Codename: Alpha Zero

Chapter 07

MINA

After classes, the car of Zero awaits me outside the campus. Good thing naging normal ang ibang mga klase namin. Hindi ako ginulo ng tatlo at hindi ako masiyadong kinulit nila Candy at Janine. Nakisama sila sa mood ko.

Nang makarating ako sa harap ng pinto ng mansion ay doon ko naramdaman ang kaba at takot. This is my first mission and it has a high risk. Imagine, 1 000 dollars ang nakasalalay dito. One wrong move and I'm dead. I'm sure they will not let the money pass.

Pagpasok ko sa silid ng Decade ay nag-aabang na sila sa 'kin.

"What took you so long?" Cuatro asked. As usual, naiinis na naman siya.

"Just some schoolworks," I answered.

"Well, Miss Cruz. We already gave you the mission log. Cinco sent it to you via BlackMail. Don't get it wrong, BlackMail is an app used to pass secret informations to others. Open it on your phone now," Uno explained.

"But I didn't installed an app like that on my phone," sabi ko.

"Don't worry. Once a BlackMail message was sent to you, the app installs automatically for you to view the message," this time the girl with the yellow mask said. She's probably Cinco.

Tiningnan ko nga ang phone ko at may notification nga doon galing sa BlackMail. The app's name is still weird for me. Nandoon nga ang mga informations about the mission. I read it all.

MISSION LOG:

So this is how they do their work. Hindi ko alam pero mukhang cool ang ginagawa nila para sa 'kin. Para akong nasa isang Role Playing Game. Kung hindi lang sana ganito ang sitwasyon, baka ako pa ang kusang sumali sa grupo nila.

"What are you waiting for?" Cuatro asked sarcastically.

Nilingon siya ni Uno at nagkibit-balikat lang siya. "You could go home now. Thanks for your cooperation."

With that, I went out of the mansion, or should I call it HQ? Paglabas ko ay nandoon na ang Lamborghini Alston sa harap ng gate. Zero got out from there.

"I'll get you home," sabi niya bago ako pagbuksan ng pinto.

"I don't know you Alphas are gentlemen," I remarked before getting in.

"I'll take that as a compliment."

Pumasok na din siya at pumwesto sa driver's seat.

"I'm always wondering, why are you so kind to me?" tanong ko bigla at nakita kong bahagya siyang nagulat.

"The truth? You know my real identity and I want to make you comfortable. I think you don't notice me sometimes but I'm always looking at you, making sure you don't have any problems," just like a stalker, creepy.

"Speaking of problems, can you do me a favor?" napatingin naman siya sa 'kin.

"Sure, as long as it don't get the Alpha Fleet into trouble."

"Well, there is these guys who is really a pain in the head. Their names are Alphero, Marsh, and Randy. Can you take care of them? I mean, don't do anything stupid. Just threaten them or scare them, you're the Ghost Alpha anyways," sunud-sunod kong sabi.
