Montreal High School

MHS: Twenty-Three

Heaven's POV

I was on my bed, resting. Kararating lang namin at halos ayaw akong pagalawin ni Rizelle at Penelope sa kinahihigaan ko. Kesyo daw, baka mag-open ang wounds ko, baka mabinat daw katawan ko, baka pagalitan sila ni Skie na hinayaan akong gumalaw-galaw pa. Ang daming baka, pero somehow, I was happy because they worry about my condition. Never in my life I had experience this since my parents seldomly gave me opportunities on socializing on my own.

The number one strict rule was, never trust easily but it was a very hard thing to in grave on Hans' mind. And it was a top problem for us, specially now. However, there worry about me wasn't pleasing me that much, it came over acting that even in changing my position on bed gave them grave worry. Kaya para akong estatwa dito na nakatingin lang sa kisame. When they let me eat, they were very worried to touch me, why? Kesyo daw baka mahawakan nila ang sugat ko at baka mabuka pa ito, they are afraid they don't know a thing about medicine. They truly hate medicine.

Hans, on the other hand was laughing his ass out because of my dormmates over acting worries. Dana was so swayed by their reaction that she couldn't express her emotions so, she stormed out the room and choose too spy her target. Rain was just calm but she was acting like a mother, she cooked me food, she asked if I was okay, she told me to rest and time to time she visit and asked if I needed something. And it was a very touching act of her.

Now, thinking about them, I was wondering if I would involve them, this time. What would be the possibilities that would happen if they would be involve in this mission that I insisted on daddy? High possibility was, them being in danger. The accident wasn't really an accident. They made a scene as if I was over speeding that I crashed on them. And that was a big no, cars are very seldom on the road of Montreal High School. Many were so afraid on that school because it was a very famous school on gangster teens.

But, on the other hand, if they would be involve they would be a big help, specially Rain, remember when we hacked the laptop? She was the mastermind on that, and she was the only one on our group who has plenty knowledge on technology, it was a very big lost if she'll not be involve here. Dana and Rizelle, they were famous reapers on Mafia Organization, Dana was my personal reaper, while Rizelle was just a reaper who was sent here, with a 'I don't know why reason' them being involve was a big help on combat fighting and sneaking. Penelope is a daughter of a soldier, if she would be involved here, her parents would be blamed. Specially her father, he was serving the government in defense, while Penelope? She'll be serving us? Criminals? No, I wouldn't risk that, although Penelope could add as our defense. Plus, they're safety was first to come. I couldn't risk their safety just because of my personal issue. Right! That was it, there safety comes first. So, would I do this alone?

How bout the boys? Jacob was Dana's twin, he was also my personal reaper but would I afford having him involve without Dana's knowledge? No, Dana will have grudges on me, and she'll maybe blame me if Jacob was in dangered. How bout Skie's gang? Dwayne? Marcus? Charles? Like Penelope, Rizelle and Dana they have skills on combat fighting, they could add defense but again, there safety comes first. And Skie? Taylor proved my suspicion on Ian's identity and now, Skie was Ian, having him involved was a very big NO! I have already lost him years ago, I can't afford on loosing him now, I can't on the second time around. Truly enough, he was Sir John's son, the future Grande Mafia's leader, he was amazing on sneaking, spying, acting, and fighting long and short range but it wasn't enough to make him involve on my personal issue towards the organization.

Heaving a sigh I made a decision, that brainstorming was incredibly long to make me decide but it was helpful. Yes, all of them has a big help on fighting the organization but I repeat to myself, their safety comes first. After all I need someone to watch over Hans. Then I remember, I demanded daddy to find a loyal and trustworthy reaper. Crap! I need to stop him, my mind had already decided.

I reached my phone and dialed Daddy's number. After three rings he picked up.

"Heaven?" his voice was full of confusion "You should focus on--"

"--resting?"I cut him off "Yeah yeah dad, I know that but I have something to tell you."

"What is it now?" he said after heaving a sigh

"I changed my mind" I said, I heard something in the background but shrugged it off.

"You sure? You mean, you'll stop your plan on infiltrate the organization?" his voice was full off hope, I scowled

"Not that" I was imagining him on dropping his pen, well I heard something again on the background.

"Then what?" his voice was laced with frustration. Dad usually conceal his emotions and now hearing him with his voice easily changed his emotions was so rare.

"I will do it alone. Don't find a reaper because my companions will do it instead. They'll watch over Hans as I do the mission alone." I heard a gasp and I can't tell whether it was on daddy's line or not.

"What Heaven? Are you insane?" dad's voice was angry, anger was laced on his voice. But what could I do?

"What dad? You'll choose to sacrifice someones life just to take that damn organization down?! Remember they are humans too! They can't leave on being manipulated or being told! What? You'll threat them just so they could accompany me?! Dad their safety also comes first! Now taking down that stupid organization alone was the best idea! My purpose was too eliminate whoever was after Hans life. I already vowed myself to take all risk just to make Hans safe. Please, respect my decision dad. Because, its already final. Please" I burst out.

I couldn't help it. Yes, honestly I was so scared, fear crept me. I do missions alone, I do it clean and perfect. I do have a victory smirk whenever I finish it off. But now, this was different, usually my mission was to eliminate someone who was a threat both on government and Mafia, or spy someone and let a reaper kill them, or maybe, take documents. And all I do it clean. But now, this mission I'll do was to infiltrate a very powerful orgamization, who was a threat to the government and Mafia, who was doing illegal business and a threat on the whole world and my brothers life. So, even if the fear was on my heart, that the chance of me having my early demise if ever, was creeping me out, I'd still continue it for the worlds sake specially for my brother.

Heaving a deep sigh and a determined voice I spoke lastly.

"Dad, give me this last chance. Let me do it, though the thought of me having a between life and death mission, is really worrying the shit out of you, please just trust me, that I could do it. Just let me heal completely and I'll start my move. But, don't tell anybody its just you and me. Please."

I was a rare person who say the three magic words. Please, Sorry and Thank You were rare to hear on me, because I gave them to people who deserve it and now I need it.

Dad sighed before giving the word I wanted to hear.

"Okay, I'll let you. But, please. Please do it like you did on your previous mission. Do it safe, clean and as much as possible, unscathed. Good Luck, daughter, good luck Heaven." and I smiled

"Thank You, Daddy. Love You. Maybe, I can't promise but I'll try....."
