The Pretender

Yves

"Hey, Mister. Did you watch Money Heist?"

I asked while yawning. Halata namang nagulat sila, then suddenly I saw myself in the middle of the officers pointing a gun to me. Opps, did I really make things bad? I laugh to ease the tension, but looks like they more aggressive.

"Yumuko ka at 'wag kikilos nang masama!" I laugh until realization hit me. They will put that shitty handcuff to me, aren't they? Mukhang napa trouble na naman ako, hope our boss forgive me after this. I pull out my gun, at hanggang sa mabilis na makakaya ko I grab someone and I took it as a hostage. Woah! This is easier than I thought.

"Putangna, ang lakas nang loob mong mang hostage nang Pulis?!" Oh? Pulis? She's also a Police? Akala ko nakikidaan lang sa likod ko, I'm wrong again, sorry sa akin. Mahina akong napatawa nang makitang mas maraming Pulis na ang nakatutok sa akin ang baril. Hindi kaya nakakatawag kami ng atensyon? But, on the other side, I love attension! Hahaha!

"Baka naman makatakas 'yung mga magnanakaw kung ako pagtutuonan niyo ng atensyon." I try to convice them, pero mukhang ayaw talaga nila. I rolled ny eyes at kinamot ang baril sa sintido ko. I guess, I'm doomed?

"Hoy, putangna! Baba niyo 'yung baril, pag ako namatay dali kayo kay Elliot!" She exclamed and glared at me, kung tingnan niya ako parang nakikita niya ang mukha ko. As if, I wear a mask. "Can we talk this properly? Then hahayaan ko siyang makaalis." I said while pointing my gun to my hostage. Looks like they all agree kaya binaba nila ang baril nila.

"I asked again, Mister. Did you watch Money Heist?" I asked again, halos lahat sa kanila ay tumango. "Then, don't waste time. Those robbers are fan of Money Heist. I'm sure all of this is inspired by that series. Exiting, right?" I try to calm myself, cause I feel it! My eyes are sparkling not stop. "Tapos ka na? Pakawalan mo na ako!" She exclaimed, napakamot ulit ako sa sintido ay sinabing may isa pa akong problema.

"My apologies, Miss. But I can't do what you say. They command to hostage a Police, and it's exiting work so let me hostage you for awhile." Ani ko at saka hinampas siya nang ulo sa baril. Bago pa maka recover ang mga Pulis kasing bilis ako nang kidlat tumakbo papuntang entrace nang bangko. "Hahaha! Losers!" I said to them.

"Dapat yatang i-recuit ka na namin bata." I pout at tumanggi sa gusto niya. But I like his leadership, he remind me of Berlin in Money Heist. Binigay ko sa kaniya ang babaeng hinampas ko nang baril, mukhang napalakas dahil may dugong lumalabas sa ulo niya. "Detective Destry Ioni Hami?" I look at her I.D, she's a detective from Raven firm? Woah, and she's from Cheif Elliot Erchavez department! Sana oll!

"Don't worry, Erin. Ako nang bahala sa mga hostage." Pag pre presinta ko at tinanggal ang aking mask. Pinagmasdan ko lang ang mga hostage na takot na takot, nakasiksik sila ngayon sa isang malaking kwarto. Those robbers used to call Inferno, a group of intelligent robbers. Sound like Money Heist, but it's real, they really rob the most high security bank of the Philippines, kung saan naka bangko ang pera nang pamahalaan, mga senador, at Presidente. They plan all of this, malinis lahat.

"Mukhang masaya ka? Did you hack the CCTV?" I look at Rian one of the robbers. I follow her in Security and start to hack the CCTV. It's looks fine, within thirty seconds na hack ko na ang CCTV. "Gustong-gusto mo talaga ang costume mong 'yan?" Temis said while looking at me. I laugh and flex her my uniform that same as her. Katulad nang uniforme nila, kulay pink na mukhang belted ang style. Isang straight na polo and pants, looks like I'm in Money Heist.

"My favorite color is pink!" They look disgust to what I said. What? It's bad to be Pink is my favorite color? "Whatever. Pero, mukhang sanay ka mang hack? Dati kang kriminal?" Nanlaki ang mata ko sa tanong nila, I sit beside them and nodded. I'm proud, anyways! In Money Heist, they can't be group without Rio kaya nag presinta ako bilang Rio. And, it's cool and trilling.

"I used to be. I'm hacker and second commander of a group." I said and smirk, those memories again. They look shock, maybe they know that group. My group is an anonymous group, and only criminal known them. Since their crime is not publicized. "And fuck! Hindi pa ba sila magpapadala ng tulong? I starve my self for three days." Pagrereklamo nila. Unlike Money Heist this robbers of mine are amateurs, hindi katulad sa palabas ay perpekto ang plano nila, pero ngayon akala nila perpekto 'rin ang plano nila but they plan is have a lot of loopholes na tanging matatalino nga lang ang makakita, that's the disadvantage. And also, they hostage those people for three days para magpadala nang isang helicopter. Typical robbers wish.

