Red 18

Renz's POV

"Guys! We have a new assignment." Anunsyo ko sa SHADOWS nang nagkumpulan na kaming lahat ng myembro dito sa hideout namin. And also, Fia is here, with her butler.

"What assignment?" Tanong ni Solomon. Tumango na lang ako at inisa-isang inabot sa kanila ang folder na naglalaman ng impormasyon na kailangan namin.

"We will be having a undercover job. Habang kumakalap pa tayo ng ebidensya tungkol ito sa kumakalat na RED drugs umano dito sa Pinas. And the rumored source is the ROSE Club in Novaliches. It's been said that they are also in human trafficking for sexual slavery. At ang malala pa, mga minor de edad pa ang mga 'yon. So we need more evidence for the court to handle this case."

Wala namang umaangal sa kanila, kaya nagpatuloy na ako.

"Tuwing magkakaroon tayo ng kanya kanyang designated roles sa bar na 'yon. Sina Retzehl at Fia, kayong dalawa tuwing MWF. Then Blake and Zach every Tuesday and Thursday. While Oliver and Solomon will be in charge of investigating the leader of this all. Are we all clear?"

"Yes, Boss."

"That's all for the day, dismissed." Iyon na lang sinabi ko at nagmamadaling umalis, pero nagulat ako nang nasa pinto na ako aya naagap pa rin ni Fia ang braso ko.

"Renz,"

"Yes?" I asked innocently.

"Let's talk." Saad niya, pinagtitinginan na kami ng ibang kasamahan namin kaya tinanggal ko ang pagkakahawak niya.

"Not now. I'm going in a meet--" I was stopped by her fist, that's when I blew up.

"I said we are going to talk! You'll obey me or I'll beat you up! " Maawtoridad ang tono ng boses niya, pero bumuntong hininga lang ako.

"Not now," I said and left. Ha! No need for discussions, we're at our end. That's supposed to be it.

After few days of undercover we decided to hold a meeting again for updates.

"Zehl, did you get the list of investors and suspicious clients of the club?"

Si Zehl ang tinatanong ko, pero biglang tumayo sa kinauupuan niya si Fia at lumapit sa akin na nasa harapan nila. Inabot niya ang isang folder.

"That's the list." She said and sat down again. Hindi ko muna tinignan, nagpatuloy na muna ako sa pagbigay pa ng utos.

"It will be better if next meeting we have a sample drug. We can examine the drug at the same time we can pass it to prove that the red drug does exist in the Philippines already."

Nagsitanguan naman sila, kaya tinapos ko na ang meeting. Pero nagulat ako nang pagbukas ko sa folder na inabot kanina ni Fia ay may nakasulat rito.

Come home with me. -Fia

"What is this?" I questioned the lady still standing at the doorway of the meeting room.

"Samahan mo ako," she said and then smile.

"I'm busy; I have important matters to attend to."

"What matter? About NBI?"

"Yeah." I answered shortly. Saka ako ang lakad papunta sa pinto, pero hinarangan niya ako.
