Under Arrest.

        ***

  Ivy Vargaz.

"Sigurado ka ba, SPO1 Vargaz na gusto mong sumama sa raid na gagawin namin? Kakarating mo lang dito one week ago." tanong ni Police Inspector Gonzaga; isa sa mga superior ko rito sa Negros Oriental.

"Yes, Sir. Sigurado po ako. Kaya ko po." panigurado ko. 

Kahit kakarating ko lang last week at sinabing magpahinga muna ako ng ilang araw, tumanggi pa rin ako dahil exciting itong raid na gagawin ng bago kong team ngayon. Hindi ko palalampasin ang ganitong klaseng pagkakataon na maka-raid kami ng isang illegal strip club. Na-miss ko ang ganitong klaseng raid. Matagal-tagal na rin mula nang gawin ko ang ganitong trabaho.

PLT Gonzaga shrugged his shoulders and he continued to discuss the raid na gagawin namin ngayon.

"SPO2 Cuevas, sumama ka sa amin sa pagpasok dito sa fire exit at ikaw naman, SPO1 Vargaz mag-u-undercover ka, magpapanggap kang strip dancer at ang magiging partner mo rito ay si--" Napatingin si PLT Gonzaga sa may pinto nang may pumasok.

"Oh, ayan na pala ang partner mo, Vargaz." Turo n'ya sa likuran ko. 

Kunot noo naman akong lumingon, only to be greeted by Geoff's smug grin.

My heart leaps upon seeing him here. Malakas na tinapik ko ang kaniyang balikat. "Geoff! Anong ginagawa mo rito?"

Tumabi s'ya sa akin at ngumisi. "Hindi ba may promise tayo na sabay tayo sa lahat ng bagay? Walang iwanan, 'di ba? Unlike you, hindi ako nang-iiwan." wika nito na halatang kinokonsensya ako ng gago.

Umismid na lang ako at pinili na lang na manahimik. This is Geoff Salvatore; ang makulit na makulit kong kababata since diaper days. Mag-mula pagkabata ay magkasama na kami nito sa lahat ng bagay. At nang mag-college kami, sabay kaming pumasok sa PNPA at sabay din kaming nag-graduate na top sa aming class. At sabay din kaming pumasok sa CIDG then lastly SAF. 

Parang kambal lang 'di ba? Inaakala nga ng ibang tao na magkasintahan kami. But nah, Geoff is more like a brother to me than a best friend.

"Anyway, team! Heto nga pala si PO3 Geoff Salvatore, galing s'ya sa Sta. Rosa Laguna, kagaya ni SPO1 Ivy Vargaz. At nandito sila para tulungan tayo sa ating gagawing raid. These two are a match make in heaven, meaning, natatagumpayan nila ang lahat ng undercover na ginagawa nila. Kaya naman, Vargaz at Salvatore, watch each others' back. Don't fall to any women there, dahil ayon sa lead namin, maraming magagandang mga babae roon, huwag kayong papahulog sa kanilang aking alindog, remember our mission, huliin n'yo lahat ng mga makikita ninyong gumagawa ng kababalaghan." PLT Gonzaga smiled in excitement as he gave us a look.

Napaismid ako ng mahinang tawa at palihim na tinignan si Geoff. 

"Ligtas ka na, bakla." I mouthed at him. And I can't help but to let out a tiny chuckle when Geoff show me his middle finger.

"Okay, team, maghanda na tayo. Spartan?!" PLT Gonzaga shouted, raising his hand in the air.

"Awo, Awo, Awo!" We all chanted in unison as we raised our hand in the air.

Palihim kaming nagkatinginan ni Geoff. He smirk while wiggling his eyebrow lightly.

"Are you ready for this?" He asked, smirk still playing on his red lips.

"Ready as ever be." Nakangiting sagot ko.

Okay, it's time for a hunt.

******

"f*****g hell." bulong ko sa aking sarili habang nililibot ng mga mata ko ang buong club.

Pigil na pigil ang aking sarili na huwag mapangiwi nang makakita ng live s*x sa dance floor. Kahit madilim sa paligid, my trained eyes sees everything.

