STING HEADQUARTERS
Sakay ang isang black armored car kasama ang isang convoy, nakarating si Director Karl Schmidt sa Sting Headquarters. Pagkahinto nito sa gate ay sinalubong na sya ng sangkaterbang media personels. Unang bumaba ng sasakyan ang mga security kasama na si Class S Agent Talia Aramis. Huling lumabas si Director Schmidt na nilapitan kaagad ng press.
“Director, any comments on the attacks at the UN House?”
“What can you say about the rumors that one of your former agents is behind this terrorist attack?”
“Is there a connection between the recent hackings and system shutdowns on the UN incident?”
Sunod sunod ang mga katanungan kay Director Schmidt pero hinde nya ito pina unlakan. Dumiretso lang sya sa main building. Pagkapasok nya ay sinalubong sya kaagad ng chief ng Cyber Division at kasama na si Alex Ford.
“What have you discovered mr Ford?” tanong kaagad ni Director Schmidt.
“Yes sir, I have checked the records and surveillance and I have seen something interesting.” Bulong pa ni Alex.
“Really…let’s talk in my office.” Pumasok sa elevator si Director Schmidt at sumunod naman si Alex. Pumasok rin ang Chief ng Cyber Division pero pinigilan sya ni Agent Aramis.
“That will be all.” Wika ni Director Schmidt sa Chief at tumango lang ito saka titig kay Alex.
“So have you discovered who was behind the disappearance of Gabriel’s disk?”
“Not yet sir but what I did found is kinda troubling. You see….”
“Sshhiikkk!!” bumukas ang elevator at lumabas sina Director Schmidt. Sumunod naman si Alex.
“There were missing footages on the surveillance files, particulary on your office area and near the prison building.” Bulong pa ni Alex.
“Good evening Director.” Bati naman ni Precious. Dumiretso lang si Director Schmidt sa kanyang opisina at naghintay naman sa labas ng silid si Agent Aramis. Nagkatitigan sandali si Talia at Precious. Ngumit ng bahagya si Precious pero yumuko ito at umupo sa desk nya.
“Would you care to explain to me how did those footages gone missing?” tanong ni Schmidt kay Alex.
“I don’t know exactly but how it happened is not out of the ordinary. You see, our system networks have a particular defense program, whatever that may try to tap in inside will trigger this defensive program and alert us but I have search the history but no such hacking happened.”
“Well perhaps it dissappeared when this Silent Eight used the Phantom Drive.”
“Well they could do that I see no reason to. And taking specific footages would have took time to search considering the dates of the footages are irregular and when I checked iwhat hhad happened during that date, it was during Gabriel Marasigan’s break in and the footages on your office that dissappeared happened a few days ago. Whoever erased them clearly knows about what happened and what to take. It’s as if, someone is trying to hide something.”
“Any ideas on who it might be?”
“The only ones who can access the surveillance footages were the Chief of the and his vice chief Cyber Division and the director of Sting.” Paliwanag pa muli ni Alex.
“It’s already clear that during those times Director Frost was the one sitting here. I guess we have two suspects here since Frost is not around. Did you find aany links between the Chief or the Vice Chief of Cyber Division to any members of the Silent Eight?”
“None sir, I made some snooping around on their records. They’re clean.” Sagot ni Alex.
“So that means….” “TOK TOK TOK!” “Excuse me Director I have an urgent message!” wika ni Talia sa labas ng opisina.
“Come in..”
“Thank you sir. I have been informed that Agent Mindy Bond and Himeko Ashura are ready for transport here.”
“Good, maybe they have some answers. Agent Aramis, I want you to go there and make sure they return here safe is that understood?”
“Yes sir!” lumabas si Talia at sinara ang pinto.
“Well Mr Ford, we cannot afford to lose you here so I do hope that you will be careful.”
“Thank you sir. Also, about that secret mission that you have given me sir, Former Agent Yumiko Ashura just messaged me that she has already rescued Gabriel Marasigan.”
“Jesus Christ, you tell me that now? Why didn’t you told me that first than your personal report boy. “
“Um…sorry..sir…it slipped my mind.”
