"Stop dragging me!" I exclaimed loudly when I felt pain.

"Magnanakaw ka kasi kaya dapat lang sa'yo tinutulak!" Jellie even hissed and I sighed loudly, irritated.

I was just looking and enjoying window shopping for that damn jewelries and this is where it'll take me? Damn it!

I glanced at Jiggy and saw him busy contacting someone and it irritates me a lot, knowing that I am a long-time customer in their store and he can't even vouch for me!

Kinalma ko ang sarili para hindi magwala sa galit pero hindi na ako nakapagpigil nang makita kung saan nila ako dinala.

"Are you fucking serious?!" I exclaimed loudly, pilit na kumawala pero mas hinigpitan ng guard ang hawak sa braso ko at halos itulak na ako. "Jiggy?!" I glanced at my "friend" who only looked away, as if judging me.

"Is this freaking serious?" I whispered irritatedly. "This is against my rights, you know?" I tried reasoning out pero bingi sila para pakinggan ako.

"And why am I in a precinct? Can't we settle this on your shop? Wala ba kayong CCTV?!" Iritadong sabi ko na pero napailing lang sa akin si Jiggy.

I closed my eyes tightly, I saw how Jellie followed us again with Samantha. The audacity of these bitches?

I can see their smirks and it irritates the hell out of me. Halos matapilok pa ako habang papaakyat sa may hagdan patungo sa may pintuan at kahit napadaing na ay wala silang paki.

I was embarrassed for myself, thinking I worked in this precinct for months and now, I am here...bilang magnanakaw.

I am so frustrated I felt like crying but I don't like them to see me like this...lalo na sina Sam na wala atang hinihiling kung hindi ang kamiserablehan ng kapwa nila.

I immediately saw how Carol stopped on her steps when she saw me being dragged inside the precinct, her forehead creased, mukhang nagtataka noong una.

"Hala, Ma'am Crest?!" I heard one of the policeman called.

"Oh, you knew her?" Jellie answered. "She's here for theft, million dollar jewelry."

"I didn't!" I exclaimed loudly but no one listened, nakita ko ang pagtataka sa ibang pulis na naroon pero si Carol ay pumormal ng tayo at kaagad na ngumiti.

"Oh, theft?" I can sense the hidden mockery on her voice and to my disappointment, Jiggy nodded. "Oh, that's good. This way." Carol smiled sweetly, glancing at me sideways bago nauna pa sa paglalakad sa amin.

"Ano ba? It hurts!" I hissed but the guard's grip didn't loosen even a little bit.

Carol pointed an empty chair in front of the desk and I was dragged there, forcefully making me sit on the damn chair.

"Fuck..." I cursed silently when my waist bumped the chair, napapikit ako ng mariin at napasinghap sa kanila.

I heard a familiar laugh, sa paglingon ko ay nakita ko sina Adam, Brent at Earn na magkakasama, may pinagkekwentuhan at sa hiya ko ay mabilis kong iniwas ang tingin at nagbaba ng ulo.

"Oh, boys! Here you are! Come here!" Carol called and I almost cursed, gusto kong tumayo at sabunutan siya para manahimik but I was too late, pumunta na ang tatlo roon at nakita na ako.

"Madame?" I heard Earn gasped.

"Hala, Mama?!" Adam and Brent exclaimed in shock and I lifted my head and smiled nonchalantly at them.

"I didn't do it." I said and they were all shock.

"Oh, she did, right?" Carol glanced at the people behind.
