Love Me, Kill Me (Book 1 - Guardians Series)

LMKM 15 - Lethal Combination

Pharoah's POV

Agad bumukas ang mga mata ko sa unang ring pa lang ng telepono. Napatingin sa akin si Queen na kakagising din lang nang angatin ko ang awdotibo. There are different types of ringing tone for different kinds of call. This one indicates emergency.

"Hello? This is Pharoah. What's the situation?"

"Pharoah? Ano na namang ginagawa mo diyan sa unit ni Katherine sa gitna ng gabi? Kakalokah," dinig kong sambit ng nasa linya na hula ko'y si Carmina. Tsk. Di pa nakakarecover sa injuries eh nasa command center na naman. I hit the speakerphone and replaced the handset.

"Hello?" Kinakabahang sabi ni Queen habang nagpupusod ng buhok.

"Bruha, code 3. Kailangan nina Zion at Achilles ng back up. Report to Command Center immediately. Isama mo na si Pharoah, mabuti't nariyan na rin siya," ani Carmina.

Nakita ko ang pag-aalala sa mukha ni Queen nang marinig ang pangalan ng mga kasamahan namin sa A-Team. Mabilis na tumakbo kami papunta sa kalapit na Command Center. Naabutan namin doon ang magkapatid na Carmina at Mariz, si Captain Zeus at ilang mga guides. Ilang minuto lang ay dumating rin si Arthur at Noah.

"Ready to receive command Captain," sabay-sabay namin sambit.

"Requesting for situation analysis, Chief," sabi pa ni Arthur kay Mariz.

"At 10:00 tonight, agents Tarantula and Scorpion went for a surveillance mission in Batangas to verify the intelligence report on the existence of some Shadows' underlings. However, at 12:37, around ten minutes ago, agent Tarantula sent a distress signal. He gave a short background on their situation and we found out they were trapped inside a cave when they tried to escape some men in pursuit. Agent Tarantula claims that these men are very capable of using oriental martial arts and guns. He also informed us that agent Scorpion was paralyzed because of poison needles used against them. Right now, they are still hiding in that cave because they are outnumbered considering Scorpion's present state," paliwanag ni Mariz.

"Your primary mission is to retrieve them and your secondary mission is to capture as much Shadows men as you can. Tiger, I am giving you full blanket authority on deciding whether to abort the secondary mission or not as long as you carry out the primary mission. Now gear up," utos ni Captain Zeus.

"You will be using the Pterodactyl for faster transportation since they are in a mountainous terrain, please bring your Salamander suits also for precaution dahil napapalibutan ang area ng dagat," dagdag ni Mariz na tinutukoy ang private jet at swimming suits na dinesenyo ng experiment section.

Agad kaming pumunta sa Warcraft at mabilisang naghanda. Pagkabalik namin sa CC ay may metal briefcase na iniabot si Mariz kay Noah.

"We cannot afford to send medical attendants on field. We need to protect them 'coz they are still considered civilians in our HQ. I put my trust in you agent Panther," ani Mariz.

Noah Zamora also known as Panther is the perfect example of what women call tall, dark and handsome guy. He's not as huge as Arthur and is slimmer than me but his muscles are lean. A licensed medical doctor but an agent in profession, he plays a vital role in our team.

"Ready for deployment captain," dinig kong wika ni Arthur.

"Agent Hawk will pilot the jet for you and he is already waiting at the hangar. Okay, move out," utos ni Captain Zeus.

Namangha ako sa mga pagbabagong ginawa sa Pterodactyl nang makita namin ito sa malapitan. It looks so alive. Everybody exclaimed their appreciation as we boarded the jet.
