MISSION IN THE LAND OF FREE, APPLE CITY
ALEGRIA POV:
"Poisonous, you have a new mission."
"Ano?! Kababalik lang po namin ah. Mission na naman. Dont we have a rest even just a day?" i get my gun and pointed in the womans leg whom I dont know the name and pull the trigger.
"Mom!" MT said, i point the gun on her while gritting my teeth.
"I told you i dont want to be called in that disgusting word!" I said in furios voice.
"We have a mission Master and yet you binaril mo ang isa mga kasamahan ko?!" sabi niya.
"I dont want the way she talk to me its making me irrated now that i know their next move, finding the missing detective," ngumisi ako.
"Detective? Why are they finding him?" she ask.
"That detective has been hiding for almost sixteen years together with his documents, informations about our group, about our illegal deeds."
"Why you didn't kill him right away?" she said.
"How can i kill that Detective? I dont even have information about him for the past 16 years!"
"That detective knows a lot about our organization. Nakakuha siya ng impormasyon tungkol sa organization natin dahil ang hawak niyang kaso ay may kinalaman sa atin hindi ko siya naasikaso dahil may mas importante akong aasikasuhin, it was the Agent that i plan to interrogate dahil ang Agent na iyon ay may nalalaman din." Panimula ko.
"Nalaman ng Agent na pupunta kami sa kanya thats why wala kaming nahanap, we didn't kill the agent yet because we thought that we can use him in the future. Ang hindi namin alam ay binigay niya ang mga impormasyon na tungkol sa organization sa kaibigan niyang detective, kaya wala kaming nahanap. Hindi namin yun nalaman agad, nalaman lang namin after a month and when we try to find the detective, he's nowhere to be found. We tried to find him pero wala, so we give up on him." pagkwekwento ko.
"Nung hindi namin mahanapan ang detective, binalikan ko yung Agent and ask where is he but i didn't get an answer thats why i killed him. I thought killing that agent will end but im sure that he left something to her granddaughter thats why pinahanap ko ang granddaughter ng agent na pinatay ko,"
"Hindi din kami nakakuha ng impormasyon sa kanya because she is under the protection. We're not lucky naunahan tayo ng grupong iyon. Their last card to bring us down is that Detective who have a lot of information and evidence that will surely bring us down. Naging kampante ako sa detective dahil walang ano mang information ang kumalat tungkol sa kanya kaya ang alam ko namatay na ito. Thats why i need you to find him,"
"Should we kill him?
"No, bring him to me."I said.
"Got it Master," tumango ako.
I wont let you bring us down Ye squad, not now that my papers are on the process on getting the only free spot in the 12 generals.
I am confident that i will be choosen and not a forever waiting candidate.
ELLA (CHAMPAGNE) POV:
Walkin' through a crowd, the village is a glow
Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeat under coats
Everybody here wanted somethin' to more
Searching for a sound we hadn't heard before
And it said
Welcome to New York
It's been waitin' for you
Welcome to New York, Welcome to New York
'The welcoming music filled our ears, instead of enjoying the beat natawa na lang kami ng mapait.'
Nadaanan namin yung mga taong sumasayaw habang napapalibutan sila ng mga manonood. I look at the paper and read the Information about him together with his Background Information.
'Detective, where are you hiding?'
Naghanap kami ng Hotel na maaaring tuluyan yung pwede kaming lahat. Hindi madali pero nakahanap din.
"Room 109," sabi ni Yate. Sumakay kami sa Elevator. No one dared to move while we're inside. The door of the elevator opened, lumabas kami at sinundan namin yung babaeng naggaguide hanggang sa makarating kami sa kwarto.
"This is your Room, Enjoy your stay Ma'am and Sir." Nangiti niyang sabi ngunit sa itsura ng kanyang mukha ay may nais siyang sabihin.
Yate swipe the key card. Narinig ko ang pagbukas ng pinto. Itinulak namin ito at pumasok. Malawak ang kwarto, kumpleto ang gamit, maayos at malinis.
'nice' I lay on the couch.
"Whats happening in our academy?" i ask while looking at the ceiling. We gave a loud sigh.
