The Ruthless Assassin

Bullet 12

(Knight)

I drove off quickly nang matanggap ko ang text ni Clide. I'm on my way to his place para siyasatin ang mga nalaman nya. We're in the middle of searching for Montecarlo's daughter, at mahigit isang buwan na but we always fail nailing her. Kung hindi low class, isang binayaran ang nahahanap namin.

And we know that Montecarlos know what we are up to. They have Crow Organization, and they're beating us off. Clides parents, and my dad, are members of Daiamondo. We are loyal members of Tito Jacob's clan. Kami ang pumoprotekta sa kanila. The men in blacks on their house, tauhan namin silang lahat. Daiamondo's security are being managed by my clan, kaya sa akin naiwan ang responsibilidad sa pamamahala ng university.

Clide is my cousin, pero ang gunggong na yun, ayaw magtino. Tumigil sya sa pag aaral ane instead hiningi nya na ang mana nya and started his own business. Now, sya na ang nag susupply ng latest security equipment sa buong Daiamondo, here and abroad. Well, not bad after all. Hindi nya rin naman kase gusto ang mag aral. Tsk.

I just parked my car same spot sa labas ng building nya and headed off to his office. I found him banging his secretary again. I shooked my head at tumikhim para matigil sila. And I succeeded. Nagmadaling nag ayos ang babae na kanina lang ay nakaupo sa kandungan nya. I ordered her to lock the door and so she did.

"Kaya pala walang sumalubong sa akin, you're banging your new secretary again. Tsk. Pailan na ba yan?" I grinned at pinagtaasan nya lang ako ng kilay. This playboy.

"Good afternoon too Knight." Pabirong sagot nya and asked me afterwards to occupy the seat in front of him.

"Here's the infor--

"Coffee will be fine." I smirked. That's how Clide works, hindi hospitable, no doubt wala syang seryosong relationshit ngayon. He's so straight forward. 'Pag nagtrabaho sya, trabaho talaga. He'll be focus, at kapag natapos, siguradong pulido. Wala syang pasikot sikot pa, and that's what Chans and I like about him. Trabaho ang inuuna.

"Here." Busangot nya akong hinarap matapos ilapag sa harapan ko ang isang tasa ng brewed coffee na nakapatong pa sa maliit na platito.

"How did you get this informations?" I asked as I took a sip from the mug. Masusi kong binulatlat ang lahat ng pahina ng halos tatlumpong mga papel na nakasalansan sa lamesa nya.

"I have my own ways Knight, trust me." Mayabang na sagot nya and crossed his legs. Napailing na lang ako. This one maybe boastful sometimes. Tsk.

"She's pretty." I blurted out after I saw her pictures. Chinky eyes, rosy cheeks and thin lips, no wonder she's what we're looking for.

"Ikaw na ang bahalang magbigay kay Chans, I'll be busy with something sa mga darating na araw." He shrugged off at iniabot sa akin ang folder na pinaglagyan nya ng mga iyon kanina. He's always ready with that.

"Is that the assignment that Tito Jacob gave you? Are you sure about that? I mean, dapat pa ba tayong makialam dun?" I asked as I put the folder on my case. I am doubtful about what he'll do this coming days, baka mapahamak sya, or worst si Chans pa ang makapatay sa kanya.

"Tito Jacob knows everything Knight, sya na ang bahala sa akin. After all, I trust him, alam nya ang ginagawa nya. Just cooperate okay?" He's eyeing me at alam kong seryoso sya. Ngayon ko lang sya nakitang ganito kadeterminado that he even offered his hand for a shake hands-- that's what we do when closing a remark or more of a promise. A closing sign.

"Siguraduhin mo lang na sagot mo 'ko after this." I accepted his offer and headed off to the parking lot.

Hindi ko muna ibibigay at ipaaalam kay Chans ang mga 'to. I'll just let that Onyx girl make her move, in a short span of time, sana nga mahulog sa kanya si Chans. Because after this, no one knows what will happen.
