My Little Secrets.... (COMPLETED) (UNDER REVISION)

Chapter 4

The wolf

My partner, Fox resigned from his duty. That was the agenda of our sudden meeting. I already had an inkling of the situation. In our last case together, he asked me about a personal matter. I just didn't realize it would be sooner than I expected.

"Wolf, we have a list of agents that could be your new partner." My chief of command handed me a folder.

I opened it and scanned their profiles.

"Chief, I'll recommend someone." I said and put down the folder on the table.

"You know our protocol here, Fox. No families." He replied.

"Yes, I know. I'll send his details to you so our team could do their background check first." I said.

He nodded his head and went back to his desk.

"Can I leave now? I have an important meeting." I stood up.

"Sure. Have this time to relax or go on a vacation. I can't deploy you without a partner." He said.

"You know me, Chief." I said and saluted him.

He smirked and dismissed me.

We discussed the loopholes of our last case. 

I looked at my wristwatch. 

It's almost eight o'clock in the evening! Fuck!

I hurriedly went to my old honda civic car. It was the only car that was available in my parents house earlier. Papa offered his car but I declined. This hobby of mine is a dangerous one. 

I have to guarantee their safety all the time. 

I'm one of the ten secret agents of our government. For one month every year, we have a special training in Itbayat, Batanes to enhance our skills in combat fighting. The temperature there was no joke. 

I started the engine while dialling Jessica's number.

It was ringing but she was not answering it. Damn it.

I tried calling Cindy, her best friend and in the third ring she answered it.

"Yes, Ethan?" She asked.

"Are you with Jessica? Can I talk to her?" I asked.

"I'm not with her. I called her just one hour ago and told her I couldn't come home tonight. Why? Is anything wrong?" She asked back.

"Nothing's wrong, Cindy. Sorry to bother you." I replied and said my goodbyes.

So Jessica's alone in her unit now.

I was close to Jessica's condo building when I received a notification to my phone that someone was trying to unlock my garage.

I stopped the car in the sideway and opened my phone.

Just one look and I know, that person is Amelia Jessica. 

Why did she go in there? 

I noticed a bottle that she was holding while tapping again in my lock. 

Damn in. She's drunk.

I opened the gate of my house using my smartphone.

I watched her jump in joy.

Come on. Now go inside you little brat.

I searched for a u turn slot in the busy road.

The traffic was stressful. I guess I will be there in an hour.
