The Missing Piece

Chapter 3

Kate's POV

           I'm in my office while reading the documents and  informations about the person I loathed the most.

I heaved a sigh and wandered my eyes inside my office for I will surely miss this while I'm gone.

My attention suddenly diverted into my computer screen where all the CCTV cameras are connected to it.

Nanliit ang mata ko while looking at CCTV one.

Christian Troy Smith.

I'd never thought he was here all the time. Edi sana dito ko na lang  pinapunta si James. I texted him a while ago na sa Scott Academy nalang kaming tatlo mag-meet. Hindi ko man lang naisipan na dito na pala sila laging pumupunta—that explains it all.

I, on myself, felt a bit embarrassed dahil hindi ko man lang naramdaman ang presensya nya dito sa HQ.

The other mafias know na hindi na nagpaparamdam ang Sierras. Pano kung may mangyari kay James otw? Thinking na magkasama lang sila ni Christian all the time pero hindi pala.

I shook my head for having a wrong decision. That's how I consider it. That's how perfectionist I am because that's how dangerous it is.

Binalik ko ang tingin ko sa screen. Observing him, na nagtatago sa isang napakalaking ornamental plant sa lobby, I am sensing something isn't right.

I searched for something that may look suspicious in the other cameras, but I failed. And it would really be impossible if that, fortunately, happens.

Well, speaking of the devil—James, aside from him na kararating lang, wala ng iba pang tao sa paligid.

And then it hit me.

I smiled when I realized whom Cristian is hiding from.

Maybe he just wanted to give his bestfriend a small surprise.

I should also have my surprise too. I smirked at the thought.

Actually, I just came back after a break. A month or two I think. I just wanted to plan everything. So I took a break and let Christian and James handle the org.

I went down to have my grand entrance and welcome them both.

I hid from the opposite corner where Christian is hiding. Timing naman dahil kakapasok lang ni James na nakatungo lang na para bang malalim ata ang iniisip. At kelan pa nagkaisip ang isang yan? Tss.

Christian then, grabbed the opportunity. Tinutok nya agad ang baril nya kay James.

James' shocked reaction is written all over his face at halatang nag-isip pa.

Kahit kailan talaga. Engot.

Itinaas nya ang dalawang kamay niya habang si Christian naman ay nagpipigil ng tawa. I guess it's time for me to barge.
