His Series #9: Scorpio Middleton

Chapter Twenty-Seven

[SCORPIO]

"Who are you exactly in the Blood Moon?" I asked Zaim.

"I'm a newbie because I just joined recently but Jared made me her advisor and I guess I will do my job on you from now on." He explained.

"May lead na ba kung ano na ang nangyayari? Jared just mentioned something na iilang sub-headquarters na ang sinusugod." 

"Surprisingly, Hiro managed to seek help from a person who has power and wealth but the identity of his sponsor is still unknown. Wala pang bumabalik sa akin na report." 

"I don't care who is it, utilize the army or what you have. Look for Hiro." I said at saka sumandal sa swivel chair kung saan ako nakaupo.

Na kung saan dati nakaupo si Jared.

"Binabawi ko na ang utos ni Jared, kapag nakita na si Hiro. Shoot to kill." I added.

"I understand." Zaim said.

Pumasok naman si Bailey, she has a serious demeanor. Ibang-iba sa masiyahing Bailey na nakilala ko.

"Bailey here, will be your assistant for now." Zaim introduced and I nodded at that knowledge.

"The army is waiting Signore." Bailey said. Nagkatinginan naman kami ni Zaim at tumango naman ako sa kanya.

"Signore pulled Signora's command but this time it was a shoot to kill." Zaim said and Bailey nodded. "Send the message to Don and Gemma, they are all waiting." Dagdag niya.

Kaagad naman na lumabas si Bailey para siguro ipasa ang sinabi ko.

Ipinalibot ko naman ang paningin sa opisina ni Jared, it has a neutral color scheme at hindi halata na babae ang nago-opisina doon. I remember Don what told me last time, she ordered to burn everything that Hiro owned in this office, she requested for disinfection of the whole office.

She is really that crazy.

"It's been weeks? I missed her." I said all of the sudden, Zaim looked at me with a pity in his eyes.

"I know how it hurts, losing someone you loved." He said.

"I want to drink, can I?" I asked and looked at him. He chucklef before shaking his head.

"Go ahead, just don't put yourself into danger. You are now the Supreme Leader." He said.

I let out a sigh. "It's funny to think that I was just a surgeon then next thing I knew. I am now a Supreme Leader." Natatawang sabi ko.

"Life works mysteriously, expect the unexpected." He advised and I chuckled.

"I'll remember that." I said at saka kinuha ang isang folder doon at binasa ang mga papel na nasa loob noon. "I think I'll work first before I drink, medyo marami-rami na rin ang trabahong naiwan ni Jared dito."

"Good, I'll be on the other room beside this office. Call me of you need me." He said bago lumabas ng office.

I let out a sigh again at saka sinimulan na ang mga nakatambak na trabaho doon.

Hindi ko alam na ilang oras na pala ang lumipas, nang mag-angat ako ng tingin sa bintana ay madilim na ang langit.

I stood up and walked towards the door at binuksan iyon, I knocked Zaim's office at mayamaya lang ay bumukas iyon.

And it was Addie.

"Addie, what are you doing here? hindi kita napansin na dumating." I said and I kissed her cheek.