Maingat na hinawakan ko ang maliit na earpeace sa aking kaliwang tenga saka inayos ang aking suot na bikini.

Gosh, here I am, wearing a bikini again.

"Salvatore, are you seeing this?" mahinang tanong ko sa kabilang linya. I then glanced side ways where I caught a familiar blonde hair in the crowd.

Rinig kong tumikhim si Geoff, "Yes. God, this blonde headed one is like a beast. Handa ka na ba sa gagawin mo?"

May narinig akong pag-aalinlangan sa boses ni Geoff. He's worried. And I understand why.

"May dala naman akong maskara. Hindi naman nila makikita ang mukha ko." pag-a-assure ko sa kaniya.

Naglakad na ako sa may pinto kung saan ang entrance ng mga dancers patungo sa stage kung saan may apat na dancing pole at may pula at puting ilaw na umiikot sa paligid ng stage.

"Remember, Ivy, just dance for the crowd. Make them want you and when we're sure about the information, just wait for my signal then don't hesitate to take them down." paalala ni Geoff sa akin. Rinig ko na rin ang musika sa kabilang linya, which means, Geoff is here.

"Take them down means?" I asked, smugly.

I hear the tiny laugh that leaves Geoff's throat. "Just bound them, silly."

"Fine."

"Handa na ba ang handcuff mo?" Geoff asked then I saw a glimpse of him in the crowd.

"Siyempre naman." sagot ko.

Nakasuot si Geoff ng pang bouncer na uniform, all black t-shirt and pants. And with a simple nod from him, I inhale sharply, close my eyes for a second then exhale loudly.

"Here we go." bulong ko sa aking sarili nang nagsignahe na ang floor manager ng club na sumampa na ako sa stage.

"Please welcome, The Wild Flower." pagpapakilala sa akin.

Muntikan na akong matawa nang marinig ang alias na binigay sa akin. Seriously? Wild flower?

Lahat ng mga tao sa crowd ay napatingin lahat sa akin nang maglakad ako sa pole with a seductive sway of my hips. I made sure that I lick my lips seductively when I touch the pole. Kita kong napagaya ang ibang mga tao sa crowd upon doing that. Napatigil din ang nakita kong nag-li-live s*x kanina para panoorin ako sa aking ginagawa.

I smirked inwardly. This is so easy. Wala bang mahirap?

I sway my hips as I bend my back then straddle the pole with my one leg.

"Keep dancing, Ivy. Malapit na sina PLT. Konti na lang." rinig kong wika ni Geoff.

Tinapunan ko lang s'ya ng tingin at nagpatuloy sa aking ginagawa.

"Whoa! Great dance, isn't it? Who wants to take her out?" tanong ng announcer sa paligid.

I was taken aback upon hearing that. I didn't know that there's something like that here.

But then, my lips form into a smirk. May mali nga sa club na ito. This isn't a normal strip club.

"I call dibs on her." sambit ng isang babaeng may ala mais na buhok. She even raised her hand with money in it. Lots of money I might add.

Nang dahil sa pagsasayaw ko, hindi ko na masyadong kita ang mukha nang babaeng may katabi pang dalawang babae sa couch kaharap ang stage for the dancers. Sila iyong nakita kong nag-li-live show kanina.

Oh God.

"How much?" she asked with full of pride and ego.

Hanggang dito nararamdaman ko ang hanging hatid n'ya, gosh.

Fucking rich people who think they can buy anyone with their filthy money.

"One hundred thousand pesos for one night with the Wild Flower." sagot ng announcer, which you can't see anywhere in the club.

My smirk only grew wider.

Wow, hindi ko naman alam na gano'n pala ang worth ko for one night. Well, not bad. Maybe I should consider being a stripper.

"Wow, Ivy, ayaw mo bang mag-stripper na lang? Ang laki ng worth mo ah?" Geoff asked playfully. I can see him shaking his head.

"Sold!" Sigaw nang babae sa harapan.

Hindi na ako naghintay ng signal mula sa floor manager, I just walked to her direction with a smirk still plastered in my mouth.

