Beginning of an End (Agent Series #03)

Chapter 22

FREELANCERS

Jay's POV

"Looks can be deceiving,"

I agreed at Major Del Rosario after one of my teammate, Renz, said that one of our main target the past months was a beauty. She's a beauty, yes, but when you read her biographies about her wrongdoings, you'll regret it immediately.

Her name's Allison Freya Legaspi Alcantara. Filipina. She's a freelance photograher slash contract assassin. I've encountered a lot of women like her these past few years in the Army.

We believe that they are in the same group. Like the camp who trained me to be a mercenary back then. General Abalos gave this assignment to us so we're pinning every pictures and intel we got from the past operations that's connected to this thing.

I will not deny that they're very skilled in hiding in the shadows. We managed to take a hold in some of their echelons but we failed and lost some soldiers instead. It's not easy to trace and catch them without someone getting killed.

The only concrete conclusion we have as of now was they have a lot of members were around the world. An organization, surely. They orchestrated a lot of attacks recently, even finding the ones who did it was hard.

"So we're gonna get her? Where?" Captain Vigazon asked him. "Maybe we can ask for some help in CIA? MI6? MI6's surely have something."

"Cap's right, Major," Tommy agreed, nodding his head while playing with his lips using his thumb and index finger. "We managed to get her biography. We can trace her footsteps this time."

"Let's say that we managed to grab a hold of her, are we sure that she's the only one there?" Eddie asked while chewing a gum. His feet on the coffee table.

"Oo nga. Magpustahan ba tayo kung sinong mamamatay?" we glared at Kael when he said that. This idiot. "Joke lang, boss. Kung anong plano niyo, diyan ako."

"You're an Alpha for nothing," Major Del Rosario remarked as he threw a glass of bottle to Kael but he caught it with his hands smirking. "We're going tomorrow. Use the rest of this day for intel gathering."

"Roger!" we answered in unison. I sat beside Kael before taking one gum from his bowl. He looked at me unbelievably before shaking his head. "Inang to, oh. Magpaalam ka naman sa susunod."

"Thanks," I smiled at him sarcastically. I was quick to catch an apple that was about to hit my face mid way before giving Tommy a flat stare. "Fucker."

"Hindi mo na binalita sa amin si Miss Ganda mo, ah!" he jumped just beside me kaya umalog 'yung sofa. I leaned my back to the back rest before shaking my head. Hindi pa pala sila tapos diyan.

"She's not mine," I told him firmly. She's referring to Claire. These idiots kept on shipping me to her pero alam kong may gusto na siya sa Phoenix. It's obvious. The one who replaced Harvin as the leader of the Private Protection Group. Kane Ibarra.

"'Wag kang papansin. Hindi nga gusto, eh! Sirang plaka ka ba?!" Kael shouted at him. I closed my eyes out of irritation before standing up and walking away before I could hear them fight again.

Mag-aaway lang ulit sila diyan. Parang hindi sila professional. Halimaw sa field but when it comes to this office or outside-the-field, they're childish as hell. Kung sila Major kayang tagalan 'tong mga 'to, ako hindi.

I stepped out of our room for a moment to buy some drinks. I pulled the hem of my combat uniform before taking the elevators to lead me on the cafeteria at the ground floor.

Just as the elevetor door slid open, I saw Major Del Rosario waiting outside. "Hey. I have a news."

I stepped out from the elevator before pacing with him. "Yeah? About Freya?"
