On the other hand, in a secret meeting with the intelligence community.

Colonel Sanchez awarded Juan for accomplishments for the capture of 25 persons in the shabu(Methamphetamin)laboratory with more or less 100 kilos of allege shabu. Two policemen were also captured as protectors.

"Juan, We will exit you from the program after your graduation. Just be sure that you will not be compromised, your cover must be intact so that we can arrest the drug lords and your family will not be put in danger." Colonel Sanchez said to him and Mr. Rollo.

Mr. Alex Rollo, President of his own Security and Detection Agency is expanding also as a security service provider. He promoted Juan as the CEO of operations in the whole Philippines. He is already earning ₱50,000 per month basic salary with travel allowances and perks as the second-highest executive of the agency with branches nationwide and 10,000 guards, detection, and special investigation personnel all over the country. His new systems and procedures are well established and implemented with database and processing infrastructure. This is a system being an experiment of Juan and he has plans to make it more powerful and advance in computer and information technology.

"Eagle1, positive, objective1 and objective2 will meet in a restaurant in SM Mall today, the variable is the time, and where specifically will that meeting be is not yet certain." Falcon5 reporting.

"Copy Falcon5, We will send an advance party in the Mall. Thanks," Eagle1.

The guards of the mall were secretly notified with the pictures of the objectives and they can discreetly alarm the system of monitoring agents and the arrest can be done. All restaurants of the mall had now agents posing as customers eating, or having a meeting, etc.

Juan then informed Colonel Sanchez because he was instructed to directly report to him.

They waited for four hours. Juan was studying in the library he is mastering English, History, Psychology, Commercial law aside from the Mechanical Engineering major subjects. This is in preparation for the UP Law aptitude Examination. He is just always in contact with the ground supervisors and the police force to do the arrest. He now also had a connection with the Prosecution to ensure pieces of evidence and procedure will have no technical problems. He just whispers his call through his advanced blue tooth headset.

"Eagle1, confirmed, Objective1 passed the gate to the mall," Falcon20 reported.

"Eagle1, objective2 arrived through gate2 of the mall" Falcon34 reported.

"Eagle1, objective1 entered the Mall, Entrance1" Falcon12

"Eagle1, objective2 entered entrance 3", Falcon9

" Eagle1, they meet in the men's suit section. They are now moving to Cafe Amore".

"This is Eagle1 the objectives are moving towards Cafe Amore, put discreetly all tables with microphones," Juan ordered.

Before Agmad Koh and Michael Sang can enter, the place was discreetly bugged with camera and hearing gadgets that can't be easily detected.

Juan informed the head of the prosecution, Colonel Sanchez, and the PDEA, a joint task force was ready to get pieces of evidence and do the arrest in a safe way.

Agmad Koh and Michael Sang were now in a closed-door conference room of cafe amore, they are also very careful. They ordered some food and the waiter is a lady detective that brought a serving tray and plate with big that their conversation is heard and recorded.

The prosecution had heard enough and have gathered much of what they need, they request for a warrant of arrest, and when the judge issued it. They set up a surprise convoy to arrest them in transit in a safe place to avoid civilian casualties.

After the meeting, the objectives went to their cars and they went separate ways. They are now being monitored, but suddenly there are blocking forces of armed men in a van that fired to the cars where the police and there was a shoot out.

"Send the helicopter for cover, we have a warrant, if they will not surrender, kill them all." Colonel Sanchez ordered the police.

It was a car chase with Agmad Koh. The police were chasing him in a Ford Explorer, They are six in the car, armed with 2 M16 and 4 AK47 assault rifles. A blocking force of a ten-wheeler truck armed with a 60 caliber machine gun covered them as they escape. Four police died in the spot from the machine gun.

Colonel Sanchez ordered a sniper to shoot the Machine gunner. There were 10 men with Ak47 are now shooting from the truck, An army armored vehicle called by Colonel Sanchez for help, destroyed the truck with their grenade launcher and machine gun. The traffic was heavy and civilian cars were burning, and people are running many were dying from the crossfire. Ahmad Koh is now being pursued by two pickup patrol cars with machine guns in the back. The shooting while in the run is heavy. All the cars have bullet holes and have blood from wounds.

The army sends a helicopter and shoots the pick up truck until it burned and explode. The police cars in pursuit stopped and two were dead, and four wounded.

Michael Sang went in the center of the city, he crisscrosses the city streets like crazy, shooting in the air. All the cars went on the side afraid to be a casualty. The police in four cars we're shooting at Michael's Hummer. It is a bullet-resistant vehicle. He is in the direction of going to Tambler. The Tambler police precinct made an instant barricade to control traffic and sandbags in case a shootout will occur. A sniper is positioned in the precinct roof.

Juan went out of the library, he knows it is now in police hands, but he knows if one of the drug lords can escape, it will worsen the situation. Juan drive in his motorcycle and went not so near to the precinct in Tambler. He monitored that the hummer stopped in a crowded street as if hostage the crowd. When the crowd runs, the hummer is left shooting with the police.

The hummer is nearing the precinct. The sniper identified all the passengers but Michael Sang was not in the car. The sniper shoot the Hummer and one by one the six people died and the hummer stopped moving after it hit a van parked in the sidewalk.

Juan heard from the radio, that Michael Sang was not in the hummer, he ordered his detectives and guards to concentrate on finding Michael Sang in Calumpang Mall were the hummer stopped. It could be that he went out of the car and mixed with the people for cover.

Juan can easily identify Michael. He studied and monitored this criminal for almost a year. He went to the Calumpang Savemore convenience store with his bike. He parked.

He climbed the overpass to cross away from the mall and look at the people below away from the mall and in the direction toward the Sports complex he spotted Michael in a brown jacket with a cap in blue jeans with a white Tshirt.

He hurriedly went down and walked as if jogging towards his motorcycle and went to the direction of Michael with four men walking with him. He went ahead as if he does not know them then ahead, Parker his motor near a stall, then he bought a banana Que and Boko juice. Went to his motor as if eating his banana Que, as the 5 suspects are approaching near his bike they lined because the motorcycle is now blocking the sidewalk that only one man can pass, Juan who has an electric taser shocked the four suspects down who passed the bike, but Michael runs backward and went to the direction of the school, and get his 45 pistol trying to get a hostage. Juan rides his bike and drives straight to Michael hitting him in the back throwing him in the road. Michael can not stand he tried to shoot Juan, but Juan again drives his motorcycle over him. He collapsed. Juan called the police and an ambulance. Juan tied the four suspects. When the police arrived, Juan went again to school. Michael also died in the ambulance going to the hospital.

"I was already compromised," Juan said to himself.
