AS 01: Agent Uno | Cathleen Valecerina

"CALM YOURSELF. You don't look like the Agent Uno I've known." Ani ni Oncé sa akin habang pinapaharurot ang motor palayo. Dahil doon, nabalik ako sa sistema at agad na bumitaw sa kaniya, pinaikot ang hawak kong bag paharap, dinukot ang denotator roon at pinasabog ang gusali kung saan nakita ko pang nagtatangkang sumunod ang mga nakalaban ko.

"Sorry you had to witness that, and thank you for saving me," I told him before holding my bag back and holding onto the rear portion of the motorcycle.

"No worries. We all have our weaknesses; after all, we are still humans." Ani nito habang nakasulyap sa akin mula sa side mirror. I looked at him for a while before using my contact lenses to access something.

"Patz, check Body's watch and track his location." Utos ko kay Patz habang mabilis paring pinapaharurot ni Agent Oncé ang motorsiklo.

"Agent, Body left his watch to Head before leaving headquarters." Balita sa akin ni Patz.

"Then check all the cameras and find out where he went before disappearing. Flash every finding you got on my contact lenses." I told her. Videos from different angles and cameras flashed on my contact lenses briefly.

"He used the car Patz. Try to track that down. That's one of the luxury cars from our organization." Ani ko nang mapansing ginamit niya ang sasakyang regalo sa amin ng triplets nung kaarawan ko.

"On it, Agent," Patz answered.

I was getting increasingly nervous as the seconds passed. While watching every footage, my intuition on who's behind this strengthens. I have a person in mind right now, and if I can prove that he is the one behind this, I don't know if I would still have mercy for him once I see his shadow.

"Patz, back to that footage, please," I told her when something caught my eye.

"What about this Agent?" She asked as we were reviewing the footage.

"Wait. Stop it right there." I told her. "Zoom into that car and get the plate number clear," I said again as the car became more familiar.

"There Agent." Ani naman ni Patz nang matapos niya at tama nga ang hinala ko.

"That bastard just started a merciless war against me." I immediately said as my body started shaking in anger.

"Do you know something about this Agent Uno?" narinig ko naman ang boses ni Head.

"You're with Head right now?" tanong ko kay Patz.

"Yes, Agent. We're both trying to find out where Body disappeared and who did it." Sagot ni Patz sa akin.

"That car is the same familiar car tailing Body around. It started a few weeks before the beach incident. I also saw it being used by one of Clerivious Minreal's goons during our funeral encounter. Track where that car went, and we'll talk properly when I arrive." Ani ko sa kanila bago isinara lahat ng footage na nakikita ko mula sa aking contact lenses.

"On it Agent." Sabay na sagot ni Patz at Head sa akin kaya bahagya akong napanatag na mahahanap ko agad si Zealous bago pa man may mangyaring masama. His clever father has the guts to kill his own best friend, lie to his family and become a merciless leader of a great syndicate, the main reason why I think it won't be hard for him to hurt his own son.

Masama ang titig ko sa daan dahil sa namumuong galit sa loob ko ngunit hindi ko rin mapigilang maluha dahil sa labis na pag-aalala. The beach incident was just a stroke of luck because the distance was too close for me to push him out of the way. The funeral incident was also lucky because he was not there when we had an encounter. I don't think I could be lucky three times in a row, which makes me more worried. There's a possibility I could lose him because of dragging him into my perilous world.
