "I will send you on a mission," she said.

This will be my perfect chance to escape. I immediately agreed to her after she announced it to us few minutes ago.

The grand explosion happened in National Prison Camp is not a joke for them. They must do something to retrieve those prisoners who has escaped.

Atalia explained to us that our first mission is to retrieve the prisoners. Secondly, we need to find out who's the culprit behind it. Lastly, we must surrender the culprit to her, whoever it is.

At first I was hesitant. Syempre, hindi naman ako member ng Avengers para makipagharap sa unidentified culprit na nagpasabog sa Prison Camp. Ayoko rin i-risk ang buhay ko 'no.

"Gaya nga nang sinabi ko sa inyo kanina, we already tracked down their location," Atalia explained.

Pinaliwanag sa 'min ni Atalia na ang mga preso sa Prison Camp ay may tracker sa loob ng katawan nila. Kaya gano'n na lang nila kabilis nalaman ang kinaroroonan ng mga preso na nakatakas.

"Past nine kanina naganap ang pagsabog. Walang duda na may naganap na inside job," dagdag pa niya.

This is my chance.

Pero kung walang sasama, at hindi sila papayag sa utos ni Atalia, hindi na rin ako pupunta. Gaya nga nang sabi ni Colt, sayang sa energy.

Did I just agreed with her? Hell no!

Nabaling ang tingin namin sa gawi ni Ryde nang magtaas siya ng kanang kamay. Kanina pa siya tahimik gaya ko. Nakaupo siya sa puting monobloc sa tapat ng pwesto ko.

"What is it, Harrison?" Atalia queried.

Ryde put down his hand and crossed them against his chest. He took a deep breath before he speak.

"Your mission. . ." he uttered and stopped for about seconds, "That's absurd."

Atalia gave him a perplexed look. "You are literally have no choice Mister Harrison, whether you like it or not," she said, sharply looking at his eyes intently.
