Chapter Twenty-Seven
"Who are you? " I asked when I see someone's shadow. I feel like it's looking at me, directly.
"Klein? Is that you? " I said. "This is not funny. Or maybe you, Klevo? "
Because of unexplainable feelings and nervousness, my hands slowly reached my pocket. I let my hand touch it to get my knife. But, this time. It's like I forgot it.
Sh*t!
I really need it now.
When the time I gave back my sight on the shadow, it's gone. My eyes widened. Where did it go?
Geez. This is really bad.
Later on, I was just got surpised when I heard some footsteps in my back and it intend to bring me down. But, I'm fast so I fight with him. I stopped all its punches.
After that, he moved backwards slightly. I forced myself to look at his face but it's really dark because he's against the light. But, it shock me more when he used a kind of technique. A technique that heads only do.
Damn!
He's one of the heads.
But who?
The black agent?
What he want from me?
"You can't kill me here, " I said. It automatically came out from my mouth.
"I know, but maybe somewhere. " His voice is so familiar!
I tremble more in fear so I can't properly face his attacks on me. And then, he made his palm straight and it pushed it through my chest. I felt my heart stopped on its beating. Like, my soul got out from my own body for a second because of it.
I gasped for air.
I can't breathe properly.
I moved backwards causing myself to see his eyes. My eyes widened more. Those eyes...
Those eyes are...
But before I could say who he is, he stabbed my three times on my stomach.
* * *
"Goodness, 44! You're awake! " Klein immediately gave me a hug, a very warm hug.
"Ouch! " I shouted. And together with that, I felt the pain in my wound when Klein accidentally hit it. "Don't hug me! "
"Ay, why so snob? "
"Come on, don't be so easy to her. She's not yet healed, " Freyia said.
"Take it out. I need to get up, " I said.
"No, you can't. You're still in bad condition, " Tina also said. I only glared at her.
"I am not! I can handle myself! The important thing is, I need to find the guy who stabbed me. He will do this again if I wouldn't do something. "
"No, he won't. "
I looked at Klevo. How can he say that?! I guess, I'm not the only one he will come back for. Probably also them. I took a deep breathe.
"The important thing is, you're alive. "
"Yes. "
"Good thing you're still alive, meh. " I glared at him. Did he thought of me dying for this stupid stab? Geez.
"Looks like someone is missing, " I uttered. I was talking about Agent 89, or the Black Agent.
They all got silent.
Psh.
I just rolled my eyes. It's now in the afternoon. I've been slept for hours so. My wounds are still there, well it wouldn't healed that fast though. Freaking freak. Maybe, he really intend to do this so I wouldn't immediately get my trainings. My promotion for being head would be delay, ah.
Moments later, I told to my co-agents that I can now handle myself so they can leave me alone. The best in Es Sorores is when some agent got injured, they will gave him a kind of medicine that is different from what we used to. It can heal fast, like it can make the wound gone in just days. But, it depends on its condition though.
It's night when I decided to removed all of the things that attached to me. Good thing I'm that strong and well, brave so I can bare with my wound pains and just ignored it.
Since the supposedly trip around in our HQ is postponed last night, I would do it now. But, I needed to be more careful because he can come back to me. So, to make sure I'm safe, I brought my bladed cards at butterfly knife.
I went to the hallway, near in the office of our head trainers. And there, I stopped in the middle when I saw a painting.
I don't know who it was on that painting but I feel like staring at it. And, so I did.
I touched it and accidentally pressed my palm on it. I got surprised when the wall suddenly opened and turned another on its place. I went from the other side of it. I landed on the floor.
Freaking freak.
I stood up and fixed myself. Next, I roamed my eyes in the whole place. It's like... A library.
But, what caughts my attention is the book that placed in the middle together with its place. I walked towards it and opened it.
It's the history of Es Sorores.
But yeah, I didn't read that one. Because I already knew that the Black Agent founded this organization. So, I flip the pages again until I saw something.
The ten Legendary Heads of Es Sorores...
I read it.
"The Black Agent... " I said. "Mitz Higgins... "
So, that's his name.
Looks like for girls but he's damn hot.
"The Scorpion, Chad Velmer. The Eagle, Owl Gastherone... " I pouted. What a beautiful names. "The Archer, September Sumere. The Bullet, Coleman Anderson. The Shadow, Savannah Vanish... "
I flipped the pages again.
"The Silent Whimperer, Akemi Himura. Wow, Japanese, " I said. "The Baddest Reaper, Ally Summers. The Cold Blood, Silver Thomas. "
And then, the last one.
"The Chaos… " After when I read that, a flood of flashbacks came in my mind. The hidden smile of my face vanished. I closed the book.
I gasped for air.
The past is still hunting me.
I have responsibilities…
That I can't run away.
And also, I don't have a choice but to take the responsibility of it.
Just damn.
What did I do?
Well, this is for my family. Justice. Fair world. Yeah, I am here because of that.
