Driving

Chapter 37. Driving

THE briefing of the new case Phoenix Agency's agents would handle was connected to the one who manipulated the syndicate for years, which was the l'Association de l'Orage—its English name was Storm Association.

"Since we already destroyed their main sources of dirty money, they're now looking for Phantom Syndicate's replacement."

The situation room's lights were dimmed, the projector was on and the projector screen was showing the possible groups that could replace the syndicate.

Stone Herrera, the head of the agency, went on explaining. "We've been keeping an eye with different entertainment agencies for years now. Even the broadcasting corporations. Rexton was leading the group back then."

Ah, that was why dela Costa suddenly became a CEO of his mother side's entertainment company and resigned as the CEO of their malls few years ago. And that was also the time when he got his services to spy with WXE, but he got caught up with the TBS' misdeeds instead—when he became a whistle-blower. He also knew he planned to let Jinny do the job before, but it was halted since they didn't get enough informations, and they got more occupied with the syndicate.

Tama nga si Rexton noon na may nagaganap na prostitusyon sa WXE. At ngayo'y lumaki nang husto ang kabalbalan ng mga taong nasa likod niyon kaya malakas ang kutob nilang iyon ang isa sa mga kinuhang papalit sa Phantom, bukod pa sa ibang tatrabahuin ng ibang agents.

"We also tried to spy on them few months ago, but we failed to acquire more evidences," dagdag pa ni Rexton na hindi niya pinansin. He's more concerned about the sleepers.

"But, why do we need sleeper agents in this job?" He tried to sound not affected about the fact that Jinny was in the same room, critically listening to the briefing.

"They're going to do an important role in these missions. In our case, these two, Agent BL and Agent Jia, will infiltrate Wang Xi, disguised as some artists who want to change agencies," it was the lawyer who answered that.

Now he got it. They didn't have any other female agents in the show business industry aside from that famous vlogger, but couldn't take any jobs yet. Bumaling siya sa lawyer na pinaglalaruan ang hawak na ball-point pen.

"Is that why you're here as well?" he asked Atty. Sinned Hipolito.

"Of course. I'll be their lawyer."

"Why the heck would they need you? Makukulong—" He immediately stopped talking when he realized the reason why. To show Wang Xi's CEO that the two artists were serious about changing agencies. That they already had a lawyer who would defend them if ever Rexton dela Costa filed a lawsuit against the two members of Sunshine band. But of course, that's just a pretention. An undercover.

"They will easily take the bait because these two have the one of the most competitive lawyers in the nation," paliwanag pa ni Stone.

"I'll stay with them."

"You can't, Estacio," si Sinned ulit iyon. "Are you forgetting that you have a bad history with Luigi Torres?"

"Fuck. Why are you bringing up his name now?" Kinutuban siya.

"Basically, he's still the head of TBS, the sister company of Wang Xi, dude," si Rexton ang sumagot.

Shut up, you fucker! He wanted to yell at the person who turned Jinny to become a sleeper agent. But he wanted to be professional as possible. Baka mamaya'y kapag pinairal niya ang emosyon ay i-pull out siya sa misyong iyon. Hindi niya iyon hahayaang mangyari.

"So," it was Jinny. She really sounded different. "how are we going to make them agree? What if they won't believe us?"

"Do you have something in your mind?" balik-tanong lamang ni Stone.

"Well... I just thought we can use our bodies if we need to."

"I agree," segunda ni Bree. It's much easier, isn't it? Instant evidence na iyon."

Bago pa siya makapagsalita ay naunahan na siya ni Rexton.

"We're going to follow the plan. Don't ruin it." He sounded cold stating those words, glaring at Jinny. Gusto niyang dukutin ang mga mata nito dahil wala itong karapataang samaan ng tingin ang babaeng pakakasalan niya.

"Okay, fine! I just suggested it, but it doesn't mean we're going to push through it." Jinny crossed her arms and snubbed Rexton.

He's not used to her having that kind of attitude. Kung si Bree ang marinig at makitaan niya niyon ay okey lang. But that was Jinny we're talking about. She's the softest person he'd ever known...

Nagpatuloy sila sa briefing ng kaso at gagawin nila iyon sa makalawa.

Nang matapos ay nilapitan niya si Jinny. Nakalabas na ang lahat noon at natira na lang sa loob ay silang tatlo nina Bree.

"I'll bring you home now."

"No way! Baka mamaya patuwarin mo na naman ako sa billiards table o sa kung saan-saang mesa!" Nag-iwas ito ng tingin.

