Amber Luces Timberlake, age nineteen, born on October 30, 1995.

I bit my lower lip just to suppress a smile. Ito na yata ang pang-nth time na nabasa ko yung profile ni Amber pero hanggang ngayon, kinikilig pa rin ako. Kung makikita siguro ako ng iba ay aakalain nilang nasisiraan ako ng bait. I kept looking at her picture pasted above her files. She's not smiling but damn, she still looked so gorgeous.

I can't help but realized how I was so smitten with her. I never thought I'd be able to feel something like this. It's kind of weird in a good way, knowing that she got me upon first sight without her knowing. I didn't know if she's into girls but if ever na straight nga siya, then I'll just make her love me by hook or by crook. That's a creepy thought, but...I can't help it. I just have to do every possible way to pique her interest.

Sa tingin ko maliit lang ang chance ko, pero wala namang mawawala kung susubukan. She's single, never had any relationship with anyone else although it's obvious that she have many admirers. Imposibleng wala, sa ganda niyang iyon. Nobody can beat my confidence and oozing beauty though. Lahat naman ay pwedeng idaan sa diskarte.

It was indeed a one heck of chance that she's my mission. After my brother showed me his files about her ay kaagad na nagbago ang isip ko. I still can't believe it up until now. Amber and the girl I saw on the ice cream parlor was just the same person. God, I was so lucky.

It's a good thing that I saw the file or else someone else might handle the mission. I almost lost that chance. I think this is fate. This was a work of destiny, right? Ang tadhana na mismo ang naglalapit sa amin. We're meant to be, I know and I'm claiming it.

Misyon ko ang bantayan siya. Ama na niya mismo ang humingi ng assistance ng Blue Royalty. According to Sir Timberlake, sa mga nakaraang buwan ay sunud-sunod ang mga dumadating na death threats sa kanya at sa anak niya. Walang alam dito si Amber dahil naba-block na ng tauhan ng ama ang mga threats bago pa makarating sa anak.

At first, puro letters lang ang meron, some were being sent via social media as well so they had to close their accounts for safety precautions. Maybe it's a good thing that her daughter's not into Facebook, Twitter, and any social media sites so it's been easy and she wouldn't wonder what's happening.

Pero mas lumala ito dahil isa sa mga tauhan ng kliyente namin ang namatay. The murderer even left a note written in blood that said: say goodbye to your princess. Brutal ang pagkamatay ng tauhan nito. Those ruthless murderers skinned its face at marami rin itong nga saksak sa katawan even in the genital area.

Nagtataka rin sila kung bakit hindi 'yon nakunan ng CCTV kaya ang teorya ko ay may nag-hack ng system nila to corrupt the cameras. Magaling yung hacker dahil hindi nila ma-trace yung program na ginamit at kung saan ginawa ang hacking.

My gut was telling me that this was not just a simple mission. There's more behind it. Sir Timberlake is a well-known figure, there're plenty of potential rival, and anyone might be the mastermind. Right now, I'll do first what I was tasked with and that's to guard her daughter.

Wala kaming pasok ngayon ni Amber. We have the same course and schedule so easy lang. Graduate na ako ng college ilang years na rin ang nakalilipas and now I'm already 23. It's easy to study again. I don't even need to forge my information pero ginawa pa rin just to make sure, except that I retained my real name. It's quite risky but I have this idea in my head that I want Amber to know me without much lies.

Six pa lang ng umaga ay nandito na ako sa tapat ng bahay niya. Exclusive Subdivision 'tong lugar nila, secured ang mga tao dahil sa mahigpit ang security. Marami akong connection, which was essential sa mga katulad kong may espesyal na uri ng trabaho, kaya madali lang sa'kin ang makapasok dito.

Anytime from now, lalabas na si Amber for jogging. Tumatakbo siya sa buong village hanggang eight. Ilang minuto lang ay bumukas na rin ang gate ng bahay niya at mula ro'n ay muli kong nasilayan ang goddess na kinahuhumalingan ko.

She's wearing a black loose shirt and black pants plus her black running shoes. She plugged her earphones in her ears bago nagsimulang tumakbo. She didn't see me since I was hiding, I didn't want to surprise her naman kapag bigla niya akong nakita. Even from afar, she never failed to make my heart race. Hindi ko na kailangan mag-jogging sa ganitong lagay ko, healthy na masyado sa puso.

I can't help but took a long breath just by the mere sight of her. She's so pretty that I won't mind watching her all day. I let out an annoying sigh. I sounded like a pervert again. I wondered if this was still healthy. It's not like I was lusting over her, I just...everything about her is great, even her expression, her very shortcut answers, her accent—just I want to know her more.

While watching her run, I thought I felt like someone's watching. Napatingin ako sa isang bahay, bukas ang binata ng second floor no'n. There's someone over there, watching in discreet, but I know where his eyes were—na kay Amber. I can't see his expression very well. Umalis yung lalaki sa bintana. A few minutes after, his gate opened and I saw him. He's wearing a jogging attire. Before he can even run ay hindi nakaligtas sa paningin ko ang bagay na nakasiksik sa gilid ng pants niya.

I glared at him kahit hindi niya kita. I stood up and clenched my fist. I quickly followed him, it's not obvious that he's following the same route Amber was taking. Napakaraming pwedeng takbuhan, malakas ang kutob ko na he's doing things on purpose.

Nagtatago ako sa may katabing puno kapag humihinto ang lalaki. Akala ko naman nakukutuban na niyang may sumusunod sa kanya, sumasagap lang pala siya ng hangin para huminga pagkatapos ay tatakbo ulit. May it be reasonable or not but I have this feeling that this guy was up to no good. He won't have that thing for nothing.

No one will bring a gun just for a jog.

Kinuha ko yung baril ko sa may inner thigh holster ko at ikinasa. The gun I was holding is just a small one which was modified by our team. Maliit lang ito pero hindi naman patatalo sa ibang baril na ibinebenta sa market. May built-in silencer na rin ito.

Lumiko si Amber pakanan. Bago pa makapag-advance ang lalaki ay mabilis ko na itong nilapitan. In a flash, I was able to pull him on a nearby tree and trapped his arms by twisting it. I put pressure enough to restrain him. I saw him winced and I didn't care. He saw the gun I was holding, itinutok ko kaagad iyon sa maselang bahagi ng katawan niya and he stiffened just like that.

"Don't dare to bite my delectable hand or I'll shoot you to death." I whispered in a deadly tone.

Tumangu-tango naman ito, halatang ninenerbiyos. I can't help but grin. Kinuha ko ang bagay na tinatago niya sa may pants niya at tama ako ng nakita. Maagap kong tinakpan ang bibig ng lalaki and quickly shot him. Sa binti lang naman, just in case he try to escape. He groaned, pain registering in his face when he realized what I did.

"Hindi ka naman mamamatay," malumanay sabi ko.

I fetched my phone and dialed my code number. Kusang lumabas ang isang panibagong menu features sa screen ng telepono ko that's specially built for Blue Royalty agents. I called someone I know from the Watcher at sumagot ito after a few rings.

"Agent Green, I need a little help here."