"What will happen to us?" I ask again.
"Dont worry about that, we will definitely save our academy," he said cheering us.
ZEY ZEY POV:
We wake up early to search all over the Manhattan, New York to find the missing detective. We were given 2 days to find him.
"A, B, and C Team Snoopy (Vin), Whiskey (Zey zey), Crazy (Ayan) and Vodka (Ayan), J (Sneezy), Cy (Rum) hahanapin niyo sa pamamagitan ng pagtatanong. You'll take care of North, East, and South of Manhattan,"
"D Team, Lazy (Ren) and Tequilla (Pia), Find him through CCTV's ask any food chain na maaari niyang pagkainan and collect all the CCTV footage make sure na walang ibang makakakuha,"
"E and F Team, Go to the High places and monitor our move, kung may sumusunod. Rian (Grumpy) and (Ella) Champagne, South and West. Cas (Sleepy), Riana (Wine), North and East
"G Team, Me, Happy and Sake we'll take care of West,"
'Bakit nagtatago ang detective na iyon?'
'Hindi ba siya nakapaglaro ng tagu-taguan noong bata siya?' We split up. We rent a motorcycle. Sumakay ako at pinaandar ni Vin yung motorsiklo. Pinatakbo niya ito sa tamang bilis.
I saw a Middle-aged woman walking in the street. I tapped Vin's shoulder, he park the motorcycle near a store. I run towards the woman and ask her.
"Did you saw this man?"
"No," sagot nito.
"How about you?" i ask the other woman. She also said, No. Pinagpatuloy naming magtanong hanggang nakakita kami ng isang kainan. A chinese food Restaurant.
"Vin, Are you hungry?" i ask without facing him.
"Yeah, Come on." he hold my risk and dragged me inside the restaurant.
Pagkapasok namin ay agad naming narinig ang Chinese Music gawa ng ingay ng mga ibat ibang instrumento. As we sip a coffee, they played a relaxing music.
"That detective is so cool," rinig namin mula sa kabilang table. Lumapit kami at tinanong kung sino yung detective.
ELLA (CHAMPAGNE) POV:
"A Team, Whiskey and Snoopy, you are being followed by a Motorcycle," Wine said.
"W-what?!"
"They are tailing you wherever you go," dagdag ni Wine.
"The heck!" she cursed.
"A Team, Whiskey and Snoopy standby dont go anywhere," sabi ni Yate.
"How about from our B Team from the East? Crazy and Vodka?"
"W-wait!" ani ni Zey zey. "We've got an information, pumupunta siya sa isang Chinese Coffee Shop dito sa North Manhattan,"
"Got it,"
"Hello, This is Vodka from B Team reporting from the East. Every Thursday, pumupunta siya dito sa isang famous Chinese Restaurant," sabi niya.
"Yeobosseyo?! Yeobosseyo!? This is Rum Reporting from the South. There's a Chinese Company here the owner was his friend,"
"Urgent! Urgent! All of the Footage are gone, naunahan tayo." Biglang sabi nila Pia.
'Chinese! 'Chinese?!'
"Wait! I think I know where he is," biglang sabi ko.
"Where?" Yate asked.
"China Town," I said. "Imagine, every information you've got about him has a connection on chinese there's a possibility that he is living in China Town," I sad.
"The one who's tailing Snoopy and Whiskey was a member of Poisonous," Wine Said.
"So they are here," Yate said.
"Why?" Happy ask.
"Its probably the Detective. Everyone, sa mga hindi pa nasusundan ng miyembro ng poisonous you'll be the one who will find the Detective in China Town,"
"Me?! Our location is near the China Town," i volunteered. Grumpy look at me but i just shrugged.
"Okay, we're rooting on you. Susunod kami for back up," Yate said.
-----------
The place is so noisy, filled with chinese music, shuffling and clicks of small mahjong tiles on the wood table, loud laugh of drank people, shout of the people cheering on someone but it became silent when someone on the stage suddenly fell down.
A lot people surrounded the scene to see what happened when a mysterious man appeard on the scene, wearing a Fedora hat, trench coat, high rise pants, declaring that.......
"She's dead," he said.
