It was Wednesday morning, zhul and the guys had gone home to rest because Franz had warned them that today would be a long day. By the end of the day Angel would be back home where she belonged. They now all stood in Franz's office waiting to be instructed.
"I hope you are all fully rested" Franz started. All of them nodded confidently.
"Good" Franz said walking over to his office door. "Allow me to introduce the best men in philippines's Covert Ops." Franz opened the door and three strange looking men wearing black uniforms walked in.
"This is Stephen Staromana , 5th in command of the Covert Ops." Franz said introducing him. Stephen had colorful feathers on his right eyelashes and eyebrow. He had shiny skin and jaw-length hair, which, in conjunction with the feathers, gives him a somewhat feminine appearance. The guys began to wonder if this guy was seriously in the military.
"This is Edmund Belvis, 3rd in command of the Covert Ops" Edmund was a tall skinny bald guy who looked like he wore red make up next to his eyes. The boys were really beginning to doubt Franz's judgment.
"Lastly, this is Arjay Bermudo, Captain of the Covert Ops Squad of the philippines Military." The man who was known as Arjay was a tall muscular man. He had an eye patch and black spiky hair, the most noticeable thing about him was his devilish grin.
Arjay looked at the young men in front of him then began to speak. "What makes you punks think that you can go up against Rusty" He scoffed.
Adrian became irritated. "We're not weak" he snapped. Arjay began to laugh.
"You are a bunch of high school boys, I don't see why you guys are tagging along" Arjay said getting into Adrian face. Arjay then looked at Marison. "And you are just big for nothing huh?"
zhul was getting tired of the insults. "Look here bermudo" zhul started. Stephene and Edmund were taken back by zhul tone. " We need help getting Angel Perez back, whether you like it or not, we are going to go save Angel, with or without the help of you, the baldy or the pansy."
Edmund and Stephene were ready to attack him but Arjay held his hand out ordering them to halt.
Arjay looked at zhul and smirked. "You got spunk kid" arjay stated.
"If you are done fooling around Bermudo, can we get back to the matter at hand" Franz said sounding quite annoyed.
Arjay laughed and looked at everyone seriously. "Okay first we need to figure out the area, does anyone know where this Claveria Cagayan is.
"Yeah I do" Bobby said speaking up.
"So are you the punk that got the girl kidnapped in the first place" Arjay said. Bobby simply nodded then handed Arjay a long roll of paper. Arjay raised his eyebrow then opened it. He smirked when he saw its contents.
"So you got the blueprints to the house, how did your grimy little hands on it" Arjay asked.
"I have my sources" He replied simply.
"Good, well then let's start making the plans." He yelled in excitement.

"So, Angel Perez, Zhul Alexis , Gerand Nunez, Adrian Ramos, Marison Yul, Brix Zaragoza are all absent from class today?" Mrs.Villanueva said looking over her roster once again, not sure whether to be worried.
"Yes, they all got a stomach virus from something I cooked" Shella said scratching her head nervously. Everyone in class gave her a puzzled look. Shane smiled to herself, she already knew what was going on because her husband had told her.
Rhesalyn, Mush and Darlene all gave Shella a suspicious look. They knew something was up.
….
"So spill it" Rhesalyn demanded . Rhesalyn, Darlene, Mush, Jenny, Jonica and Engeline had Shella cornered on the roof. Engeline had convinced Darwin and Archie to sit with the cheerleaders for lunch in the cafeteria so they could interrogate Shella.
"What do you mean?" Shella asked innocently.
"Don't give us that innocent act Shella, I know you learned that from Angel" Mush snapped. Shella was beginning to get nervous. zhul warned her not to tell the girls because they would most likely freak out and prevent the guys from rescuing angel.
"Like I said they all got a stomach virus."
"Shella, please don't lie to us" Darlene pleaded. "I'm worried about everyone especially Angel"
Shella couldn't take it. Darlene's puppy dog eyes was too much for her to handle. "Angel was kidnapped" Shella confessed.
Everyone's eyes widened, most of them couldn't move or process what she said. But Engeline had an immediate response. "Please tell me this is a joke" Engeline said. Shella shoke her head and as she did a couple tears escaped her eyes, and that's when everyone realize that Shella was serious. Angel had been kidnapped.
"When?" Jenny asked.
"Yesterday, some man named Joshua kidnapped her"
"Why would he want her" Rhesalyn asked with her voice breaking. She was usually very tough but hearing this was getting her scared.
"She was protecting Bobby from him and he ended up taking Angel instead."
"So this is Bobby's fault? Wait till I see him, he is so dead" Rhesalyn said with much more confidence.
"Well hopefully they all save her" Shella said out loud but more to herself.
