"Absolutely not."Aiden stared at Noah."Hindi mo pa nga naririnig.""I read the title."Nasa library sila ng St. Lorenzo matapos ang klase, magkatabi sa isang table sa pinakadulong bahagi.Sa pagitan nila ay isang maliit na notebook.Sa ibabaw ng page, nakasulat:WAYS TO MAKE OUR PARENTS MEETAiden frowned."At least hindi na Operation Mommy and Daddy.""That doesn't make it better.""It's more specific.""It's evidence.""Of what?"Noah looked at him."Premeditation."Aiden sighed."You're impossible."...Kinuha ni Noah ang notebook at binasa ang listahan.1. School meetings.2. Projects.3. Pickup.4. Lunch.5. Emergency—Noah crossed out number five.Aiden looked offended."I wasn't finished.""You don't need to be.""I was going to write emergency contact.""No, you weren't."Aiden fell silent.Noah stared at him."Exactly."He crossed out another item.6. Pretend one of us forgot something."Aiden.""What?""No lying.""I was brainstorming.""Brainstorm honestly.""That's limit

Halos tapos na ang miniature bridge sa harap nila.Para sa parent-student activity, binigyan ang bawat group ng magkakaparehong wooden sticks, connectors, at maliit na platform. Kailangan nilang makabuo ng tulay na kayang tumayo nang walang suporta at makapasan ng itinakdang bigat sa gitna.Si Noah ang gumawa ng measurements at design, habang si Aiden ang nag-assemble ng karamihan sa pieces. Sina Serenity at Emrys naman ang humahawak sa magkabilang dulo habang ikinakabit ang huling bahagi."Don't move," sabi ni Aiden habang maingat na ipinapasok ang final connector sa gitna."I'm not moving," sagot ni Emrys."Your side is leaning.""Because you're pushing the center.""I am not."Tiningnan ni Noah ang bridge."Both of you, stop."Napatingin si Serenity sa anak."Whose side are you on?""The bridge's."Aiden nodded."Good answer."Emrys sighed."Can we finish this?""Hold it steady," sabi ni Noah.Hinawakan nang maayos ni Serenity ang isang dulo habang inayos ni Emrys ang kabilang side

"Who received the money?"Iyon agad ang tanong ni Emrys nang pumasok si Adrian sa office kinabukasan.Walang greeting.Walang ibang usapan.Inaasahan na iyon ni Adrian.He placed a folder on the desk."I traced the account."Emrys looked up."And?""The compensation never went to Serenity Heavenwood."Tahimik ang naging sagot, pero sapat iyon para tumigas ang expression ni Emrys."Whose account?""An intermediary account.""Name."Adrian opened the folder."The account was created shortly before the transfer. The registered owner was a woman named Helena Cruz.""Who is she?""On paper? A private consultant.""And in reality?""I haven't confirmed that yet."Emrys' eyes cooled."Then keep going.""I already am."Adrian slid another document toward him."But the money didn't stay there."Emrys looked down.Within days, most of it had been moved again.Several transfers.Different accounts.Smaller amounts.Someone had deliberately made the trail harder to follow."Someone cleaned it.""

Maaga pa nang dumating ang mga bus ng St. Lorenzo sa nature and science facility.Halos dalawang oras ang biyahe mula Manila, kaya pagdating nila ay mas excited pa ang mga bata kaysa pagod.Malawak ang lugar.Napapalibutan iyon ng mga puno at mabababang burol. Nasa gitna ang main lodge, habang nakahiwalay ang science building, observatory, activity grounds, at ilang cabins para sa overnight stay.Mas malayo sa main facilities ang ilang lumang maintenance buildings na hindi kasama sa student areas.Pagkababa ni Noah sa bus, agad siyang lumingon kay Serenity."Mommy.""I'm here."Serenity adjusted the strap of her bag.Sa kabilang bus naman bumaba si Aiden.Kasunod nito si Emrys.Nang makita ni Aiden si Noah, mabilis itong lumapit."We survived."Noah frowned."It was a two-hour bus ride.""Exactly.""You slept most of the way.""That's how I survived."Noah sighed....Sumunod ang registration at room assignments.Dahil bata pa ang participants, magkakalapit ang rooms ng students at gu

"Which building?"Napatingin ang staff member sa labas."Yung old equipment storage po, ma'am. Sa dulo ng maintenance area.""Why is he still there?""I thought sumunod na po siya sa akin. Tinawag ako sa radio kaya lumabas ako saglit—"Serenity grabbed her jacket."Show me.""Ma'am, malakas pa po ang ulan.""Then get an umbrella."Hindi na siya naghintay ng sagot."Auntie Serenity?"Napalingon siya kay Aiden.Nakatayo ang bata sa pintuan kasama si Noah.For the first time that night, wala itong usual na ngiti."Is Dad okay?"Serenity's expression softened."We're going to get him.""I'll come.""No.""But—""Aiden."Lumapit si Serenity at yumuko sa harap niya."Stay here with Noah."Aiden's lips tightened."But he's my dad.""I know."Serenity held his gaze."That's why I'm bringing him back."Tahimik na tumingin sa kanya si Aiden.Then he nodded.Serenity stood."Lock the door. Don't leave unless I come back or a staff member tells you it's safe."Noah nodded."We won't."Serenity tu
