Girls with Guns

Chapter 2: Lady Minx

HEAVEN

Sirens. That's the last thing I heard before I left the building.

I couldn't careless that half of my co-workers got caught. It was every gal of herself.

I turned on the radio on my car to fill this— this irritating silence.

-

A massage parlor raided here in California. It was found out that they have been seeling illegal organs for a higher price. Several grams of drugs was also found in the said parlor.

Lady Minx, the owner of the parlor and alerged mastermind has escape. Be on guard, she is highly armed—

-

I shot the radio in annoyance. Fuck it!

I dialed a trusted friend of mine and luckily, after two rings she picked the phone up.

“Georgie!” I called her name

“[Kumusta? Sikat na sikat  ka na ah!]” she joked

“I have no time for jokes G!” I scolded her

I was literally on the run and instead on helping a friend, she just legit made a fucking joke!

Kahit kailan talaga ang babaeng yan! Aishhhhhh! Remind me to punch her face when we see each other, k?

She laughed in the other line “[Ok, ok. I got you a private jet to the Philippines]”

“Thanks!” I said and hung up

I stepped on the accelerator as hard as I could, so that I could arrive at the airport as fast as I could.

I over take couple of times and some cars flipped over or crashed. Not my problem anymore.

In one piece, I arrived at the airport and it immediately took of. Of course I'm the only one in the jet so I have to fly it myself.

Suddenly, my phone ringtone went off so I turned on the autopilot and went to the cabin and answered the call their.

“[Ate! Salamat sa Diyos at buhay ka pa!]” my younger brother in the Philippines shouted in relief

I don't know if I would be offended because of his statement or flattered because he cared for me.

Oh how I missed my younger brother. I couldn't visit often because of work and now we're going to be reunited because of the cops. Should I thank them or burn their stations because of what they did to my parlor? Maybe the latter.

“Ako pa?” I asked cockily

My brother chuckled in the other line “[Tama nga ang kasabihang, mahirap patayin ang masamang damo]”

I shook my head at my brother's statement “Alam ko. Sige uuwi ako mamaya ha?”

“[Totoo ba yan, ate?!]” excitement written all over his voice as he said those lines to me

“Oo totoo yan” I said in an assuring voice “Sige, tatawag ako mamaya, ok?”

“[Sige po ate, mag-ingat ka d'yan ha!]” he said

“Oo, mag-iingat si ate dito kung mag-iingat din si Henry?” I told him

“[Pangako po!]” those we're his last lines as he turned off the call

I stared at the sky blankly. It's still hours 'till I arrive at the Philippines and see my brother again.

I took out my wallet from my back pocket and took out a photo of Henry and I. His my half brother and I only knew him a couple of years ago.

I used to hate the fact that my mother has another child from a different man. Yes, I was fully aware that she and my father had a divorce but as a young ignorant teen I hated it. But, it all went away the first time I saw him.

-

“Why are we here daddy?” I asked my father looking around

“This is we're your mommy grew up” he answered “We're going to meet your brother”

“But I thought you and mommy aren't together anymore?” I asked in confusion

“Your brother has a different daddy” he answered

I froze. I don't know why but I felt betrayed. I hated the fact that I'm going to have a half brother!

I tapped my father's side and he looked at me “What's wrong?”

I pouted “I don't want to have a baby brother daddy”

He chuckled “I promise, you'll love him”

•~→†←~•

We arrived at the hospital. At first they won't let me in, for some reason but then daddy talked them through it.

We arrived in a private room. Daddy entered first. Although I was hesitant, I slowly opened the door and went to mommy's bed.

She gave me a kiss on my forehead and I giggled. Then, she lifted my baby brother. I hated myself for thinking he was cute, but when he opened his eyes and touched my faced, as he giggled and mumbled, my anger and hatred melted.

Their and then, I promised myself to take care of my baby brother even if it kills me.

-

I arrived in the Philippines and I immediately found the private airport Georgie told me about.

I carefully landed the private jet and hopped out of the jet. I was about to exit the airport when security began surrounding me.

“Lady Minx, is down. I repeat Lady Minx is down”

I'm sorry little brother, I don't think I could go home today.
