DWS III: The Vixen (UNDER REVISION)

16

I took a half bath dahil matatagalan lang ako sa pagpapatuyo ng buhok ko kapag nagbasa ako ng tuluyan. I wore my black stretchable pants and paired them with my black tube top and a brown leather jacket. I also wear my brown combat shoes and put my hair into a tight bun. I wear my lenses and drop some eyedrops on my eyes. As much as I don't want to wear this, magiging sagabal lang ang salamin ko. I just also fixed my eyebrows and put on face powder and lip balm.

After fixing my look, lumapit ako sa may mesa at kinuha ang dalawang folder doon. Nilagay ko nalang din ang phone ko sa may backpocket at iniwan ang bag sa kwarto, but of course, I didn't leave my gun and put it in my side pocket.

As I went out of my unit, it automatically locked. Naglakad ako papunta sa may elevator at naghintay pero bago pa ako makasakay ay nag-ring ang phone ko. I quickly got it. Napaarko ang kilay ko ng pangalan ni Leila ang nag-flash sa screen ko. Kaagad na sinagot ko iyon.

[Aki! Where are you? Kami naman ba ang tinataguan mo?! We already searched the whole park! Even Kean doesn't know where—]

"I already left that place. Magkita nalang tayo mamaya sa penthouse and take note that you and Mattheo cannot run away from what you did," I said and ended the call. Saktong pagtapos ng tawag ay bumukas ng elevator kaya sumakay na ako roon. I pressed the sixth floor, where the members were waiting. I sent an email to them earlier asking them to meet me here, and as I am expecting, nandito nga sila.

Pagkalabas ko ng elevator ay bumungad agad sa akin ang training hall na medyo may kaingayan pero nang makita ako ng mga nandito ay natahimik nila. They stand on their places like soldiers waiting for their commander's command. Naglakad ako papunta sa harap at tinignan sila isa-isa.

I opened the folder containing the profiles of the twenty people Mr. Andrius is asking. Isa-isa ko silang tinawag at pinapunta sa harap. I already informed them about what will happen pero gusto ko pa rin silang makausap ng maayos.

I dismissed the others after calling the twenty men. Actually, lima sa kanila ay babae at masasabi kong maasahan at malalakas din dahil hindi naman iba ang training ng magkaibang gender. Matatagal na rin silang mga myembro kaya alam kong magagampanan nila ng maayos ang ipapagawa sa kanila sa NZ.

"Good afternoon. Like what I've emailed you earlier, the twenty of you are the chosen and trusted members to go to New Zealand to guard our place there. I am putting my trust in you since I believe that you will not embarrass my decision in front of the other leaders. Understand?" I said. All of them saluted and answered me with a yes. Napangisi nalang ako at napatango.

"Good. You may now take a rest and pack your things. You will leave at 7 AM sharp tomorrow." Sunod-sunod namang lumabas ang lahat. I closed the folder that I was holding and scanned the room. Nandito pa ang iba at nagti-training kaya pinaalalahanan ko sila na pagbutihin ang ginagawa.

Funny that I am now the head of this place. Na ako ang pinagkatiwalaan kahit may iba naman na mas worth it, mas mataas ang kaalaman, at mas malakas kaysa sa akin. I am way too young to be the head of the second-biggest hideout of the Dark World Society here in Japan, but I will prove them that I am worthy of this position.

Napailing nalang ako at naglakad papunta sa elevator. Mabuti na lamang at nasa same floor and lift kaya mabilis akong nakasakay. Sunod naman akong pupunta sa 7th floor kung saan nandoon na ngayon ang mga tao na balak sumali sa amin.

They are a total of ten persons according sa file na sinend sa akin ni sir Dmitri. I just need to filter them, kung walang matitira na deserving ay wala akong magagawa. Dati din naman ay may dumadating sa point na wala talagang nagagawang maging official member, may batayan kasi para makasali ka and some are really lacking the last thing that we are looking for.
