The Devil's Angel (ON HOLD)

Chapter 6

Nathan's

I was scanning some papers when suddenly my phone vibrated. An indication that someone is calling me. I looked at my phone and I saw Zach's name.

"Yes?" I said.

[Mr. Wren, may problema.] I can sense the panic in his voice.

"Hide out. I'm coming." I uttered and ended the call.

I stood up right after the call ended. I grab my coat and keys.

I saw Angel and I told her that she can go home.

Nang makasakay sa sasakyan ay agad ko itong pinasibad paalis. Gladly, there's no traffic kaya nakarating ako agad.

Before I go out, I opened the dashboard and get my gun on it. It's a Colt CZ-40. I put it in a secret pocket in my suit.

Nang makapasok sa hideout ay nagkalat ang mga tauhan ko. They greeted me and I nod at them as a response.

Tumuloy ako sa isang kwarto. This is a private room, where all of our meetings are being held. It's soundproof as well. Here in this private room there's another door, a secret passage going to the interrogation room.

The interrogation room has a table and a chair. Ang upuan na daang daang tao na ang napagdaanan, at namatay doon.

I immediately sit as I finally arrived.

"What happened?" I asked without further ado.

"Sir, about the transaction that happened days ago," Diego said.

"What about it?" My brows furrowed, "Our transaction with Mr. Lao is already done and successful. What about it?"

"Ayon na nga Sir," Leon interrupted, "Sinasabi nila na trinaydor natin sila. They received a wrong item. And I guess, someone sabotaged us," he concluded.

Nahulog ako sa malalim na pag iisip. What the fuck happened?! Una, may nag tip sa mga pulis na may magaganap na transaksiyon sa parking lot na 'yon at muntik nang mabulilyaso. That transaction, shit. Posible nga na may sumabotahe sa amin.

"Zach," I called him as soon as I gathered myself, "Look deeper in this situation," I ordered him.

"Noted, Sir."

"Leon, look for the possible person that may betray us. Sa organisasyong ito lang."

"Copy that, Sir!" he salutes at me.

"Diego, look for Mr. Lao's people. Posibleng isa rin sa mga ipinadala niyang tao ang maaaring sumabotahe sa atin."

"Areglado," at tumango tango pa.

I nod, "We should start investigating. Bago pa man magkaroon ng gulo sa pagitan natin at sa grupo ni Mr. Lao." I stated.

I'm already in my room and reading some papers. When I received a call from Mr. Lao on my burner phone. I answered it immediately.

[Mr. Wren,] He greeted me.

"Mr. Lao,"

[I guess, you already know what happened?] wika niya at humalakhak pa.

[That's so wrong, Mr. Wren. Well, kung hindi mo aayusin 'to agad. Then you leave me no choice but to start a war between the two of us,] and with that, the call ended.

I gritted my teeth and throw my phone in my bed. I was breathing heavily when I thought about, Zach, Leon, and Diego. I called them in a conference call and asked for an update on their work.

[Boss, nakalap ko na ang impormasyon no'ng mga tao na ipinadala ni Mr. Lao,] I heard Diego, said.

"Good, bring it tomorrow in our hideout. Zach?"

[Wala pa akong nahahanap na butas, Boss. Masyadong malinis trumabaho,] I sighed in annoyance.

"You're better than this, Zach. Do your work properly!" I yelled at him. You can't blame me, I was so stressed out because of that call. I can't start a war between Mr. Lao. Meron pa akong hindi natatapos at hindi pwedeng may dumagdag na maging kaaway ko.

"Leon, update?" I turned to Leon.

[Sir, wala naman akong nakita na posibleng trumaydor sa atin, sa mismong nasa grupo natin. Kaya naisip ko na, hindi sa atin nanggagaling ang ahas, malakas ang kutob ko na nasa grupo ni Mr. Lao iyon.] Leon concluded.

"Ayan din ang naiisip ko, kaya kailangan nating alamin kung sino. Now the two of you, tulungan niyo si Zach sa pinapatrabaho ko sa kanya." And with that I ended the call.

I massaged my temples. What a tiring day.

The next day, I woke up and do my morning routines and drove my way to the office. Nothing special happens.

Except that, Angel makes me smile for today. I rarely smile, and I don't know how did Angel managed to make me smile with anything she do.

I was enjoying my coffee that Angel gave me, when the three idiots barged into my office. The smile on my face immediately washed away.

"Boss, sarap ng ngiti ah?" ani Leon.

"Naks, inspired," paggatong naman ni Diego.

"Matik na mga pre," pakikisali naman ni Zach.

Nakasuot silang tatlo ng suit but they still act stupid.

"What brings you here?" I finished my coffee and looked at them.

"Wala lang naman," wika ni Leon at umupo sa couch sumunod naman sa kanya ang dalawa.

"Patambay lang kami," dagdag ni Diego.

"Wala ba kayong mga trabaho?" I furrowed my brows in astonishment.

"Meron, pero tinamad kami eh." katuwiran ni Zach.

I didn't mind them and just continue doing my work.

Hindi ko namalayan na nakapasok na pala si Angel sa opisina ko at inaalok na ang mga baliw ng kung ano.

"Juice lang akin, Miss Angel," wika ni Leon na may kasama pang kindat.

What the fuck? These idiots are really getting into my nerves.

"Gano'n nalang din sa'min Miss Angel," ani Zach.

Matapos 'yon ay agad na lumabas si Angel, at agad namang lumingon sa akin ang tatlo na may mapaglarong ngiti sa mga labi.

"What the hell?! You all really looked stupid. Stop looking at me like that," I hissed and they just laughed at me. For Pete's sake, they're just distracting me from my work!!!

"Ganda ng chikababes mo, Mr. Wren!" pang-aasar ni Leon with matching thumbs up pa.

I closed my eyes trying to calm myself. So, I just raised my middle finger at him as an answer. They fired me back with their laughter.
