Brenda: Gusto ko mag aral yun singing. Alam ko si Erich lang ang pwede mag turoan yan sakin.
Denise: May singer naman dito eh.
Brenda: Sino?

Brenda: Talaga? Gaano ka natagal kumanta?
Sarah: Nung five years old pa ako.
Jamilla: Wow. Kasali kaba sa isang banda?
Sarah: Hindi. Ng solo lang ako sa mga concerts.
Koji: Daaaym…
Nina: How awesome! You should invite us to your upcoming concerts one of these days!
Brenda: Yeah! I mean, dati hindi ako masyado mahilig sa mga kantahan, pero ngayon gusto ko talaga maging singer katulad mo.
Sarah: (laughing as she grins) Mukhang desperado ka para dyan. Alam mo, madali yan mag turo kasi boces lang ang kailangan mo.
Brenda: (nodding) Alam ko.

Koji: Yeah.
Sarah: Ang kulit niyo lahat. Maj, alam ko marunong ka kumanta. Ewan ko kung bakit kailangan ka sumali sa biro nayan.
Maja: Naku sorry na rin. Corny talaga ako eh.
Brenda: Marunong rin kumanta si Maja?
Maja: Oo.
Nina: Eh sino naman tinuruan sa yo kumanta?

Narrator: Meanwhile at the streets, after an easy dodge around the fire, I was still driving at a rapid speed. Then, as I looked ahead with my bare eyes, I noticed the warehouse building.
A minute or two later, I finally arrived at the fence where Spider’s car was parked. Yes, indeed I saw it, but I parked five feet behind it.
*
Inside where Erich was located, the detonator timer ran down to 1:23 left.
As for me, I stood at the fence looking through the warehouse for an opening.
Erich was in deep worry. The clock already went down to 1:14.
Once I found the opening, I quickly headed through the fence, rushing toward the building.
*
Inside a small room in the warehouse, Spider and his gang were at a table playing poker with a pile of blue and red chips, some already scattered on the table. They were throwing their own cards there, sharing their joy of laughter with one another.
Jeeva: Ey Spida! Gimme three, man!
Spider: Bitch ya crazy? Ya get ya own full house, that’s what!
Nix: Yo, ‘fore you bitches start yappin’, beat this! (throws down a straight flush that contained cards 4 through 8, all in a diamond suit)
Narrator: Lagga and Jeeva reacted with their “Ohhh’s!” Spider shook his head.
Spider: Doesn’t mean ya’d already win widat muthafucka.
Nix: Aww don’ be jealous, foo. Everyone has their luck bein’ gangsta, that’s all.
Lagga: Yeah.
Spider: Yeh, we still rule this muthafuckin’ world!
Jeeva: Fuck yeah!
*
Narrator: Once I reached the opening, I stopped, making sure no one was inside. I got in.
