PROLOGUE

We’re here at the Main Head Quarter of Abilio Cryptic Agency because Commander X called us to come over.

"Pinatawag ko kayo para sa bago ninyong misyon." Commander X said as Dixie, his secretary, gave us one by one a black folder.

Black folder means a difficult mission.

Binuksan ko ang folder na hawak ko maging ang mga kasama ko at bumungad sa akin ang identity ng tatlong tao.

"You will be sent to a different location of Head Quarters covered by ACA to do your mission. I’m looking forward to your success. Good luck and God bless." Ani Commander X at iniwan na kami.

I read the details tenaciously and sighed. This is going to be hard but with my skills? I think it wouldn't be a hindrance for my next mission.

"I'm leaving." I said before storming out the room. Not minding the others. May kaniya kaniya na naman kaming misyon, hindi ko na kailangan pa ang opinyon nila.

Being an agent for how many years isn't easy, at first. Pero ngayong sanay na ako sa paggamit ng mga armas medyo hindi na ako nahihirapan.

And I have a wonderful team. Kapag magkasama kami hindi kami pumapalya. But I'll do my job now on my own. Without them.

Dumeretso kaagad ako sa bahay at hinanda ang mga gamit na kakailanganin ko. Kinuha ko din ang paborito kong baril at saka bomba.

I love bullets but I love bombs better. Hindi ako matatawag na dakilang bomber kung hindi, I'm also good in tracking. But in Cotabato, I think hindi ko na magagamit yun. Unless it's an easy peasy job.

Nang makatapos sa paghahanda nilagay ko ito sa loob ng isang itim na bag at saka itinago sa ilalim ng kama. I hate wasting my time but I still need to call my dad for a private plane. Or I should not.

I get my phone and dialed my dad's phone number.

[Hey, do you need anything Zhail?]

Napangiti ako ng kaunti sa malambing niyang boses. Dad really can melt my heart in just a word.

"Can I borrow your plane dad?" I asked him.

[Of course princess, you can. Saan ka ba pupunta? These past few months you've been going out. Are you on travelling?]

Napatawa ako ng sarkastiko. "Come on dad, do you need to know about that? I just want to have a vacation. Since summer naman talaga."

[Princess you're still sarcastic as ever. And about the plane let's talk about that in person. I want to see you.]

I smiled a bit and bid my goodbye. Kung ako isang agent si dad naman ay isang heneral. How did I end up right here? Hindi ko din alam.

Kasi noon gusto ko lang yung bomba, tapos nasali ako sa isang agency at ngayon naging isang agent na talaga.

Actually isa ako sa mga military nurse, but since busy ako sa trabaho umalis muna ako sa ospital. Nag leave ako ng isang buwan dahil yun lang naman ang naiatas sa'kin. Those maoist is a scumbag, I'll kill them with my bare hands.

But the first rule in my mission is never kill the communist. Papaano ako makaganti sa mga walanghiyang yun? Kahit isa lang sa kanila gusto kong patayin.

I left my house together with a huge money and my things. I drove my car to our house.

I entered the tight security in our house. When I parked my car in the garage, one of our securities offered a hand. I shook my head and didn't say anything.

Dumeretso ako sa office ni dad dahil doon talaga siya nakikita kapag wala siya sa sala o kusina.

"Good afternoon," I greeted him as I opened the door widely. I smiled a little when he disregard his attention on the paper and walked towards me, giving me a tight hug.

"Ohh my baby, how are you?"

I chuckled and hug him back. "Okay as always. Ikaw? How are you? I've heard about the massacre in San Isidro."

He bagger off and sat on the sofa. "Yes, I'm kinda stress because of that. Pero mas malala ata yung nangyari ngayon sa Cotabato."

I grinned surreptitiously as he mentioned the wrangle in Cotabato. Ni hindi niya man lang alam na isa ako sa lalaban doon, well not literally. Ako lang talaga yung magpapakulong doon sa mga leader.

"I know it'll be over soon," I promise it'll be over soon.

He nodded and smiled. "I hope so too, anyways when were you leaving? Do you need the plane right away?"

I nodded several times. "I actually want to leave right now."

Napataas siya ng kilay. "Hindi pwedeng ipabukas?"

Kung pwede lang dad gagawin ko na sana kaso isang buwan lang ang binigay sa'kin para mapakulong ang tatlong yun.

I just shrugged my shoulders making him sighed in a defeat again. "Okay I'll call Peter to ready the plane. You'll be okay right?"

