"Drink water na, my baby minion." Inabot ko kay Miki 'yong water bottle. Hiningal kasi sa habulan nila ng Ma Mimin niya. 

Tapos na silang maghabulan ni Augustus. Actually, hindi pa nga sila titigil if hindi ko sila sasabihan eh. 

The cutie pouted muna bago niya kunin 'yong water bottle from me. 

"Ma Wiwin, inde nga po ako minion~" She sulked.

She drank the water naman agad before giving the bottle back to me. 

"Tengkyu po." Saad niya habang naka-pout pa rin. 

I smiled before gently pinching her cheeks. Parang stuff toy na dumpling 'yong cheeks niya. Ang sarap kurutin!

"Bleh, minion!" 

"Stop, Augustus." Sinamaan ko ng tingin ang asawa ko. Mang-aasar na naman kasi!

"Sabi ko nga po, titigil na." Bulong niya pero I heard it naman. 

"Augustus, hand me some paper towels." Saad ko which is sinunod naman agad niya. 

"Here, Laloves, oh."

"Thank you, teddy bear."

I folded the paper towels before putting it sa likod ni Miki dahil basa na ito. Mahirap na at baka matuuyan ang bata ng pawis. Kids are so vulnerable pa naman when it comes to their health. Madaling magkasakit. 

"Sit down muna, Miki," I told the kid. Miki obeyed naman with no objections. I then narrowed my eyes at Augustus. "And you, behave rin. If you don't, sa sala ka matutulog mamaya."

Augustus immediately sat beside Miki like a puppy na nagb-behave para mabigyan ng treats. 

The two of them behaved naman. We waited for a while pa before I saw three figures coming towards us. 

I think nakita na rin sila no'ng dalawa kong alaga. Miki stood up with a wide smile plastered on her face. 

"Dandannnn!" Miki delightfully shouted while waving her hands. 

Dandi smiled too as she started to run towards Miki. 

I smiled at the two kids having their mini-reunion. They're so cute! I even heard Augustus chuckling. 

Nang makalapit ang mga magulang ni Dandi, one of them immediately engulfed me in a hug.

"Bakla ka! Na-miss kita!" 

I chuckled. "I missed you too, Vi."

She released the hug, but her hands stayed on my shoulders. 

"Wala pa ring kupas ang ganda mo, Az." Vivian said, smiling fondly at me. 

Napailing ako, smiling. "And here I thought ikaw ang mas maganda sa ating dalawa."

Her eyebrows playfully rose. "Of course, ako pa rin! Ang sabi ko lang, hindi kumupas ang kagandahan mo. I never said na mas maganda ka sa akin."

I rolled my eyes. "As expected."

Natawa siya. "Well, you're sanay naman na."

"Hoy, Empi lights! Tigilan mo nga ako!" 

"Hahaha! Ang mas lalo kang pumangit, Ginebra San Miguel!"

Nagkatinginan kami ni Vi bago umiling dahil sa nagsisipaan at naghahabulan naming mga asawa. Dinaig pa nila 'yong dalawang kids na nakaupo lang ngayon sa swing while talking. 

We sat down muna ni Vi sa bench, watching our beloved alagas. Seriously, we look like yayas dito sa gilid. 

"Hey, Az." I heard Vi called me. I looked at her naman, humming. 

"It's been so long na pala 'no?" 

I looked at the blue sky. She never said it specifically pero alam ko kung ano ang tinutukoy niya. 

Marahan akong ngumiti as I nod, remembering those thrilling moments. 

"Yeah, it is."

"I can still remember that ." Vi muttered, but I heard it pretty well. 

Me too. That bastard. Mabuti nalang, we handled that situation well. 

"This is Agent Ivy with Agent Azul. Where to now, captain?" Vi said through the telecom in her ear. 

I saw her nod. "Copy that." 

"What's next?" I asked, ripping the fake mask that I just wore. It's not just a fake mask, by the way. It's a mask na gayang-gaya ang mukha ng isang tao and us, agents of Twilight Corp, use it as a disguise. 

"Auction. Downtown." Vi answered, walking fast. 

I nodded and we hurried up. I drove the car like we're in a race. Vivi is used to it naman na so there's no problem. 

We got to the venue for exactly ten minutes. Both of us are holding a briefcase as we got out of the car. One TwiCorp agent drove our car papasok sa cruise ship.  

Yes, the auction will be held in a cruise ship. 

As we enter the ship, we went straight to the elevators. 

I saw one guy in a suit, standing and waiting in front the first elevator. His hands showing a peace sign. He's one of our agents. 

I'm sure that Vi saw it too, so we entered elevator two. That agent was supposed to tell what elevator should we be in. 

I scanned the elevator muna for hidden cameras, fortunately, I saw nothing. That agent did his job well done. 

"Time for dress-up." I muttered. 

Both Vi and I quickly opened our briefcases containing the dresses that we should be wearing for tonight's auction. 

Vi wore a tight, red dress, while mine is black. We also wore another fake mask, making our hair colors also change. Vi's original crimson, red hair is now black while my short black hair is now longer and blonde. 

Before the elevator could 'ding', we are already finished. 

Lumabas kami ni Vi ng elevator, heading straight to the main room kung saan gaganapin ang auction.

As we entered the auction room, I smirked, looking at Vi. She mirrored my smirk. 

Both of us walked to our designated table flawlessly and elegant. Kitang-kita ko ang mga mata nilang sinusundan ang bawat galaw namin. I even saw some of those men their lips like a hungry predator. Bastards. 

I kept my cool, not wanting to gouge their eyes that may cause for our mission to fail. 

Vi and I sat down at table number twelve and the auction started not too long. 

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! Tonight, we will start with this ancient Katana found in the depths of Japan's largest forest!"

"The bidding starts now!"

One man raised his hand. "100,000."

Then was followed by a woman. "150,000."

The announcer was about to say something when Vi raised her hand. 

"250,000."

I looked at her while she shrugged at me. 

"What? I can use that. Ipapa-remodel ko nalang kay Jinni."

I rolled my eyes, shaking my head. Umaatake na naman ang pagiging weapon
