DEATH: The Assassin Princess

Chapter 3: New Mission

I glared at him. "Where.is.he?"

"I don't know...yet. Ang hirap n'yang i-trace. Masyadong maraming taong nakapaligid sa kanya. Bihira s'yang makita ng ibang tao. Masyado rin s'yang ma-ingat sa kilos n'ya."

"Fuck! Find him ASAP!!" I shouted at binato ang folder.

"You need to make a move too. Hindi ko s'ya kayang hanapin mag-isa."

"Then tell me now what to do!"

"Akala ko ayaw mo ng inuutusan." He smirked.

"Just--Ugh! TELL ME!!"

"Alright then. Just listen carefully at 'wag ka magsasalita hangga't 'di ako tapos."

"Fine!"

"You need to enter Tuazon International School."

I was about to react when he looked at me intently. Halatang seryoso na s'ya at walang halong biro. Parang nawala 'yung Jake na pala-biro at makulit.

"As what you have read in his profile, pag-aari n'ya ang TIS. Base sa mga research ko, ang school na ito ay balak n'yang pagtaguan ng isang secret laboratory para sa pag-gawa ng mga illegal drugs. Yes, he is a drug lord, at 'yan ang hindi alam ng lahat sa kanya." He explained.

"You're mission is to stop him from making that laboratory and at the same time, we can have our revenge." Dagdag pa n'ya.

"Ok then. Ako na mismo ang mag-aasikaso ng mga kailangan ko para makapasok sa school na 'yun." Sabi ko naman.

"No need. Alam ko namang papayag ka kaya inayos ko na ang lahat. You just have to take an exam para tanggapin ka bilang fourth year student. If you get 95% then pwede ka ng pumasok sa next week."

"When will I take the examination?" I asked.

"Any time this week."

"The I'll go there later."

"That would be better. I know how intelligent you are so hindi na ako magtataka kung makakapasa ka. But Dane, just a few reminders. You have to be careful. In that school, you will be simply known as Dane Torres, tahimik, inosente, at walang pakelam sa kahit sino. Wala dapat makaalam na ikaw ang assassin princess. And lastly, you can't just fall in love, dahil malamang makakasagabal s'ya sa mga plano natin."

Tinanguan ko lamang lahat ng sinabi n'ya.

"Oh. One more thing. Control your temper. You can't just make a move. We need to plan for the better. Alam ko kung gaano kaiksi ang pasensya mo. So please, control. Hindi mo kelangan makialam sa mga walang kwentang pambu-bully ng mga students doon. Understand? And.. BE POLITE."

"Fine."

I really can't wait na makaharap si Tuazon na 'yun. S'ya ang dahilan ng lahat, ang pagiging masamang tao n'ya. Hindi ako papayag na hindi makapag-higanti sa kanya. I will make him suffer and let him die in my own hands. I will surely kill you TUAZON.

After the conversation with Jake, pinalayas ko na s'ya dito sa bahay ko. Gusto pa n'ya akong samahan pero tumaggi ako. Delikado rin kasi na makitang magka-usap o magkasama ang isang Jake Cristobal at ako. Our clients know that Jake is the one taking the call, but they don't know me. Maari silang mag-hinala na ako si DEATH kapag nakita kaming magka-usap or magkasama.

After lunch, nagbihis na ako. Simple at hindi halatang isa akong assassin. I wear a skinny jeans, red shirt that matches my converse shoes. I also wear my not so ordinary nerdy eyeglasses na binigay sa akin ni Jake. Yes, not ordinary. Because these glasses can give me an instant basic information about sa kahit sinong taong makakaharap ko.