"They? Who went to save Angel?" Darlene asked.
"Zhul, Bobby, Brix, Kent, Marison, Gerand and Adrian" Shella admitted.
"So those idiots went to go rescue her without telling us?" Jonica yelled. This was shocking everyone, she had rarely showed emotion.
"I bet you zhul thought we would get in the way" rhesalyn said annoyed. shella nodded her head.
"Well angel is my best friend, I will not sit back and do nothing" Mush stated. "Me either!" Engeline co-signed
"But how can we help, we have no idea how to get there" Darlene said.
"I think Franz might know" Shella suggested.

Mhadz knocked on the door of the Alexis Clinic. She played with her bag nervously. She had a lot on her mind, Last night angel didn't come home, but franz insisted that she stayed at her friend jenny house. Also Franz seemed so distant last night, she wondered if he was keeping something from her. Lastly Mhadz had been feeling extremely sick. She was nervous. This was worse than any sickness. Her face was beginning to get extremely pale and she always felt so weak and tired.
The front door opened and Mhadz saw a smiling Marisa.
"Hello Mrs.Perez" Marisa greeted.
"Hello Mrs.Alexis and please call me Mhadz" Mhadz said.
"Okay, as long as you call me Marisa"
"Deal" Marisa agreed.
"Would you like to come in, I just made coffee" Marisa offered.
"That would be great" Mhadz said accepting and following Marisa in to the Alexis home. Mhadz took a seat at the kitchen table while Mariaa served her coffee.
"So what brings you here, I hope Angel is doing good"
"Well, I have been feeling sick lately and I didn't want Franz to know. But if I go to our regular doctor, he would find out and become an overprotective husband and worry. So I thought your husband could tell me what's wrong with me." Mhadz explained.
"Oh, that's understandable, what seems to be the problem?" Marisa asked curiously.
"Well I have lost the color in my face, I feel tired all the time, I throw up everything I eat. I'm scared I may have cancer, since my grandmother had it" Mhadz explained. Marisa raised her eyebrow at the explanation.
"So has anything else been bother you, like body parts?"
"Well now that you mention it, my breasts are always sore and my feet are looking a bit big" Mhadz went on to explain. Marisa chuckled to herself.
"Mhadz, when is the last time you got your period?"
"Uh… actually I am really bad at keeping track of that…why do you ask?" Mhadz asked obliviously. Marisa laughed out loud and shook her head. "Oh nothing"
Mhadz was about to retort when Victor made his way into the Alexis home.
"MARISA I'M HOME!" he said excitedly. Victor then saw Mhadz sitting at his kitchen table.
"Hello, Mrs.Perez to what do we owe the pleasure, I hope Angel is doing okay" He said to her.
"She is fine; I came here to seek medical help about myself."
"Sure, let's go to my office and talk"Victor suggested pointing down the hallway. Mhadz nodded and walked in the direction he pointed at. Victor was about to follow behind when Marisa pulled him back.
"Give her a pregnancy test; I think I know what's wrong with her"
"You sure?" Victor asked. Marisa winked. "Positive!"

"Okay are you punks ready?" Arjay asked them. Edmund, Stephene, Zhul, Gerand, Kent, Bobby, Adrian, Marison and Brix were all dressed in black hiding behind a huge rock not very far from a large white mansion aka Claveria Cagayan.
"I don't know boss" Edmund said. "I mean we came up with the plan in a matter of hours, why couldn't we have tried to prepare a bit more"
"Because we don't have time" Bobby snapped.
"Look, Bobby said we have to try to get her out before the day is over preferable before nine" Zhul reminded them.
"Why before then, are the guards quieter before then?" Stephene asked.
"No, my source said that angel is gonna need us to save her before then or she might end up hurt?
"Who is this source?" Adrian asked.
"It doesn't matter" Zhul yelled frustrated. "All that matters is that we get her out of there"
"Carrot top is right" Arjay agreed, "Now you all know your roles, let do it!"
….
Angel sat on the bed nervously. She knew that another man would come in the room. This time it wasn't demmy. Last night she and demmy had played chess and talked to they fell asleep. She found out that demmy had used his spying techniques to find out things about darlene. He was completely infatuated with darlene. angel also learned about Bobby's's ongoing affairs with Cassandra and Fatima.
KNOCK KNOCK! Angel jumped when she heard the violent knocking at her door. "Angel" she heard a rough but familiar voice.
"Leyvan?" Angel whispered to herself.
"May I come in?" he asked evilly. Angel jumped up and decided to try and hide in the bathroom but before her body could register what to do, Leyvan busted into the room. Angel yelped in surprise and Leyvan simply smirked at her.
