"Yow, we are being summoned by Master Hector." Elijah showed up with his girl.
"Let's go." I stand up and lead the way. Naabutan namin sila Vissy at Haxielle na nagkwekwentuhan.
Nagtama ang mga mata namin and we just exchanged glares. I know this is bad, but I am getting suspicious of her.
She's way too mysterious than I expected.
"What's up kids?" Hector happily greeted us. Haxielle rolled her eyes while Carter is clinging silently in her neck. These two...
They are closer than I expected.
"What's our mission today?" I asked Hector whose in a prince outfit and dancing waltz.
He made a turn and handed me the information.
"Ball night, assasinate the boss of Tervia and Bomb, Mr. Frenzo Arellano. He's a drug lord and illegal transacted some biochemical weapon. Arellano also escaped 4 rape crimes and attempt to murder one of it's daughter Celes Valdez-Kingstel and it's husband CEO of Lexus IT Corporation, Kingstel." I read the information.
"Wait, Did Arellano escaped the jail? Ang alam ko nakakulong dapat siya ng habang buhay? Kingstel and his wife wants that." Napatango ako sa sinabi nito. It was all over the news.
"Sadly, his name changed to Alfredo David and he is managing the company with her other daughter Kyziah Alvin the one with the condition of Alexithymia. She is also the winner of olympic in shooting but she got jailed because of drug usage." Hexton barged in holding the info I have. I heard Haxielle chuckled.
Tinignan ko ito at tumingin rin siya sa akin. Nagkibit-balikat ito na hindi ko nalang pinansin.
"We already have fake invitation. Everyone will meet up 5:25 pm 2 hours before the assasination." I dismissed all of them minding their own businesses.
5:24 pm
I was waiting for them in the car. Nakasandal ako sa gilid. Unang nagpakita sila Vissy at Elijah. Vissy is wearing a red mermaid gown hugging her waist while Elijah is wearing a red tuxedo.
Haxielle showed up with her black velvet gown with a slit on the side. Carter is following him with his black polo partner with crimson red vest. They are all partnered up.
Hexton appeared beside me with a bored face staring at the four.
"You got the plans?" Tanong nito at pumasok sa limousine.
"Yeah, I already got it. Let's just talk about it."
We arrived the event safely they check our identities and let us in.
Clicking glasses make us stop for a bit. We looked at each other and wear our small communication.
Nakipag-usap kami sa mga tao. I eyed on Hexton as a signal. He made his way upstairs to the position. I checked every area their security are medium so we can easily pass.
"Stay on your position. It will start in minutes." I commanded made them whisper their answer.
Silence began when Mr. Arellano clank the glass.
"To all dear visitor's of my birthday, thank you. I would also like to make the honor to thank Buenavista our partnership for my present. And also to my dearest daughter, Ziah for making this wonderful party."
The girl with a pink ballon gown showed up with a fake smile plastered evidently on it's face. She waved throughly that made crowd applause.
"Again, thank you for coming this night. Enjoy!" Everyone applauds in his speech.
The lights get dimmer and the violin started to play creating the tune of Happy Birthday. Choir started to sing as the crowd silently listening while the others are joining.
My gaze turn to Hexton's position. What the hell?! He is gone.
I carefully touched the button to communicate with him.
"Forrest, what happen? Shoot the bullet, now." I annoyingly whispered. I got no response. I made everyone back out their position to change their formation.
I slowly turn around and gone on a stairway. I wore my mask with the carvings of one on it. I messed my hair up at binaliktad ang vest ko upang maging bulletproof.
I made my way to Hexton's position. I found him unconscious my eyes went to the whole area. Nothing suspicious can be found.
The song finished because of the people's applause. Damn it! It will be fail. I can't shoot this time. They are going to know me.
I turned off my communication with Haxielle. She shouldn't know.
"Fifth, step backwards guard the entrance." I commanded. Fifth glanced at me and nod slowly.
"Fourth, check Mr. Arellano and Sixth try to ask someone to hack the CCTV." They followed it too.
"It's finished, Uno. CCTVs are off." Sixth said and I checked it.
"Hey! I've been trying to communicate. You are all not answering. What happen? I'm at the restroom may nagtabig sa akin kanina ng juice. Ugh! This is annoying." Haxielle said. I just sighed at her. I turned off the voice changer.
"We've been taking care of it." I replied she just answered me with ok.
As the music starts to play again the light's turned off. The candles are the only ones lighted up. The visitors starts to make a noise.
"Guests, calm down. We will turn the generator on." Pagpapakalma ni Mr. Arellano. He was walking out ng umalingawngaw ang tunog ng baril.
Mr. Arellano collapsed while holding it's champagne there's a hole on it's forehead and it's eyes are wide shock. Ziah run into it's arm faking it's grief.
