Eve and the Artemis (UNEDITED)

05

"Cikgu Orked, boyfriend ke tu?" A fellow teacher nudged Orked who was gathering her stuff up.

"Huh?"

"Tuu yang pakai mask dengan topi tu." The teacher pouted. "Tadi akak tanya, nak amik siapa. Ingatkan bapak budak. Takpun abang. Lepas tu dia jawab nak amik Cikgu Orked."

Orked flashed a grin, while saying "Amik Cikgu Orked kepala otak dia." through her gritted teeth.

"Apa dia cikgu?" The other teacher didn't catch on.

"Oh tak, tu kawan saya. Saya balik dulu ya." Orked excused herself politely. She waved off several kids who were still not picked up and went out of the gate.

"Yo." M lifted up his cap. "Still can't get used to this baju kurung Cikgu Orked with colourful hair clips. Keluarkan rokok kau sekarang!"

"Perlahan sikit gila!" Orked flicked M's forehead hard. "The kids might hear you!"

M just crouched down, trying to suppress all the pain and need to scream. Despite being the most-hunted down killer, he is actually pretty frail as to why he kills by guns and not hands. Orked on the other hand is a brutal woman who never hesitates to hit on men (like literal hit on, totally not flirting).

"Kau kenapa datang sini? Cikgu Wani kata kau nak amik aku. With what bro? Your rollerblade?"

"Aku actually datang sini naik skateboard." He glanced at his guitar case where he either keeps his gun or skateboard if not the guitar. "Anyway, can you look this guy up?"

Orked took the paper M was holding out. "Hasyim Basree. Yang ada anak nama Ayana, 9 tahun." She read what was written. "New target?"

"Not really. It's the girl's father. Yang dia nak sangat aku tembak tu."

"Oh wait. The girl! Kau tinggal dia sorang-sorang kat rumah ke?"

"Yeah??" M looked at the surroundings before he continued. "I have to kill her anyway." His voice became slower.

"Will you though?"

M went silent for a moment.

"I have to. No choice." He finally said. Orked was totally not buying it. M might be an assassin. But she knows he can only be cold blooded towards bad guys. Killing an innocent child is far from what M is.
