The Present, Page 1

2016. 

Police Officer 4 Santos Madrigal thoroughly inspected and wiped the dust from his beloved gun, a.k.a "Wifey". 

He heard a knock. "Hey Santos. Wanna have some lunch?"

"Yeah."

Santos hid Wifey in the only place he knew and had lunch. 

It was scorching hot as he mused how he was "stuck". Ten years in service and he was still stuck as serving as an Intelligence Officer. Not that it was bad. It was Santos' dream job. It constantly reminded him of the stranger he saved several years ago. 

The stranger, too, had been an Intelligence Officer. Somehow, the wounded man had inspired him to pursue his dream as a Police... That man had also inspired her. Yet fate had torn them apart. 

He shook his head. Ah, come on, Santos! Now's not the time to be daydreaming of her. 

His friend looked at him and gave him a strange look. "Hey, have you heard? Someone new will be assigned here in our Division."

"I thought those guys at the Human Resource are the only ones who're supposed to know that."

His friend grinned. "Well, I have my sources."

"Spill it." Santos said. 

"Every heard of Police Senior Inspector Gabrielle De Guzman? I heard she's going to be reassigned here any time now."

Gabrielle De Guzman. Now that was a name Santos hadn't hear
