"Mr. Tan was known as the corrupt official. Hindi lang siya masibak sa puwesto dahil walang matibay na ebidensya. Your father is expecting you to be the one who'll finish this," paliwanag ng aming butler na si Gin habang nagd-drive ng sasakyan.
"A c-rank mission. As I expected," mapaklang sagot ko.
"Lady Fev, your father cares for your safety that's why he's cautious."
"He cares for his title, that's more convincing."
"But lady Fev-"
"We are family but we're not. That's what he taught us so don't ever think that he cares for me, my sisters neither." And that's how I ended our conversation.
As we arrived at the hotel, Gin observed the whole place while I went to comfort room near the parking lot to change clothes.
"I only have thirty minutes to finish this mission, huh?" I uttered to myself while changing my clothes. It's already 8 o'clock in the evening and I need to finish this by the time I estimated.
I wear skin-toned dress and put some make up. I should look presentable because I'm attending an engagement ceremony which is in my target's location and it will be held in this five star hotel.
My phone suddenly rang as I leave the woman's comfort room. It was Gin which I expected to give details about the place so I immediately answer it.
"Tell me the whole-"
"Lady Fev, let's retreat for now!" I sensed nervousness from his voice that made me curious.
"What? Hindi pa nga ako nakakasimula!" iritadong sagot ko.
"Faster, Lady Fev! Someone's tracking your location!" halos pasigaw nang tugon nito.
"The hell I care-"
"The target's already know your identity!" putol nito na ikinagulat ko.
"What did you say? That's impossible!"
Mga higher officials lang ang nakakaalam ng identity namin sa labas. It's also impossible for higher officials to reveal us, assassins, because it was like they simply digging their own grave. Marami kaming butlers and all of them are also assassins so there's no possibility that they would reveal us.
"Yes it is, so hurry up. I'll wait you at the second gate!" pinutol niya na ang linya kahit hindi pa ako nakakasagot.
"F*ck that Gin!" sigaw ko sa telepono dahil sa inis na binabaan ako.
"So you came, lady Fevianna," I immediately turned around as I heard a masculine voice on my back. We're here at the parking lot and I saw a man wearing black suit who's now standing right in front of me.
Who is this guy? And how did he know my name? As far as I can remember, only our family and butlers knew my name. I even have an assigned name on every mission.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"That's unfair, lady Fev. Don't treat me like you don't know me at all," he sarcastically said.
"I don't care whether I know you or not, I have no business with you," I frankly said and walked away.
"You haven't changed. You're always as impatient as your Father," aniya na ikinagulat ko. Tumigil ako sa paglalakad at hinarap siya.
"How did you know my father?" tanong ko na hindi nagpapakita ng emosyon. He knew my father, and probably met him. Alright, I already have an idea who's this guy.
Ngumisi lang siya at hindi ako sinagot. Nagpitik siya ng daliri at maya-maya'y may tatlong lalaki na nakasuot din ng itim na suit ang lumapit at akmang hahawakan ako.
"Just who the f*ck do you think you are!" Bago pa nila ako mahawakan ay tinadyakan ko ang dalawang lalaki sa gilid at mabilis na nakaalis sa puwestong iyon. I grabbed that opportunity to escape at mas lalo akong nainis dahil malayo pa ang second gate na binanggit ni Gin. Kinuha ko ang phone at tinawagan siya. Sinagot naman niya ito agad.
"Just fetch me at the main gate," utos ko rito saka pinatay na ang telepono.
Malapit na ako sa main gate nang maramdaman kong may sumusunod pa rin sa akin. F*ck those men in black! Hindi lang mga ordinaryong pursuer ang mga 'yon, more like an assassin! Hindi ko pa mararamdaman ang mga presensya nila kung hindi lang malakas ang pakiramdam ko. I left there without leaving a sign so how come they knew where I am?
"Someone's tracking your location!" Gin's voice suddenly popped up my mind that made me stop.
"Damn it!" mura ko sa aking isipan at tinapon ang phone nang marealize na tinatrack ang location ko.
I have an idea whose these guys are but I don't have an idea how those men in black were tracking my location. Wala akong dapat ipag-alala sa phone dahil walang makukuhang impormasyon doon. My concern for now is who's the traitor among our butlers.
Nakalabas na ako sa main gate pero walang Gin o sasakyan na naghihintay. Where the hell did he go and who the hell does he think he is para paghintayin ako rito?! I have no choice but to run dahil malapit na ang mga humahabol sa akin.
Malapit na ako sa second gate nang maaninagan ko ang itim na sasakyan and I expected na si Gin na 'yon. Nagmamadali akong sumakay rito na humarurot na agad ng takbo.
"Bakit ba ang tagal mo?!"
"Bakit ba ang tagal mo?"
Sabay naming tanong sa isa't isa at doon lang ako napatingin sa kaniya. But I was surprised from what I saw.
The person I was expecting to see is not here.
"Who the hell are you?" he asked.
