Redemption

Special Chapter

Special Chapter # 1.

Alexxa Aragon (the dean)

"Ma'am, your snack is coming up!" I heard my secretary from the telephone. I sighed and went back on signing documents. I'm currently facing a minor problem on my other businesses outside of this country, and my lawyer asked me to sign these legal papers.

I opened the door when I heard the bell. Pumasok ang secretary kong hindi ganon kagandahan at dinala ang miryenda ko sa aking lamesa sa harapan. Hindi na siya nagsalita pa ng kung ano at umalis na rin agad. Buti naman dahil ayokong may istorbo sa akin lalo kapag busy ako.

Isa pa itong Devil's battle sa alalahanin ko. It already started and outsiders can now be accommodated. As much as I wanted to forbid this, I know I can't because it was already the school's tradition and those students would get mad. The least of my concern is to face their shity face.

And some of my students' issues are also stressing. I have seen hundreds of crimes here everyday. They are like a wild animal. Mabuti na nga lang hindi masiyadong na a-apektuhan ang ibang mabubuting students sa madugong mundo ng elites and gangsters. Although I feel bad for those getting bullied, but what can I do? It's part o their life here. Hindi ko naman puweding pagbawalan ang bullying pero puwedi ang pumatay? Weird. Kahit pagbawalan ko pa, as if masusunod? Tinataguan nga lang nila ang council president nila e.

I continue signing while eating my snack. Ayoko nang may nasasayang na oras. Gusto kong matapos na itong mga gawain ko mamayang alas-dos ng hapon. Nasan na kaya ang anak ko?

"Ma'am, dr. Presy is outside." the phone beeped.

Ano na naman kaya ang kaylangan nito? Masiyadong carefree rin ang isang ito. Dapat yata paramihin ko pa ang mao-hospital para naman maging busy siya at hindi niya ako abalahin. Hindi na kinakaya ng ganda ko 'yung stress. I remember my face kaya napatingin ako sa salamin na nasa ibabaw ng table ko. Ni-trace ko ang mahaba kong peklat sa mukha.

"Let him in."

Maya-maya lang ay nandiyan na si Presy sa labas nang pinto at kumakatok. I opened the door using my remote key and it automatically opens. Naka suot pa siya ng scrub suit niya na color grey.

"They found a dead body of a gangster in the middle of the forest," Presy reported it like it was some kind of a big news e araw araw naman yatang may namamatay diyan.

There are elites here who are far dangerous than anybody else and seriously, you shouldn't mess with them. They kill instantly.

"Presy, are you new here or what? Have you forgotten how normal that was in this school?"

"His neck was snapped. But that wasn't it. I saw Autumn Gu coming out from there."

"The new girl killed the gangster. So, what?"

"Kilala mo kung sino siya, diba? Hindi siya dapat gumawa ng krimen dito. We need to know what happened."

Yes. I know who is that Autumn Gu, or Autumn Niebes as her real name. Lahat ng students dito, kilala ko ang buong pagkatao. When they undergo screening, that literally mean na hanggang sukdulan ng pagkatao nila inalam ko nang hindi nila nalalaman. Bawat students dito, may file at naglalaman 'yon nang lahat ng detalye tungkol sa totoo nilang pagkatao.

Autumn Niebes is a spy from the government. I had Shaw looked for this and we found out they're looking for someone connected to the Feds' case where she is currently working at. Of course, kilala ko rin kung sino ang hinahanap niya. But that wasn't it. She was supposed to be electrocuted months ago but she was discharged unofficially. She's secretly serving the Feds in exchange of her freedom.

I also know her past details including being a hitman for this small organization called the Company. Now, the one she's looking for is also where she worked before.

Wala akong nagawa sa suhestyon ni Presy kaya sinunod ko ang nais niya. I opened my computer and logged in on my account. I access the hidden cameras and look for cam 89. Sa garden ang footage na ito. I saw Autumn and Ajin Asakura talking. Then, after a few seconds, Ajin left. Autumn talks to someone on the phone pero matapos ang ilang minuto, bigla siyang lumingon sa likod. Hindi kuha mula rito sa angulo ang dahilan bakit siya lumingon pero marami naman akong mata.

Napanood namin ang buong pangyayari. Masyadong naging mabilis ang lahat. I could say what she did was careless but I kind of understand why she had to result to that sudden execution. Walang sino'man ang maaaring makaalam kung sino talaga siya. Her identity will complicate a lot of things and I'm sure ang pinaka iniiwasan niyang mangyari ay bumalik sa Admax.

Napa krus ang mga daliri ko habang ang magkabila kong siko ay naka patong sa lamesa. Anong gagawin niya? I smirked. I'm going to challenge her.

"Presy, call the authorities and let them investigate this."

Napansin ko ang pagtataka sa mukha ni Presy, "You know you can't do that. Labas sila rito. They can't interfere us. At tsaka, marami ang students na mababahala."

"Pay them to pretend they're truly investigating this case. I want to play with her." hindi ko maiwasan ang mapa ngisi.

"Alexxa, why would you play with her? Dapat natin makausap ang chief nila. Hindi dapat ito nangyari. They need to pull her out."

"They will try to pull her out but I won't coordinate. Make an announcement. Hold any outgoing students until furthur notice."

"Really? After Yohan, siya naman paglalaruan mo?"

"Why not tease her? Gusto ko pang makita ang kakayahan nang isang tulad niya. She's a normal fighter, Presy, not related to any dark organizations in the underground. She was an individual hitman. I want to witness her skills. Mananatili siya rito."