Nang makarating ako sa harapan n'ya, walang pakundangan akong umupo sa lap n'ya.

"Whoa, you're fast baby. I like it." she whispered then nibbled my ear with her teeth.

I flinched upon feeling her hot breath into my ear. For a second there, I was caught off guard.

I frowned for a split second. Mabuti na lang may suot akong maskara at medyo madilim sa paligid kaya hindi n'ya kita ang reaksyon ko.

Mabilis na tinanggal ko sa isip ko ang kaguluhan ng isip ko at nag-focus na lang muna sa ginagawa ko.

I put back my smirk then I reached for her hand and guided them onto my butt.

Nakangiti lang siya ng nakakaloko sa akin the whole time I was dancing on her lap. At mas lalo pang lumawak ang ngisi n'ya nang bigla niyang sakupin ang mga labi ko.

This isn't the first time that someone kissed me while on a mission. Sanay na ako sa mga ganito, so I played her games better than she think.

I close my eyes then push my tongue into her hot and minty mouth then swirl my tongue with her tongue and we both fight for dominance. It happens so quick, like lightning in the night sky. And it also happens so quick when I bound her hand on her back with my handcuff then my mouth formed into a victorious smirk.

I heard her gasp into my mouth when she felt my handcuff on her hand.

Humiwalay ako sa halikan namin saka s'ya inalayan ng nakakalokong ngisi sa labi. "You are under arrest."

******

     Under Arrest.

             ***

Arabella Martinelli.

"You are under arrest."

My mouth left hanging opened when I heard that. 

Isang malaking f**k! This can't be happening! 

Then in just a few seconds, the whole club is surrounded by a lot of men in uniform. Isang malaking f**k ulit. s**t! I can't go to jail again.

The club's music stopped and screams of women are heard around the place. And I? I just felt the girl on my lap stand up then force me to stand-up.

"Oh, huliin n'yo na pati 'to." Turo n'ya sa akin sa isang pulis na nakapang-bouncer na uniform.

"Teka, teka!" Sigaw ko saka pilit na inaalis ang kamay ng lalaking pulis sa akin.

I glared at him and I was going to protest when the girl on my lap earlier removed her mask.

Ang inis ko ay napalitan ng ngisi nang makita ang magandang mukha n'ya.

Nang hawakan akong muli nang lalaki na tinuro niyang hulian ako, I wiggle from his grasp.

"Don't touch me. I'll sue you if you ever touch my hand again," I said with a smirk, still eyeing the girl in front of me.

Hindi n'ya ako pinapansin, bagkus parang wala siyang pakialam sa mundong kinuha ang damit na inabot sa kaniya ng pulis na humawak sa akin kanina saka iyon sinuot. Isa iyong black na coat na sumadsad hanggang tuhod nito.

"I want her instead to shove me inside the car." nakakalokong sabi ko. Binasa ko pa ang labi ko for her to see but just like earlier, deadma pa rin ako sa kaniya.

Whoa, hard to get huh? I love it! Challenging.

Kita kong tinaasan ako ng kilay nang lalaking pulis na naka-bouncer uniform.

"Wala kang karapatan mag-demand ng kung ano. Hala sige! Lakad na!" Sigaw n'ya saka n'ya ako tinulak patungo sa isang police car.

Hindi na ako naglaban pa at hinayaan na lang sila sa kanilang gusto. Not that I care. I can get out from this mess in just one phone call.

I nonchalantly shrugged my shoulders then rest my head besides the window of the car. One police officer sat besides me pero hindi ko na lang siya binigyan ng kahit anong pansin. I'm tired and drunk and happy all at once to even pay him any attention.

I have all the time to scream at their face tomorrow. Since wala akong chance na maka-uwi, paniguradong sa presinto na ako magpapalipas ng gabi.

I shrugged and let the sleep succumb me.

Parang kakatulog ko pa lang nang may marinig akong malakas na kabog ng lamesa kaya naman napalundag ako sa gulat and the first thing I did is to look around my surroundings.