“Well that is a very great news indeed! Now all we need is to secure a communication for Gabriel and give him the support an Agent Class S needed. Of course we also need to clear up his name before any more permanent damages to his reputation is done. Mr Ford if you can manage to contact him, do not forget to inform me okay.”
“Yes sir.”
“Okay good, you are dismissed.” Napabuntong hininga si Director Schmidt. Naka ngiting lumabas ng silid si Alex. Pagkalabas nya ay sinundan sya ng tingin ni Precious. Maingay itong nilabas ang cellphone.
“I must inform the mistress about this….” Bulong pa ni Precious at palihim na kinontak si Frost.

“He what!?” galit na nagulat si Kaiser Cross. Nakatayo ito sa captain’s deck ng battleship nya habang naglalayag sa Baltic Sea ar pabalik na ito sa sekretong kuta nila. Sa harap nya ang isang monitor at naroon ang imahe ni Frost.
“Gabriel has escaped. Yumiko Ashura infiltrated the camp and she managed to rescue him from our grasp. I have to admit I underestimated her completely when she faced me. But I assure you they couldn’t have gone too far. I have already informed our men on the cities to keep an eye for them. Once they resurface we will take them.” Paliwanag pa ni Frost.
“Then our hidden base has been compromised. Evacuate that area immediately and leave no trace behind. If I know him, he will do anything he can get back at us for this. He knows too much. Goddamn it I should have ripped his arms and legs so he would have been useless even if he were to escape!”
“The evacuation was done. We are already in our second hidden base. What are you planning to do next?” tanong naman ni Frost.
“I will deal with Marasigan.” Sabat naman ng The Mad. Napatingin si Kaiser sa kanya. Nilalaro laro pa ng The Mad ang kanyang maliit na dagger.
“Hmph..I’m sure you can handle him completely.” Wika naman ni Kaiser.
“Handle him? Ooh my boy, I will make him suffer for this Hahahahaha!!!”
“Then what about Cifer Black?” tanong pang muli ni Frost.
“I have arranged Gallian Peters for that. He has a vast amount of resource and connections to be able to find that crazy man. Cifer is not a major concern for us now. LORD SAMAEL will deal with him once our plans has been made into fruition. Continue your search for Gabriel there Frost, I’m sure they will show up eventually.” Utos ni Kaiser. Tumango lang si Frost at nag off na ang monitor.
“Then I must prepare too.” Wika naman ng The Mad.
“And what is your plan exactly?”
“Oh you know me hehehe…I tend to make my moves enjoyable. I don’t have to find Gabriel Marasigan. I will make him find me instead hekhekhekhek….”
“I don’t wanna know what you’re up to. But, goodluck nonetheless.”
“Luck is nothing when you are facing The Truth my boy hahahaha!” tumalikod na ito at bumaba ng captain’s deck. Dumiretso ito sa bandang likod ng barko at pina prepare ang isang helicopter.

“Mommy mommy! Nakita mo na ba ang news!?” hingal na tumakbo mula sa kwarto nya si Mica. Nasa hapag kainan naman si Cathy at kumakain ng agahan.
“Oo nga anak. Oh my God, nabasa ko rito sa dyaryo oh! Si Gabriel wanted na sa buong mundo! Diyos ko totoo ba ito. Ayokong maniwala na kayang gawin ng pamangkin ko ito.”
“Opo mommy sure ako ang may pakana nyan yung mga masasamang tao na nanloob sa bahay nina kuya Aidan. Narinig ko kasi sabi ni ate Karen na may kinakalaban raw na secret organization si kuya Gabriel. Sana naman ligtas sya. Ilang linggo narin simula noong umalis sya.”
“Ipanalangin nalang nating walang mangyaring masama sa kanya. Diyos ko naman ano ba itong napasok ng pamangkin ko.”
“Mommy bibisita po pala ako kina tita Serina. Baka po mag oovernight ako doon.”
“Hmmm…” napa ngiti si Cathy.
“um bakit po?”
“Gusto mo lang yatang makasama si Aidan eh hihi.”
“Si mommy talaga! Hinde ah!” tila namula si Mica sa pambibisto ni Cathy.
