TVS 29: Unexpected Mission
F I R E
"The Hunters Association, we are summoned." Frost is here at my house, carrying the news that a meeting was called with us, Falcons.
"Why?" I asked him, it's already four in the afternoon.
"I don't know either. Are you with me?"
"Okay." I said and quickly prepared. We wore our uniforms, complete with metal badges.
"Elenor!" I saw her talking with someone and when I finished talking I called her.
"Oh, hi." He says.
"Where are the others?" Frost asked her so I waited for her answer.
"They're already at the conference room. Let's hurry." We ran our way to the head quarter's conference room and bowed our heads to the officials inside.
"Sit down." Which in turn we did.
"This is a special mission before you start doing the newbies' training." One by one we were handed the papers.
"We received reports ... And according to those reports, in the neighboring town, young ladies have been vanishing every night. I want you all to investigate. The association has a strong suspicion that vampires are behind it."
"When will we start?" Elenor asked.
"In three days, you should have a plan. Then after that you can proceed with the investigation."
......
"Annoying! Aren't there other slayers? Why are we always ?! Annoying!" Morelock nodded, he even kicked the tires of Frost's car.
"Bro! Don't be my baby!" Tss. Complainants.
"Elenor, came up with a plan?" I asked her, we're still here at the HQ.
"Nothing's on my mind, how about you? Marquis?" We diverted our gaze at Marquis who's at a deep thinking.
"Yeah, but I think this will be too risky." He said, with his index finger on his chin.
"Tell us."
..........
"Any clarifications?" Marquis said, it's regarding the plan that he came up with. I think it's a great idea. We're here at Elenor's house for the last minute discussion of the plan.
We also received a go signal to go to the neighboring town.
"Did you bring everything you need?" Lucas said, so we double checked everything that is needed for the execution of the plan.
"Lock and loaded!" We say that almost at the same time.
.......
"Do you think the plan will work?" Elenor asked me. We were eating in a cafeteria, it took us the night before we could get here to the town of Alfonso, in the province because the distance between the barrios and the town is really far, so we spent the night.
"I think so--" He slapped my hand.
"Don't speak English, remember, no one understands that here. Then so they won't notice that I don't--"
"Miss, it looks like you're new here ah?" Three men in their 30s to mid 40s approached.
"Ahh yes, we just moved in this morning. We couldn't cook dinner because we were so busy arranging things, so we just ate here." I looked at Elenor, she's calm and just continuing the meal glancing at me and the men.
"Aren't you with me?" I feel weird, something's not right. But I can't figure out what that is.
"Just the two of us, why?" My answer.
"Oh my, be careful. There's still a lot of talk today about the beautiful girls missing in this town. You have to be careful because you're beautiful." Shake-shake said one of those who approached us before they returned to their table.
There are a few people eating here because the night is not too late. But rarely do people walk outside.
"Let's go?" We also finished the meal, and decided to walk to our lodgings.
"Fire, I mean Leticia haha, don't let your guards down." Elenor whispered to me.
"Of course Purita." I smiled at her and gave her a mocking look. My name is older than his chosen disguise name! Pfft.
"Why are we wearing this? I don't know." He punched me softly so I just laughed at him.
"You should be in character, you should act like a real Filipina girl." I saw his forehead furrow, he wrapped his arm around me.
"This is really so baduy ---"
"W-Wait ?! W-Where are you taking us ?!"
"S-Wait! N-We're hurt!" Elenor exclaimed. We have men forcibly dragging.
"Don't fight anymore, so you won't get hurt!" A man said proudly as if his muscles were about to burst.
"I feel sorry for you, don't hurt us!" I pleaded.
"Shut up!" Another shouted, they were all six.
There was some kind of black thing they wrapped around us.
Where are they now, Frost ?!
"Sleep first hahahaha." I heard laughter before I could smell the strong smell and fall asleep.

"WHERE THE HELL IS FIRE ?!" My voice echoed inside the room.
"But Kuy--"
"Diana, I told you to look at Fire ?! Why are you now saying she's gone ?!" I just came back from Manila and this is what I will get?
"But--"
"Now find her! Bring her to me right now!" I'm just holding back now, but I want to kill in my heart!
"I-I can't." He was just staring at the floor when he said that.
"Why ?!" I calmed down a bit but I was still angry, she failed to do her job.
"Because you don't want me to finish. She's on a mission with her co-slayers."
"Mission? Where else?"
"With Alfonso, I asked Zephyr to keep an eye on her. You'll be very angry especially when you don't have a love team." Aba't--
"Make sure of what you're saying, I'll cut your head off when something happens to him. Now leave." She bowed and left my office. Damn!
*knock*knock*
"Come in."
"Hey, what happened to Diana?" I didn't answer Vishnyr's question, with him Drac, Zephyr and Tanj entering.
"We're in a big problem, Xav." I looked again at Vishnyr, waiting for him to continue what he's going to say.
"There are many missing girls in the nearby town, the Hunters Association sent slayers, and a Fire group was sent." He kept saying that I would almost hold my breath.
"What ?!" I pinched the bridge of my nose.
"Don't worry, he's with everyone in his group. One more thing, that's not the problem ..." Zephyr added.
"Eh what ?! Can you please get straight to the point ?!" I gave them a death glare.
"Some of your constituents are complaining, because there is a lack of supply in the blood market. I think someone is hoarding blood." Damn!
"What are you waiting for ?! Do it that way! What about those jobs that I gave you? Did you finish?" I asked them, about what I asked them to do before I left for Manila. This time it was Tanj who spoke.
"We're still in the process, but we'll report our findings soon."
"Alright, fix the one at the blood market, take and bring me all the blood hoards."
Aish! Why so many problems ?! I only lost three days ah.
"Oh? Why are you still here?" I asked Vishnyr, the three had left, and here he was.
"I need to talk to you, it is something important."
"About what?"
"It's about Fire."
About Fire?
