Chapter 1
WALANG MINTIS ang naging pag asinta ni Guerlain sa mga target sa kanyang harapan. Sunod sunod ang putok ng baril niya na para bang naka-program siya para gawin iyon. Tumigil lang siya nang maubusan siya ng bala. Akmang aalis siya sa firing point upang kumuha ng panibagong baril nang makita niya ang kaibigan na nasa likod niya.
"Ooops! Time's up! Ako naman. Kanina mo pa pinanggigigilan yang mga target diyan. Yung totoo? May gusto ka bang patayin ha?" Ani Sol na isa sa malapit niyang kaibigan sa organisasyon.
Sol is one of her most trusted friend. She knew her since childhood. Shes also part of Stratos, to her team to be exact.
She doesn't really have a lot of friends. She may be well-known but she only has a few people that she really trust and care about. She was raised to be wary of people's intentions and to always be suspicious, to never trust easily and live a private life. She was taught to have a strong a mind so she won't fall like an easy prey to people who knows how to manipulate.
She understands that these are all part of being who she is to be
But Sol kinda grew on her after all those years, so maybe Sol's one of her exceptions and she's glad that she had one.
"Okay, your turn. Kanina ka pa ba diyan?" Kalmado siyang nagsalita at ngumiti sa kaibigan.
"Well, yes. I tried to get your attention but you're obviously too busy to notice. Ano ba yan? Bakit ang seryoso mo diyan? Kahit naman di ka mag-practice di kukupas yang skills mo." Natatawang sagot naman ng kaibigan na para bang nawiwirduhan sa kanya.
"It's part of our duty. And I was having fun so hindi kita napansin. Anyway, why are you here? I thought you have a meeting?" Tanong niya kay Sol habang nililigpit ang pinag gamitan nitong baril.
"I'm here to deliver a good news!" Masayang sabi naman nito. She went out of the practice room and Sol followed.
"And what is it? Good news, if it comes from you don't always mean it's good." Aniya na duda sa balita nito.
Kabisado na niya ang kaibigan. Tuwing sinasabi nitong good news ay isa lang ibig sabihin nito, may bagong assign na misyon para sa kanilang dalawa.
"Hey! Don't be such a mood breaker! It's been so long since we last went undercover so I'm excited!" Halos mapakanta pa si Sol sa excitement. Nang marating nila ang loob ng elevator, pinindot ni Sol ang buton papunta sa basement.
"Aren't we scheduled to return to headquarters? Bakit mo pa kinuha iyang misyon na iyan?" Sinadya niya ang inis na tono.
"It's not me! The orders came from Amanda. Duhh! Sabi niya ay ito ang last mission natin bago umuwi. Tutal andito nalang din naman tayo sa bansa."
"And why do I have to go with you?" Takang tanong niya dito.
"Cause you're stuck with me?" Pabirong sagot nito
She sighed heavily.
Maraming gumugulo sa utak niya ngayon kaya't gusto niya na sanang umuwi sa lalong madaling panahon. Isa na doon ang biglaang pag-atake sa kanya nuong nakaraang araw. Hindi parin niya alam kung sino ang may kagagawan noon at palaisipan padin sa kanya kung ano ang dahilan ng mga ito. Hindi siya makapaniwalang wala man lang siyang makuhang impormasyon matapos niyang i-report sa headquarters ang insidente. Ang sabi nila ay isang kaso lang iyon ng mistaken identity dahil hindi talaga siya ang pakay ng mga taong iyon.
She doesn't want to believe them. Me? Mistaken identity? Really? Those men are after me tapos sasabihin nilang mistaken identity?
Isa pa sa dahilan kung bakit inis na inis siya sa nangyaring iyon ay dahil nung araw na iyon nawala ang isa sa mga bagay na pinaka-iingatan niya. Ang gold bracelet na regalo ng yumao niyang ina. She went back to the parking building the same day to look for it but it's gone. Kaya naman hanggang ngayon ay wala siya sa mood.