“Ay naku anak….alam ko na yang tumatakbo sa utak mo. Anak nga kita. Well masisikmura mo bang iiwan akong mag isa rito? Mommy will be very very lonely.”
“Um andyan naman po si mang Dencio eh ahehehe…”
“Hoy tumigil ka nga. Iiwan mo ako kasama ang amoy lupang yun?”
“Eh mommy ilang beses naman na kayo nagsex ni mang Dencio eh di pa kayo nasanay? Hihihi.”
“No..I won’t have it. Sasama ako sayo kala mo hahahaha!”
“Iiihhhh….mommy naman ehhh…”
“Sige mag prepare kana at bibisita tayo later. I’ll drive hihihi.”
“Hays dapat pala di nako nag paalam.”
“Naku naku timigil ka nga dyan.” Sabay kurot sa tagiliran ni Mica.
“Ooww mommy naman ehh! Ang sakit kaya…”
“Asus! Sige na prepare kana dyan. Breakfast pa ako rito.”

Nagsimula na ang mission ni Agent Aramis para kunin sina Mindy Bond at Himeko Ashura. Parehong nakabawi na ng lakas ang dalawa subalit kapansin pansin ang bendang nakatali sa kaliwang putol na braso ni Himeko. Pinasakay ang dalawa sa magkahiwalay na armored vehicle. May apat na security vehicles ang kasunod, dalawa sa harap at dalawa sa likod. Nakasakay naman sa pinakaharap si Agent Aramis.
Binaybay ng convoy ang daan papuntang airport nang makasakay ng service plane nila. Ilang minuto mula sa byahe ay napansin ni Aramis na tila tahimik ang highway. Isang kakaibang bagay dahil madalas busy ang highway na ito. Lumiko sila sa isang kanto at nakita ang isang nasusunog na truck at naka harang ito sa daan. Huminto ang convoy. Sa harapan ng nasusunog na truck ay nakatayo si Olivia Stone.
“Shit…that bitch is back. Let’s get out of here before it gets….” Wika ni Aramis nang biglang sumigaw ang isang kasamahan nya sa radyo.
“RPG!!!!”
“SHOOOMMMM!!!” Dalawang rocket propelled grenades ang biglang umatake papunta sa convoy.
“GET OOOUUUTTT!!!” Sigaw ni Aramis at nagsilabasan sila sa sasakyan.
“BAKKOOOOMMMM!!!! BAAAKKOOOMMM!!!” Tumilapon ng ilang metro sa ere ang dalawang sasakyan sa harap ng convoy. Kasunod nito ang volume fire ng mga high caliber weapons ng mga kalaban sa paligid na mga gusali. Napilitang gumapang papunta sa ilalim ng mga armoree vehicles ang mga agents na nasa labas.
“Ma’am it’s an ambush!!” wika ng isang tauhan ni Aramis.
“No shit!” kinasa ni Aramis ang pistol nya at mabilis na gumulong palabas sa ilalim ng armored vehicle. Dire diretso itong nakatago sa gilid ng kalsada na may mga concrete islands na may mga halaman. Sumunod rin ang ibang tauhan nya at nagsikalat.
Binaril ni Agent Aramis si Olivia pero nawala ito na parang bula. Dalawang granada ang hinagis sa puwesto ng mga agents. Lumabas ang poison cloud na ginamit sa UN Session Hall. Napa ubo ang mga agents at dahan dahang dumugo ang mga ilong mata at tenga. Nangisay ang mga ito at namatay. Mapula ang mga balat na akala mo’y kamatis.
“Shit..this can’t be happening…” bulong ni Aramis. Kinuha ang radio nya at inutusan ang mga kasama pa nyang tumakas na at iwan sya. Umayaw ang mga tauhan nya at lumabas ang mga ito sa mga sasakyan.
Sinalubong sila ng mga bala ng kalaban. Karamihan ay natamaan. Mabilis binuksan ni Aramis ang isang armored vehicle at nakita nya si Agent Mindy.
“Agent Bond I’ll transfer you to the other truck. Let’s go!”
“Okay!” sumunod naman si Mindy. Lumabas ito ng truck kasama ang dalawa pang agents ng Sting. Lumipat sila sa kabilang truck.
