*Cerulean's Point of View
I carefully took a sip of my latte, while my left bare hand keeps busy typing and clicking as I'm currently using my laptop. Putting back my drink on the side table, I immediately get back with my business.
I unknowingly take a glimpse of the time and it says 4:30 AM. Damn.
Wala sa oras naman akong napahinga ng malalim at napasuklay sa buhok, bago muling ibalik ulit ang atensyon ko dito sa laptop at bahagya itong pinagmasdan.
Ever since the ambush yesterday from Ms. Carter's office-the principal, I've been immediately start working about the high possibilities why those men did that to her.
Well, it's not that I'm gonna guard her from now on and act as a look out for her or something. Trust me.
"Cee."
Agad naman akong napatingin sa may intercom screen ng pinto ko nang marinig ko 'yon. I quickly get up from my bed knowing who that person is and immediately unlocked my room for him to come in.
Right on time. Nang mabuksan na ang security ng kwarto ko ay agad na pumasok si Crimson kasama ang iba pa naming kapatid.
"What's the update?"
Blue and Red immediately went to my bed, right after hearing what Crimson asked me and take a look about what I'm currently doing.
While on the other hand, Azure and Brick so get on with their specialty. I gradually look at them as I watch how they do their thing.
Azu and Bri were always been acquainted with serious matters like this, despite both being the youngest. Kaya hindi na din kami nabibigla nila Crimson kung bakit halos hindi sila normal kung mag-isip nung mga bata pa sila.
They're already been involved to so much cases with us, making them different to other kids, back then. Both of them are really good in analyzing situations and if something is wrong, they can immediately tell us what's the issue.
Muli naman akong napatingin sa kanila Blue at Red na nakaupo na ngayon sa may sala ng kwarto ko at may inaasikaso din kaharap ang mga laptop nila.
Blue and Red's expertise are anything about technologies and gadgets. Specifically, they're both genuises when it comes to hacking stuffs and tracking things.
It's just pretty strange and weird to see that Azu and Bri are more attached to gadgets more than them.
Inalis ko nalang ang tingin ko sa kanila at bumalik na rin sa inaasikaso ko.
"Eve, what did Ms. Carter said to you after the ambush?"
Bumalik agad ang wisyo ko nang marinig 'yon mula kay Blue. I quickly glance at the latter and answered him.
"If I'm Raven."I directly said, making them smirk out of nowhere.
"Onyx sure is somehow unbelievable at times like this."Napangisi na din ako nang marinig ko 'yon.
If you're curious, the Onyx is an underground syndicate organization containing men and women who always have the desire to be on top, especially when it comes to business. It's actually not that new to hear someone's desire being like that. It's pretty natural when you enter inside the business world.
What's new for us, is hearing the Onyx being unbelievably improving. They already knew.
"So, what's their deal with that principal-Ms. Carter?"Napalingon naman kami kay Red nang tanungin niya 'yon sa amin.
And unfortunately, yes, they were the ones who ambushed that lady.
"Cav! Listen to this."
Azu and Bri suddenly butted into the conversation, calling Crimson whom they called Cav, that made our attention diverted to them. Nagsipuntahan naman agad kami sa may computer section ng kwarto ko at tinignan kung ano ang nahanap nila.
"After Bee and Ree hacked the surveillance camera inside the office, we saw this."They immediately showed us a video.
Sabay naman sumimangot sina Blue at Red nang marinig nila ang tawag sa kanila nina Azu at Bri. I gradually scoffed as I rolled my eyes, before looking back at the video.
We watched carefully how those men entered the office.
They entered using the window just like what Ms. Carter said, while she's doing something on her table. But because those bastards obviously have silencers with them, they made it through inside without causing any violent sounds.
Plus, the room is soundproof which makes more of a reason why Ms. Carter didn't really saw them coming. Agad naman nilang nilagyan ng takip sa bibig si Ms. Carter at sabay na tinali doon sa upuan niya na ng makapasok na sila sa opisina niya.
One man approached her and then suddenly hit her even before Ms. Carter something.
I clenched after what I just saw.
Pinanuod namin ng pinanuod ang buong coverage ng footage hanggang sa may marinig kami mula sa video.
It's actually not legal to let sounds or any audio be heard in security cameras. But because we have Blue and Red over here, we could get the chance to hear what they're talking about.
We immediately listen carefully.
"Where did you hide it?"
"I have nothing to hide from you."
"Don't play with me, Avani. Start answering my question while I'm still being nice to you."
"What did you do to my son?"
Nakita naming umigting ang panga nung lalaking nasa harapan ni Ms. Carter pagkatapos marinig ang sinabi niya, na naging dahilan naman para bigyan ulit siya ng ilang tama sa katawan.
He signaled one of his men to give her scars, which is exactly the reason why I saw her with those when I came in.
"Where did you hide the family's heirloom?"
From that moment, he gave her a hit and right what he did, I came to the scenario.
Then you all knew the rest.
Tinapos na namin ang video at nagkatinginan kaming lahat. Confirmed.
"They know something."I bluntly said.
"It has something to do with her son and the family's heirloom."Sambit naman agad ni Azu.
Family's heirloom?
Nagkatinginan ulit kaming lahat pagkatapos naming marinig ang sinabi ni Azu. Nanlamig naman bigla ang mga mata ko at saka tinignan ang naka-pause na video na pinanuod namin.
Let me just say that me and those bastards are good old mates. Take note of the sarcasm.
Damn you, Onyx.