Nasamid naman si Bree sa iniinumang bottled water at hindi makapaniwalang lumingon kay Jinny.

"Kakikilala n'yo pa lang, nag-sex na kaagad kayo? Wow. Sex at first sight." She was a bit sarcastic when she commented that.

Even though he raged upon hearing Jinny said that aloud, he undoubtedly felt his cheeks got hot because he was flustered. He suddenly pictured what happened in his house earlier, and... Shit! Not now.

"Matagal na natin siyang kilala, hindi ba nga? He's my boyfriend," pagpapaalala ni Jinny.

"Hindi totoong wala kang naaalala..." sabad niya nang mapagtanto iyon.

"Duh, siyempre natatandaan ko ang tanang buhay ko."

"Then, why did you pretend as if you don't know me awhile ago?"

"Wala naman. Kasi ang sabi ni boss, huwag na huwag ihalo ang personal na buhay sa trabaho, bukod pa sa iyon ang iniutos niya sa akin. At saka hayaan mo na, hindi ko naman maaalala ang lahat ng ito pagkatapos ng misyon."

So she was aware about everything. But how did she change overnight? Not literally overnight, but, she wasn't like a tigress when she's speaking... Nevertheless, she's still lovely in his eyes.

Someone opened the door and it's Rexton, he went back inside. "Jia—" He cleared his throat. "—darling, you're going to stay in my place until this mission is over."

"Fuck! Why would she stay with you?"

"Bakit? Gusto mong sa iyo ba para masundan iyong sa billiards table?"

"Shut up, Jinny! It's about Luella!" This time, he shouted at her. He perfectly knew to never mix his personal life with the job but in this case, he could never do that fucking thing.

Kumibot-kibot ang labi nito pero kaagad ding nag-iwas ng tingin at dumiretso na kay Rexton, kumapit pa ito sa braso ng huli. Mabilis na tumalikod sa kaniya at iginiya naman ng gagong si Rexton sa paglabas doon. Bree stayed still with confusions in her face, while he had that look in him showing how mad and frustrated he was about the current situation.

"Aren't you going to miss Luella?" sambit niya na animo'y mapipigilan niyon ang pag-alis nito.

She turned around to face him but her expression was now emotionless. But she's still holding, almost hugging, on Rexton's arm tightly. Damn it!

He gritted his teeth and forced himself to fucking calm down though it seemed too impossible.

"Come with me, Agent Jia. You should stay with me." Only with me.

Bahagya nitong tiningala si Rexton na parang humihingi ng permiso kung papayag o hindi.

Nang tumango si Rexton ay roon pa lamang bumitiw si Jinny mula sa pagkakalingkis sa braso nito. Napamura siya nang masaksihan iyon. Kinakain siya ng matinding selos kahit alam niyang hindi naman dapat.

"Did you really have to ask him? Goddammit! You're killing me, woman."

Nanatili lang na malamig ang titig nito hanggang sa sinamaan siya ng tingin. "Iuwi mo na ako. Inaantok na ako't pagod na pagod na." Dahil nagtagal sila kaninang umaga ay inilipat ang pagpupulong ng alas tres ng hapon. Mag-a-alas sais na nang natapos sila.

He clenched his fists as his gazes followed her walked away.

"Putangina! Hindi ko na siya ibabalik dito!" nanggagalaiting bulalas niya kay Rexton.

"Gawin mo't masisira ang kasundudan natin, dude. Hindi na namin siya ibabalik sa dati at palagi namin siyang isasabak sa mga misyon."

Akmang susuntukin niya ito nang siya ang nasuntok bigla. Hindi ni Rexton, pero ni Bree.

Ngumisi lang si Rexton sa kaniya. "Have you forgotten? Our sleepers are very loyal to me. They always make sure that no one can, and will harm me."

"Fuck you, dela Costa. You're a devil."

For some reason, dela Costa was good at mind control or hypnosis, he's especially good at mind torture, too. Ito ang nangunguna sa pag-i-interrogate sa mga kriminal na nahuhuli nila nang hindi gumagamit ng dahas para mapakanta ang mga iyon. Ang ginagawa naman nito sa mga sleepers ay kakaiba. He's setting their minds to treat him as their leader, their boss. Na para sa kaniya'y isang malaking kagaguhan.

Dumaan siya sa gilid nito at binunggo nang malakas ang braso bago tuluyang lumabas sa silid. Nang makababa siya ay naabutan niyang inip na inip na si Jinny habang nakasandal sa gilid ng sasakyan, sa may front seat.

"Ang kupad mo."

