Adira's POV...
"Adira is not your real name, am I right?"
Nanlaki ang mata ko sa sinabi nito. Nagsimula akong kabahan dahil sa narinig. Kilala niya ba ako?
"H-huh? Nagpapatawa ka ba?"
"Stupid. I'm just kidding." -Thaddeus.
Kumawala ang hiningang kanina ko pa pinipigilan. Tila nabunutan ako ng malaking tinik dahil sa tinuran niya. Masyado pang maaga para malaman nila kung sino ako, nagsisimula palang ako sa misyon ko at hindi ko pwedeng biguin ang nag-utos sakin.
*Ting
Tumunog ang cellphone na hawak ko, I received a text from my Boss and I can't even try to open it because of Thaddeus.
"Be careful with my friends. You're their next target." he warned before walking away.
Nang makalayo siya ay agad kong binasa ang text ng Boss namin.
Black Eagle: Meet us at the head quarters.
Maya-maya pa ay isang itim na kotse ang huminto sa harap ko. The rear view mirror has the symbol of our organization, which is the gold star and a silver eagle in the middle of it. Nang makapasok at maka-upo ako sa passenger seat ay nagsalita ang Driver. Ang Butler ng pamilyang pinagsisilbihan ko.
"In-ambush ang van na pinadala ni Black Eagle sa North Villa." mahinahong balita nito.
"What? Who died?"
"Five Black Agents. Policarpio, Ordinado, Galanto, Reinante and Lopez." -Butler Dee.
"And the North Villa?"
"The North Villa is safe. The Agents were ambushed before arriving from the villa, so the enemies did not know where they're heading to." Paliwanag nito.
...
Sinalubong kami ng maingay na Meeting Room. Everyone is here including the leader of Red Agents, Leader of Black Agents , Three spy including me, Butler Dee (the advisor of Black Eagle), and our Boss (Black Eagle).
Ang mga Black Agents ay naka-assign sa mga computers. Sila ang nagtatrack sa locations at identity ng mga kalaban, nagha-hack sa mga systems at gumagawa ng mga teknolohiyang ginagamit naming mga spy. Ang mga Red Agents naman ang naka-assign sa security at safety naming lahat. Sila ang sumasabak sa bakbakan at labanan sa mga oras na nasa hindi magandang sitwasyon ang mga miyembro.
"I can't believe this, how can the enemies know that our agents are on mission?" galit na sabi ni Sir Alvir, ang leader ng Black Agents.
"Isa lang ang ibig sabihin nito! May traydor satin!" nangggalaiting wika naman ni Sir Jury, ang leader ng Red Agents. Nagsimula na namang mag-ingay ang lahat.
"Traydor? Oh sadyang pabaya lang kayong mga Red Agents? Hindi ba't trabaho niyo ang siguraduhing ligtas ang mga miyembro?" giit ni Sir Alvir.
Nagsalubong ang kilay ni Sir Jury dahil sa narinig? ''Oo! Responsibilidad naming mga Red Agents ang siguraduhing ligtas ang lahat. Ngunit obligasyon niyong manatiling ligtas sa bawat oras!''
"Calm down everyone." tumahimik ang lahat ng magsalita ang Boss namin. He was wearing a black face-mask to hide his identity. "Hindi lang ang grupo natin ang nag-iisip ng mga paraan. Ang ibig sabihin lang nito'y natunugan ng mga kalaban ang galaw natin."
"The question is how." kalmadong saad ni Butler Dee.
Napatingin ang lahat kay Black Eagle. "Just do your own jobs properly. My son has been sacrificing his life to spy on the children of our enemies, and I'm confident he will do his job properly."
"But Sir, the young Master shows no progress at all!" reklamo ng isang Spy na kasama ko, he's also wearing his face-mask and black cap.
Black Eagle was about to say something when his phone rangs. "Yes son?" he said when he answered the call. Biglang napangiti ang Boss namin. "Okay." he mouthed.
