My Only Secret

Chapter 40

Hunt and Axel stood at the edge of the ocean, the moon casting a silver glow over the dark waters.

Hunt checked his gear for what felt like the hundredth time, his eyes scanning every detail with precision. He strapped on his tactical vest, loaded with extra ammo and grenades. Axel, meanwhile, adjusted his holster, ensuring his pistol was secure and ready for use.

The sound of the waves crashing against the shore provided a rhythmic beat as they moved into position.

Hunt's eyes narrowed as he stood beside Axel, their voices hushed but urgent. "It's just us two, Axel," Hunt said, his voice low and serious. "It's going to get dangerous from here on out."

Axel's gaze remained steady, his expression unwavering. "I know what we're getting ourselves into, Hunter."

Hunt's jaw clenched, his eyes flicking towards the darkness beyond the boat. "I'm actually considered to be breaking protocol right now for leaving the President behind. After all this, I could get in trouble."

Axel's grin spread, a slow and deliberate curve of his lips. "My loyalty goes to you, Hunter, whatever you do, I do." he said, his voice steady.

With a nod, Hunt took off at a sprint, plunging into the icy waters. Axel followed close behind, their movements fluid and practiced as they swam out to sea.

As they swam, they kept their heads slightly above water, scanning the horizon for any signs of danger. The darkness seemed to swallow them whole, but they pressed on, not even resting.

Hunt's eyes locked onto a faint light in the distance - the boat. His heart rate increased as he kicked harder, propelling himself through the water. Axel kept pace beside him, their strokes synchronized as they drew closer to their target.

With one final stroke, Hunt pulled himself onto the boat's railing, hoisting himself up with ease. Axel followed suit, their bodies moving in perfect sync. As they reached the deck, Hunt immediately assessed their surroundings.

Two guards stood watch, armed but oblivious to their presence.

Hunt flashed Axel a quick glance before taking off at a sprint towards the guards. Axel followed close behind, their movements lightning-fast and deadly.

Mukhang madugo nanaman ang gagawin nila.

Sa banda naman ni Ryder ay inatasan siya ng mga nakakataas na samahan si Kevin papuntang Malacañang dahil sa kanya ipinagkatiwala ni Hunt ang code para sa pagbukas ng bunker.

Ryder stepped out of the car, his eyes scanning the heavily guarded perimeter of the Malacañang Palace. Kevin followed closely behind, his own eyes fixed on the grandiose structure with amusement.

"Wow! This place is so grand!" Komento nito.

"Let's get this over with," Ryder growled, his voice low and even as he instruct his men to follow behind them.

Kevin fell into step beside him, his eyes glinting with a cold calculation. "I'm excited to speak with the President," he said, his voice dripping with insincerity.

Ryder's eyes narrowed. "I'm sure you do."

As they approached the Bunker, Ryder could feel the weight of the Philippine flag bearing down on him. This was a moment of recklessness, going against protocol and custom. But they had no choice. Until Hunt saves Raven, they had to dance in the palm of this bastard.

Agad silang tinutukan ng baril ng mga tauhan ni Hunt na nakatayo sa labas ng bunker.

Ryder immediately raised his hands in surrender. "Hunt sent me. Ryder Miller." Pakilala niya.