I nodded again. "Of course dad" Hindi ko lang alam kung uuwi ba akong nasa kabaong na o kung may sugat ba o kung buhay pa.

"Okay, talk to your mom before you leave. She's sulking."

Natawa kaming dalawa dahil talagang nagtatampo ang mama ko sa kahit na anong bagay. Lalo na kapag hindi ako nakakauwi sa isang araw sa bahay.

I left his office and opened the next room which is my parents room.

"Afternoon mommy." I said looking at my beautiful mother.

"Oh my Aizhalie!" She beamed as she pulled me into a tight hug. "I miss you! Hindi mo na ako dinalaw!"

I laughed a bit. "Sorry mom, talagang napapalabas ako ng bansa ngayon."

She rolled her eyes. "Kasali ba sa nursing ang buwanang out of town?"

Napangiwi ako ng mabanggit niya ang nursing. Right, wala pala silang kaalam alam sa sitwasyon ko at sa balak kong pagtalikod sa pagiging nurse ko.

"Mom, campaign yun." Pagsisinungaling ko.

I didn't even shuttered as I lied in front of them. I was used to it.

She tsk-ed and turned her back on me. "Just be careful with that campaign of your and even all of your medical missions."

Ngumiti ako ng bahagya at pinigilan ang sariling hindi tumawa ng malakas. Kung alam mo lang mommy na ibang misyon ang ginagawa ko talagang sasabunutan mo ako.

"Yes naman po mommy,"

I bid my goodbyes to the both of them before driving to the LIA. The plane is already settled when I arrived, ni hindi na sila nagsayang pa ng oras at lumipad na papuntang Davao.

Through the flight I was just sleeping. I need a lot of sleep before the mission, dahil alam kong magiging busy at hindi na naman ako makakatulog ng maayos nito.

I also need a concrete details about that bastard. I still need to go to ACA Headquarters in Davao. This is extremely a difficult one, bakit ko ba sinabing madali lang?

When the plane descended, I get my bag and leave the plane. It's midnight and I barely study about Mindanao. Ni hindi ko alam kung saan ako matutulog ngayon, hindi ko din alam kung saan ang mga hotel dito.

I sighed and called a taxi. Good thing he knew how to enlighten my worries, he drove me to the nearest hotel that I can sleep with. But before I arrived, a text from Commander X receipted.

From the meantime, use the house in Davao. You'll also have the house in Cotabato near the ACA Headquarters. Do your job well, Agent Angel. I'm counting on you, bomber. Goodluck.

I stopped and told the taxi driver to drive me to ACA Headquarters since it was the nearest place I can slept with. When I saw the big enclosure I get the bag carefully and payed the driver.

I went out from the taxi and shot a brow when I noticed a tight security. Never been touched, never been faitoured. What a real nice agency, Abilio.

I played with my ID and waited for someone to open the gate. Seconds passed, the gate opened and a woman in a suit came out.

"Agent Angel, it's nice seeing you in person. I'm a fan, bomber."

I didn't say anything and just looked at her emotionlessly. I followed her when she entered the Agency and guide me to my room.

"Can I talk to your senior? I need to study the details about Caion Altaraza and Wave Montreal."

"You're going to kill the two of them?" She asked.

I shook my head. "Commander ordered."

Hindi na siya nagsalita pagkatapos ng sinabi kong yun. When I entered the heads room, I saluted and looked at her

"Bomber... what brought you here?" She asked.

She motioned the woman next to me to leave and she m did, I waited for him to go before I speak.

"I want to know about this three communist." I said firmly.

She motioned me to sit at the visitors chair, and I did.

"Does X told you to kill them?" I shook my head as an answer. "Then, let's settle down how you'll get them. You can handle this on your own?"

I gulped and shook my head again. "That wouldn't be necessary, the three of them influenced a lot of drug syndicates. From Pakistan to other countries and our country is one of that countries. This mission is hard."

He nodded and gave me a folder. "That's my best team in these headquarter. All over the Mindanao, I'll let you borrow them for awhile. Can you do that?"

I read the profiles and nodded. They're not that bad at all, and besides they've been send into different missions in different locations.

"You'll met them tomorrow, rest for now Agent Angel. And about the three of them, one is still unknown and the details are on your email. Check it,"

I stood up and gave her some respect before going out of the room. The woman earlier lead the way to my room. Nang maka-upo sa kama ay agad kong nilabas ang baril ko, I played with it and made a plan inside my mind. Although I need to include my new team for now.

