CHAPTER 31

THE HERO'S QUEST

"What do we do after we plant the tracker?" Eitan asked during the meeting that night.

Viktor grinned and pointed at the documents with the list of the clinics and stores harboring N-02. 

"We make a move." He said.

The night was expected to be quiet following the  calm days in the city but it was all that is to it. Sabay sabay na nagbukas ang pintuan ng tatlong van na laman ay mga armadong lalaki na suot ang kanilang mga sumbrero at mask. 

Nang bumaba ay tumama sa ilaw ang kanilang nagi-isang hikaw. Eitan looked around and lifted his hand in commence of their task. Without making that much noise and attracting much attention, they all ran while crouching towards the closed store.

"We're in." Kozma said through the earpiece as he guarded Ches' back while he is unlocking the door.

Eitan leaned on the wall while guarding the back of the advancing Taggers. "We're in too."

Inangat ni Eitan ang tingin niya sa CCTV na gumagalaw sa taas nila. He tilted his head to reach the radio tied on his chest.

"Why isn't the camera not yet turned off?" He asked.

And then as if on cue, the CCTV went off. 

Phillie chuckled on the other line. "Sorry, I was busy turning off the camera's of the other warehouses."

Back at the District, Phillie stayed behind after receiving her own task of backing up all of them with the use of the electronics. She were taught how to navigate the control system and is now serving as one of the spines.

Lily, behind her, slammed her feet down the floor and sighed. "Why do I need to stay behind too and act as a babysitter?"

"That's what you get for abducting me like that. Now stop complaining." Phillie said while watching the monitors.

All of the Taggers are now outside the District and is currently at the stores and warehouses where the N-02 is being stored secretly. With only counted Taggers left behind to guard them, they all made a move.

"Now all is left is the main event." Phillie murmured as she leaned her chin on the back of her hand while watching all of them on the monitors. "Please be safe."

Everything is falling according to their plan and after witnessing what happened in Morocco, she can say that this is not that much compared to how intense that was. 

"You one of their girlfriend?" Lily asked while lazily looking at Phillie.

Phillie chuckled. "Where'd you even get that idea.."

"But it's obvious. You like someone." 

Phillie turned around her swivel chair. "You're one crazy Asian."

All of a sudden, someone talked on the earpiece they are both wearing. Lily watched as how Phillie's eyes twinkled as she turned around to check the monitors again.

"You're on your way back already? That's fast." She said in a delighted tone.

Lily scoffed as she leaned her head back at the chair. "Learn to not look so obvious then. One crazy Russian."

After a few hours, the Taggers has returned to their turf as if nothing happened. 

"It's too dangerous to put N-02 in the District." Kozma said.
