BROOKE
“How did you—” hindi niya mapatuloy ang sasabihin dahil hindi parin makapaniwala
“Hindi na tayo number one suspect” nakangiti kong saad “At, alam ko na ang bago nating lead”
Tutok sila sa'kin, may hindi makapaniwala ang iba nama'y namangha.
“Remeber what Mr. Hendrickson said?” tanong ko pero walang sumasagot “I became a fucking cheerleader because of your lead. I thought it was a waste of my time but I was mistaken”
“Your point is?” tanong ni Alexander, yung ahente
“Again, this is why you never caught them” komento ko naman “Hindi niyo ba talaga nakuha!?”
“One of the pretty pompom heads are in the gang or associated with it” saad ni Stacey
“Gets na mga mahal naming agents?” saad ko na may pagka-sarkastiko
Natawa naman si Boss A, pero sinamaan siya ng tingin ni Hendrickson kaya natahimik bigla.
Binaling niya ang tingin sa'kin at tumikhim “So, what are you saying Ms. Santos?”
“3 suspects: Ms. Anica Heartily, Ms. Vivory Grace Mcillon, and Mr. Apollo Grey” panimula ko “As on what Cipher said, one of them is in or associated with one of the Elegiac's Requite Gang. We need to learn more information about them and how we can infiltrate their main headquarters and kill Finagle”
Biglang nilamon ng katahimikan ang buong silid. Isang nakakabinging katahimikan at walang may balak na basagin ito. Para silang nagproseso sa mga nalalaman, hindi parin makapaniwala? Bakit, ganon ba ako ka bobo sa tingin nila?
“Magtitigan lang ba tayo dito or gagawa na tayo ng plano?” tanong ko sa kanila
Bumugtong-hininga ako “Hello? May kasama pa ba ako or dinakip na ba sila ng alien at pinalitan ng kamukha nilang mga walang utak?”
Biglang tumikhim si Hendrickson “S-so dahil tatlo ang suspect, hahatiin na'tin ng tatlong bahagi ang grupo. Death manmanan mo si Ms. Heartily, Queenie at Boss A kayo kay Ms. Mcillon, Cipher at Lady Minx kay Mr. Grey kayo”
“Bakit mag-isa lang ako?” taas kilay kong tanong “At ano ang gagawin ninyong dalawa?”
“Fine, Alexander tutulungan mo si Death” utos niya dito
Umiling ang lalaki “No can do, I have another mission to attend”
Kumunot ang noo ng ahente “Why did they assign you they already know you already have a mission”
Kumibit-balikat lang ang sagot nito kaya napasabunot nalang siya sa sariling buhok.
“Change of partne—” babaguhin na sana niya ang partners pero nakaalis na ang mga kasama “Fuck!”
“Why am stuck with this psychotic vixen!?” bulong niya na naging dahilan para hindi ko ito marinig
Tumikhim ako kaya nakuha ko ang atensyon niya “Tapos ka na bang magreklamo?”
Bumugtong-hininga nalang siya “I don't have any other choice, do I?”
Umiling ako kaya mas lalong na busangot ang mukha niya “Let's start tomorrow, I still need to process things”
Napatango nalang ako at umalis na kaya naiwan siya roon, mag-isa.
THEODORE
I watched her from my peripheral vision as her silhouette boarded the elevator and as the elevator door closes.
I'm stuck with her, great.
I can't even stand her guts! She's to much for me to handle. I don't want to babysit her.
I sat on the sofa staring at nothing, once again I am alone.
I shut my eyes, but opened them immediately when the gush of fuzzy memories flow down. Those very unpleasant memories that hunt me.
I suddenly remembered Death, she actually knows what she's doing. The plan she made was unexpected and twisted, but it worked.
But that is actually why I am worried. She doesn't take orders very well and so as I. I am more of a order maker than order follower kind of person and that'll make a huge argument between us two.
She knows the gang and I think she'll use that in her advantage. I'm not making it look like a bad way but I don't want to follow orders from a criminal psychopath.
The elevator door suddenly opened and Alexander, the agent was seen.
“You look awful” he commented and snickered
“I thought you have another mission” I said trying to change the topic
He shurgged “I can do that tommorow”
“I'm doomed” I blurted out
He curiously look at me “Am I talking to Agent Hendrickson or Theo?”
“I don't know anymore” I honestly answered “This mission, it just brings up to much memories. The bad once”
“Is it Ana?” he asked “I mean, Brooke is here and you know...”
“I already moved on” said I “And that's the last thing I'm thinking right now”
“Woah” he said “Have I heard it right? You moved, on!?”
I simply nodded “It's been years and it doesn't hurt like it used to anymore”
“Isa lang ang ibig sabihin n'yan” he said
I look at my comrade and friend “And that is?”
“You already replaced her, there” he said while pointing to my chest
I raised my eyebrow “That's imposible”
I don't know if I was telling it to him or to myself.
“Is it one of the girls?” he asked
“I told you, that's impossible” I said, but my voice seems to be lower
“Nothing is impossible, my friend” and just like that, he left me there downfolded
