"Hello! Good Afternoon..! Is there any vacant available Sir?" That was Margaret's immediate question to the teenager who was sitting near the entrance-exit of the PC room. She is sure that this guy is the watchman of those times.
"For how many hours?" He asked politely while standing up."Open hour" She answered.Open hour- means you are willing to pay no matter how long you spend using the computer. 98% of the people who use the PC room are gamers.. But 2% is surely for private matters like her. She is there not to play games, but to hack the CCTV cameras installed in every corner of the road that the van may have traveled on.According to the descriptions, her mother rode in a black tinted van."Give me the seat at the corner." She added to her answer to the child.She followed him and opened the monitor."Here...." She handed the money for the advance payment.You have to pay an advance fee if you use an open hour."Thank you." After the boy received his money, he returned to his own seat. She, on the other hand, started pressing the 'keyboard'."......lets see..." She whispered.There's a lot of black vans passing by that were spotted by CCTV.. But she didn't see anything suspicious."This is difficult.. Da*n it!"20 minutes later...She noticed a dark gray van turning the road and heading towards an abandoned building. The said building was a large house that burned down. The owner doesn't want to fix it anymore because it's impossible. So they just abandoned it."Gotcha.." After she memorized the road and location.. She quickly hacked the police communication line.. (A.N. this is just all my imagination.. Don't take it seriously)After sending the location details... Kidnapping details.. And victim information, she quickly stood up and headed for the exit door."I'm done..." She smiled at the teenager who also looked at her."You can't last."" oh... My friend is not online. We were supposed to play.""Ahhh... This is your change Sister.." The teenager held out her change."Thank you..." She smiled sweetly in return.When she got out of the said internet cafe. She called for a Jeepney and got in. After an hour of traveling. She also reached her destination. Before getting off. The driver told her to be careful because it was getting late. She thanked him. She took the dark road towards an abandoned building that was standing just in the distance. The said building used to be a big mansion that according to the information she read on the internet earlier, was owned by one of the richest people in the town of Caloocan. But the owner abandoned it and moved to America with his family."Da*n! If only I had a mobile phone!" She gritted her teeth.Well.. She can't blame the mother for the hardships of their lives."I will earn some money once I find the perfect vacant time." She whispered while walking.She stopped walking only 100 meters away from the building, it is big.. The question is.. Where is the exact location of her mother?"You really an idiot woman...." The voice inside her mind.."Whaaa----- Phoenix?" She sure heard it."En.. I already gave you power yet you only used it once?" The bird said to her."Used it once? When?" She asked in surprise.The Phoenix groan.. "When you broke the face of your classmate's brother... No, that was wrong, let's rephrase it. When you one-sidedly beat up the siblings.." The bird is mocking her."Stop blaming me.. It's their fault.. They are bullies".. She defended herself."Yah... Whatever.""So, you said I used your power. Why don't i remember?""Remember the scene that time.. You'll understand"She paused for a second. Then she remembered something.."Whoah!!!" She exclaimed while her eyes also widened. "It was that power?!.. Is that why Joseph's punch was so slow?""No and yes..""What?... What do you mean?" She frowned when she asked."It's not because of my power that his punches are slow... But because your eyes are reading its punches flow.. And it's also because of my power that your reaction is fast." The bird explained."Woooowwww! Thats really cool.." She looked excited."You're so happy just because of that?" Tsk... Listen carefully kid.. Look up there.. The third floor.." He ordered her and she obeyed. "Then think that you're looking through it.""Imagine that my gaze penetrates.. Yeah... Yeah.. Okay." She whispered... And she started concentrating..It was just a moment and she didn't know if she saw an illusion or what, but it was unbelievable that she could see people inside the building."Whoaaa! This is so cool! If by chance I had this power back then, I would be alive today.." She said."Aren't you still alive now?" The Phoenix." ahhh.. Yes, by the way... Hehe.." She answered scratching her head."You really are brainless..""Shut up..."She looked around. So, that's why she couldn't see any cars outside.. Because the van was already inside the garage."How are you gonna rescue your mom?""Simple.... Surprise attack.." She replied smiling.."The h*ll?" Are you a superhero or something??? There are many enemies inside!!!" The Phoenix was exclaiming.. She could imagine that its fire had grown. That's why she smiled."I am a top ranked assassin when I was Margaret..." Those people are easy to kill." She replied arrogantly."Oh.... Then go.. Just make sure you don't die again. I'm not fully recovered yet to come out of your mind space....""Wait... You mean... You can go out here in the human world?""But of course!! Am a legendary spirit bird!! Spirit!!!" It screamed."Stop shouting.. I get it now.. I'm just surprised.."Hmph!" The bird became quite.The girl didn't say a word and started planning... When she's about to run towards the entrance.. Suddenly she heard breaking glass on the third floor. And when she looked up.. she saw a shadow entered the broken window. The shadow comes from the top of the building.. Used a rope to swing inside."The hell.. The police have come???!" She said in shock."No impossible.. There's no police mobile.. So who's that?" Using the eyes of Phoenix she scanned the area on the roof of the building.. There still