SECRET MOVE

Chapter Eight

A/N: Unedited

Athena Grace Flac

Nang makatulog na ang guard dahil sa tranquilizer na tinutok ni Sharpay sa kanya. I didn't waste a second.  I hurried over to their security cameras to check all the CCTV and gather all the information they have. Honestly, a knot of anxiety and fear tightened in my stomach, knowing that the rogue agent's team could arrive at any moment. This was my first mission, and though of it, couldn't shake off this feeling.

Kung hindi namin tutulungan si Jade pare-parehas kaming makukulong at yung mga kasama namin ay hindi makakalaya. I just hope our faces haven't hit the news yet. I don't want to be famous for this.

"Okay, we gotta check all the rooms in this place. There's gotta be a team working hard to decode that key," Sharpay explained as she scanned the screens.

We scanned all the screens, but it seemed like there was hardly anyone in this building. Just then, I spotted an empty room with only a glass case in the center.

"Sharpay, do you think that key's in that vault?" I asked.

"Oh gosh! Yeah, it looks like..." Sharpay said, her eyes wide. She turned to me, her voice dropping to a whisper. "Listen, Athena. We need to hack into their system and find out whatever we can about the security measures in that vault."

"Wait Sharpay, paano?"

"Do what Jade taught you earlier... You got this, Athena. I'm gonna be by the door to keep an eye out." Sharpay said, firmly.

I hesitated for a moment, but Sharpay's words spurred me on. I nodded and gave her a tight smile.

"Okay, got it!" I replied, and Sharpay and I set to work.

Minutes passed, I was totally lost in my work, when suddenly my eyes flitted to one of the screens.

"Uh, Sharpay? Remember what Jade told us about her ex? I mean yung first love nya na sobrang mahal na mahal nya, kaso niloko sya. Tapos kagaya din nyang agent pero under ng Charlie Division?"

"Hmmn.. yeah.." mahinang sagot nya.

"Didn't she say she's a skinny supermodel type, with lovely black healthy hair, perfect jawline, and very, very long legs?  Like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley?"

"Yeah, that's exactly how he described her ex... Why?" Sharpay asked, her brow furrowing.

"Well, if we don't scram outta here in the next three minutes and you don't tell Jade not to come here? I think they're about to be reunited with her ex."

Sharpay straightened up and walk towards me, her eyes widened as she saw the screen. Magsasalita pa sana ako, but Sharpay grabbed my hand and we run out and down to the corridor like crazy. Suddenly, security alarms started blairing all over the building.
