FRIENDS

Third Person's POV

"Hey, man! Come on! We'll escape later and you're still sitting here like a fucking monk,"

Elijah laughed at his bestfriend, Jay, when he saw him sitting there. Jay punched his gut jokingly but the latter didn't budge. Natawa lang siya lalo.

"I'm planning an escape, idiot. Shut up," Jay fired back before looking around. There were tall trees surrounding them and there are traps everywhere. State of the art traps and sensors. Mayroon ding mga armadong lalaki na nakakalat sa paligid.

Elijah sat beside him before putting his chin on his palm. "You know that I can easily infiltrate the control room, right?"

Elijah and Jay are both mercenaries for hire. After their training, the two took two different assassination missions and they finished it with ease. They went back to this place they called 'The Base'.

Pareho rin silang nakuha sa mga pamilya nila pero dahil wala pa silang alam sa marumi at magulong mundo noon, they didn't stand a chance to fight for their lives.

Now that they are trained, dangerous and skilled, they can now prepare an escape plan. Gumawa sila ng mga bagay na hindi nila gugustuhing gawin but they chose those options to fight for their lives. It's either The Master will kill them or they will kill The Master and they can't do both.

"So what's the plan?" Elijah asked.

Bago pa man sila makasagot ay narinig na nila ang pamilyar na tunog galing sa isang maliit na bahay na gawa sa kahoy. The two stood up before they walked towards the 'cafeteria'.

It was not like the normal cafeteria with walls, ceilings and painted chairs and tables. Their cafeteria is a long rectangular table made of wood and a long rectangular seat na tabi-tabi lang sila. Nakatapat pa lagi sa sikat ng araw.

Armed men started to distribute their foods which are vegetables and rice with not-so-cold beverages. Elijah glared at the spanish armed man when the latter put the plate in front of him aggressively.

The man noticed it kaya pinalo niya ang ulo ni Elijah gamit ang paa ng hawak niyang baril but the latter didn't budge. "No me mires asío usaré mi cuchillo para quitarte esos ojos chinos."

"What the fuck did he just said?" Elijah leaned to ask Jay. The latter shrugged and continued to eat his food. Elijah pouted a bit before he started to eat too.

After eating, Elijah couldn't remove the curiousness out of him kaya agad niyang nilapitan si Jay na nagpapractice na naman sa shooting range ng lugar. The loudness of gunfires aren't new to Elijah anymore dahil araw-araw silang nakakarinig no'n.

Because everyday, the Master tasked his men to kill those weaklings inside the place and the men just killed two teenagers today.

Those scenarios are not new to the two anymore.

They became friends because of their bonding and trust to each other. Aside from that, they are both Filipinos. Jay is a pure Filipino while Elijah is half-chinese and half-filipino.

Elijah noticed how Jay's firing became more agressive. He knew that it was because of his first assassination where three teenagers are involved. He said that he let one of them go free because of his guilt but The Master doesn't know it yet. Elijah helped him to clear his tracks.

"Man, I told you," Elijah said softly. "We should get out of here. Tonight."

"You're right," Jay nodded after putting back the pistol he used on the table. "You know that the British guy hates us so much, right?"
