Seventh Agent (Tantei High)

Forty-Five

I'm warning you right now. Hahahaha. >.<

Akemi.

Fix things with Hiro. Fix things with Hiro.

Fix things.

"Magso-sorry ka lang pero bakit ang hirap?"

Tri-ny kong magpakamatay, in the lamest way possible. Uy, hindi ka mamatay gamit ang unan. If you really want to die try pointing a gun at your head. For sure dun ka mamatay Akemi. And people will always remember you as an idiot that won't apologize.

Akemi, madami pang ibang po-problemahin. Mamaya na yan. Lux is in danger and we need to get her out there as soon as possible. With teamwork- na wala kami since galit sa akin si Hiro at ayaw niyang maki-cooperate... plan failed.

May chance ka Akemi! Mamaya, may gathering ng lahat ng students and staffs sa Tantei High and you can say sorry to Hiro without him avoiding you. Bakit ko kinakausap sarili ko? I'm going nuts.

'I can read your thoughts."

I shivered. Is Hiro here with me? Duh, use your sixth sense! Tumingin ako sa paligid and I can feel someone a meter away from me. Sobrang close niya na pero bakit hindi ko pa din siya makita?

'Maybe you're looking the wrong way. Gamitin ang mata, Akemi.'

Ginagamit ko! And why is he speaking in a mocking manner? That's an insult for me since sixth sense ko ay yung mata ko, and bakit ba waka talaga akong makitang bakas ng pagmumukha ni Hi-

"Boo."

I am supposed to scream, right at this very moment. Pero parang nawalan ako ng boses and my eyes widened. The wind blew and his hair is hitting my face. I can feel him breathe. Too close. Too. Close.

"I could invade your lips right now."

What? What? My mind went blank and all I can think of is what Hiro said. Invade? My lips? He could do that. At, anong mangyayari pagkatapos? Syempre, you would forget it kunwari like in the movies. Pero hindi movie ito!

He went closer.. Closer. But 3 seconds later, wala paring nangyari. And I heard a soft laugh coming from the guy who just teased me.

"Nakakainis ka." with my palm, I smacked his face away.

Bumaba na siya sa punong inuupuan niya kanina pa. Kaya pala hindi ko siya makita he's not in my sight, nasa taas siya! Kaya aura lang siguro ang nare-receive ng sense ko. That black aura of his na nakakainis.

Umupo siya sa tabi ko and both of us watched as the sun sets. Sabi nila, ang taong kasama mong makita ang sunset makakasama mo hanggang sunrise. The end and the beginning.

"Akemi, nainis ka diba?" I shot a glare at him at um-oo, "That's beyond what I felt when you left us worried."

Sorry. "I.. Hindi ko kayo iniwan."

"You did," the wind blew again, "What if they killed you? It's okay if you're not the first person I see when I wake up, just be there went it's the last."

Sorry. "Ginawa ko yun para protektahan kayo. I can be brave, I can fight for all of you."

"You don't need to fight for us."

"Sorry, okay? Sorry." I whispered.

"Are we in a movie?" he said breaking the silence.

How can he just be casual about it? Na parang after ng confrontation dapat magalit pa siya sa akin since my excuses are so shallow. Hindi ako yung tipo ng taong dapat patawarin when I worried them all.

"You see," lumingon siya sa akin, "We need to protect each other. Hindi lang ikaw yung magpo-protekta sa aming lahat."

"Noted." sabi ko at ngumiti ng malaki sa kanya.

So I guess I fixed things with Hiro.

I smiled while watching the stars above. Matapos ang sunset, stars ang sasalubong sayo. Which is a great sight to see lalo na sa sobrang daming mapait na eksena.

2 days since we started monitoring the Adams' mafia's mansion. With an invisible drone, nakapag-plant sila ng ant-sized cameras all over the place. We made Tantei High invisible to a humdrum's eye. With a dome that replicates a forest.

Nalaman namin na the Adams' searched for us day and night. Since the drone planted a camera on Lux's father's office. Nagpadala siya ng sulat sa search team ng mafia nila at habang sinusulat nila ito ay clear kong nababasa.

"The girl. Find the girl quickly. We need her."

That freaked me out. Ako ang hinahanap nila, for what purpose?

"We found Lux, nandoon siya sa dating cell ni Akemi. And she's looking pale." sabi ni Ken habang tinitignan ang monitor, "Please do something, kailangan na natin siyang maalis dyan."

Usually when Ken shows her concern for Lux, hihirit si Akane and would give a hint of jealousy. Pero ngayon? She focused on the monitor and looked at both of me and Hiro.

"Please.. we need to save her from that filthy mafia."

Maybe she now thinks of Lux as her friend. That's nice.

"So, what's the plan?"

We all went brainstorming, ideas here and there but there's always a hole in it na pwedeng pumalpak. We need a hundred percent sure plan. Katulad ng ginawa nila sa amin, they almost succeded.

And, Carrie died because of us. Nalaman ni Lux na ginamit namin yung machine na iyon to change bodies. She blocked all of the examinations about her memory progress with a drug. We may be rich in techs but they know how to use drugs.

"Ano ba yung drug na ginagamit nila?" tanong ko. I just know it's a drug, but I don't know what it does.

"It's an experimental one. Sa page-examine namin, they used an illegal chemical na ini-improve ang defence system ng body na umiinom ng drug nila," sabi ni Sir Hiroshi, "But, it has a high risk of death. Kaya experimental pa lang."

"Can we use their drug?"

Without thinking I blurted it out. Kung ito lang ng paraan na pwede namin silang talunin, fire against fire method, gagawin ko yun. Or, namin yun, if they cooperate with me. "This is probably ridiculous. So sorr-"

"No, you're right."

Nagulat kaming lahat sa sinabi ni Ms. Reina. How am I right?

"Sabi niyo po it has a high risk of death. Do you want to take that risk?" protesta ni Hiro.

"We are in Tantei High, where normal is not in our vocabulary. They can produce the drug but we can make it better."
