Agent Night (Tagalog | Complete)

Chapter 44 - The Lion and the Cubs

Magtatanghali na nang makarating kami sa main land. Pagbaba namin sa pantalan, natanaw ko agad ang pamilyar na itim na Audi at ang may-ari nitong akala mo ay nagshu-shooting ng commercial dahil sa porma.

"What's up, Villanueva?" Bati ni Justin kay Xander na umayos ng tayo pagkakita sa aming papalapit.

Nakasuot ito ng puting t-shirt na napapatungan ng itim na hooded jacket. Tinernuhan niya iyon ng fit denim jeans at itim na military boots. Kinumpleto pa ng suot niyang dark shades ang get-up niya. Para talaga siyang mag-po-photoshoot kung hindi mo lang mapapansin ang baril na nakasuksok sa kanyang kaliwang tagiliran.

"Sinundo ko na kayo para sabay-sabay na tayong pumunta dun." Aniya at napansin si Alexander. "Santiago." Matipid nyang bati rito.

Tinanguan lang sya nito.

"Dala ko 'yung private helicopter ni Dos. Naka-park sa helipad ng hotel." Aniya.

Oo nga pala. Marunong sya magpalipad ng helicopter at eroplano. May lisensiya din 'yon, eh. Actually pareho sila ni Justin. Rich kids.

Sakay ng kanyang Audi, nagtungo na kami sa sinasabi niyang hotel. Naroon nga nakaabang ang helicopter ni Dos, si King Simba.

From Dumaguete, we traveled north to District Five. Maganda ang panahon kaya't walang aberya sa byahe. Subalit ang ikinapapangamba ko lang, baka may makaalam sa pagtungo namin sa Singko lalo na si Agent Zero.

District Five had preserved it's outer beauty, but I knew underground was a mess. The place was isolated save for an old man waiting for us in a veranda. He was looking down at us like a predator as we walked towards the mansion.

Xander led us to the study room. Pagpasok namin, naroroon na rin si Agent 2 at naghihintay.

"Agents." Matipid na bati niya. He was standing with his cane beside the door to the veranda. Despite his old age and difficulty in walking, he looked stern as always.

I braved to say my initial worry. "Before anythings else, I just wanted to make sure that we're not bugged." At umani na naman ako ng iba-ibang reaksyon mula sa kanila.

"Don't worry, Nyx." Said Xander. "The communication and power lines are not restored yet. We're totally cut from the rest."

"You're worrying too much, Agent 13." Komento naman ni Dos.

Napabuntong hininga ako. "We flew via a helicopter, wouldn't that be suspicious? Ilan ba ang helicopter sa bansang 'to? Mainit ang mga mata ni Zero sa akin and...I knew things."

"Do you, now?" Agent 2 asked skeptically. "Or are you just assuming things?"

Napatiim-bagang ako. I hated it when he questions my credibility. Dahil doon, labag sa loob na nanahimik na lamang ako.

"Well, Nyx has a point about flying here." Salo ni Justin sa usapan. "It's risky. Isa pa, malamang alam na nila na alam naming under surveillance kami."

"Don't worry." Si Xander naman ang nagsalita. "They actually knew we're meeting here."

Pinagtaasan ko siya ng kilay. "Then what's the code for?"

He smiled like there's something they knew that we don't.

"Tell me what you have, Agent 11." Wika ni Dos at maingat na naglakad papalapit sa amin.

We crowded on the available office table. Fortunately, the place was not strewn.

Tumikhim si Xander at may inilabas na envelope mula sa inside pocket ng jacket niya. "Nyx, remember about the business I told you about that caused a rift between Mayor Cena, Vice Mayor Montejo and the now dead, truly dead Councilor Deterra?"
