she's crying so hard.
hindi niya alam kung ilang oras siyang naglakad at nang may makitang tao ay nanghiram siya ng pantawag, she lost her phone. People rejected dahil sa mukha niya na pawisan at madugis na suot na damit. Magulo din ang naninigas na buhok dahil sa usok ng mga sasakyan.
nang may nahiraman siya ay tinawagan niya kaagad ang kaibigan dahil ito lang numero na memoryado niya maliban kay Weltry. Mabilis siya nitong sinundo kung nasaan siya

"kailangan mapakulong ang nagtangkang gumahasa sa kanya" madiin na sabi niya
"We don't have evidences Babe, we don't who's that man and there's no CCTV on that area"
"Eh, nabugbog mo naman yun kaya may ebidensya tayo. At saka hindi maaring walang CCTV doom" pagpupumilit niya
"it's dark and the place is hidden"