another 1 person.. Armed too.. And there is another 3 persons in the other room near the room that the previous one entered.. "Who the fu*k are they?... The PHOENIX?" She was stunned. No, Impossible. How could the group of assassins that she used to belong to, would go there. She's curious now.She quickly ran closer to the building.. And using what she learned in her training she easily climbed up windows to windows... She was already at the 3rd floor window when she stopped."This host body is weak. Low stamina.. Jeez... I'm going to go jogging to school next time." She whispered while panting.She scanned the area again.. The man who entered first is currently on the move to take down those guards.. While the other three with him are also busy taking down other guards in another room.. The image she sees now is like human-shaped flames.. That's the power of her eyes now.. hehehe.."Stop grinning like an idiot.. That's my power not yours.." Phoenix teased her."Shut up! She gave a snarky answer to the bird. It didn't answer.She began to move too... She walked to the room where her mother was locked up. Her mom was unconscious while laying on the floor. She was already in the hallway going to the room when she heard a faint groan. She turned to where it came from, Ohhh.. The guy is injured. The guy who passed through the window. But how come? He has a wound on his back? Eh? How did that happen. All his opponents are in front, tho?"Oh,It's an old injury.. That's why.... It looks like the wound has opened due to the constant movement.She kept watching.. His two armed opponents rushed forward with batons but the man quickly avoided them. He kicked one of those who rushed and then he grabbed the other's arm. In one round, he quickly broke the arm he was holding. The owner of the arm screamed."Ohhh.. He has potential" She whispered.. She continued to watch.. The man who had been kicked stood up again.. And again, he rushed furiously.. She heard the scream even though they were a room between them. "Kill him!!!!" Yelled of the man who got kicked.The other three men in the room followed the order. The next scene was like a movie. They rushed at the same time, Holding the baton. They tried to hit the man but it was difficult to hit. The man is good with his hands. Trained person, 100% sure that he went through intense training like her. One hit landed to man's back which caused his balance to break."Da*n it!" Margaret let out a word... "Those fuckers..! They will kill that man for sure. Those loan sharks are indeed so cruel. She couldn't stand it anymore.. She ran towards the room where the fight was happening."Kill him now.. He is weak.!" The acting leader of the goons shouted to order his people.The three approached with a smile on their faces, hoping to attack again, but the door suddenly opened.. A very fast flying kick strike one person.. The one who was hit by Margaret's kick was thrown to the corner of the room.. The people inside the room were stunned."Hi...! May I join the fun..?" It's a sweet question from no other than Margaret.The five men standing inside stared at her. They looked at the one who had fallen and noticed that he had lost consciousness. Then looked at Margaret again."Who are you?" A man who was involved in the kidnapping of his mother asked. This is the same man who shouted earlier to order his companions to kill the man who was currently sitting on the floor and was slowly getting up."Me?"... Margaret said as she pointed to herself. "I'm just a student... Jeniva Sanchez's daughter who is currently your hostage and is locked in one of the rooms of your building. My name is Jenny... Jenny Capria Sanchez." she answered the question with a smile. Then she suddenly changed her face expression.. The whole of Antarctica was on her face because of the coldness of her expression... "I'm also here to kill you.." She added..They were stunned, but after a while, the four laughed loudly."You?! you're going to kill us? The standing leader of the four including the unconscious one laughingly asked."E
Martinez Memorial Hospital. "What happened?" David greeted her. Fast than to five o'clock he immediately went to the front of the hospital's information desk.She borrowed the cell phone of one of the nurses who also attended to her when she was rushed to the hospital, and called David. Her doctor and the director of this hospital. The man was still at home when he received the call."My mom's unconscious... She has been kidnapped by the loan sharks." Brief explanation from Margaret. "And you? What's this?" He holds on the hem of her school uniform. "Blood?! Are you injured?!.. This is a worried question. " Marie, check her if she has a bruise or something.. " He ordered the nurse who was following him. She must be David's assistant."I'm fine.. I've no bruises..." She stopped the woman who was about to approach her. "I just called you so you can check my mom's health status." She said to David."You used the hospital phone, don't you have one?""En.""Here.. Use mine.." It was Zio
"What, what?, I'm only 18 years old and you're obviously a few years older than me, so I should just call you big brother." Margaret's realistic explanation to Zion."Right.. I'm older than you.. So you must behave in there. Many big people regularly come to Casino Manila, local and foreign." Man's warning.'I know.." Margaret whispered to herself.. How could she not know, when she was living with her own body she always entered the Casino of another country.. Not to play, but to talk to their boss and accept a mission ."Okiedokie." She answered excitedly. If she didn't play before, this time... She will rob some money by winning the games. She needs money for her mother. And above all, she needs money for her revenge.Before 1976, most of Manila had events of illegal gambling, and the operating of unlicensed casinos had begun in the country of the Philippines. Since 1976, the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) has regulated the rules around the grounds of gambling.
