My Enemy in Tandem

Chapter 2

Unknown's POV

"The famous business tycoon, Ricardo Minerva was found dead in his hotel room. 15 bullet strikes was evident in his body. According to the authority, the body was soaked in his own blood inside his bath tub. The incident is under investigation and the suspect is not yet identified. This is Alicia Mendoza for BNN, reporting."

Iyon ang report na narinig ko sa nakabukas na telebisyon dito sa loob ng kwarto ko sa apartment ko.

Nagpapapawis ako ngayon at matatapos ko na ang tatlong daang sit ups sa loob ng dalawang bilang.
Tumayo ako sa pagkakahiga nang may pumasok na device sa loob ng apartment ko galing sa bintana. It looks like a fan blade with an inch thickness and is made of steel.

May lumabas na kulay asul na ilaw doon. It's like a projector. Kumuha ako ng bimpo pamunas ng basa kong katawan nang may lumabas na sound dito, tinig ng babae. Habang nagsasalita ito, may mga litrato itong pinapakita tungkol sa sinasabi nito.

"Good morning Agent Unknown, Ricardo Minerva was found dead in his hotel room. He holds the key in a nuclear missile launch. A gold chip is still in his custody. If the chip will be put into not good hands, the world is in danger. It might activate the nuclear missile and the human race will be extinct. The chip is hidden in a box with a water hemlock engraved on it.
Your Mission:
Get the chip within 24 hours and bring it to the quarters. Keep your cover. Need back up?"

"No." I answered immediately without doubts.

"This device will self destruct in 3, 2, 1."

And so it turned into metal dusts without noticing it's thickness beforehand.

Lorie's POV

Tinalikuran niya ang pulpuradong device na iyon na nagmistulang carrier ng mission.

Dumiretso siya sa maliit na banyo ng kanyang apartment at naligo.

Nagbihis siya suot ang isang itim na pantalon, itim na sando, at high cut boots. Inihanda niya ang kanyang mga kakailanganin sa pagpasok sa hotel.

Kumuha siya sa drawer niya ng gloves at hair pin at inilagay ang mga ito sa bulsa ng pantalon niya.

Sa isang safe ay kinuha niya ang kanyang baril at nagdala ng tatlong reserba na magazine. Kumuha siya ng silencer at dinugtong iyon sa dulo ng baril niya.

Sinuot niya ang kanyang black leather jacket at dumiretso pababa ng apartment nya bitbit ang kanyang helmet.

Doon nakaparada ang kanyang Yamaha R1. Sumakay siya dito at pinaharurot hanggang makaabot sa Hauté Hotel. She parked her bike and walked towards the entrance of the hotel.

She proceeded to the front desk.

"Yes Ma'am, How may I help you?" Tanong ng receptionist sa kanya. Nakasuot ito ng pormal na damit at mapula ang bibig nito na dinaanan ng lipstick. She has a white set of teeth that shows off when she smiles and has a Trainee name plate.

"I just would like to ask if which floor is the room of Mr. Ricardo Minerva?" She asked with a smile on her face too.

"I'm sorry Ma'am but I can't give you the information. The investigation team is still in there until 6 in the evening. So we don't entertain guests for a while."

Unknown's POV

"For how long will they be there?" I asked her with a confused tone.

"I'm sorry Ma'am but I can't tell you." She said and smiled with a twitch on the side of her lips.

"Okay." I said and shrugged. Careless. So they will be here until 6pm. It's already 10 in the morning. There's no second that should be wasted.
