Mission Aborted

Taft Avenue hummed of silence
while J. Nakpil was being patrolled
by a lone mobile police unit.

He found himself scurrying
along the empty street
of Remedios. He turned right
towards a queer corner where the
infamous E stands proudly amongst the sleeping
row of apartments in that lane.

Just outside the entrance, three men were chatting.
His presence distracted one of the gentleman
and he took a long glance at the passing rookie.
The rookie asserts his control and avoided
a response from the aggressive gentleman.
Probably the guy is not his type. That's why he never showed
any motive or interest towards this person who now staring at him.

Reaching a flight of stairs
and into the reception area,
he heard several men
belting a song played
at the videoke bar.
"Divas on the loose,"
he told himself.
"He will not like what
he will see inside."
the rookie murmured.

Nevertheless, his objectives have already been set.
It was to explore the promiscuous place
and unleash his hidden demons demanding
to be set free. True to his Sagittaron heritage,
these creatures he keep remains wild and free.
It is his nature. He cannot deny anymore their
raging existence.

Without anyone to control him,
he was willing to take the plunge.
Even if at the back of his mind,
danger and humiliation were everywhere.

Police raids...
Being discovered by someone he doesn't want his identity revealed...
Being rejected by a person he considers his ultimate trip...

The dice being casted
And his fate already sealed
The attack is very imminent.

However, a split-second before he
was able to give the P300 peso entrance
payment to the male receptionist,

His phone rang a familiar message received tune.

"kol ka po," the message said.

Someone held him at gunpoint.
His inner demons unable to move.

As quick as he was able to muster a force
to enter a place he wasn't prepared to raid,
a last-minute phone call enabled his better angel
to abort the attack.

In the face of a strong tactical intervention,
even the possessed must relinquish the control
back to his normal, domesticated self.

Darkstar: Too bad kid, aborted plans tonight. Next time maybe?

Kitsune: Damn, I'm already prepared to have a fuck.

Mugen: Phew, that's strange. Maybe he felt your move guys.

Pulsar: Yeah he did. Now, back off Kitsune. Darkstar balik mo na ang control kay Mugen.
