She's a Secret Agent?! (English Version)

[37]

A tear escaped as I trembled. It was my fifth mission in the agency. It was a case of child trafficking. According to a tip, child traffickers invite rich people to sell the kids they had kidnapped all over the world, like they were freaking pets. My mission was to track and report. But I went beyond.

Because of my selfishness and cowardness, when we came back ,Teresa was already lying on the floor blood all over her. Because of that incident, I nearly quit the agency. The guilt was always following me. It's like I killed Teresa myself. If I had just rescued her earlier and not be driven by fear she would be safe by now. I fucking hate myself. 

So from then on, I promised, I won't let anyone die because of me. I woud rather die first to save the. But this doesn't make my guilt to be totally erased. Nightmares always follow me. And I deserved it.

"Aw, poor brat you remember her after all do you?" She laughs maniacally, her voice echoing in the room, while I tremble on my seat.

"Well, the truth is. I killed that stupid girl myself"

I looked up at her and I see her smiling proudly. 

"You know, in the start I was the best. But you came. You were the apple of the eye, because you're the top agent's daughter. And I was left out" she starts with a grim expression on her face. 

"How crazy right? How after a new doll arrived, the most favorite doll was now discarded, thrown in a corner, only used if needed" She smiled bitterly.

"So I have to do something. I knew you were given that mission and I followed you all the way there. When I saw you entered the room, I tipped them off by writing it on a piece of paper. How clever right?"

My eyes widened.

"Yes, Misaki. I helped them! They discovered you but they were so fucking stupid! They hadn't even caught you. So I went back to the room you entered because I was pretty sure I heard you cooing there and saw this ugly little child. Her cries was so annoying and my ear hurt, she was repeating to herself that you'll save her ugh'" She rolled her eyes in disgust.

My eyes began to water.

"So what did I do? I killed her Misaki. I shot her!" she laughs at loud as if it was a joke of the year. How could she? Teresa was too young and innocent to die!

I couldn't stop my tears from falling. She didn't deserve to die.

I bend my head down still sobbing. My heart is in pain. It's like I couldn't breath. I saw my tears drop on my jeans making wet spots but I didn't care. The steel door suddenly bolted open and Raku came in pushing a table filled with torture devices and my mind alerted. 

"So where should we start?" Raku's voice boomed in.

I saw Daniel and Cross trash wildly on their places. I have to do something. I have to calm down. Teresa wouldn't want this. She would want me to kill this bitch than to see me weak.

I heaved a sigh and looked behind Ivy that was smiling widely. I gritted my teeth to stop myself from pouncing at her.

I hate this bitch.

I tried to focus and stopped myself from crying. I noticed that behind her there was a table in which my bag was as well as the gadgets Dr. Utotino has gotten for me. I closed my eyes as I formulate my plan.

Ivy walks towards Raku and picked up a long whip.

"Now, this would do it" She says slowly. Before she could get near me I managed to cut the ropes off and I swiftly jumped off the chair. Because of shock, she hadn't reacted immediately and I took this chance to go for my bag as I ran and slipped stealthily to the table

"No!" Ivy screams which got Raku's attention. They were charging at me but I already retrieved my gun and shot it on Cross' and Daniels' chains as they were set free and Raku had set their eyes on them in alert. 

I bend over to avoid Ivy's whiplash before I threw the umbrella to Cross. I picked the samurai sword from Raku's table when I realized I had ran out of bullets. Fuck I should have out it all. 

I threw the samurai swords and thankfully he didn't catch it with his bare hands. 

"Misaki! DO want to cut my hands off?" I stopped myself from rolling my eyes.

Cross was busy defending himself and he couldn't have time initiating a command since Raku was attacking him aggressively. 

"Aw, you can't bring me down Misaki" Ivy mocks and positioned herself holding a katana as she dropped the whip on the floor. I got on my fighting stance after also picking another katana and smirked.

"Oh I can't bring somebody down" I paused. "Who's already low"

Her eyes looked animalistic as she charged at me. I didn't mean it but the look on her face was worth saying it.

I ducked and used my sword to defend myself. She charged again but I still blocked her without even using much energy.

I twirled her sword using mine with force upwards and she lost her grip. Her sword flew to a corner that was far from us. He swiftly clutched the gun beside her and pointed at me. Geez, what a coward. 

"Die bitch!" She rain shots at me but I quickly rolled on the side. I jumped on the table as I flipped towards her. I aimed at her hand and swished my sword suddenly feeling my anger towards her at what she'd done to Teresa. I heard a sickening sound just when I landed as liquid splattered unto me and her face. 

"AH! SHIT!" She screams at the top of her lungs when she saw her hand. It was barely hanging and only a small portion of skin was keeping it together. Her gun fell on the floor in her pool of blood.  I pointed my sword at her neck.

Tears and not where now falling on her face and his confident smile was gone. She backed away from struggling as she did so, until her back hit the wall. 

"You know, I could just easily kill you" I smiled at her. And this time, she was the one who trembled. "Cut your throat with this blade"

She gasped and sobbed looking at me with fear on her eyes. I traced my blade on her throat slightly drawing blood making her whimper.

"Or..." I trail off, sliding the blade sideways slowly.. "I could cut your head off" She trembled and cried.

"No, no, please, Misaki, I'm sorry" she begged, kneeling before me. I raised my blade. But as soon as I took a swing and nearly hit her I redirected it to my left side and it pierced through the stomach of the guy who was trying to jab me with a knife. So he tried to sneak on me. Bastard. That's when I realize the goons were already in the room. 

I looked at  Ivy as I withdrew my blade from the man's stomach. He slumped on the ground coughing blood. But I didn't mind him. Based on my trajectory I didn't hit a major organ or vessel so he should be fine. I cleaned the blood off my katana with Ivy's dress who was still shaking and sobbing. Gosh, she was a total mess. 

"But I'm not like you" I finished.

I left her and she slumped on the ground as I took another member out.
