Girls with Guns

Chapter 7: Are You Crazy?!

HEAVEN

We couldn't answer at the agents sudden proposal. Angel of Death, what was her name? Brian? Brown? No, it was Brooke, anyway she was right, why would the government resort to such things? I mean they could hire anyone that's trustable and has a clean record but why us?

Us three couldn't give our answers yet but Brooke already gave a big no. There is clearly something between this two, but I couldn't just point out what. They literally want to kill each other!

We are currently in another room, a clean white room with a bed and small side table. Nobody is allowed to enter because of what happen to the other building we've been and lucky for us this government property super secured facility.

A knock from the transparent door woke me up from my thoughts and brought me back to reality.

“What?” I boredly answered

“You'll meet someone in a minute” the police, agent, I don't know what he is but meet someone in a minute?

Maybe another questioningly AGAIN.

There were maybe about ten people in my room and handcuffed me. After making sure that I cannot escape they infected me something but I'm certain that it is not a paralyzing substance because it hasn't effected me.

I was then on a wheelchair? Yes, a fucking wheelchair but with metal and elastic straps.

They are really making sure that we won't escape this time. Well can't blame them, they were chasing us for years and just caught us, why would they let us escape?

I was put in a room, after the other girls got there the guards took out the handcuffs and straps.

“Why the fuck am I the only one paralyzed?!” Brooke complained, and may I add that she has a long shitty name? Anyone noticed that? No? Only me then

“Because you were struggling and should I mention your reputation?” a sudden answer came from the speaker

The voice was familiar. Oh wait, this was the agent last time, if I remember correctly it was Agent Alexander.

Brooke groaned in frustration while the rest of us remained silent.

I got up and sat beside the alleged Angel of Death that take note I wasn't expecting to be a girl that was about my age or younger.

“What?!” she asked, still irritated and it was spotted in her tone

I chuckled “I think we haven't met properly, my name is Heaven”

I handed her my hand for a handshake but she didn't accepted it so I placed in down.

“I'm Brooke” she simply said “Don't look at me like a snob, I was paralyzed remember?”

I laugh with the sudden realization. After a while, the two other girls— Stacey and Yvonne— joined us.

They repeated there names and from that we had a conversation. We have nothing else to do here, it was a clear white room with several cameras and a family sofa. The only way to get out is using an ID key and at the ten people that went inside the room, only one has an ID key.

“Hey Stacey” Brooke suddenly whispered

Stacey's head crumpled in confusion, what was the reason of the sudden change of tone? “Yeah?”

“Can you open the lock?”

Our eyes widened in shock. We didn't expect her to say those things, we are at a very secured facility of the US Government!

“Are you crazy?!” we all said in unison

Her expression didn't change, she was actually considering that? This girl is either stupid or courageous, or maybe simply both.

“I'm serious guys, hindi ako papayag na magtrabaho para sa kanila. Kung hindi ang mga mahal nilang agents ang pagagawin nila edi napakadelikado ng ipagagawa sa atin!” she pointed out

“I know, but it's risky Brooke” Stacey commented, she's a analyzing expert and that is why I could agree with her

“I perfectly know that. I don't know which facility we are at nor which country we are but we just give it a go” she said “I have escaped once, why shouldn't I do it again?”

“By escaping, ibig mo bang sabihin yung pagtakas mo sa gusali?” Yvonne lifted one of her eyebrow

She shook her head and that made my jaw drop “Seriously?!” I exclaimed

I know she was THE Angel of Death but the fucking seriously?

She was about to say something about my— out reaction when someone interrupted her.

“I'm sorry ladies but I wouldn't let that happen” Agent Alexander suddenly said through the speaker

“Can you atleast fucking un-paralyze me?!” she exclaimed, again

“No can do Death” he said mockingly and I swear I saw her eyes inflamed in anger

“You have visitors” he added but it wasn't Agent Alexander but Agent Hendrickson's voice

The door suddenly opened and few people went in but what caught my eyes was my brother. I stood frozen but he ran and jumped at me.

I couldn't help myself to hug him tight. A tear fell, oh how God knows how I missed my brother.

He hugged me back. But after the hug he raised his eyebrows and placed his hands on his hips “Where in the world have you been Heaven Jae Andrew?”

I flinched, my younger brother is scolding at me. Great! “Technically I was kept here, Henry James Villa Monte”

He chuckled and hugged me again, I hugged him back of cource “I waited for you!”

A felt hot liquid at my back, he was crying. I started crying as well, I felt guilty at the same time happy.

“I'm sorry little brother, big sister wasn't able to fulfill her promise” I whispered at him

He just nodded and continued hugging me like as if I'll disappear when he lets go.

“You can stop hugging me now” I said but he shook his head

I laughed “I won't disappear, I promise and now I'll keep my promise”

After catching up with each other, he fell asleep on my lap.

I roamed my eyes and I saw Brooke arguing with a man that looks like her in his early forties, probably her father but what could they be arguing?

On the other side of the room, I saw Yvonne hugging a woman with the same features as her, she was in her late thirties. They we're giggling and I saw Yvonne's teary eyes.

My forehead crumpled when I saw Stacey on a corner of the room— alone. Doesn't she have a family?

I have this urge to go near her and hug her tight but Henry was sleeping on my lap and by the looks of it he haven't slept in a while. I suddenly felt guilty again, has Henry been lacking because of me and my promise?

I caressed his hair while still looking at Stacey. She was looking at the door and to the ground Infront of her. She has this disappointed look on her eyes. She was expecting someone, but that someone didn't show up.