"Rise and shine, Miss Martinelli." sambit ng isang lalaking pulis na nasa harapan ko ngayon.

When my eyes landed on him, parang nag-apoy ang mga mata ko nang maalala ko s'ya.

This was the same guy who forced and shoved me inside the police car last night.

"You know me?" I asked in a low raspy voice.

Tumango-tango s'ya, "I do, I think everybody knows you. And--"

"And I know my rights and I have the right to talk to my lawyer and have her to present with me while I'm being questioned." I said,  waving him off. I don't want to waste my time talking to this brute.

"Wow! Good morning, The Wild Flower." pabirong sabi ng kaharapan kong pulis sa likuran ko.

I turned around almost immediately toward the door of the precinct and right there, I saw her again.

Kita mo nga naman, kung sinuswerte ka nga naman oh.

Ang lawak na tuloy ng ngiti ko.

"Hey, sayang!" Sigaw ko sa kaniya, clearly getting her attention. I even waved my still bound hand with a f*****g handcuff for her to know that I'm actually talking to her.

Kinunutan n'ya ako ng noo saka s'ya lumapit sa gawi ko. Ang lawak ng ngiti ko habang pinagmamasdan siyang lumalapit sa akin.

"Yes, it's about time, sayang." I said gingerly then bit my lower lip when she stopped beside me but only to fist bump with the police officer in front of me.

Napalabi ako ng wala sa oras. Akala ko pa naman ako ang nilapitan n'ya. f**k. Talk about kahihiyan.

But nevertheless, I still gave her a wide smile while she's talking to this brute in front of me.

Nakatingin lang ako sa kaniya at kasalukuyan kong in-e-enjoy ang mabangong amoy n'ya nang may dumapong stapler sa kamay kong nasa ibabaw ng lamesa.

Napalundag ako sa gulat at sakit. "Ouch! f*****g s**t! Ano bang problema mo?" Sigaw ko sa pulis na nasa harapan ko.

Napatingin lahat ng tao sa loob ng presinto sa akin. But I didn't payed them any mind, bagkus ay pinukulan ko lang nang masamang tingin ang buwisit na lalaking pulis na 'to.

"Ay pasensya na. Hindi ko nakita ang kamay mo, natatabunan kasi ng mga papeles eh." palusot pa ng gago.

Mas lalo ko lang siyang pinukulan ng masamang tingin nang makita kong ngumisi pa s'ya sa akin.

I took a long sighed as I rolled my eyes at him. Sinundan ko na lang ng tingin ang babaeng tinawag nilang 'The Wild Flower' kagabi at kanina.

That girl I kissed in the club last night.

Oh, gosh, just by looking at her right now, I could still taste her delicious lips on mine.

"Alam mo kung hindi ka lang maganda, aakalain kong isa kang rapist. Kanina ka pa nakatingin ng malagkit sa partner ko na parang gusto mo siyang kainin." sambit ni brute.

I slowly turn my eyes at him. My blue eyes are surely in a shade of fire blue.

"What did you just say to me?" I asked, acidly.

Sinukat n'ya ang tingin ko, his eyes show no fear. At bago pa kung anong masamang mangyari dito, Zell finally showed up with a worried look on his handsome face.

"Arabella! What the hell? You got arrested again? Pang-apat mo na 'to ngayong buwan pa lang ha? Hindi ka ba talaga titino? Pasalamat ka talaga at wala kang concert or gig kundi ay naku ewan ko na lang." sunod-sunod na sermon ni father the saint sa akin.

Tiwanan ko lang s'ya habang umuusok ang ilong n'ya.

That's right, I got arrested four times already within a week pa lang iyon ha? Well, what can I do if akala ng lahat na may ginagawa akong masama sa iba't ibang club and bar dito sa Negros? I was just having fun with different kind of girls every freaking day and night, masama ba 'yon? Eh sa gusto rin naman nila ang ginagawa ko sa kanila. Gosh.

"And then you still have the guts to laugh. Wow, Arabella." Malakas na bumuga nang malalim na hininga si Zell sabay hilot sa kaniyang sentido.