Subalit biglang sinipa si Mindy ni Olivia na nakalapit na. Mapulang mapula ang mga mata nito at buhok, at kulay berde naman ang balat nyang kitang kita sa suot nitong fit na suit. Kulay silver green at brown ang suit ni Olivia. May mahabang zipper mula sa kanyang puson papunta sa leeg. Bukas ito sa dibdib at kita ang cleavage nya.
Dahan dahang napa tayo si Mindy. Kasunod na inatake ni Olivia si Aramis. Gamit ang dalawang poisoned daggers, inatake nito si Aramis pero nakaka ilag naman ang agent. Nasalag nito ang isang braso ni Olivia at sinapak ito sa mukha.
“AHHH!!” Napahiyaw si Aramis sa hapdi. Animo’y nasunog ang kamay nya nang dumikit sa balat ni Olivia.
“Hah! My whole body is covered with poison you bitch. You cannot touch me or you will be burned. Hahahaha!!”
“Yeah? Then fuck you bitch!” “SPAKK!!” Isang roundhouse kick ang tumama sa tyan ni Olivia. Bumangga ang likod nya sa armored truck. Umatake pa si Aramis at isang sommersault ang pinamalas nya. Tinamaan ito sa panga at napa angat si Olivia.
Pero naka recover rin ito at mabilis na hinablot ang leeg ni Aramis.
“AAAAAGGGGHHH!!!!!”
“HAHAHAHAHA!!! I got you now you fuckin’ whore! You will die slowly and painfully by my hands! Hahaha!!!” sakal na sakal nito si Aramis. Hinde makapalag ang agent dahil sa poison na dunadaloy ngayon sa kanyang katawan.
“Kyaahh!!” sinipa ni Mindy sa likod si Olivia pero nakapag handa na ito sa kanya at yumuko ito. Tinamaan ng sipa ang mukha ni Aramis at bumagsak ito sa kalsadang naka dapa.
“Ohhh you…hahahaha!! You’re mine!!” inatake ni Olivia si Mindy. Ilang beses naka iwas ang maliit na katawan ni Mindy. Pero dahil hinde pa ito fully recovered sa sugat na natamo nya ay mabagal pa ito. Mabilis na nadakip ni Olivia si Mindy. Nahawakan ito ang kamay ng agent.
“GGNNNHHH!!! LET…ME..GOOOO!!”
“You’re the one that killed Silverfox aren’t you!?”
“Ggnnhhh fuck yes and I fuckin enjoyed how she blew up into tiny pieces!”
“Really…then I will make you suffer even more than your friend here….hahahahaha!!!” hinugot nito ang isang vial na may special poison. Binasag nya ito sa mukha ni Mindy subalit isang dagger ang mabilis na tumama sa kanyang braso at nabitawan ang poison.
“Who dares!?” napatingin si Olivia sa gilid nya at naroon nakatayo ang isang lalakeng naka suot ng fitted na toxido, brush up ang buhok nito at nakangiti. Nanlaki rin ang mga mata ni Mindy at Aramis.
“You….what are you doing here….Cifer Black!?” tanong ni Olivia na animo’y nakalunok ng malaking pagkain.
“I’m here to take what’s mine Miss Stone. Heh!” ngiti pang muli ni Cifer.
“You’re not supposed to be here! Kaiser’s orders are to take you in! Well then I guess I will have to drag you along with me later after I killed these two hehehehe!” sumenyas si Olivia sa mga tauhan nyang nasa itaas ng mga gusali pero tila walang nag rereact. Nagtaka si Olivia at chineck ang ear piece nya at tinanong kung naroon pa ang mga tauhan nya.
“You’re wasting your time Miss Stone.” Pinakita ni Cifer ang isang maliit na remote sa kamay nya.
“What’s that?” tanong naman ni Olivia Stone. Nabitiwan nya si Mindy at bumagsak itong nanghihina.
“A remote for the two drones I used in silencing your men. Heh!”
“What!? You…what have you done!?”
“Like I said, I’m only here to take what’s mine. I don’t care about your agendas and your missions here. I killed your men as to not interfere with my goal here.”
