Chapter 44 Hidden
"I heard it too, he was killed in the forest." #1 guy student said.
"Rock Debra was really unfortunate, some says he was in a mission because he wore an assassin suit." #2 guy sitting with him stated. Then I felt Xenon stiffened while the three suddenly stopped. Shocked for a moment.
"When did it happen?" the #1 guy asked.
"According to the investigation, last Sunday and worst, it was a headshot." Answered by the #2 guy.
(A/N: I'm sorry please bear with the numbers hehe.)
Xenon, Adrian, Coby, and Lucas looked at each other but not too obvious. Then, I sensed Xenon gestured something at Lucas. Cassy and Drena seem not to realize as they continue eating, the boys looked innocent when they eat their food in silence.
"I'm done! I gotta go guys, I have a tutorial lesson." Lucas said smiling at us and they all nodded while I take a sip from my glass, not caring. I knew exactly what happened.
I killed him... and yes I remembered his name as Rock Debra, my memory never forget and always fresh. That's why I don't sleep much and decided to sleep early in the morning. So seeing the face of that old man is just for a little period of time.
The torture is fine, every night I experienced tortures from my dreams and it seems so real but I'm numb and can't feel pain, it's just that old man's face that is not fine.
I was out of my thought when I felt someone hold my hand from under the table. I looked at her, Drena. She's on my left side while Xenon is on my right.
She gestures to look at my right hand. I didn't realize I'm holding the spoon tight that it folded and created a print of my fingers. Luckily it's only Drena who saw it. I hide my spoon immediately and turned it back to normal.
Xenon didn't saw it because he was spacing out, probably thinking about that Rock guy.
... What does the four of you have been doing?
The lunch ended in silence and we're now out of the restaurant.
"Hey stick!" Coby called Cassy which is beside her.
"What did you just called me Giant!?" She's angry again.
"Don't call me giant!" Coby exclaimed in anger too.
"I will! Look at you, you're a giant!" She shouted back.
"You're stick! And I'll call you in any way I want." Coby said looking away. Tch.
"Giant! Hmmp!" Cassy put her arms across her chest.
Meanwhile,
"Take care, Dren," Adrian said in his soft voice.
"I am taking care of myself Adrian, don't mind me." She said in a harsh voice.
"You're always in my mind Dren, I can't stop it." He looked at her, catching her eyes.
Then I felt someone hold my hand and made me faced him.
"I hate it when you ignore me." Xenon pouted. He's so cute.
I want to kiss those lips... and so I did. I hold his collar and tiptoe as I peck his lips and walked away leaving him dumbfounded. Shocked. That's my kiss, I have my words. I felt the girls following behind me with creepy smiles.
We've already built a distance when I sensed Adrian walked towards Xenon and patted his shoulder which made him out of a daze. Xenon bites his lower lip hiding a smile while staring at my back.
The darkest place is so bright for my senses, I know what's happening. The Morounes Cave thought me. I miss them, I miss my wolves. But, I can't face them for now, I want to become human and face them. I wanted to surprise my first friends.
Carlo is my brother now...
Suddenly, my phone buzz. When, I looked at it, a message coming from Carlo saying I have a new mission. I smirked.
I did not attend my next class as I went towards my mission. I changed in my suit when I got near the place. The moment I reached the hiding place Carlo faced me.
"We have an exchange delivery package, we just need to ensure the exchange is successful." His face from serious turned to worry "This time it will be difficult, they are one of the strongest mafia known in the world, the Degouti Mafia." He explained.
Degouti Mafia is also known as the strongest but we're on top 1 and they are considered as the 4th. They're against Tarre's ruling but they never tried fighting against us.
The Tarre Family are the royals they just let us rule but they do not follow commands coming from us. For years father just ignored them as long as they wouldn't do unnecessary actions against us.
"Here, look at the blueprints of the area." He gave me a paper and I looked at it. The area is near the pier and it is full of big boxes, containers to be exact with spaces for the path. Good, challenging. I want myself in it.
"Who will receive the package?" I asked but this time my voice is cold. In every mission I had, my voice is always cold and hard even if I'm not on a mission except if I'm with mom and Carlo and now with my new friends. Friends...
"I will." He said in a hard voice, in every mission Carlo changes from a childish guy to a dangerous man.
"No. Leave it to me." Not him, it's dangerous for him.
"You are prohibited to be seen, they told us not to get you involved or they will back out. Stay hidden, for now." He stated.
I nodded. Then, he faced our men "Everyone listens, if unnecessary movements are coming from them, kill them immediately... and kill every enemy on your way." His voice is deadly.
All men nodded. Some dared to look at me then their faces turned in fear. Every time. That's why most of them are afraid to glance at me so they can focus on their fight later and not be killed.
"Proceed to your posts," Carlo said to our men and they all went towards their places. Then, he faced me.
"Don't die," I stated and he nodded.
"Take care." He said softly worry is seen in his eyes.
I nodded once and searched for a higher place where Carlo is on sight. Good thing there's a tower of signal far away but everything is on sight except some path that is covered by the shadow of containers. What's important is that, Carlo's on sight.
