Chapter 8

Michael Angelo, Yohan and their team are now heading to manila port where the syndicate's transaction with their foreign client will be held. Agent Y is in charge of the CCTV, and he will guide the team by communicating them through an earpiece that was given to each member. Their goal for this assignment is to free the children from the syndicate.

"There are 100 children in each truck guarded by 20 armed men by truck, you should divide yourselves into 3" Agent Y said through earpiece. Everyone said "roger in unison.

"Agent C lead the 1st team, Agent M for the second team and I will lead the 3rd team. Remember, we should take those trucks with children inside away from here at all cost, we should protect their lives. Agent S, Agent D, Agent E you will drive the truck. There are more opponents than us, but I know we can do it." Agent A said. There are only 35 agents in all. 2 drivers of a van, The 2 agents will be the look out of the 2 van they are using, and Agent Y in the monitor. The 30 agents are divided into 3.

They are now preparing to attack when suddenly Agent Yohan call their attention. "Everyone listened, make sure the children will not get hurt, and also inside the abandoned ship, there are tons of armed men so don't go inside. And don't let those kids enter inside that ship. Wear your masks to protect your identity."

"Copy" Said in unison.

The trucks are to park beside the seaport. They should be careful from their move to avoid the attention from the enemies, so they will use silencer to shoot those guards.

Michael Angelo and their team are heading to the 3rd truck silently. He shot the driver of the truck first. He took the body and replaced by Agent E, he will drive the 3rd truck later. 19 guards left he thought to himself. All agents are busy killing those enemies and as expected they successfully get those children.

"You have 5 minutes left everyone to abandon the area" announced by Yohan.

"We are now leaving" Agent C said. "We're done here" Agent M coolly said. "Let's Go" Michael said.

To avoid getting caught they replace the trucks and put the dead bodies inside in exchange to the trucks filled with children. The syndicate inside the abandoned building were oblivious to what is happening outside. They were just waiting for their client. Little did they know, the children are gone.

When one of the men was about to check the children, they noticed that there are no guards guarding the truck. They opened the trucks and to their surprise, instead the children are inside, the dead bodies of their colleagues are there. They hurriedly went inside the building and reported the incident to their boss.

The leader of the syndicate clenched his jaw as he heard the bad news.

"Whoever did this to me will be going to pay triple!!" And he burst out in anger.

A wide grin is plastered in Yohan's face. They successfully get the children. They never thought that is way too easy but as what their chief said, and said syndicate are powerful, so they need to be careful.

Furthermore, they are heading to the NBI to surrender the children. Their chief called someone inside the intel to meet the agents and to get the children as well.

But to what their protocol are, they need to wear masks to keep their identity to everyone.

The three trucks arrived safely in the NBI building where Rodolfo the NBI agent, he is referred by their chief, and he is the one to receive the children.

They went back to their hideout for a conference together with their chief via video call.

"Congratulations team for a job well done. For sure Mr. Albert Lopez, the leader of a syndicate will get mad. And congrats for a zero casualty, you made me proud. Your trainings are worth it. Keep it up. I'm sure this is just the beginning of your actual assignment." The chief congratulated them.

It was already five in the morning and Michael Angelo remembered that he will pick Athena from their house. After they give those children, he asked Yohan that he will leave, because he needs to fetch her fiancé. Yohan just nodded and Michael immediately drove his car to the Meredith's Mansion.

The guard noticed his car, and so he let Michael inn. He is an hour early, so he decided to take a nap for a while inside his car. He didn't notice that he didn't wear his thick glasses, and he is wearing a black leather jacket, with black V-neck shirt, black pants and a combat shoes, his gun is placed on the passenger seat. Luckily his car is heavily tinted, and also it is a bulletproof.

Someone knocked in the windshield of his car, the reason why he woke up. As he check himself through the rearview mirror, he's a bit startled that his not wearing his glasses and he didn't even change his clothes, and the gun is in his side. He hurriedly put the gun inside his backpack that is in place on the passenger seat at the back. And took a clean v-neck white shirt, he immediately changed his clothes and put his glasses on before he open the door.

"Good morning. Are you sleeping inside?" She asked with a frown.

"H-hey uhm Good morning. I'm sorry I slept. " Athena shook her head.

"It's okay. Nana told me that you're here. Why you didn't go inside?" She sighed

"Let's get inside first. Breakfast is ready" she said then smiled at him. Michael just nodded and didn't utter any single word. He followed Athena going inside to the house and straight to the kitchen.

As what Athena said, The food is already served, in the table there ham, bacon, toasted bread, eggs, hot dogs and juice.

"Do you want coffee?" she asked.

"Yes please." Athena nodded and told one of their housemaids to make one for Michael Angelo.