It's already 11:36 when she enters her mother's hospital room. Nurses on the night shift were the ones she met, couldn't take their eyes off her as she walked down the hospital corridor.Because, she is still wearing the red gown she wore in the casino earlier. She caught Marie laying on the empty bed on the other side of that room. She turned to her mother's side, She's sleeping. She went to the bathroom and started to get dressed. David is too kind to give them a private room. Even she doesn't understand why he is helping her. She took her phone and typed a message for the said doctor. The message is short and simple."I'm back and I can pay."She put her phone back in the pouch and left the bathroom. Marie is awake. Maybe she was awakened because of the rustling she was doing in the bathroom."Ma'am.. You are back." She greets her with a smile."En." She looked at the clock hanging on the wall. "It's already midnight.. You can continue sleeping." She said to her"Okay."The young n
"Announcement for all students of senior high who are going to graduate, think about what course you will take when you come to college." It was the voice of their adviser who was currently collecting the answer sheets. "And, your names and test scores will be posted on the school forum. So I hope everyone will be kind and wait." Jenny forgot, it was her last year in high school. Somehow, she got revenge for the real Jenny from those who abused her. Not bad anymore."It's too early for lunch, what should we do?" It's Lui..Jenny thought. Tomorrow she can take her mother out of the hospital. If they go back to where they used to live it's dangerous. She does not yet know who are the people of the most prominent loan sharks are. And she didn't want to find out anymore because Zion assured her that he would take care of it."I have to go somewhere. Do you want to come?" She asked her friend back."Hmmm-hmmm" Lui nodded and answered."Fix your things."It acted quickly and fixes the stuf
Zion opened the door of the car in front of him and got out. He opened the passenger seat and let Mia in. The cold atmosphere spread inside the sedan when Zion re-entered next to the driver's seat."Hello, Miss Mia.. " it was Cain's voice. They know each other because they always meet at Zion's Grandfather's house."Hello Cain." The girl greeted the young man in return."You're still beautiful as always" Cain praised with a smile."Thank you, and you're still a sweet talker like before.""Heh..."After that conversation, nothing more was heard after that. Only when the car started moving did Mia speak again."How have you been, Zion? This is a formal question."Good." Zion answered sparingly."Still cold, huh!""..... "Mia sighed...Zion didn't say a word again choosing to close his eyes while folding his arms. Aron and Cain also noticed the atmosphere so they didn't say anything.M.O.A. Ground floor."You don't have to accompany us anymore uncle." Jenny said to the driver who was st
When Jenny opened the door of her mother's room in the Hospital, she immediately saw that she had a visitor. Its David. The people inside turned at the same time when she entered."Jenny! It's good that you're back, why did you return home late?" The lady asked worriedly.She placed the shopping on the empty sofa and approached her mother. She gave her a kiss on the forehead.."I'm sorry, Lui and I enjoyed our shopping. We didn't realize the time and the traffic on the highway overtook me." She apologized while explaining to her mother."Ahw..... I also thought that's how it was." She hugged her waist."You have a visitor?" She then turned to David who was also quietly observing while waiting for her to notice him."Yes." Her mom "I told Marie that I was worried about you, so she called Doc. David." We about to call you when you arrive.""Hmmm... I see.." She said then stroked the mother's cheek. "Then, did you eat?" She asked after a while. Her mother nodded one after the other."Ma
They went to the Toyota company in Balintawak, because it is the closest to the area. Jenny chose the Toyota Hiace super Grandia worth P2.8M.David keeps following her. Trying to describe the best choice of a car. But since she's already great at choosing cars, she doesn't need David's advice."We need to road test your car." David spoke behind her. "Yeah.. Don't worry I have my own drivers." She said. "You have drivers.. Not one but two?""En. So I plan to buy three cars.""Jenny... " the man called her."En?" She looked at him. "As a doctor, I'm curious." He said while staring at her. "Your family has no ability to earn enough money.. Don't get me wrong. I'm just stating the truth. But you, you earned money in just a night. More than that. You know about cars... Tell me, who are you?" The young man asked her seriously. Jenny remains silent for a second.. But she recovered immediately and gradually smiled."Someone helped me earn money." She said then let a sigh. "He lent me a mil
