The Reveal

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CLARRISSA

Pagkarating ko ng condo ko ay kaagad kong kinontact si Aydenn.

"Yes Ma'am?"

"I sent you a location. Take a look at it."

"Saw it. Anong meron dun?"

"I want you to gather Black Angels, Cobra and ReOw in 30 minutes. If you're with Mark, inform him about this."

"Huh? Wh---" Hindi ko na siya hinintay at binaba na ang tawag. Pumunta ako sa kusina at inisang lagok ang isang baso ng tubig. Hindi pa ako nakuntento at uminom pa uli ng isa.

Napahawak ako sa labi ko nang maalala ko ang ginawa ni Black kanina. Shit. Iniuntog ko ng mahina ang ulo ko sa dingding. Stop it. I shouldn't distract myself. May mga mas importante pa akong bagay na kailangang gawin? What am I doing? I shook my head.

I quickly changed my clothes at dumiretso sa lugar ng pagkakakitaan. I parked my car near the building which I assumed was heard by others. May mga nakita akong nagbabantay sa labas. Pumasok ako sa loob ng walang pasabi. Agarang nagsitutukan ng mga armas ang mga tao sa loob.

"Put it down." I sternly said. They followed my order but is still on their guard. Dire-diretso lang ako papunta sa isang kwarto.

"Boss./Ma'am." I nodded at the two who greeted me.

"Outside." Saad ko sa ibang mga hindi ko kakausapin. Tumingin muna sila sa mga taong nasa likuran nila asking for confirmation sa mga sinusunod nila bago sila lumabas ng kwarto.

After the door was closed, I removed the mask covering my face and threw it at the table. I heard someone gasping.

"Small world, huh?" I said at umupo sa swivel chair na nandito sa dulo ng lamesa.

"Clarrissa? How is this possible?" I looked at Drew for a moment before clicking my tongue.

"First of all, listen. After that, I will let you all speak as you wish." I said. They seem to get what I am trying to do so they did what they were told.

I looked at each of their faces, they seem to be waiting for me. Napatawa ako ng mahina. It's kind of weird seeing them all here together. Aydenn Pascual and Caiden Santos, Cobra Gang, Black Angels, and Drew and Kylie Torres for ReoW.

"I am 'Celeste' of the Underground, Clarrissa Navarro, and starting right now I will be your so called 'leader'. If that's how you want it to be called. What else? Ah. We will all be working together so let's work hard? I guess?" After saying all that, I chuckled a bit. Well, this is kind of awkward. Oh, how I hate introductions. The first one to speak up was Yasmine.

"Hey, uhm, Clarrissa? I think we're over with that. Who are you really? I mean, last time I know, hindi ka talaga isang Navarro." Umubo sa isang gilid si Caiden then threateningly looked at her. Everyone stared, she mouthed a 'what', napailing lang ako.

"We think it's unfair, since Caiden and Aydenn seem to know you better than everyone else. Plus, the fact that we're all from different empires makes it harder for us to trust you." Veronica looked at Ate Sky for support. She just looked at me as if waiting for the same answer her friends are looking for. Drew and Kylie seemed to agree with what she just said. 'Trust', wow.
