Codename: Alpha Zero

Chapter 42

MINCY

"If you would be an animal, what would it be?" basa ko sa isang article na nahanap ko sa internet.

I don't want to waste my time thinking about these things. I mean, what ifs questions are just the people's way to pass time. Things like that won't happen.

"If you would have given a chance to change something in your life, what would it be?" I read the next article.

Why are these articles like this? Essential ba 'to? Articles should contain valuable informations that adds knowledge to the readers not entertain them.

The question is, why am I reading these even if I don't like it? As I have said, articles like this are just a waste of time. But why am I still surfing these things?

My train of thought was stopped by the vibration of my phone. Tiningnan ko iyon.

An e-mail from BlackMail.

TRES~
Emergency meeting. Simmons hospital. Room 201.

I quickly packed my things up. Kailangan kong pumunta agad doon. Something bad happened. I'm sure of it.

I jumped in my Ford Transit Van and started the engine. I quickly drove to the hospital.

Nang makarating ako ay napatingala ako sa gusali. It's the third time that I went here because of a Decade. Sino naman kaya ang biktima ngayon?

Dere-deretso akong pumunta sa elevator. Pinindot ko agad ang second floor button nang makapasok na ako.

May humabol na lalaki papasok sa loob bago pa magsara ang pinto ng elevator. I looked at him.

"Maaga ka yata?" tanong ko sa kaniya.

"Late ka lang," Cuatro replied.

Si Cuatro ang pinakamatigas ang ulo sa Decade. Sometimes he would not do his missions and orders the Grims to take it over. Ang dahilan niya ay hindi niya daw trip ang objectives ng misyon.

Pagbukas ng elevator ay agad kaming pumunta sa unang room na may nakalagay na numerong '201'.

All of the Decade except us are already there. They looked at the two of us with curious eyes. Especially Lucy.

"Ate Mincy!" Lucy called me. Ito na nga ba sinasabi ko.

"Why?" tanong ko kahit may hinala na ako kung anong sasabihin niya.

"Bakit magkasabay kayong pumunta dito?" she asked. Sabi na, eh.

"Sa elevator lang kami nagkasabay," Cuatro is the one who answered her.

"Weh? Nag-date 'ata kayo, eh!" Lucy giggled after what she said. "Bagay kayo!"

Lucy, or Siyete, always says what she wants to say. Walang preno ang bibig niya at wala din iyong filter. She'll just say things that cross her mind.

Minsan ay nagagamit niya iyon psychologically to distract her enemies. Mas nagiging madali sa kaniyang gawin ang mga misyon niya dahil sa pagiging madaldal niya.

"Alam mo, wala akong interes sa mga kalbo," I said to Lucy. Nakita kong nanlaki ang mga mata ni Cuatro. I smirked.

"A-Anong kalbo?" Cuatro shouted. Sinuklay niya gamit ang kamay niya ang may kakapalan na buhok niya. "Can't you see this gorgeous hair of mine?"

"Ay, sorry, iba pala 'yon," I said with a peace sign. I'm referring to the actor with the same name as his.

"Stop that already. We have a serious case here," Zero cut us off. Hindi ko napansin na nasa likod na pala namin siya.
