Codename: Alpha Zero

Chapter 34

ALPHERO

After we accepted Calvin's proposal, hindi na kami pumasok sa mga klase namin. Dumeretso kami sa hideout para ipaalam sa Decade ang nangyari.

We came up with a plan. I shared to them my goal on accepting his offer. Eliminating Grace, and eliminating Calvin, too. Baka maging malaking sagabal pa sa amin ang isa sa kanila kung sakali.

It may sound like we are the villains here. But I don't care. I have a firm belief that the end always justifies the means. Gagawin ko ang lahat para masunod ang plano na nasa isip ko.

Nagplano kami kung paanong mapapapunta si Grace sa lugar na gustuhin ni Calvin. Medyo nahirapan kami sa pag-iisip, kahit si Ocho.

Grace isn't someone you can easily fool. If I were to describe her as an object, it would be a radar. She can easily know whether someone's plotting against her or danger is getting near her.

Siya ang naninigurado dati kung magiging maayos ba ang isa sa mga misyon namin. Hanggang ngayon ay hindi ko pa alam kung ano ang motibo niya sa pagtraydor sa amin. I don't fully believe what Calvin told us. Matagal din naming nakasama si Grace.

It's either he's lying or she is just a good actress. Pero kahit ano pa 'yon, it will not benefit us anymore. My only concern is the Alpha Fleet and the fall of the Omega. Once na matapos na namin sila, magiging isang alamat na lang ang Alpha Fleet.

That's correct. The group will go extinct once the war with the Omega is over. That's the original plan of the group. The fall of the Omega will be our last mission, or in other terms, the endgame.

It's been hours since Calvin sent us the location where we will lure out Grace. He used the BlackMail to communicate with us so we don't have to worry about being tracked.

"It's a house at the foot of the mountains," I told the Decade. Napayuko si Ocho at mukhang nag-iisip. "Cinco, can you look for this address?"

Cinco nodded and I dictated her the address Calvin gave me. Ilang tipa lang sa keyboard ng laptop niya at ipinakita na niya ito sa amin.

Not like I expected, the house isn't old. Mukha pa nga siyang pagmamay-ari ng isang mayamang pamilya. A modern house at the center of a large field. Payapang-payapa ang lugar at hindi mo aakalaing may masamang pwedeng mangyari dito.

Muling binaling ni Cinco ang laptop sa harap niya at nagtipa ulit sa keyboard. Minsan naiisip ko kung napipindot ba niya ng maayos ang keyboard sa laptop niya sa bilis niyang mag-type. She faced it in front of us again.

"According to what I've searched, this house belong to the Carson family. Walang nakakaalam ng totoong trabaho nila kaya marami ang nagtataka kung bakit sa isang ganito kagandang bahay sila nakatira," she clicked something on her laptop. The picture of the house changed into an article. "Gaya ng nasa article, the Carson couple died a few years ago. The information about them ended there. Kung buhay pa ang anak nila, walang nakakaalam."

"But we know that their son is still alive-"

"No," Cinco cut Marsh's words short. Kumunot ang noo ni Marsh. "It says here that they don't have a son, but a daughter. Her name is Candy Carson."

Nagkatinginan kaming tatlo ni Marsh at Randy. That name obviously sounds familiar. But we are not sure yet until we heard a confirmation.

"Can you search the girl's information?" tanong ni Marsh. Hindi naman nagtaka si Cinco at mabilis na nagtipa sa kaniyang laptop.

"There is no information about a girl named Candy Carson except those from six years ago," Cinco said after reading what's on the screen of her laptop.
