"PLEASE! This is a misunderstanding! Call Zeus! Tumupad ako sa usapan! Dapat tumupad rin siya!" A man in his late fifties screamed.

He's kneeling on the ground, nakagapos ang mga kamay. Kitang kita ang takot sa mga mata nito na nakatutok sa taong kaharap na hindi naman makilala dahil sa nakatakip sa mukha nitong maskara na kulay itim. Naiiba ang maskara nito, there are black featers around the mask like if it's design or sinadyang idikit doon. Sa likuran nito ay ang tatlo pa nitong kasamahan, may takip rin ang mga mukha na itim na masks pero hindi katulad ng nauhan.

"It's not the only reason why the Chief wants you dead," ani ng taong iyon. "And you know that too."

Waring mas lalong natakot ang lalaki. "H-hindi... Napag usapan na namin ang mga bagay na iyon! Pinatawad na niya ako! Nagawa ko rin ng maayos ang huli naming usapan!"

"How naïve..." The person said in amusement. Lumapit ito sa lalaking nakaluhod at bahagyang naupo para pantayan ang mukha ng lalaki. Inalis nito ang suot na maskara. "Foxy little liar..."

"R-Raven...?" Maang na sambit nito ng makita ng kaniyang mukha. He looks like someone who have seen a ghost as his face became paler. People call her Raven- it's her codename.

"Surprised? Don't be, base sa reaksyon mo alam mo na siguro kung bakit tayo narito sa ganitong sitwasyon. Forgiveness don't exists in Chief's vocabulary. Mukhang hindi mo yata lubos na kilala ang pagkatao ng tatay ko, Ginoo."

"P-pag usapan natin ng maayos ito, Raven! Kahit magkano ibibigay ko sa'yo! Kahit anong gusto mo! Palayain mo lang ako! M-maawa ka sa akin! May pamilya ako!" pagmamakaawa ng lalaki.

"Sana naisip mo iyan before you had a deal with the devil, worst you even betrayed him. Do you think Chief doesn't know the fact that you are selling our informations to his enemies?" Raven stared at him blankly. "Hinukay mo ang sarili mong libingan dahil sa ginawa mong iyon."

"T-that- I- I have no choice! I need money!"

"Of course, greed person like you would do anything for money but that is not my problem anymore. You broke his rules. You know so well how things end up because of that reason alone." Raven stood up, hinarap nito ang tatlong kasamahan. "Leave no trace." sambit niya sa mga ito bago naglakad paalis.

Tumango ang tatlo and they turned to face that him. The man started screaming her name.

"R-Raven! P-please don't do this! Rave- AHHH!"

His screams echoed in the empty, abandoned building. It was't the first time a person calls for her name- begging for mercy like as if they did nothing wrong. Like as if she was the biggest villain in their life.

Sumakay na siya sa sariling sasakyan. She drove away from the place as far as possible. Even though she grew up in this kind of life, some parts of her didn't want to get involved in this business too much. It's exhausting, every mission felt like draining her energy. Killing people is not something she wants in life but she had no choice. It's like a job she didn't want yet she couldn't resign even if she wanted to.

Her phone vibrated from the adjacent seat. She read the caller before answering it.

{Is it done?} It was her older brother.

"Yes, I let the guys clean up the mess. Where's Chief?"

{Kaaalis lang niya kasama si Lincoln. May pulong yata silang pupuntahan. I can't contact Genevieve. Call that girl, nag iinit ang ulo ko sa katigasan ng ulo ng isang iyon.}
