GETTING OVER YOU

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

It's Saturday morning

I'm here at our Headquarters

Maga under time nalang ako para makapag ayos pa ako mamaya dahil 4 pm pa naman ang start nung Réunion Party nila Zach

Pumasok muna kami ni Blythe dahil kapag pinagpaliban namin itong araw ay matatambakan nanaman kami ng paperworks sa lunes

Kapag lunch na ay susunduin na kami ni Charles, duon ata sa condo ni John kami magreready, si Ate Thalia ang mag aayos samin

Dala na namin ni Blythe yung ibang gagamitin naming accessories mamaya

"Agent Carrel we need you in Investigation Department" Sambit ni Director Corpuz

Tumalima naman ako at sinuot ang badge bago pumuntang elevator para mabilis akong makarating sa taas

Pagkaraan ng ilang segundo ay nakarating na ako sa Investigation Department

Napakunot nuo ako ng mapansin ang pagkakagulo nila duon

"What's happening" Bungad ko

Naglingunan naman sila saakin kaya wala akong magawa kundi sumaludo sakanila

"Agent Carrel on duty, Ma'am Sir!" Tumayo ako ng tuwid at taas nuong tumingin sakanila

Sinaluduhan din nila ako kaya ibinaba ko na ang kamay ko at naglakad na papalapit sakanila at umupo sa bakanteng upuan malapit kay Uncle Henry

"So base on what information that County Agent South Korea sent to me, they notice some movements on their country" Paninimula ni Director Flores, my Uncle Henry "They need Agents in backup"

"Sorry to interfere but why CAP? Japan is nearer than us, they can even seek help from China" Naguguluhan kong saad

"Nice question Agent Carrel" Nakangiting sabi ni Uncle Henry "They doubt those country"

Napatawa ako ng pagak dahil sa sinabi ni Uncle Henry kaya napa kunot nuo si Director Corpuz dahil duon

"Why are you laughing Agent Carrel?" Naguguluhan na ani nito

"County Agent Japan is the best in Technology, County Agent China is good at spying, so why County Agent Philippines, huh?" Naninimbang kong tanong

"Because we are trustworthy, Sweetheart" Nakangiting sambit ni Uncle Henry

Napangiwi naman ako sa sinabi niya, are we really trustworthy?

Are Filipinos trustworthy? Dude i can tell, we are the nest of cheaters

"No" Pambabangga ko sa sinabi ni Uncle Henry "They are just dragging us into their mess, okay?"

Nakangiti namang lumapit sakin si Director Corpuz

"It's our work to help them Agent Carrel" She tapped my shoulder "It is our duty"

Hindi na ako maka angal pa dahil baka isipin nila binabastos ko na yung opinion nila

"Why am i here?" Tanong ko sakanila

"Because you're spacing out" Sarkastikang sabi ni Blythe

Muntik ko na makalimutan isa pala to sa head ng Investigation Department

Hindi halata

I mouthed 'Fuck you' as fast as i can to show my gratitude
