Comrades in Action Book 5: Cece Klein

Chapter Twenty eight

"What do you mean you can't grant it?"

"The bosses refused to let go of your contract.."

"What?!"

Commander sighed at her question. Nasa opisina siya nito upang sana ay kausapin ito tungkol sa balak niyang pag-re-resign.

"Basically your contract with them is not yet over. And after Nick and Aiden left, kayo na lang nila Mason, River, Cole at Magnus ang natitira."

"They have hundreds of soldiers fighting for them for goodness sake!" She exclaimed. "It's not as if katapusan na ng bansa nila kapag umalis ako. Why are they so damn clingy?" She said in irritation.

"Unfortunately, they find you too valuable for them to let go. Your squad is one of the best in the field, Cece."

"Fuck!" Hindi niya napigilang magmura.

"Language.."

Napangiwi siya sa pangaral na iyon. Pero anong magiging reaksyon niya? Aiden and Nick were able to get out of it without any hussle pero pagdating sa kanya ay kumplikado?

Fuck talaga...!

"Dalawang taon pa bago matapos ang kontrata ko." She groaned.

"They allowed you to have a couple of months vacation though." Pagpapagaan ni Commander. "Besides, you'll not be assigned in warzones anymore hanggang sa matapos ang kontrata mo."

Umangat ang isang kilay niya sa sinabi nito. "So how am I going to spend my time with this job then?" Ang sarkastikong wika niya.

"You will just have to make yourself ready and available whenever they call you to do missions."

"In short, habang walang misyon, nandito lang ako at mag-aasikaso ng mga paperworks, ganoon ba?"

Wala pa man pero nakikita na niya ang klase ng boredome na kakaharapin niya kapag nagpatuloy ito.

She cringed at the idea.

"They assigned you at the lab. You're a toxicologist so hindi ka mabo-bore doon."

"But still. This is ridiculous.." She exhaled loudly.

"It's either that or you'll be in trouble, Cece. You know very well they don't take no for an answer." Pagtatapos nito.

Hindi na siya nagsalita. Ano pa bang magagawa niya? Kilala niya ang mga nakatataas sa kanya at nasa posisyon. Once they settle their mind into a decision, there is no way in hell they will change it.

Isa pa, She isn't that dumb to triffle with them. Si commander nga walang nagawa, siya pa kaya? Muli siyang napabuntong hininga.

"Fine." She said grudgingly.

"It's better this way."

She sighed.

"I need to cool my mind. At dahil ang dalawang buwang bakasyon lang ang magandang bagay na makukuha ko ngayon, I might as well put it to use."

"Where to?"

"Tsk. I'm sure you already know where."

Commander chuckled. "Yeah.. right."

"I'm going." Aniya saka sumaludo dito. Naglakad siya palabas ng pinto but not befofe saying. "Don't call me if I'm needed."

The Commander just laughed at her antics.

Umaga pa lang ng makalapag ang sinasakyang eroplano sa NAIA airport. She took her bagpack and immediately made her way to the lobby. Mula doon ay sumakay siya ng taxi at saka dumiretso sa condo ni Chase.
