Phantom Agents 1:Red (COMPLETED)

Chapter 23

Lucien Cross San Diego

What is she thinking? I just sighed, nagtungo kami sa bayan para sa opening giant statue mamayang gabi dahil daw sa pagkamit nito sa Guiness book of records kaya naman ay asahan na ang sobrang daming tao, hindi lang ata mga taga bayambang ang nandito, kahit mga taga ibang bayan ay dumayo din.

Ruby told us that the elders of that mafia will be there for a transaction that will widen their power, our mission is to kidnap the one they will transact with pero hindi iyon magiging madali dahil puro high tiers at boss ang naroroon para personal na magbantay kaya naman ay kami na mismo ang nagtungo roon.

But knowing her, I can feel she's up to something... something bigger than this. Inilibot ko ang paningin sa buong paligid, there are floats everywhere for each barangays, there are statues of their saint on each vehicle, mukang maghahanda ang mga ito para sa grand procession na gaganapin.

"Don't let your guards down."

I heard Ruby whispered, we are both wearing a disguise, mahirap ng matunugan. Naghiwa hiwalay rin kaming pumwesto na. It's already 5 pm at malapit ng mag umpisa ang prusisyon, hindi parin kami sinesenyasan ni Ruby kung kailan kami gagalaw.

"Our target is being heavily guarded, idagdag pa ang dami ng tao, kaya hindi tayo agad makakakilos." Si Ruby habang kumakain ng isaw at tahimik na inoobserbahan ang paligid.

Natatawa nalang ako sa tuwing binabalingan nito ng matalim tingin ang bawat dadaang titingin saamin. Nag umpisa na kami sa prusisyon at sumabay nalamang sa isa sa mga floats upang hindi mahalata. Muka namang nag eenjoy din si Ruby dahil sa mga libreng pagkaing ipinamimigay.

"Pandesal pa po?"

Tanong ng singkit na babaeng pinaka bata atang kanina pa namimigay ng pagkain at tubig sa mga matatandang naririto. Ngumiti si Ruby at kumuha roon, napangiti nalang akong umiling habang hawak hawak ang kamay nito.

"Thank you!"

Pasasalamat ni Ruby na nabusog na ata sa mga libreng ipinamimigay. Halos dalawang oras rin kaming naglakad hanggang sa makarating sa pagdadausan ng grand opening.

"Too many people...."

Puna ko habang inikot ang paningin sa buong paligid, it's dark and crowded, open space at kung hindi ka magiging alerto ay maaari kang mawala.

"Kasabay ng opening ay ang pagsabog ng mga bombang inihanda ng kalaban, the fireworks display will be their signal, balak nilang pasabugin ang buong lugar. It's like an offering for their alliance... thousands of lives."

I uttered as I clenched my sharp jaw, Ruby seems calm, hinahanap narin ni ni hades ang bomba, agent scarlet is also finding the bomb with agent hades. Agent blue on the other hand is currently tracking the target down.

"The one we are going to abduct is the leader of an illegal organization second to their rank, I'm pretty sure they are planning to make the top 5 illegal organizations their alliances then eliminate them whenever they don't need them anymore."

Sambit nitong nagpakunot ng noo ko, but then for an unknown reason ruby grinned.

"What are you thinking?"

Kunot noong tanong ko, Ruby chuckled.

"Nothing."

She said then winked at me, I eyed her darkly... Why do I feel like she's not telling me something? I want to know everything from her, I want to know her more. I know she already told me her past, Abusado na kung abusado but I want to know everything that is happening to her, what she thinks, what she's planning....
