Falling for the Heartless (Falling Series #1)

Chapter 01: Ninoire and Her Mission

"Late ka nanaman."

Tumungo lang ako sabay kamot sa ulo ko. Marami-rami nga akong nainom kahapon! Nagyaya ng club si Rocci, nakalimutan kong may meeting pala kami ngayon dito sa Headquarters. Ugh, ang sakit pa ng ulo ko.

"Susungitan ka nanaman n'yan," bulong ni Rocci at nang-aasar na ngumisi.

"Edi magsungit, pakialam ko naman diyan," pagtataray ko.

"Late ka na ngang dumating nakikipagdaldalan ka pa, Agent Nam," taray sa'kin ng Head naming si Madam Burikat, I mean Madam Buria.

"Sorry, Ma'am," sabi ko, nagtitimpi.

Nakaupo kami paikot sa table. Lima kaming pinapatawag, 'di ko alam kung ano nanamang pa-utot nitong si Buria at kailangan kaming tawagin ng sobrang aga.

5:30 am palang!

"What's the mission po ba, Ma'am?" sabi ni Ven, the sipsip agent.

"Nothing's new. I have missions for the five of you. Agent Ven, I'm assigning you on investigating the case happened in Palawan," panimula ni Buria.

"Again Ma'am? I thought na-solve ko na!"arte niya, napa-ismid lang kaming lima sa kaniya.

Paka-arte magsalita, deputa.

"I thought so too. You've made wrong conclusions, Agent Ven. One more mistake at tuluyan kang matatanggal. Ako ang napapahiya sa kapalpakan niyo, kung nakakalimutan niyo," aniya at napapahiyang tumungo ang boba.

"Agent Lin," tawag niya kay Rocci, "I'm assigning you to take the mission on Saudi, you've done a good job handling the case in Doha, so I think you deserve this important mission. I trust you, do your best shot," dagdag pa niya.

Todo ngiti lang ang gaga, palibhasa favorite nitong burikat na 'to.

"Thank you, Ma'am. I'll do my best," sagot ni Rocci kaya kinurot ko siya.

"Agent Nam," biglang tawag niya sa'kin kaya napalingon ako sa kaniya.

"You're always neglecting our meetings, but you're one of our best of the best agents. You know Senator Arrojo, right?" Dagdag niya at tumango lang ako.

That asshole senator who always think money can buy everything. Psh, dickhead.

"His son, Pieros Lander Arrojo, was now the target of all of his enemy in terms of political or business. Protect him, even if it cost your life. You're our best agent, Agent Nam, I'm afraid you'll turn me down, I hope not. Protect him, or you'll lose your job," sabi niya habang magkasalubong pa ang mga kilay.

I let out a deep sigh. What else should I do? Edi tanggapin. I need money. I need this job.

"I'll accept the mission, Ma'am,"sagot ko at tumayo,"Excuse me for a minute, I need a restroom," dugtong ko at lumabas agad sa room.

Napahilamos agad ako pagkapasok ko sa cr. Damn, protect the son of that dickhead? I don't want to do that pero anong magagawa ko? I badly need more money.

"Shit, this would be my last mission. Pieros Arrojo,"bulong ko sa sarili ko at lumabas na ng cr para bumalik doon.

Mabilis lang naman natapos ang meeting sa headquarters, nagbigay lang naman si Madam ng mga mission. Kasama ko ngayon si Rocci at tumatambay kami sa may Starbucks, dito sa Makati.

Roccielyn was my bestfriend when it comes to being an agent, or just me. Sa tatlong taon na pagiging agent ko, siya lang naman ang babaeng tingin kong matino at siya lang at si Isaiah ang nakakahalubilo ko, madaldal din kasi 'tong gagang 'to, which is the opposite of me.
