The Agent
I'm busy reading the book The Late night revenge when I suddenly felt a couple of presence coming from downstairs. I can tell that one presence is calm while the other has a raging presence around him. Even without looking, I can tell who is who.
"Will you please calm down? Let's listen to her explanation first." The one said.
"Enough, Luigi. I'm done with her explanation. She will do it again and again. What a stubborn lady." The other one said.
I rolled my eyes upon hearing the conversation between the two. And I was not mistaken because the door suddenly opened and two men entered.
I closed the book I was reading and placed it on the table in front of me, ready to talk to the two.
"What can I do, gentleman?" I asked while giving them my famous grin.
"You.. you ugly-wicked woman!"
My father said while pointing at me. I almost threw up even though I wasn't drinking because of what he said.
What? Who's Ugly?
ME!?
Am I really ugly now?
The f**k!?
"Who's ugly!?" I asked with a grumbled face.
"Of course, who else but you"
"No, I'm not!" I defended myself and crossed my arms.
"Yes, you are. If not, please explain what you just did again from the other day." My brother Luigi said.
"We were just lost for a moment, yet you immediately took the opportunity."
"This is already your nth time doing it. Nahiya ka pa sana sinampu mo na." Daddy said angrily.
"Really?" I asked with my eyes sparkled.
My brother immediately came over and was about to kick me when I quickly got away. I stuck my tongue out and smirked. He glared at me.
"And you really want to do it again?" He asked shaking his head.
Inirapan ko lang siya at tumingin kay daddy.
"Will I have a reward?" I said with a smile.
"Reward? Do you think I'll grant you? You just blew up the plantation of the Herero!" He shouted at me loudly.
I frowned.
"Aren't they your next target? I just made the job easier. One thank you is enough."
"But you ruined our plan. Who are we sending to jail if everyone who should be jailed is already dead?" he asked stressed.
I remain poker face.
"It's not my problem anymore," I said then whistle.
Napahawak naman ako sa noo ng biglang pitikin ako ni kuya.
"Ah! Luigi!"
"At ngayon kami pa ang mamo-moblema?" His eyebrows met.
"Enough with your childish act my sister, can't you rest?" He said.
"Ahm.. kapag sinabi nyo na saakin kung saan ang hide-out ni Galileo."
"HERA!"
They both exclaimed in chorus.
I pout my lips.
Okay, fine I'll stop now. Quite na ako. Kahit kailan talaga hindi kayang makisakay ng dalawang 'to sa kahit anong joke. Masyadong seryoso sa ganitong usapan!
Tsk, what an annoying family I have. But because they are handsome, I still love them.
I saw them both sigh. I just leaned back in the chair and took a sip. What will happen to me? I know they both have plans for me since I did this for the nth time because for some reason–I'm bored.
And it's not because they saw me as weak due to my sickness, I will listen to them for the rest of my life. I don't want to be dependent. I don't want to be weak. Why would I? I was called the most powerful agent on earth and this disease is not a hindrance to me.
I disagree people!
I looked at them. They both look at each other than look at me, then sigh again. Napa-irap ako, ganito nalang palagi.
Since they found out I was sick, the problem doubled. I can no longer get tired and do things that will harm my body. But damn, I can't be restless when I'm doing nothing while they're still looking for criminals.
I also want that!
Chasing and killing without mercy. But then again, karma has its own way. I have diagnosed with stage III cancer. I don't care about my health as long as I can kill criminals and scheming people.
"When will you stop, hera." My brother said.
"Until I lost in counting," I answered.
"You can't stop me. I'm not crippled and I'm still energetic. So, stop treating me like a patient." I said glaring.
Big Brother was about to answer when the door suddenly opened. We both turned to the person who entered and we saw Mae there panting.
"What is it, Mae?" My father asked
"Sir, there is an emergency in the field department," Mae said then glanced at me. He simply bowed to pay respect to me before returning his gaze to Dad.
"Okay, I'll follow," Dad replied.
"You guys go..it looks important," I said seriously.
They stopped and looked at each other again. What? I want this conversation to end. It's just over and over again. It's better to leave because I don't seem to be needed here anymore.
I took a deep breath and stood up. This conversation is going nowhere. They won't let me do what I want either. I'm also hungry, I want to eat.
"I'm leaving, bye."
I'm halfway through the door when they called me, "Hera."
I stopped said, "what?"
Are they going to tell me where Galileo's hideout is? If they really say it, I won't mess with other agents' missions. Galileo himself is the one I will mess with. Well, Galileo is my second brother. He is obviously hiding from whoever that person is. And because I miss him, I want to pester him. Galileo is a scientist that's why he has his own hide-out.
He also loves being alone and he really loved his experiment more than her sister. Tch...
"About Leo," Luigi started,
I raised my eyebrows. They are still hesitating, I know they're going to tell me, but they also think it's a big mess if I find out. Maybe it's not just an ordinary mess I'm going to make at my brother's hideout. There might even be a World War IV.
"What? Tell me now."
"Fine, we don't have any choice anyway." my brother said,
"He's in Carnation Island." My father said sighing.
I quickly turned around and smiled widely. An island? The heck! Ang layo ng pinagtaguan niya! But then, I'm happy! They really can't stand me.
"Really! Omo... thank you dad! I'm going to pack byee!"
I said smiling as I ran out. I didn't wait for them and went straight to the parking lot. When I got there, I wondered why the car door was open. But I shrugged it out, it looks like I forgot to close it again.
While driving, I started calling my brother Leo. His cell phone just keeps ringing, it seems to have no intention of answering.
Nakakainis talaga!
Oh well, let's surprise him.
I grinned at the ideas that came up in my head, it looked like my island vacation with my brother Galileo will be fun.
I'm in the middle of driving when suddenly a loud sound was heard. It was too late before I realized what had happened. Suddenly, the car I was riding in exploded. My mind stops moving, same with my body.
And I can't move... it's so hot!
I can't breathe!
I can't see!
What is this!?
Am I dead?
I was not even informed... tch.
Father. Brothers...
I'm sorry... I can't make it.
I smiled bitterly until I was lost in the darkness.
