Codename: Alpha Zero

Chapter 44

ALPHERO

Pagbalik namin ng hideout ay nagpaplano pa rin sila. Hindi ganoon kaayos ang mood pero hindi na din masama.

Pero magulo.

"I told you we should attack all their hideouts at once! Paano kung malaman nila na inatake ang isa sa mga hideout nila at maghanap sila ng ibang lugar para doon magtayo ng panibagong hideout?" sigaw ni Ocho.

"And you'll risk the lives of the Alpha Fleet? Imagine dividing them to a fewer number tapos ang haharapin nila sandamakmak na mga sindikato! Hindi sila Decade 'gaya niyo!" giit ng kapatid niyang si Flinte.

"And I know the Omega. Hindi sila kikilos kung hindi sila mabibigyan ng utos mula sa Pentagon. They are that loyal to them. Isang paglabag lang ay kamatayan na sa kanila, kahit pa sa ikabubuti iyon ng grupo nila," dagdag ni Calvin.

Nagbabatuhan lang sila ng salita at sa tingin ko ay wala pa silang planong nabubuo. I sat on my chair and raised my right hand. Tumahimik ang buong silid.

"Ano nang nangyari?" tanong ko.

"Wala pang nabubuong plano," sagot ni Uno. "When someone suggest, another one will counter. It's like a competition."

"What do you expect when two groups collide?" Diez said.

I observed them. Masasama ang tingin sa isa't-isa.

"Call Ray Tyler and Dana Barnett," utos ko na agad namang sinunod ni Tres.

Maya-maya lang ay pumasok na ang dalawang Grims na pinatawag ko. They got slightly shocked when they saw the people with us.

"Bakit kami pinatawag dito?" tanong ni Ray.

"We formed a team that will totally and completely destroy Omega," ako na ang sumagot sa kaniya. "We will call this team, Special Force Century."

"And our mission?" Uno added. "Special Mission: Destruction."

"We'll destroy the Omega and burn them to ashes," Seis said next. "Literally."

"You really like burning things," Grace commented.

"Shut up."

The Decade still hates her. I can tell it by just looking at my group. Sino ba naman ang magiging okay matapos kang traydurin at babalik nang hindi man lang nag-sorry? Yeah, it's childish.

"We'll do it tomorrow," I announced. "Kailangan na natin 'tong madaliin. We will include all the Alpha Fleet. The 16 of us will be the one to attack the main base," napatingin ako kay Mina. She nodded. "And the others will attack the other bases. Based on our subordinates, there are four other bases of the Omega other than their main base. There are rumors that Victor, the last of the Pentagon, is in there. That's why only the 16 of us is assigned to that place. The Decade, two traitors, a genius, three nominated Alpha Fleet to be promoted as a Decade, and a special Chaser who always works along the Decades."

"Ang ganda naman ng mga titles," Grace said. "Except for Calvin and I."

"I told you to shut up."

"Any questions?" Uno asked.

Seis raised her right hand. "What if this piece of something betrayed us again?"

"Then I'll kill them without hesitation," I coldly answered with a blank expression.

"Any other questions?" Uno asked again.

When no one raised their hands, I stood up. "Adjourned."

Lumapit ako kay Mina at nilahad ang kamay ko. She smiled weakly and held my hand. Walang lingon-lingon na umalis kami ng office.

Sumakay kami sa Lamborghini Alston ko at nagmaneho ako papunta sa kanila. Maraming tao ang naroon at nakikiramay. Napatingin silang lahat sa amin.
