“What happened to her?!” 





Pagkapasok namin ng HQ ay bumungad si Tito Aurelio. Their father.





“There’s this poison that Zelda invented. Unfortunately, she was stabbed with that.” Lucas was the one who answered his question at sumama pagpasok sa loob ng room where Cali is confined.





Naiwan naman ako sa labas with the assassins. The HQ has it all. There’s a hospital with complete apparatus, training grounds, rooms with different kinds of explosives and bombs, pistols and rifles, and monitors with the evil’s eye. The evil’s eye is what we used to track our enemies all over the world. 





"After I ran diagnostics, I saw that he had a tattoo." Kaiden told us through a video call.





He showed us something on his Ipad. The screen displays the tattoo on the guy's elbow. 





"Only you and Cali know this symbol." He added and zoomed it in. 





The same tattoo Mair had, the color red butterfly.





“It’s Zelda.” I mumbled. “If Mair is part of Zelda, then he is not a spy from the Mafia?”





“Bingo!” Kaiden answered at inalis ang Ipad niya. “Cali saved the Mafia from being ruined without her knowing.”





“They should just die alongside their legacy.” I rolled my eyes na tinawanan naman ni Kaiden.





“Boss.” One of the assassins called me. Nakaharap ito sa computer kaya lumapit ako. “This is where he is headed.”





“That’s the mansion of Vallejo’s.” I whispered at him upon realization. “Find out what he’s up to.”





“Alright.” I saw how he typed something on his keyboard fast and in just a second may control na agad siya sa CCTV ng mga Vallejo. 





Pumasok ang lalaking pinapanood namin roon na parang casual lang, hindi rin siya hinarang ng mga reapers. Why?





“Boss.” Kaiden called my attention. “That man is Eli’s cousin, the name’s Leo.” Eli who?





When he noticed that it took me a long time to answer, he added, “Eli is Cali’s ex.”





Oh that bastard.





“So what?”





“Eli could be one of the Zelda.” He said. Bigla naman siyang lumingon sa gilid niya, “I’ll be right back.” Paalam niya and ended the call immediately.





“Boss.” Nilingon ko ulit ang assassin na may control sa CCTV ng Vallejo. “I’ll transfer the voice recording of their whole conversation on your gmail. There's also a transcript.”





I nodded and entered the room where Cali is sleeping. She’s still not awake. Sumasakit na rin ang ulo ko sa puyat.





“Lucas.” I called Lucas’ attention who’s busy playing on his phone. “Do you have biogesic?”





“Yeah.” Kinapa niya ang bulsa niya and took out his medicine box at binato iyon sa akin na mabilis ko namang sinalo. Tsk, magkakaugali talaga sila.
