Sanctioned Avenue

Chapter 2

Lunch

Lucianne's POV:

Hindi ko alam kung tama ba 'tong ginagawa kong 'to pero ito na lang ang maaari kong gawin para maprotektahan siya. Well, I have been protecting him ever since didn't I?

Staring at the picture of him while sitting comfortably here in my swiveling chair while spinning it which adds up to the dizziness I was feelig of having another mission that involves him.

Hawak ko ang balpen sa kanan kong kamay with my team while discussing the mentioned mission. My team means the 34, and also the 5. It is a long table here in our conference room where we always talk about the plan and also the mission of something.

My freaking brother is also here for he is the one who has been updating us about him, knowing his every move, protecting him in any possible dangers and backup after their group has been knock out after a wild fight between gangs in our area. Nasamahan pa ng mga political and mafia issues dahil sa ginawang kalokohan ni Nick. Nice nice talaga. Dati pinagtatanggol lang namin siya ng patago sa mga gangs na nakakalaban ng grupo niya ngayon kailangan na namin ng tulong sa agencies pati na rin ng mga pulis kung sakaling umatake ang mga kalaban. Hayup.

"How the f*ck did this happen?" I asked with a mark of annoyance. Fu*cking sh*t, how the f*ck did he get himself in this kind of mess? A political one? Together with a mafia organization? Just the f*ck.

"He...uhm....he kissed a girl in the bar and you know, you know what happens after that." he said while smiling awkwardly.

"What do you mean you know?" Bea asked innocently. What an entrance in my story Bea. Well, meet Bea Belencia or Agent Cia. She has been the innocent one in our team and in our group. We cannot blame her if she don't know these kind of things because she really is pure and innocent in these kind of things. She just joined because she wants a thrill, 'yung thrill na tipong mamamatay ka tapos marerevive ka, magso-spawn ka na lang bigla. Call of Duty: Life Version. Pagkatapos mong mabaril, masaksak, mabomba, magso-spawn ka lang. Astig.

We all turned our heads to her direction which is just 1 seat apart from where I was sitting. Katabi ko ngayon si Aimiesyl, at katabi niya naman si Bea, katabi naman ni Bea ang 3 at ang katabi naman ng 3 ay ang 34 and so on and so on.

Napahilot na lamang si Kuya Luke sa kaniyang sentido dahil sa kainosentahan ni Bea pero sa huli ay inexplain niya na rin ito sa kaniya dahil kita namang hindi niya masisikmura ang babaeng gusto niya. No one sees that but I can see it, it is also an advantage that I have psychological skills and background. I can clearly see it by the way he acts. The way we looks at her, the way he speaks to her, the way he acts whenever she's around, no doubt he's falling for her. But the question is, does she feel the same way about him?

"Ow, okay okay, thank you hehe. Surri pu, I didn't know." ani Bea habang nakayuko na sa kaniyang table at pinaglalaruan ang kaniyang mga kamay sa ilalim ng table.

"It's okay, Bea." I assured her using my soft-spoken voice. Nag-angat siya ng tingin at nginitian ako, I smiled at her too feeling what she was feeling. Nakakahawa talaga ang pagngiti niya, I can't help the feeling to smile back at her.

"Gem understands you, she's been there," tumawa si Aimiesyl ng mahina bago magaptuloy, "kahit naman ngayon, I can hear her asking Sadome about the things she's really curious about." Aimiesyl said so we attentively listened to her while giggling about it. It's our rule, to always listen and understand who was currently talking because they know I don't like people who aren't listening. I know the feeling of being unheard that's why in my team, you should always listen attentively.
