MISSION 75th, KILL TIGER
***
I was busy playing billiard with my sister when my phone rang.
“TGEX Gang, Copper speaking.”
“198th floor.”
“I need to leave. ” paalam ko sa kapatid ko.
-
“Assassin, uno, copper just arrived.”
“Let him in.” the secretary opened the door and I saw my boss sitting on a chair with a cigarette in his hand.
I was about to greet him when he suddenly speak.
“My daughter needs a donor as early as possible.” pagsisimula niya.
“...and she’s your mission. ” saka niya itinuro ang isang larawan at nagulat ako nang makita kung sino iyon.
“Tiger was the reason why my daughter lost her sight and she wants Tiger’s eyes. At bilang isa sa malinis na magtrabaho, I’ll entrust this mission to you, Copper,” he said and took a glass of wine.
“March 25th. Bring here her dead body.” meaning I only have 1 week to kill Tiger. (Tiger=code name of other mem of a gang)
“Yes, boss.” I took the picture and get out.
Before I leave the building, pumunta muna ako sa 205th floor, where my girlfriend is staying.
“Hi, Babe” I kissed her on the forehead.
“Did my dad talk to you already?”
“We just finished talking about the mission, but why does it have to be Tiger anyway?”
“Simply, because I want her to be dead.” she retorted.
“Hmm, I see. Well, I gotta go. ” I just took two steps when she speak.
“Wait up.”
“Why, babe? ”
“Uh, nothing, just go.”
“I’ll see you tomorrow.”
I leave her room and I can’t stop thinking about the mission. Gusto kong muling makakita ang girlfriend ko, who is my boss’ daughter, but this mission is the hardest one.

“WHERE THE HELL IS COPPER!” furiously asked the boss.
“Boss, we cannot trace him.”
“FUCK!” the boss threw everything on his desk.
“Boss!” one of the men suddenly came.
“Empress Sky is missing.”
“WHAT? FUCK!” The boss took his gun and they went to his daughter’s room and kill everyone who’s in-charge in guarding Empress Sky’s room.
Later, one of the men, called.
“We found Empress Sky, at **** Hospital room 504.” and they rushed to the hospital and got surprised when the operation has already been done.

Empress Sky’s POV
It was past midnight when I heard someone open the door. I was about to take my katana under my pillow when he speaks
“Babe, come with me.” oh, it’s Helix (Copper)
“Helix? Paano ka nakapasok? And where are we going?”
“Just come with me, babe. We’ll just gonna go somewhere.”
“How about the men outside?”
“Ako na ang bahala.” and he took me somewhere. I am sure that it’s somewhere far from the building.
Huminto kami and he carried me hanggang sa makarating kami sa shore. Yes, just upon hearing the sound of the wave, I can tell that we’re on a beach.
“Anong nakain mo, babe?”
“Gusto lang kita masolo ngayon. HAHAHA”
“Psh, you’re being weird.”
“I love you, Sky. I love you, Allison.”
“Of course, I love you more, Helix, my Copper.” and suddenly I felt his soft warm lips touching mine.
---
“Babe, after this, you’re gonna get your sight back.”
“You done with your mission?”
“Of course, I’m Copper, after all, the most handsome among the TGEX Gang men. HAHAHA.”
“Tss, conceited.”
“Babe, I love you so much.” he hugged me and hold my hands tight.
“I’m sorry.”
“Huh? Babe, what do you mean---” Hindi ko pa natatapos ang sasabihin ko ng may maramdaman akong syringe na tumarak sa akin.

“Kuya, kumain ka na.”
“Thank you. Update?”
“Mamaya na, kumain ka na muna, oh”
“Tss, may kamay ako, give it to me, I can feed myself.” Kinapa ko ang kutsara at saka nagsimulang kumain nang magsalita ang kapatid ko.
“Successful ang operation. Makakita na si Allison.”
I smiled.
“That’s good.”
“Tss! Fuck you, Kuya!” I heard her sobbing.
“Hahaha why?”
“You don’t have to do this, but thank you.”
“Of course, I’ll do anything for my lil sis. I love you!”
Yes, I failed my mission of killing Tiger. And I just donated my eyes to Allison at pumunta sa ibang bansa where they cannot easily find us.
Killing Tiger to donate her eyes to my girlfriend is the hardest mission I ever had. Because I cannot kill Tiger who is my little sister.
