"TELL me the full details, Iñigo."
Tumango ito at tiningnan ang notepad niya. "According to what he said, he'll testify on behalf of Ms. Manzana. You will be meeting him tomorrow in Bitterscape Cafe."
Tumango naman ako at pumasok ng opisina ko nagsimula na kong mag-ayos ng ilang mga files.
"Iñigo, pakitawag sila Paralegal Centeno at Investigator Lozaro."
Agad naman niyang sinunod ang utos ko. Nagtanggal ako ng contacts at pinalitan 'yon ng glasses. Inayos ko na rin 'yung file na kinailangan ko nang bumukas ang pinto ng kwarto ko at iniluwal no'n si Attorney Claverio.

Wanna try me?"] Agad na nanginig katawan ko, kadiri. "Just tell me when are you free?" ["Oh, I can talk now."] "What are you doing?"

["My own will."] "You nuts? What do you think you are doing??"

Sumakay ako ng kotse at nag-drive paalis ng building para pumunta sa Bitterscape Cafe. Ilang saglit lang akong nagmaneho papunta ro'n, ngayon ay papasok na ko sa loob.