"Hoy! Tangna! Pakawalan mo ako! Hayop hindi marunong sumunod sa usapan." Agad akong lumapit kay Dianna? Devaine? Right, Destry! "Miss Destry! Apologies for the situation I put you, but don't worry I fix this." Nakita ko ang pagtigil niya, I look at her reaction, those eyes parang tinanong kung sino ako. "S-sino ka? Ikaw ba si Alaexander?!" My smile faded when I heard what she said, lumapit ako sa mukha niya at tinitigan siya.

"It's Yves, ma'am." Ani ko at binigay ang isang kamay para makipag shake hands. I laugh when I realize that her hand is tied, sorry sa akin! Haha! Agad kong tinanggal ang tali sa kamay niya, at umupo sa tabi niya.

"Tama ka nga ng sinabi. Mukhang naka costume kayo ng Squid game." I laugh, but it's not funny! This costume is cooler than Squid game! And we have a lot of long rage gun, it's cool!

"Tell the Police na merong daan sa likod na isang tunnel na tatlo lang nagbabantay. They can enter in this bank kung doon sila daan." And that's the loopholes, but disadvantage tho, dahil walang nakakaalam ng daan sa likod ng bangko, kaya hindi alam ng mga pulis kung paano sila makakapasok. "Huh? Traydor ka pala!" Woah, she should be grateful dahil tinutulungan ko siya!

"Ulol, baka patibong 'yan. Bakla ka!" I gasphed hearing those stuff. Baka totohanin ko ang pang ho-hostage sa kaniya! "Just trust with this. I'm already bored walang nangyayari dito." I hissed, I'm also damn bored tatlong araw na'rin akong nandito. At first gusto kong makisama sa pagnanakaw nila kaso bored na ako.

When Miss Destry finally agree. Hinatid ko siya sa daan palabas, saktong ako ang naka assign sa pagbabantay ng tunnel. "Pag ito patibong huntingin ko pamilya mo." What? Sino pang hu-huntingin niya? "I told you, hostage 'rin ako! But, demon gave me a sign para makasali sa laro nila!" She look at me thinking that I'm crazy. Sabagay, sino ba namang hostage ang nakipagkasundo sa mga magnanakaw para makasali siya sa laro, and it's me! I'm cool, right? Hahah!

"Nand'yan na 'daw ung Helicopter!" Seven of the robbers exclaime, looks like they felt the victory in their side. Well, I also jump in exitement, I also waited that helicopter for three days! Lahat ay pumunta na sa rooftop, kahit hindi ako magnanakaw sinama nila ako. Haha! See, I'm already got their trust and attension! Saktong pagakyat namin ay may paparating na helicopter, all of the money na ninakaw nila ay dala-dala nila ngayon. Car is better than helicopter.

"Sama ka sa amin, bata! Kailangan namin ng tulad mo!" Napangiti ako sa sinabi niya, I'm fluttered! But on the other side, I smirk while I stared all of them waiting for my answer.

"I don't think so? Nagbago na ako eh! I'm not criminal anymore." Nakita ko naman na nagkatinginan sila sa sagot ko. Until one of them point me a gun hanggang ang anim ay tinutukan na'rin ako ng baril. Iblis matakot ay hinila ko ang isang upuan at umupo sa harap nila. I raised my arm na may nakalagay na exis na pula, saktong lumiko ang helicopter. Cool right? I draw this letter x in my hand earlier!

"Putangna!" Lahat sila ay nag panic nang makitang lumiko na ang helicopter. Opps, I just raised my arm! Haha! "Anong ginawa mo?!" The leader asked me at tinututok ako ng baril sa sentido ko. Napatawa ako at agad na hinatak ang baril na hawak niya, nagkapalit na kami ngayon ng pwesto. I'm now holding his gun and point it to his temple. Cooler than I thought!

"Ano nga ulit 'yung ayaw ko?" I asked, all of them look at each other malamang alam nila kung ano. I told them two days ago!
"A-ayaw mong tinutukan ka ng baril?" Their leader answered. My laugh echo in rooftop, damn! That was funny! "Yes, so face the consequence." Wika ko at hinampas siya nang malakas sa ulo. Saktong dumating ang mga Pulis para tingnan ang rooftop.

"S-sino ka ba talaga?" Nakamot ako sa ulo ko at nilapitan si Rian, inayos ko ang buhok niya at mahinang tumawa.

"Me? I'm Macedon Yves Calderon." She just look at me, tinaggal ko ang maskara na suot ko at ngumisi. "You want to know my secret?" Napangisi ako nang tumango siya.

"I let you know, if you kiss me."
