A Simple Etiquette (Serenity Series #1)

Sparring

Weeks had past and nothing special happened naman. Even between me and him. Nothing. I didn't even saw him or just his shadow at all in our Casa.

Maski boses niya ay hindi ko man lang narinig sa nakalipas na mga araw. Minsan ay tinanong ko ang mga kasambahay namin kung umuuwi pa ba siya dito ngunit tanging iling lang ang kanilang naisagot.

And an idea came into my mind. That's right! Chris.

Nagtungo agad ako sa likuran ng Casa at nakita siya kasama ang mga iba pang agent sa firing range.

"Chris!" I shouted. The other agent also looked at me and then gave me a salute as a respect.

"Madame!" They shouted as a greetings.

"At ease." I ordered. "Chris, follow me."

I made sure that no one was around us so they won't hear our conversation. It's embarrassing for Freak's sake!

"I-I just..." Tumikhim ako at pinagalitan ang sarili sa isip ko.

"I just want to ask, uhmm...h-have you seen Mr. Ramirez around for these past few weeks?" Tumango siya.

My eyes widened. "When? And why I didn't saw him that time?" Attentive ang ate niyo.

"Paminsan minsan lang po ma'am eh. Hindi rin po magkakatulad ang mga oras na pumupunta siya dito. Pero hindi po lumilipas ang linggo na hindi siya pumupunta dito."

Disappointment wrapped around me. Iniiwasan niya siguro ako matapos ang nangyari noon. Maybe he thinks that I'm a crazy bitch that he needs to avoid.

"I'm not in the right position to disclose any information, ma'am. But he's just busy at this time." He gave me an assuring smile.

"A-alam mo ba kung...nasaan siya."

"I apologized, Ma'am. But I'm not in the position to disclose any information." I sighed, nodded, and gave him a small smile.

He nodded and bowed a bit as a sign of respect. At umalis na.

Lumapit ako sa firing range at naghintay na may matapos. I drew near to an agent woman nang matapos na siya habang iba ay patuloy pa rin sa pagpapaputok ng baril.

"Madame!" She gave a salute. "At ease."

I wore the eye and ear protection before getting the pistol and aimed it at the target. I constantly fired the gun on the target's heart and brain part.

The target drew near to me. I smiled. Nice one, baby! Sapol lahat.

I unloaded the gun and approach Chris. "I want the moving one and with a victim." He nodded.

Sinimulan ko ulit ang pagpapaputok ng baril. Head shot pa nga.

Nang matapos ay napatingin ako sa katabi ko nang makitang parehas kami ng mode na ginagamit. Kung sa akin headshot sa kaniya naman ay sa may bandang puso.

After satisfying myself, I unloaded the gun for safety and removed the eye and ear protection.

"Hey," Tumingin ako sa likuran ko.

I rolled my eyes. Kaya pala. "Gaya gaya ka talaga." Sabay naming sabi kaya napatawa na lang kami.

Lex is wearing the black tactical combat with a gold buttons, she's wearing an all black outfit. Even her boots, a black tactical combat boots.

She's still wearing her holsters with a guns and a black vest.

"Sparring." It's not a question. She's challenging me.
