Beginning of an End (Agent Series #03)

ELECTIONS

Jay's POV

"How annoying,"

I shook my head while watching Elijah's sister through my laptop. I'm not yet sure if that "threat" is already gone so I am monitoring her movements and her whereabouts.

I won't access anything into the system of Philippine Army because I don't want Major and his team to be scolded by the General again because of helping me. Also, I know how to hack any camera so it's just a piece of cake to find his sister.

Well, based on what I watched the past hours, her sister is a negative one. Even small things irritated her. Expensive, tall, braggy and she loved to curse. I can't even believe when she cursed an old woman earlier because she was on her way.

She's currently having a talk with someone, her friend, perhaps. It's a tall guy smoking and my brow raised when he rubbed Venice's buttocks and it seemed like the latter is enjoying it.

A bad news, indeed.

I pulled some strings to identify the guy and I wasn't surprised when I found out that he was a high profile, someone that Venice would love to hang-out with.

His name is Kenzo Villaruel. The first son of the owner of Villaruel Medicals. The highest and most famous hospital in the country. His records are not that pretty. He was involved in a countless of brawls, always connected to the circle of Venice. In short, the knight.

"Ah, fuck.." I looked at them when they started making out. I don't know if these two high profile people are aware that they are receiving threats and despite that, they still had the guts to make out at somewhere open.

And I don't know if their parents do care for them anymore. I heard that ever since Elijah disappeared without a trace, his father became a not-like-himself guy. He took a hit and I guess he is having a hard time shaking it off.

I diverted my gaze to my phone when I saw it lit up. I saw a message from Safirah so I grabbed it before reading the message she sent.

Safirah Alonzo: hi kuya!!! we're here at the room already. nagdinner ka na ba?

Shit. I forgot to eat my dinner because I was monitoring the girl for the whole time. I typed a reply while looking at my laptop before sending it.

I told her that I ate snacks which was true but I didn't eat any dinner yet. I heard that Manang Cecilia earlier and she seemed so sad about whatever the caller said. Hindi ko tuloy alam kung dapat ba akong magtanong o hindi.

Safirah didn't reply after that so I guess that she was already sleeping. I looked at the time in my laptop and almost punched myself for staying up so late.

12:22 AM.

Before I was about to stand up, I remembered something before opening my desk drawer. There, I saw a long and thick drive with an name in a paper taped in front of it.

'Victoria'.

It was the natural language UI that Grandpa gave us years ago. A natural language user interface system that can be installed to our gadgets.

Our house also has one, Grandpa called him 'Xeno', the name of his deceased and great butler before Keanne. Him, on the other hand, is an artificial intelligence who also handles the mansion's security, Z Technologies and some projects associated with it. He runs more of the company than anyone aside from Grandpa.

Our grandfather taught us on how to use this UI and I can remember it clearly so after minutes of typing, a newly-uploaded system in my screen popped up.
