teen 1: 'ate, do you know <name>?'
me: 'aw, no... what's the surname?'
teen 1: '<surname>...'
me: 'ay, i don't know anyone with that surname... what's their street?'
teen 2: 'she's female...'
me: 'yeah... the name sounds female... what's their street?'
teen 1: 'we don't know...'
teen 2: 'they have a tricycle...'
me: 'oh, tricycle? you can ask any of the tricycle drivers when you see one... or you can ask the barangay...'
teen 2: 'never mind...'
me: 'the barangay is so near! it's just there! <i point to a fence 5 meters away>... i'm going that way... you can follow me...'
teen 2: 'it's okay... never mind...'
me: 'how will you find her?'
teen 1: 'let's try the barangay...'
teen 2: 'no!'
teen 1: 'all we're going to do is ask you're already saying no?! c'mon!'
teen 2 balks but teen 1 pulls her...
they follow me...
some people are more receptive than others...