"Hello Gel" He said. "I hope you like the nick name I gave you" Leyvan started to walk closer to her. Angel stood there frightened. He inched closer and Angel could only run. Angel started for the bathroom. Leyvan laughed the grabbed Angel's wrist and threw her on the bed with a great force. Angel couldn't even think to react when he pinned her down. It reminded her of what happen yesterday but she had a feeling demmy could not come and save her this time.
"I was chosen to spend time with you today, now let's see what you have under those clothes" Leyvan said moving his hands under her skirt.
"No STOP" Angel yelled, she tried to break way but he was way too strong for her.
"Stay STILL!" he roared, Leyvan raised his hand to hit her. Angel turned her face and closed her eyes to brace herself for the impact.
But it never came Angel looked up to see a hand holding Leyvan's back.
"Get away from her" a new voice said. Angel couldn't believe what she was hearing it sounded like…
"Zhul?"Angel said out loud. Leyvan then turned to swing at the new comer but Zhul dodged it and hit Leyvan in the neck and as soon as he did Leyvan fell to the ground. Zhul smirked at his win. Brix had taught all the guys where the pressure point in the neck was, and it could knock someone out cold for hours.
Zhul looked up to see Angel. She was looking at him wide eyed with her eyes glossed over with water. He noticed she had been wearing a simple white dress that was torn a bit.
"Is this a dream?" Angel said slowly getting off the bed. Zhul smirked. "So you dream about me midget?"
Angel was snapped back to normal and frowned at him the proceeded to kick him in the shin.
"Ow, you damn dwarf, I came here to save you and all you do is kick me?" Zhul complained rubbing his shin.
"That's what you get for calling me names" Angel said. Zhul and Angelbglared at each other, and then Zhul soften his expression.
"I'm glad you're okay Angel" He said seriously. Angel was surprised by his tone but happy all the same. "I can't believe you came here to help me. How did you find out? How did you even get in here?"
"Don't worry I'll explain everything later, but for now we have to get you out of here" Zhul said. He grabbed Angel's hand and was about to head for the door but he felt resistance. He looked back to see Angel not moving. "What's wrong?" He asked impatiently.
"Before we leave, there is something I need to say"
"No, you can say It once I get you out of here" Zhul argued. Angel shook her head. "There is no guarantee we will make it, and I can't take that chance" Angel finished.
Zhul gave up and allowed her to speak. Angel took a deep breath and walked up to Zhul. "I am so sorry for being back and forth with you. You have been there for me and all I did was abuse your kindness."
"Angel you don't have to-"
"Please let me finish" Angel pleaded. "I am so in love with you Zhul Alexis, I don't know how it's possible to fall so hard for someone within a few weeks but I know what I feel for you is real and whatever you have with Shella, is nothing compared to the bond that we share and-" Angel was cut off when Zhul crashed his lips onto hers. Angel who was a bit shocked at his actions quickly responded to the kiss.
Angel had to admit kissing Zhul again was like ecstasy. She missed everything about him, his presence and warmth made her feel whole again. Zhul pulled away and looked at the flustered Angel and smiled.
"I love you too midget!" He said, Angel smiled and was ready to kiss him again when the door opened.
"Are you two seriously making out, when our lives are at stake" Gerand said annoyed. Angel ran to the door to hug Gerand. "I can't believe you're here too." Gerand smiled and hugged her back. "Yeah, of course I came, now let's move" Gerand said. Zhul nodded and they all left the room and snuck down the hallway. They all made their way quietly down the hallway.
Gerand then whispered into a walkie. "Adrian we are about to hit the throne room, is it clear?"
"Adrian too?"Angel questioned quietly. "Yeah, he is watching the security cameras"
"We're clear" Gerand said moving forward, Zhul and Angel followed behind. They entered the throne room, which was empty.
"Shit Gerand, a couple of guys are coming towards you." Adrian told him. Gerand began to panic till another voice spoke up "We got it."
Angel then heard some fighting down the hall, it lasted for a minute then three figures emerged, it was Arjay, Kent and Bobby.
"Kent and Bobby?!" Angel exclaimed. "And who is he?" Angel asked pointing to Bermudo.
"He is the leader of the cover ops" Gerand answered.
"Let's get going people "Arjay said.
"Right, Adrian can we go forward?" Gerand asked. He waited for a reply but he heard nothing. "Adrian?"
"No, this is Cedric Cruzz, your friend is sleeping right now" Gerand eyes widened then her threw the earpiece. "Shit, they are on to us."
All the guys decided running was there best bet but then they heard a voice.
"Welcome men" a voice said to them. Everyone turned to see a tall man with brown hair standing at the end of the room.
"I am Rusty Flores, Nice to see you all"