"Butler Dee, attend the Party hosts by the Former Mayor. Bring Adira with you and pretend as Father and daughter." utos nito, bago tumayo at nilisan ang silid.
Sabay-sabay namang nagsilabasan ang lahat.
I check my phone after exiting the meeting room and found messages in our group chat.
Section Diamond
Nicole: My father will be hosting a party tonight. I hope to see you all. Bring your parent/s with you.
Chloe: It will be so much fun.
Thaddeus left the group.
Nathan added Thaddeus.
So this is all about the mission?
...
I was stuck between curling my hair or doing a high ponytail. It's been five minutes since I'm thinking on what to do with my long straight hair.Ilang segundo pa ang nakalipas ay hinayaan ko nalang itong nakalugay. Nag-aayos na ako nang makatanggap ako ng text mula sa numerong hindi nakarehistro sa cellphone ko.
'Don't go to the party." The sender simply said. Hindi ko nalang ito pinansin at ipinagpatuloy na ayusan ang aking sarili.
Nakaramdam ako ng inis nang makita ang dress na isusuot ko mamaya. A string backless red dress. Wala akong magawa kundi isuot ito dahil iyon ang napili ng Design Team.
Ang Design Team ang naka-assign sa mga damit o susuotin naming mga spy pati na ang mga agents sa gitna ng mga misyon. Sila ang nag-iisip ng design/outfit at gumagawa ng mga damit na gagamitin sa lahat ng misyon na ibinibigay ng Boss samin.
Ilang minuto pa ay may kumatok sa pinto ng dressing room na aking kinalalagyan. Agad ko itong binuksan at bumungad sakin si Butler Dee. He was wearing a dark blue tuxedo with a sky blue neck tie, matching with black slacks and black shoes.
"You look ready Adira!" sabi nito.
Nginitian ko lamang siya. "Let's go!"
Nang makasakay kami sa kotse ay pinaliwanag sakin ni Butler Dee ang misyon.
"So, we're going to pretend as father and daugther. I guess this party is for your class section's parents. But according to our Boss, the accomplices of Family Gironella will all going to show up"
"Nagtataka ako kung bakit pati kaming mga section Diamond ay kailangang dumalo. Nakakainis! I hate wearing dress!" reklamo ko.
"We're going to find out why!"
...
CLHOE'S POV...
TWO DAYS BEFORE THE PARTY.
I was wondering why Uncle Jacob (Aldos's Dad) came to our house to visit my Dad. He straight- ahead on my Dad's office so I secretly followed him. Nang makapasok siya sa office ni Dad ay agad nilang isinara ang pintuan kaya wala akong nagawa kundi makinig dito sa labas ng office.
"So how was my proposal?" Uncle Jacob asks my dad.
My Dad simply answer "It's quite interesting, I like it."-Daddy.
"So we'd better get ready for campaign then." -Uncle Jacob.
"Yes of course, my family will be glad about this." rinig ko ang saya sa boses ni Daddy.
What are they planning to do?
...
When the dinner time comes, I can't help myself but to ask Daddy about what I heared.
"Dad?" malambing na sabi ko.
"Yes Sweetie?" -Daddy.
"Why did Uncle Jacob visited?" tanong ko.
Sumubo muna si Daddy ng pagkain niya bago sagutin ang tanong ko. "You're gonna find out at the party."
"Party?" nagtatakang tanong ni Mommy.
"Oo mahal. At ang party na magaganap ay exclusive para sa parents ng mga kaklase ni Nicole." -Daddy.
Isang ideya ang pumasok sa isip ko. Exclusive for my classmate's parents? Ibig sabihin, mami-meet ko ang parents ni Adira? I'm going to find out how rich they are.
"Parents? But Dad, it will be more exciting if my classmates will join the party. I'll handle them myself."
"Of course Sweetie, you can invite your classmates along with their parents." nag-ngitian naman sila Mommy at Daddy.
I smirked in my Dad's answer.
I'm gonna have a wonderful night!