I stared from where it came from. I saw a human figure running away. Hinabol ko ito at tinanggal ang mask ko.
Shit! I lost it.
Pumunta ako sa likod ng lugar. I saw a man with white hair ang nakatalikod. The moonlight hit it's arm showing the moon symbol. Grim...
Naramdaman nito ang presensya ko kaya lumingon ito sa akin.
A girl...
Nagtama ang mata namin it's violet eyes are shining. She is staring at me emotionless like always.
"It's nice to talk with you again, president." Her voice are so cold tumalikod ito at biglang nawala sa paningin ko.
My fist clenched.
We finished the mission pero di kami ang gumawa. I stared at my glassboard with the marking of every information I have.
Binaling ko ang aking tingin sa larawan ni Grim. I hit it with my dart and drink some wine. She's different.
You are really something, Grim.
-EPILOGUE-°■Current Location■°Philippine National Airport=-=-=-=7:30 am11 years later... "Asher nasaan ka na ba?!" I fix my shades walking. Napakapit ako sa passport ko dahil baka mahulog. That mission really give my back too much pain. "I'm at the airport kakalabas ko lang." Sagot ko kay Vissy na tumatawag sa akin. I heard someone grab the phone to hers at sumagot. "Oy Asher kapag hindi ka pa namin nakita mauuna na kami doon! Si Jiah nagkukulit na." Paalala n
-Yuki-One month later..."Woah... after a month comeback na ni Asher ito ah." I coldly look at Elijah walking towards me. Vissy beside her poke his sides at sinamaan ng tingin. Someone tap my shoulder at lumingon ako sa kanya. It's Hexton."You good bro?" Tanong nito sa akin. I let out a deep sigh at humarap sa kaniya. Hindi pa sila hihinto? "Yeah, I am." "It's been months isn't it?" He look at me habang naglalakad. The hallway looks normal now... it's better hindi katulad noong nangyari sa unang linggo. "Since she died. It must
-Yuki Asher-Tahimik sila habang naghihintay ako ng sagot. I glanced once again to Haxielle at mariin itong umiling. Napakagat ako ng aking labi sa kakaisip. "Time is running up, iho." He tap the buttons continously halatang naiinip na ito. "I choose... Mr. Hades." Lumaki ang ngiti nito at pinindot ang button na para sa lalagyan ni Sir Hades, pagkatapos ay hinagis niya at at sumabog ang susi. Unti-unting bumukas ang lalagyan nito at nakalabas si Mr. Hades agad niyang sinubukan ilabas ang anak niya ngunit ayaw.
-Haxielle-Sinulyapan ko sila muli sa kani-kanilang pwesto habang ako ay nakatayo sa gitna. Dala-dala ko ang nag-iisa kong katana. Dahan-dahan akong bumaba sa lupa dahil kung susuriin ay maari itong bumigay ng mabilis. "Ervex is on position Nemesis." She communicated. "Can you see the kids? Elijah and Min." Tanong ko habang nakakapit sa putol na sangay at lumundag papunta sa isa. I think I'm rock climbing- but downwards. "I'm still searching for it ngayon maraming bantay akong nakikita at mukhang may ginagawa tauhan nila." Elijah said I can hear him tapping the keyboard
-Haxielle-"Let's fight together." Pag-uulit ko sa aking sinabi. Hinawakan ni Ash ang kamay ko at pinabayaan ko lang. "So... are you guys- may comeback na ganon?" Tanong ni Remi na nanonood sa amin. Binitawan ko ang kamay ni Ash at lumapit sa kanila. "No. There's no comeback- everything will start to zero." Sinulyapan ko si Asher. Alam kong gusto niyang tumanggi doon pero mukhang naiintindihan naman niya. "Did Min send you the location here?" Tanong ko at saktong sumulyap si Min dala-dala ang mga kinakain. "Nope. Wala akong sinend sa kanila." Pagtanggi niya sabay subo ng free
-Haxielle-"Gaano pa tayo kalayo?" Wang asked Min at agad na kinalikot niya ang location. "About 3 kilometers wala pa akong nakikitang radar sa paligid it's still safe." Sagot niya at kumuha ng bubblegum at ngumuya. "Have you sent it to them?" Tanong ko at inayos ang suot ng shades. Tumango naman ito at pinakita ang file na nakasend sa computer ni Elijah.Napahawak kami sa upuan ng biglang umikot ang sasakyan natin. Sinamaan ko ng tingin si Min at tinignan si Wang."Report.""Sorry, Nemesis. May biglang naghagis ng mga pako sa daan." He grab a gun at tinignan ang bintana.Sabay kaming napayuko ng may tumagos na baril doon."I thought you choose a bulletproof car