“Oohhh I will enjoy hurting you Cifer Black you crazy moron! Kaiser never said to bring you whole, I will rip your legs apart and serve you in a platter! Those were my men you sick fuck! Graaaahhhh!!!!” inatake ni Olivia si Cifer. Nanatiling nakatayo at nakangiti lang si Cifer.
Sunod sunod na pag atake ang ginawa ni Olivia pero hinde nya matamaan si Cifer. Naka ngiti lang ito at simpleng umiiwas iwas. Ilang hakbang pa at pinabilis pa ni Olivia ang atake pero ni daplis hinde nya magawang mahuli si Cifer.
“Why!? Why can’t I catch you!? Dammit!”
“Hahaha! You’re too angry that’s why you cannot feel what’s happening to your body. Focus on it and you will understand hahahaha!”
“What the…..wait…” nakaramdam ng pagkahilo si Olivia Stone. Medyo malabo ang paningin nya at medyo inaantok sya. Tinignan nya ang punyal na tumama sa braso nya at nakasugat sa kanya.
“What did you do!? What’s in that dagger you hit me with!?”
“Surely you of all people would understand its effects Olivia. Don’t let me down now.”
“Its….uugghh…its some kind of…anesthetic! But how!? Even such chemicals cannot affect me!”
“It’s a very potent anesthetic I have acquired before I faced you. I know how dangerous your body is Venom Queen hah! But you’re no match to my intellect! You’re just a pawn in this game. And I don’t waste my time playing with nobodys.” Hinugot nito ang isang handgun sa likod nya.
“Wait!!!”
“BLAM BLAM BLAM!!!” Umangat ang ulo ni Olivia. Tatlong bala ang nagwasak ng ulo nya. Bagsak ito at wala nang buhay.
Naglakad si Cifer palapit sa armored van.
“What do you think you’re doing Cifer!?” tanong ni Mindy. Subalit hinde ito pinansin ni Cifer. Binuksan nya lang ang armored vehicle. Tumambad sa kanya si Himeko.
“Master….”
“It’s time Himeko.”
“I always knew…I can feel it…I knew you’re still alive.”
“Of course I am. Who do you think you’re talking to?” naka ngiti pa si Cifer. Inalalayan nito si Himeko palabas ng sasakyan. Napansin ni Cifer ang kaliwang putol na braso ni Himeko.
“Who did this?” tanong nito. Tinignan ni Himeko ang kanyang braso.
“It doesn’t matter. She will die by my hand and I only need one to rip her heart out.”
“Oh so it’s a she huh. Let’s see….the Ice Queen did this to you then. I never imagined she can do such a feat!”
“I got careless. I apologize my master. I haven’t been in combat for a while but my eyes were open now.”
“Well I never got you as a personal partner just because of your swordskills. You’re the best there is Himeko. Remind that cold eyed bitch on who she’s messing with.”
“Yes Master. I won’t let you down.” Matalim ang tingin ni Himeko pero halatang kagat nito ang labi nya.
“How..how did you managed to live Cifer Black? I thought you were killed!” tanong naman ni Aramis na nanghihina pa.
Nakatalikod lang sa kanya si Cifer at Himeko. May pinindot itong device tsaka humarap kay Aramis. Nakangiti itong muli.
“VVWWWWIIIIEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!” Kasabay ang isang malakas at matinis na ingay mula sa ibabaw ng mga gusali. Biglang lumabas ang isang malaking aircraft na naka invisible at nang lumitaw ito ay may mga nagmukhang glass panels ang isa isang naglaho at lumutang na ang kabuohan ng malaking sasakyang panghimpapawid. Isang hovercraft carrier na kayang mag stealth mode at kasing laki ng mga barkong pangdigma.
“My name is not Cifer Black! Call me Sir Archimond Schiffer!” kasunod nito ang pagbaba ng ilang mga sundalong may uniporme ng DRAKE Army. Subalit imbes na atakihin sina Mindy, ay dinala lang ng mga ito si Archimond at si Himeko. Iniwan nila si Mindy at Talia Aramis na parehong nanghina dahil sa pag atake.
