With excitement, I rushed to Kuya Ashmer's office. Marciella told me that my robot brother had a mission for me. Finally, they remembered I was still an agent.
An agent with an unfortunate love life.
I spotted Marciella looking nerdy as ever, carrying books. I playfully grabbed her arm and pulled her along. She looked a bit surprised.
"Kens, ano ba? Trip mo?" reklamo nito.
"Samahan mo ako kay Kuya Ash," puno ng pakiusap kong saad.
"Alam niyo, hindi na ako natutuwa. Kung hindi si Percy ang kakaladkad sa akin ay ikaw naman!" Nanggigil pa nitong pinalo ang aking braso.
"Ouch!" exaggerated kong daing pero sinamaan lang ako nito ng tingin. "Fine, sorry, ha? Love ka lang namin," agad na bawi ko bago pa ako nito masampal.
Linggo nga pala ngayon kaya nasa GC Camp lang din kami. Ilang hakbang pa at nasa harap na kami ng opisina ni Kuya Ashmer.
"Pakipindot ng door bell, please?" pakiusap ko pa.
Napipilitan namang nitong pinindot ang maliit na button. Hindi lang din isang beses kundi hindi ko mabilang pa. Padarag na binuksan ng kapatid ko ang pinto at awtomatikong kay Marci ang tingin.
"What's your problem?" malakas na asik pa nito.
Halos mapatakip ako sa tainga pero balewala lang iyon kay Marci. Tinaasan pa nga ng kilay si Kuya Ash. Ito ang dahilan kung bakit paborito naming ipain ang babaeng ito sa kuya kong robot dahil ito lang ang nakakatagal sa kasungitan ng isa.
"Ako ba? Sigurado ka?" asik din nito. Mukhang kumalma naman si Kuya nang makita ako.
"Come in."
Pumasok na ako at dumiretso ng upo sa upuan nito. Nanatiling nakatayo naman si Marci sa labas.
"Pasok na."
"Ayaw ko," tanggi ng isa ring robot.
Hinayaan ko lang muna silang magbangayan. Wala namang bago sa dalawang ito. Parang aso't-pusa.
Maya-maya pa ay napilitan na lang din namang pumasok si Marciella. Natawa ako dahil hindi na maipinta ang mukha nito habang nakaupo sa isang couch.
Kuya grabbed a folder. It's pink, which means it's my mission. We have a color-coding system here.
"This is your mission. You need to watch over him because he's the new heir of a prominent persona. The subject's grandfather is worried, so he hired our clan to protect his son."
I raised an eyebrow in response. "So, I'll be a security guard?"
"Something like that."
"Okay."
"This will be an undercover mission, Kenya."
"How long?"
"It depends on when our client decides to end our service for his grandson."
"Zsss! Is his grandson that reckless to need long-term protection?" I retorted.
"He's vulnerable because of his position."
"Ah, okay," I replied casually. He handed me the folder.
"Should I open it now?" I asked curiously.
"It's up to you."
"Alright, maybe later at my flat. Wait, where's Percy?"
"She's at a photo shoot."
"Oh, that's why I didn't see her. How are you, Kuya?"
