Lux Quinn

Chapter 2: The Journal

Aella's POV

"You okay?" Agent Brittan asked while handing me a bottle of water. She looks very pretty kahit na ang plain ng shirt at leather jacket na suot niya. She looks ravishing. Napatango nalang ako kahit na nanghihina pa rin ako nang dahil sa nangyari.

Napatingin ako sa mga FBI Agents na inaassist si Gino palabas ng apartment ko. Until now, hindi ko pa rin maisip kung bakit niya ako gustong patayin.

"Why do you think he wants to kill you?" My glance shifted to Agent Brittan na nakaupo na rin pala sa tabi ko dito sa likod ng ambulance car.

"I don't know."

"Hindi mo ba talaga alam?" A voice asked. I looked at him, puzzled. It was Agent Rox.

"I'm the victim here. Why do I feel like you're suspecting me of something?" hindi makapaniwalang tanong ko. Ni hindi ko nga alam na isa pala ang taong 'yon sa mga gusto nilang mahuli.

"I was just asking you, Ms. Quinn. It's just rare for a most wanted fugitive to target a single civilian." He said.

I obviously know that. Kaya nga hindi ko alam kung bakit ako ang target niya.

"Yeah right. Why would a very famous fugitive target a nobody?" sarcastic na tanong ko. Pero natulala nalang ako nang may bigla akong marealize. "But maybe, I wasn't really the target." Napatingin silang dalawa sa'kin. "Maybe it's something that I possess."

Natawa ng mahina si Agent Rox. I know na maangas ang agent na 'to pero hindi ko alam na nasobrahan pala siya sa kayabangan. "And what do you think it is?"

"Yeah, what is it?" Agent Brittan also asked.

"My father's journal." I answered. That's the only thing that I could think of.

"Bakit naman niya pag-iinteresan ang jounal ng dad mo?" nagtatakhang tanong ni Agent Brittan sa'kin.

I looked at them both. "You need to take me to Director Weasley." I demanded.

"And why do you think we should do that?" Iritableng tanong ni Agent Rox.

I smiled at him. "Because that journal contains the names, details, locations and a lot more, about the most wanted fugitives and terrorists in the whole world. So..." Tumayo ako galing sa pagkakaupo sa likod ng ambulance at nag-umpisang maglakad papalayo sa kanila. Lumingon ako nang maramdaman kong hindi sila sumusunod sa'kin. "Shall we?"

I finally realized that Kirby ready did give me a better chance to get in to the FBI. And, finally, nandito na ako sa secret headquarters nila.

These agents are not just simple FBI agents as well the this whole Bureau. They post as an FBI Agents for a simple criminal investigations but when it comes to other high profile cases, they're being tagged as Secret Agents.

This is their headquarters.

It was in the middle of the city but it doesn't exist in any maps nor can be seen in any satellite. This is a very secluded area.

"If you're bluffing, alam mo kung ano'ng mangyayari sayo. So, you better be telling the truth." Agent Rox said. I looked at him and smiled.

Ayoko nang patulan ang mga patutsada niya dahil alam ko naman kung ano'ng totoo. Tahimik nalang akong nag-antay na makababa kami.

"Don't mind him." Agent Brittan whispered.

Nasa isang elevator kami na pababa. This is an underground headquarters below a closed parking lot. No wonder, never ko nadiscover ang headquarters na 'to.