I sighed and massage my temple. One of the communist is still an unknown, and one of my mission is to find out who the fuck is that. Hindi parin sapat para sa'kin ang detalye na ibinigay nila.

Sinabi lang sa folder na isa siya sa tatlo pero ito ang pinaka-ilap sa lahat. Wave and Caion was the one who do the transactions, only that–who fucking ever is–handling all the drugs and guns.

It'll be hard for me. May away pa sa gitna ng militar at mga communist na yun. It was actually a case a month ago, but the government didn't let our agency get a chance to handle the communist. Hindi ko na lang alam kung ano na ngayon ang ginawa ni Commander para ipagawa ang misyon na 'to sa'kin.

Kaya ngayon hindi magalaw galaw ng gobyerno ang mga komunista na 'yon ngayon.

For now, I need to think how to handle the maoist. For some reason, I grinned. I love war, I love bombing and of course I love shoot-out. I feel alive whenever I touched the bombs, especially the rare one and the most dangerous ones.

I pointed the gun at the wall and pulled the trigger bluffly. Napangiwi ako sa ginawa, I want to shoot it for real. Hindi ako nakakapag ensayo kapag nasa isip ko lang ang target.

Instead of doing some stupidity, I opened my loptop and search for Wave Montreal and Caion Altaraza.

My brows furrowed and laughed sarcastically. Wave Montreal have a family? Tatlong anak pa? Does his wife knew about this? Kasi kung oo, ang tanga niya. Ang tanga tanga niya sobra.

I opened the computer and search some detail about him. He has a wife named Zyleenah Azalea, a triple sons and live in Pakistan. They seemed so happy, they looked like a happy family. I smirked.

How can you be able to smile and be happy when you're killing someone? Not just someone, anyone.

I shook my head at the thought. Baka nga pati mga anak niya tinuturuan niyang pumatay, malay ko bang pati pala ang asawa niya isang drug dealer?

But the woman seemed to be familiar, I think I already saw her somewhere. Pero baka nakasagupa ko lang kung saan.

Then a sudden memory flashed in my mind. I saw her at North Carolina a year ago, she's pregnant at that time and she's having a hard time getting the trash bag outside her house. Nilapitan ko siya at saka tinulungan, I was having a black folder mission that time.

"Damn..."

Napatanga ako at saka tumawa ng sarkastiko. She looked like an angel, no... she really is an angel. She even mistook me for someone! She helped me escape from an enemy! And she saved me from dying.

Now I know why she's familiar. Napasandal ako sa swivel chair na kinauupuan ko at saka nagmuni-muni. She's obviously against criminals so why did she marry a communist?

Napailing ako at pinagpatuloy ang paghahanap ng iba pang detalye tungkol sa kaniya. Kahit si Caion ay pinag-aralan ko, wala silang ibang detalye kundi ang tungkol lang sa pamilya nila. Nagtataka tuloy ako kung bakit nila pinatulan ang mga lalaking yun, mukha pa naman silang anghel.

Well, they say don't judge the book by its cover.

I texted Agent Red as I readied myself for tomorrow. I still need to go to Carmen before I do the plans, nandoon kasi ang team na sinasabi ng senior kanina.

I looked at my loptop when I heard a sound. Looks like they've sent an email. I looked at it and read, they gave me the complete and most of their profiles.

"This is shit." I said as I read the email.

Fuck! Bakit hindi nila sinabi na bantay sarado pala ang lugar na yun!? Tapos may mga kasabwat pa sila sa gobyerno? Kaya ba hindi nila magalaw galaw ang mga 'yon? Dahil malakas ang kapit?

I sighed as I take the bathrobe. I took a quick bath and showered. Kung pwede lang sanang magawa na ang misyon ngayon ginawa ko na, but I still need a concrete plan to do so.

I sighed and layed down to my bed. I looked up the ceiling and closed my eyes, for the mean time I want to enjoy my life.

How could I do that?

Napangiti ako ng mapait, my past doesn't matter to me anymore. More looking sophisticated and intimidating right now is one of my best changes, I don't know but I can feel that I used to be a humble one. A stupid simpleton that can easily fooled.

Well atleast my past can't chase me now, ni hindi ko na matandaan pa kung kailan ang huling panaginip ko 'don.

As darkness filled my mind, I wished to myself that I would do better. That I'll complete the mission unscratched and untouched. I still need to bequeath my lineage.

One night, just one night and we're done Wave Montreal and Caion Altaraza.
