Mischevous Thief

Chapter 5:Thieves Lair

Headquarters

It's not easy escaping from that woman. I was in the car but I know she was still following me.

Nailigaw ko siya ng malapit na ako sa Hotel. My mission still isn't finish here. I might have stole the Unmounted Heart Diamond and the 3 micro chips.

I still have a wager to make. Sumapit ako sa isang abandonadong gusali. It doesn't look like much but we are trying to keep a low profile.

And this Dilapidated building is perfect to keep us from prying eyes of the cops and agents.

It has exit routes hidden. I am not alone in there. I have Bravado, Kincaid, Viper. My team and technically, my friends too.

Maybe there are out on some missions or out to meet girls. Knowing them, they're playboys.

The silence was unnerving. I had a feeling, a hunch inside me. I went to open the lock but it was already opened.

My team never left it open. I kept my guard up. Someone was inside, Someone who was brave enough to infiltrate a Thieves Lair.

We call it, Thieves Lair. It defines what we are. Outside it's just a dilapidated building but inside it looked like a small fortress.

Retinal, Biometrics and all. For safety reasons, There is no one we can trust when it's a dangerous game we are playing.

I switched the lights on. Walang tao. But I have a hunch that I am not alone. I saw a black figure near the computer units.

"Oh, Mr. Timothy Idaho. It was a quite a pleasure meeting you here. It's not everyday that someone had breached our security"I said calmly. I shall not give in to my fears, not now.

"I'll take that as a Compliment but you have been an inconvenience for me this past few years. But I am willing to offer you a wager"Mr. James Idaho is an American man in his 30s.

He used to own ITech Industries. For some reason, It went bankrupt. Currently, He is running an Organization of thieves.

He is mad because in whatever mission, mas nauuna kong makuha ang mga alahas o anupamang micro chips.

I know he sent those thugs to kill me. What a joke. Not even those guys could stop me in doing everything in my will, no one can.

"I have grown weary of your games. Join us or Die"I can sense his dangerous aura.

Pinalibutan ako ng labing dalawang tauhan niya. Tss, These thugs they never learn.

"So be it"Binigyan ko ng malakas na suntok ang isa. Sinipa ko ang isang lumapit sa akin.

Nagulat ako ng may tatlong dumating. Hawak nila sina Bravado, Kincaid, Viper. I wonder why, they are all black belters.

He handed me a pair of cuffs.
"Put these on, If you don't want them to die"Sabi ng isa sa mga armadong lalaki.

They forced me to cross sit on the ground. Tulog pa rin sina Kincaid. They must be sedated.

I heared a slash of a sword, It was Japanese, Isang katana. It was pointing on my neck.

I used all my force to somersault and kick the sword away. I was in a tough position knowing I am hand cuffed.

They don't want a fair fight. Well, then I will show them how dirty I play. Using my hand, I got a spray and put it in the ground.

Soon enough all of them was coughing. I used it to knock them all down. Then, I used all my strength to kick Mr. James Idaho.

Ngunit ni hindi ito tuminag. May iba pang natitirang buhay sa mga tauhan ni Mr. Idaho. I was surprised to see my team finishing them all off.

"You bastards, I thought I am gonna fight alone"I said after I knocked Mr. Idaho down.

"Don't dream big, Aux. We won't let you gain all the Glory for saving us. Isa pa, We really ought to see you fight in combat again"Kincaid said as he patted me on the back.

Natawa ako sa sinabi niya.
"This bastard, Wanting to be the Hero again"Sita ni Viper sa akin.

"I don't, Not even thinking about it"I patted Viper on the back.

"It's good to see you back on the team, Bravado"He hugged me but the hug that could crush your bones in an instant.

"Good to see bro"I held my breath. Ni hindi na ako makahinga. Nahalata niya kaya binitiwan niya na ako.

"Guys, I need you to help me with this thing"Si Mr, James Idaho ang tinutukoy ko.

Nakalas niya ang tali. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko. No one could untie that knot. It's made of the strongest silk.

Perhaps, I am wrong there is one that could untie the knot.

Mr. James Idaho was standing there, until he revealed who he is by removing his mask.

Wutt Luther Davis, Our Mentor.
"Good job in retrieving the Items that I told you to steal. But not good enough, The most important item is still not found"He smirked at all of us.

He was in his early 40s. Too young to be our Mentor. His intelligence had brought us for what we are now.