"Anyway, parating n--"

"Wait, hold your banana. Who are you? Lawyer ka ba n'ya?" tanong ni brute habang nagpalipat-lipat ng tingin sa aming dalawa ni Zell.

Zell didn't give him any attention. He just raised his hand in the air to signal him to shut up.

"Parating na ang lawyer na pinadala sa 'yo ni Contessa. By the way, she sent her regards."

I let out a silent f**k under my breath. 

"Fine, can you calm your balls now? You're making a scene already. Geez." I said with an eye roll.

Zell did calm down and sat beside me but when I catched the hot police woman looking at our direction, I smirked when she immediately look away when I caught her looking at me.

May naglalarong ngisi sa labing hinila ko ang tenga ni Zell palapit sa akin, "If I got questioned later, I want her to question me instead." 

Tinignan n'ya kung saan ako nakaturo and gave me a simple nod which made me happy inside.

When my lawyer showed up after few minutes of waiting, Zell did it. Si hot police woman na ang nasa harapan ko ngayon.

I was grinning from ear to ear while she's talking with my lawyer. Panaka-naka niya akong tinatapunan ng tingin at halata ang pagka-ilang nito sa akin which just made my smile even more wider.

Now, now, she can't ignore me.

"Why did you leave so sudden when I first met you? Miss?" I asked then ran my eyes toward her name plate on her table.

"SPO1 Ivy Vargaz." Wow, nice name. Her name sounds so ravishing. Fuckable even.

Na-i-imagine ko na tuloy sa aking isipan kung paano ko i-u-ungol ang kaniyang pangalan kapag nasa kama na kami.

Natigilan silang dalawa ng lawyer ko. Ivy looked at me with the biggest frown in the world, while my lawyer just eyed me curiously.

I shrugged my shoulder nonchalantly, "I know her and she knows me." I grinned when she flinched in her seat.

"No, I don't know you." mabilis na sagot n'ya sabay iling pa ng kaniyang ulo.

"Yes, you do." kulit ko pa.

"Nope."

"Yes."

"No."

"Oh! Yes!" Malakas na ungol ko dahilan para mapatingin lahat ng pulis sa akin. Including her. 

My, my, your attention is on me now huh. I love it.

"Can you stop that? Baka nakakalimutan mong nasa police station ka?" She hissed. Namumula na ngayon ang mukha n'ya sa inis.

Pero imbes na matakot ako, tinawanan ko pa s'ya. 

I'm gonna push you to your limits, sayang.

"Do you want me to stop?" I asked, mockingly.

She raised her eyebrow. Damn! Hot!

"Make me stop then," hamon ko pa.

Based on her composure, she's biting my bait. And I enjoy every second of it.

"Oh, I will. That's a promise." determinadong sambit n'ya with those intense amber eyes.

I sharpened my eyes, "Then prove it. Let's date."

She let out a mocking laugh. "In your dreams, Miss Martinelli."

I smirked, "Huwag mo na akong tawaging Miss Martinelli. Sayang na lang, indonesian for baby." I said as I wiggle my eyebrows playfully.

Pinaningkitan n'ya ako ng mata. "Sorry pero hindi ako indonesian," she said then pulled my hand forcefully and unlocked the handcuff in my hand.

Nakangiti lang ako the whole time na tinatanggal n'ya ang handcuff sa kamay ko.

She then glanced at my lawyer beside me, "Miss Leroy, please escort your client away from here. We get what we want to know. She's free. So, please kindly leave before I get my gun and fire it in her face."

I chuckle at her remark. Gosh! She's so much fun! I'm sure. I'm gonna enjoy her.

Tumayo na kami ng lawyer ko and she's practically dragging me away from the precinct but before I even took my exit, hinarap kong muli si Ivy.

"May we meet again, sayang." mapaglarong sambit ko saka malanding sumaludo sa kaniya.

She let out an 'Ugh' sound then rolled her eyes with such annoyance.

"May we not." sagot pa n'ya.

I smirked. 

Oh we will meet again, sayang. I'll make sure of that. I won't let you slip again.
