His Queen: The Beginning

Chapter 15

Third Person POV

"What do we do now?" Ash ask to Thunder who's now sitting comfortably at the couch of his sala.

It was already three days since she came back home from massacring the warehose slash the base of Triad. Kasalukuyan siyang nagpapagaling ngayon mula sa tama niya sa binti ng makatanggap siya ng email mula sa lalaking kaharap.

At first, she's hesitant to go and meet this guy. Who wouldn't? Specifically that she's still recovering and not yet fully healed. But then, this guy is a help to her, unraveling the truth behind Zen's death. And he might have new information for her.

She hate to admit it but she'll eat her own words. Thunder isn't a excess baggage, he's a great help.

"Well, HC Club just give us a month to make progress and our time is ticking. Shouldn't we suppose to start hooking the fish one by one? Especially you. You're linked with them so it's easy for you to spy and gather some important hints about their skeletons underneath." Thunder seriously spoke while tracing a glance at the laptop infront of him.

"But how?" She glanced at him. "I'm no fond of interacting with people." Matabang niyang sabi.

Thunder let out a sigh before closing the laptop. "Kailangan, Fire. You need to get closed to them. That's the only way, we can have an opportunity to dig more infos."

"How? Tss. I'm no good in this kind of field." And that's true. When it comes to a battle field with a lot of swords and guns, she can easily maneuver what will happen next. But if the battle is all about stepping someone ahead if them is a real chaos for her.

She hates to admit it, but she sucked at socializing with people.

"O'cmon, Fire. Hindi ka mapupunta sa ranggo mo ngayon kung hindi ka magaling sa ganitong estilo." Naiiling ang lalaki, at bakas sa mukha niya ang pagkalito.

"Bastard. I have my own ways." She gritted her teeth kahit na hindi naman ito kita ng lalaki dahil sa maskarang tumatabon sa buong mukha niya.

"Own ways? Tell me how your ways work and let's see if we can use them." Nang-hahamong sabi ng lalaki at iniumang ang mukha paharap.

Itinulak niya ang noo nito palayo gamit ang gitnang daliri.

"Fvck off!" She hissed before looking away.
"Just think of a concrete and effective plan." She plainly said.

From her peripheral vision, she saw that he sudden open his mouth and about to speak when a they heard a loud ring of phone.

"Uhm. Excuse me." Thunder stand and walk away while answering his phone.

Psh. Binawi niya ang tingin sa lalaki at inilabas ang bagong cellphone na bigay sakanya ng kakambal.

Tumaas ang isang kilay niya ng may nag-pop up na email doon.

From: 160000
To: 001000

Drop at the Council now, Fire. We're expecting you within an hour.

Saglit na napaisip si Ash kung sino ang nag-email sakanya.

It couldn't be HC Club. 16000? It's not a Head Council's address.

Napailing siya at nahulog sa malalim na pag-iisip.

Drop at the council? Oh hell! How could i forget that they transfer me? Darn!

Realization hit her. She grabbed her things and stand up.

"Huh? Leaving already?" Tanong ni Thunder ng tangka na siyang aalis.
