My grip tightened when I pulled the trigger of my gun. The target stand shows a headshot.
"Impressive, Miss Alfonso!" My trainer shouted.
I remain passive as I release another bullet again. After three consecutive shots, the three target stands show the same result.
I pressed the safe mode of my gun and placed it on the table. I didn't also wear any protection today, as I am used to it. After talking with my trainer, a group of men in suits came inside the firing room.
Isang tango lang ang ibinigay ko sa mga tauhan at lahat sila ay nagsilabasan. Kahit si Bryan din na nalilito ay sumabay sa agos ng mga tauhan na lumabas.
"Good evening, Ma'am!" Magkasabay na bati ng limang lalaki sa akin.
I crossed my legs in front of them. "How's your investigation?"
"We've recovered a dead CCTV near the cafe the night you're visiting, and we found these." They handed me a small brown envelope. It contained four pictures when I opened it. "We are sure that this person was the one who destroyed the other CCTVs."
He's wearing a grey hoodie and mask; that's why they can't scan his face. Cunning, but it's way too common for people who want to assassinate me.
"He's wearing a Patek Philippe Ref. 1518; he must have come from a wealthy family," I muttered.
"We've also done research about his watch, ma'am. It was auctioned last 2014 in Ireland," Raeger, the one who led the investigation, answered. "Unfortunately, we were blocked by their system, so we cannot find who bought the rare watch. I'm sorry, ma'am, we cannot do anything."
I put the pictures back in their envelope and placed them on the table near me.
"It's alright. You guys might get in trouble if you'll interfere with their data systems. Your investigation ends now. I'll just transfer my money to your bank accounts. You may now leave." They all nodded and left the room.
I took a deep breath as I placed both of my hands on the table to support me. I was almost killed last month at my cafe. Luckily, the bullet hits my purse, and I just got a small bruise. Hindi ko alam kung sinadya ba nitong hindi ako tamaan sa kritikal na parte o pumalya lang ito.
If this guy really came from a wealthy family, then there's a high possibility that I know him.
But what's his reason why he tried to kill me?
My brows furrowed from that thought. Money? I don't think so. He's wearing a rare and expensive watch, so he doesn't want money.
My grip tightened as I held my gun.
Gun is my sanctuary on a battlefield, while bullet is my salvation.
And when you meet my bullets, you'll be forever in peace.
