Azure: The Retired Assassin

Azure 29

Last night was in a way disappointing since I failed to see those MIB's and the fact that they're connected with the underground world is daunting. They are the closest lead that I have right now in finding my mother and their involvement in the pit makes me wonder of what kind of person is the woman that gave birth to me.

Now, it's the start of another school week and my wound still stings but it's bearable. I refrain from thinking about last night and just grab my helmet and head out for school. But I was surprised when I saw Sy leaning against the wall beside my door. "Sy?"

He stood straight and faced me with a wrinkled forehead. "Why the hell are you bringing that?" He asked pointing at my helmet. Like seriously, saan ba ginagamit ang helmet?

"Malamang magmomotor ako." I answered wryly.

He suddenly snatched the helmet  from me and lightly shoved me away from the door and he entered like a boss. "What the hell Sy?" I reach for the helmet but he hides it on his back. "We're going to be late c'mon."

"You're not driving anything, not today." He just drops it off the sofa and literally drags me outside. He even locked the door himself and then drags me again towards the lift. No one was inside the lift but us and I was currently throwing killer look at him. "You're going with me." He said with his eyes focus on the door.

"I'm not crippled you know." I said with a sigh of defeat. I felt like I can't change his mind anymore at isa pa malalate na talaga kami.

"Nobody said you are. C'mon." He was still dragging me up to his car and I chose to ignore those snooping stares from the others who saw us. Besides I basically don't give a fuck about what they think of me as long as I have done nothing wrong. And this ain't wrong, I think.

"Yung kamay ko Sy." Hawak nya kasi yung magaling kong kamay and I don't want to strain my wounded arm, not when those ninjas were around and the fact that my lead is connected to the gangster association. I need all the strength that I could have.

Mabilis naman nya itong pinakawalan and open the door for me. "You're unusually kind today." I commented but he just scornfully looked at me. Like he's telling me to shut the fuck up.

"Tss." I heard him hissed before closing the door.

Our ride to the school is awfully quiet. His sudden change makes me think. He was not the same Brice Sy that I first came to know. But I can't still read him though his showing a little bit of himself to me. "Sy."He snappily turned his head to face me and back to the road.

"Why?"

"Do you know that white car behind us?" He quickly looked at the rearview mirror and his brows furrowed. "It's been following us since we left the building."

"I've seen that car somewhere." Napa-isip din ako if I've seen that car somewhere pero wala akong maalala.

Sy maneuvered the car swiftly to the left where no one is around and abruptly came to a halt kaya bigla ding napapreno yung driver ng putting sasakyan. "Wait!"
