We’re on a mission again but this time it’s different. I’m in an adrenaline state, ready to ace this task. This is my first ever major mission and no one can understand how ecstatic I’m feeling.
Eto na, eto na talaga. This is my time to shine. Mabuti na lang talaga at nakita na ng mga nakakataas ang aking galing.
I’ve done hundreds of minor missions. At first, I’m enjoying it until it felt boring. I wanted something more. I envy those who kill with their own hands. Yes, I plot the plan. Para malinis ang trabaho, lahat ng pasikot-sikot ako ang umaayos para walang sumabit.
But then it’s getting boring. Being behind the plan and just watching everything is boring. I want to be the one working in the plan. I will do the plan and work on the plan.
“Just stay behind me. Make sure no one sees us,”
What the fuck? I thought.
Inis akong suminghap, “Who are you to even command me?”
Hinarap niya ako at ngumisi, “Your senior?”
Ngumisi din ako, “Baka nakakalimutan mong parehos na tayo ng ranggo,”
Umiling-iling siya, “Syempre alam ko pero baka nakakalimutan mong mas matagal na ako sa ranggong ‘to kesa sa’yo and soon, I’ll move to the higher rank.”
Yes, I was promoted into a higher rank. They gave me the permission to kill with my own hands but they still paired me with someone. Someone they say is skilled.
“Talaga ba?” Fuck this asshole. Ngumisi ako at tinutok sa kanya ang hawak kong baril. “That won’t happen if I kill you, right?”
He looked at the gun pointed right to his chest. I pull the trigger, he dies.
And then his orbs met mine, “Shoot me.”
I rolled my eyes and put the gun down. Duh, hindi ako tanga. The whole organization will skin me alive if I kill their one and only heir.
“Tabi,” Tinabig ko siya at naunang mag lakad sa walang katao-taong hallway ng hotel.
Hindi ko nga maintindihan kung bakit siya nagtatrabaho sa kanilang organisasyon. Yes, I know that he’s the heir and eventually he’ll own it. Kaya nga dapat tinatago siya dahil pag namatay siya sa mga misyon e ‘di walang magmamana. But then I remembered what he once said, “If I die, I die. If I don’t, I don’t. Nasa misyon man o wala, kung oras ko na, wala akong magagawa.”
Nasa harap na kami ng hotel room ng target namin. He is standing beside me.
“Itago mo na ‘yang baril mo,”
Itinaas ko ang suot kong long gown at ibinalik ang baril kasama ng iba pang armas sa isa sa mga nakakabit na weapon holder sa’kin.
“Ready for the plan?” He asked, smiling at me.
Hinarap ko siya at inayos ang suot niyang tuxedo. Man he looks gorgeous for a killer even though I hate him. I smiled, “I’m excited. ‘Wag na nating patagalin pa.”
He knocked on the door and stood up straight and so did I.
After a few seconds, an old man, about late 50s, opened the door, wearing a smug face.
“Good evening Mr. Mason, I’m Jeon Jungkook sent to deliver you the finest girl we’ve got to offer.”
The once smugging face turned into a perverted one. He looked at me from head to toe, lusting all over.
Good thing he can’t see what’s under me.
“Go in,” He said.
I smiled sweetly and entered the room. A president’s suite is soundproof. Good choice of room for murder.
Jungkook cleared his throat, “I’m sorry Mr. Mason but you’ll have to pay us first and you can enjoy her all night.”
Jungkook looked at me. He’s smiling but I can tell he’s not happy. He seems frustrated. I secretly smirked. I knew it.
The old hag just gave us a lopsided grin, “Sure. Then make sure to disappear fast after I make the payment.” He went to me and held my waist which made me snitch a little with his dirty move.
Jungkook’s eyes traveled down his hands. Intensely glaring but he suddenly grinned, “Let’s proceed to the payment, Mr. Mason, so that I can go.”
Jungkook and I looked at each other. Ready for the next step of the mission.
