“Hey, what are you still doing there?”

I stiffened as I watch the guy easily knocked the men down who surrounds us. I can’t believe it. We’re surrounded by a total of ten persons and he easily handled it all by himself! Even the gun I’m holding is now back in his palm. Not to mention he did it quietly.

Nakapamulsa na siya ngayong nakatayo sa harapan ko. Hinihintay ang susunod kong sasabihin.

“You’re not with them?” I asked that made his eyes widened as if he didn’t expect he’ll be suspected as their ally.

“What? You assumed I’m their ally? These weaklings?” He pointed the guys that are now lying on the floor.

“Yeah?” I answered awkwardly.

Napaatras ako nang bigla niya na namang itutok ang baril sa akin, kinapa ko ang sarili at na-realized na nabawi niya nga pala ang baril mula sa akin kanina.

“Baba!” sigaw niya.

Nagsalubong ang kilay ko, anong pinagsasabi nito?

“What?”

“Hurry!” He’s losing his patience but I still don’t get it.

Later on, he suddenly pulled the trigger that made me jump by surprise. Mabilis ang paghinga ko nang tumingin sa likod. May lalaking duguan na nakahandusay sa sahig habang may hawak na baril. Bumalik ang tingin ko sa lalaki na halos patayin na rin ako.

“What the hell! You almost killed me!” I shout at him.

“You would have been killed if I didn’t shot that person,” tukoy niya sa lalaking nakahandusay sa likod ko.

“You didn’t warn me!”

“I did,” he casually said, returning his gun in his gun holster.

“Fevi, what happened?” I heard Fellin’s voice. I almost forgot, connected pa pala ako sa kanila.

“Nothing,” I said.

“What?” the guy in front of me asked. Sh*t. He didn’t notice my earpiece.

“Look. I have my own business here. If you don’t want to kill me, then I’ll go ahead and finish my mission,” I said and walk towards the door.

“Nah, you’re not going,” he said that made me stop from walking, nakaramdam ako ng kakaibang tensyon na nagpipigil sa aking gumalaw, “not until you tell me your name,” dagdag niya at doon lang ako nakahinga nang maluwag.

“Don’t you dare, bitch,” I heard Fion’s voice.

I’m about to tell him but I realize, we haven’t decided names for this mission! F*ck this! I just decided to tell him the name I used from my previous mission. He won’t notice that I’m lying anyway.

“Vanna,” I simply answered.

His eyes widened as if he just saw a ghost.

“Vanna? You mean, Vanna from that ceremony? I knew it!” nakangiti pang aniya.

I look at him. How did he know about the ceremony? When he saw my confused face, he explained everything to me. Like how I ended up on his car instead of Gin’s. He’s the guy I ran off when those men in black were pursuing me. That’s why he’s familiar. At first, I was shocked because I didn’t expect that that innocent look can possibly kill.

“So that’s what happened, huh?” I heard Fionna’s voice. Since Gin is there, he explains what happened from my previous mission. They also heard the latter because of this guy’s explanation.
