Comrades in Action Book 2: Aiden Montaniez

Is this it?

Tonight is the big night. Nakaupo siya sa harap ng salamin habang inaayos ng stylist ang buhok niya. She wore her hair in a chignon style to go along with her Alexander Macqueen long gown.

"Gorgeous!"Masayang wika ng stylist niyang si Rhona na ikinangiti niya.

"Thanks to you."

"Actually, wala naman akong effort na ginawa dahil dati na kayong maganda miss Dominica."

"Nambola ka pa.."

"Eh truthness naman no!"

"Sira. O siya, paki-abot na lang iyang clutch bag ko para makababa na ako."

"Okay, here it is! Have fun!"

"I will." Binuksan na niya ang pintuan at lumabas na.

-

"For goodness sake, kung gusto mong lapitan, lapitan mo. Stop throwing daggers on their backs."

"Backs? Whos backs are you referring too?" Cole who have no idea why he's here anyway butted in.

"The pair over there, slow poke." Naiinis na sagot ni Mason.

"If you haven't noticed, there are so many bloody backs in this ballroom genius." Cole rolled his eyes as he loosened the tie he's wearing. "God, this suit feels like a bloody guillotine."

"Don't talk to Versacè like that!" Mason said appalled as he arranged Cole's tie carefully like the suit is the freaking crown of England!

"Versa... what?"

Mason just rolled his eyes, "Bless your poor tastes.." Iiling iling na wika nito.

Samantalang siya ay ibinalik lang ang tingin sa dalawang taong masayang nakikipagkamayan sa mga bisita. And he found her partner too close to her for his own liking.

"Dude, youre being creepy."

"Who's being creepy?" An irritating minx butted in.

"Aiden." Sagot ni Mason.

"Why is your panties in a bunch tonight, Aiden sweet?"

"Shut up Cece! And I don't wear that.. that thing." He hissed. Kahit kailan talaga, napaka-kulit nito. But then, the little minx just giggled.

"It's just a phrase, Aiden."

"Yeah, you don't have to make it literal." Mason chimed in.

"Shut up, Mason!"

"Oh, you know I love the pissed Aiden. Don't you, Chasey?" She cooed at Chase who is already beside her grinning like a bloody monkey.

"Ugh, enlighten me again why you, you, you, and you are here pissing the hell out of me?" Iritang sabi niya kina Cole, Mason, Cece at Chase.

Cece pouted, "Don't you want your adorable angel in your presence, Aiden sweet?" She askedin her award winning puppy dog eyes that none of them, as in none of them had ever had the guts to say no to.

He let out a loud groan mentally knowing that he could never win. Cece is like their baby sister. She started in their team when he was twenty one and she was fourteen. Yeah, she was too young to be joining any military team at that age but she is special. She was brought at the base during a terrorist attack that their team handled in Afganistan. Ayon kay Cole na siyang nagdala kay Cece sa base nila, nakita daw nito ito na nagtatago sa basement ng lumang bahay na ni-raid nila. They disperesed at that time and Cole happened to stumble on that old abandoned house.

Noong una, wala sa amin ang may gustong kunin si Cece sa team. They have their rules and one of those rules is to never trust just anyone.

And she was a stranger. They had a hard time lowering their guards around her since alam naman nila na hindi na bago para sa mga terorista ang paggamit ng mga bata sa mga digmaan. It is a very effective strategy, using child soldiers to do missions because it often leads to more successful ones. Who would suspect a child anyway? Worst, who would have the guts to bore a bullet in a child's head?
