Azure: The Retired Assassin

Azure 33

Sy is fast enough to snatch it away from me in a blink, put it on the floor and pulled me up. "Get away from that thing!" He said in a controlled scream with sharp eyes glued on the bomb. The others  still looked bewildered over it and remained silent. "Dispose it." His commanding tone made the two guards hurried on their feet to take the bomb somewhere though fear is visible on their eyes. Maybe they thought it would explode on their hands.

"Anong ibig sabihin nito Blue?" All their inquisitive eyes were darted on my direction.

"I heard someone talking about the stage and that something was already planted. I ran right away when I failed to find those assholes."

"So it's the reason you did not finished our song?" I instantly nodded at Sy who was still holding my arm. We fell into deep silence thinking about the bomb and the whole situation. But we were disturbed by one of the guards who took the bomb outside. He looks distressed and scared.

"Sir! May mga itim na sasakyan po sa labas ng back gate." Nagkatinginan kaming anim. Things are getting bad and worst case scenario, innocent people will die tonight. I never knew this rivalry could be this bad or maybe this is something else that we don't know of. What is clear now is we have to protect this people inside the hall.

"Lock the gates and lock this hall, make sure no one leaves and keep them entertained." Sy transformed into someone with utmost authority in just a snap.

"Boss pakilakasan ang music and activate sound proof walls." Everyone changed not only Sy. But despite the building tension everyone looks compose as if they already anticipated this one to come. "San yung isang kasama mo?" Dagdag na sabi ni Kelvin.

"Nasa back gate sir tinutulungan yung ibang guards para hindi makapasok yung mga kalaban."

I was about to run and head outside but Sy took off first while dragging me behind him. "Brice c'mon I run better on my own." I wriggled my arm from his hand but he even holds it tighter.

"You have a bad habit of going head-on with the enemy without informing us. I won't let you do it. Not when the situation is this grave." I rolled my eyes with what he said. It's true but I can take care of myself very well. Before we reach the back gate we stop on small concrete building.

When I first saw what's inside alam ko na kaagad na ito yung command post ng mga nahire nilang guards for the event. Sy open a door and let go of my arm. "Go get anything you need before we go outside." Sabi nito sa akin at bigla nalang umalis. The room is filled with combat weapons guns, knives, grenades even swords.

I grab one of the thinnest swords on the shelf. A swossh sound was produced as I swing the sword in the air and it makes me feel so nostalgic of my mission in Japan. I excitedly put on the baldric over my shoulder and place the sword on it. I pick up two SS P226 handguns but I put it down when I saw an M110 semi-automatic sniper rifle ahead.

This is one of my fave rifles way back when my targets were not more than 800 yards. It's accuracy and the ability for a quick follow up shot is very reliable and this one is lighter than other rifles plus the design is really cool. If I wasn't an assassin I would have been in the military. Like Kristin Beck the first female navy seal, it would have been real badass. I pick two 20-round magazine and head outside without telling anyone.
