I. Hunter

Today is my first day in my new job as a Secret Agent Investigation Officer of Special Task force Andromeda. Limang taon kong pinaghirapang makamit ang position na ito. Mula sa pagiging isang taong intern, dalawang taong pagiging OIC assistant, hanggang sa isalang ako sa field. Dalawang taon pa akong nagsumikap upang maresolba ang mga krimen na ibinibigay sakin. I became a top agent, I became in demand in every crime. And now, finally, the Department Head Officer recognized me. Kahapon he honored me as a part of his team, the Special Task Force Andromeda. He handled the most important and special cases in the country. Kaya namang ngayong andito na ako pagbubutihin ko at pagsusumikapan ko pa. Kailangan ko tong gawin, nabuhay ako para sa dito, at gagawin ko ang lahat para sa trabahong ito.

"Again, I would like to welcome you as part of my team Officer Green." Pagbati sakin ni Chief Officer Alexandro Oliveros. "I have heard so much about you, a lot of good things and I can see much potential so I decided to recruit you. I have chosen you, so you should know that I am expecting a lot of things from you" nakangiti ngunit malaman nyang sabi sa akin.

" As you know, I am testing waters here. I can see a lot of potentials from young people in this field. And even though we are out solving other people's problems and crimes, the rate is rapidly increasing as time goes by.  As of now, we have a lot of pending unsolved crimes, unsolved killings. And Andromeda is being demanded in different parts of the country. So I expect you to do well in this job."

Puro pagtango lamang ang nagawa ko sa lahat ng sinabi sakin ni Officer. Looking at him now, I can still see the young Alexandro 12 years ago, kung kelan nagsimula ang pamamayagpag ng karera at pangalan nya sa larangang ito. Up until now he is still very smart, at kita mo na ang authority sa aura nya. But the passion in his eyes are still very the same. Like 12 years ago, ganun padin ang dedikasyon nya, at naalala ko kung pano ako nag desisyon na magpursigi upang makamit lamang ang lugar kung nasaan ako ngayon.  

"Pinatawag kita dito to formally introduced you to your partner." Kasabay nun ang pagpasok ng isang lalaki. Napalingon ako sa bagong dating, I know him. I have heard a lot of things about him.

"Meet your partner Officer Green" at dun ako tuluyang napaharap sa magiging partner ko. Inilahad nya ang kanyang kamay sakin, and I can see his resemblance with his father, same eyes, nose and lips. Parang pinabatang Alexandro ang nasa harapan ko ngayon.

"Hunter Oliveros" his deep voice interrupt me from checking him out. Agad ko din namang tinanggap ang kamay nya.

"Green" tanging sambit ko. "Call me officer Green" ang sabi ko na ikinataas ng makapal at ultimong nakaahit nyang kilay.

"Nice to meet you Officer Green. Call me Hunter, then." He said at tipid na ngumiti. Hinarap nya ngayon ang aming Boss na tila natutuwa sa kanyang nakikita.

I know Hunter. We attended the same University in college, and his very prominent not just because his a son of a very successful Chief Officer but because of his undeniable looks. Maingay ang kanyang pangalan, bukang bibig sya ng mga professor sa ibat ibang department. Kaya nga kilala ko sya kahit hinde kami magkapareho ng kurso. At nang makagraduate sya mas lalong umingay ang pangalan nya. The only son of Chief Investigator Officer Oliveros is taking over. Yan ang headline na madalas kong nababasa sa mga dyaryo.

" I know, you two will be exceptional and will bring Andromeda greater than it has ever become." Kasunod nun ang paglapag nya ng dalawang folder sa lamesa.

"And now for your first assignment..."
