Beginning of an End (Agent Series #03)

Chapter 27

WORRIES

Third Person's POV

"What the hell was that?!"

Jay looked down to improve his acting towards his superior. General Ibañez wanted him back on the Philippines after he failed to acquire the subject hours ago.

"I'm sorry, sir. My cover was blown and I was expecting it, yet I didn't prepare a back-up plan," Jay said with his apologetic voice.

When in fact, it was the OSI agents led by Harvin who stormed the underground hideout 10 hours ago. They were the ones who Jay talked with as his contingency plan if his cover was gonna blow.

He's now assured and he's trusting the agency to take care of the subject he was supposed to get rid of, or the subject the AFP traitors were going to use as a weapon. As of now, his only problems were the hot eyes he's going to get soon and his love ones' safety.

"This is super surprising. I never heard an Alpha Unit losing a mission, neither failing it even if they were so close. What happened, First Lieutenant Alonzo?" Ibañez asked again.

"Hindi na ho mauu-"

Ibañez cut him off. "You know what? You're dismissed. I don't want seeing your face around here anymore. I'll talk to your Spec Ops superior about your failure."

Jay faked a salute as he grabbed his military cap. He walked towards the door and the moment he closed it when he was already outside, he shook his head.

"You'll soon expose your real intentions, Ibañez," he said in his mind before putting his military cap over his head.

Claire's POV

"Eat, ma'am. I was told to force you because you're not eating for days."

Annoyed.

That's what I'm feeling right now. They can't just stop forcing me to eat, kahit na ayaw ko pang kumain. I kept on declining the food minutes already at hindi pa rin siya tumitigil. Nagsasayang lang ako ng laway.

The whole virus thing was still bothering me to the core. I'm trying to remember who I were with before I lost my consciousness last night but I couldn't. The doctor said that it was an after effect because the virus played its role in my brain.

I'm still happy that my parents were safe and still alive. I was really scared that it might be true, the last thing I remembered before I lost my consciousness was I was crying on their bodies. I was with Alian-

And Alianna.. she's currently in isolation too, because of me. How can I be so aggressive and sure at the same time? I'm sure I got it from the body back at Dubai and the doctor confirmed it.

Good thing was she was briefed beforehand about the effects of the virus but she can still experience hallucinations, that's what I was scared about. She's too young and even if she was trained before, death was not something she can deal with in just a second.

Also my parents, Aubrey, Zyron, Agent Campbell and people I encountered after the operation. They're all in isolation in their respective rooms.

Harvin and Gwy, on the other hand, was cleared because they were wearing a serum that can keep them from inhaling anything from the virus because they were the ones who encountered it first.

They're currently multiplying it so the operatives that will take the mission about this virus will be safe and won't have to experience the same fate I did.