He didn't respond because he didn't want to fight with her. Habang nagmamaneho ay nanatili siyang walang imik. Ayaw niyang kumibo dahil sa totoo lang ay pinakakalma pa rin niya ang kaniyang sarili, halo-halo ang nararamdaman niya pero mas nangingibabaw pa rin ang matinding pagnanasa niya sa babaeng napupusuan. Pagkuwa'y binuksan ni Jinny ang usapin tungkol sa misyon.

"Sa palagay mo ba ay binubugaw talaga ng Wang Xi ang talents nila? Lalo na iyong mga trainees?"

He didn't know. He didn't investigate that very well. Masyado siyang focused sa tax evasion at slavery sa employees ng TBS noon at hindi na pinakialaman ang Wang Xi. Tutal ay p-in-ull out na rin naman ni Rexton ang trabaho noong mga panahaong kinuha nito ang kaniyang serbisyo dahil na rin sa kakulangan ng ebidensya.

"Ah, I just thought about it, my boss said earlier that de l'Orage is an organized crime, right? What's that all about?"

"Why do you keep on calling him your boss? Just fucking call him by his name."

"Bakit? Ang sungit naman nito! Igu-Google ko na lang! Pahiram ng cellphone."

"Don't you have your phone?" Nakataas ang kilay na tanong niya.

"Wala. Hihiram ba ako kung mayroon?"

"Damn, baby, you don't usually talk that way..."

"Don't call me baby, Mister! I'm already half fifty and can already conceive babies. I'm not a fucking infant for you to call me baby."

Maang na napasulyap siya rito, saglit na natawa at nang tumahimik ay tumaas ang sulok ng kaniyang labi. "Oh, really? Then, I'll get you pregnant with my kids. We'll start tonig—"

"Sira ka ba?! Didn't I tell you I'm already tired?" Kahit naninigaw ay napansin niyang napalunok ito.

"Don't shout, Ji." So if she's not tired, she'd let him do her, right? That's how he comprehended her response. At ngayo'y alam na niya kung ano ang eksaktong pakakalmahin sa kaniya, kung anong parte ng katawan niya.

"Gago ka talaga, 'no?"

"I will let you sleep for a few hours, then, I'm going wake you up while I am already pounding you, or eating you." He's glancing at her while saying that. Napamura siya dahil hindi na niya makalma-kalma ang sarili. He'd suffer having a massive hard on while driving.

Pagkuwa'y humalakhak siya para hindi alalahanin iyon. Idadaan na lamang niya sa pang-iinis kay Jinny ang pagnanasang nadarama.

"The last time, you liked that so much..."

Marahas ito nagmura at walang sabing yumuko, hinuli ang gitna ng kanyang pantalon. Bahagyang gumewang ang sasakyan dahil nabigla siya sa ikinilos nito.

"Fuck, Jinny, what are you doing—" He moaned when she grabbed his hard on bulging on his pants.

"I'll give you a head now so you won't bother my peaceful sleep. Don't worry, hindi tayo magkakalat sa magara mong sasakyan."

"Shit! I'm driving!"

"Then, drive slowly! I will swallow, too!" pasigaw na utos nito at wala na siyang nagawa nang buksan nito ang zipper ng kaniyang pantalon at pinakawalan ang kaniya. She was grabbing on it tightly that it throbbed, as if it's looking forward to what'd she do.

"Baby... stop it... I'm driving..."

He didn't know if was he really telling her to stop or was he begging for her to go on. But his words turned into moans when she licked his tip, as his precum started to leak, too.

He drove slowly as she put his thing inside her moist and warm mouth, and gave him an amazing head.

"Fuck..." He tried focusing on the road as he's trying to control his cum. Napamura ulit siya at hindi na nakatiis dahil sa mabagal at tila nanunuksong pagsakop nito sa kaniya. Even her teasing tongue movements were making him lose his sanity.

Using his right hand, he grabbed her hair and guided her to move up and down—making her gagged with his hard flesh—as he was focusing on driving slowly, too.

He needed to climax soon or else, he would completely forget about driving and they might meet an accident. He'd fucking never allow that to happen.

"Shit, baby, keep on sucking..."

He guided her faster now, until his hard flesh was already pulsating and spurted his sticky fluids inside her wonderful mouth.

Fuck. While he's still catching his breath and driving slowly, he suddenly felt the way he did during their first time. Nagtagis ang bagang niya dahil naramdaman na naman niya ang galit sa sarili, at kinakain na siya ng matinding konsensya dahil sa mga ginawa niya kay Jinny ngayon.

If she's in her normal state, she would probably never allow those things to happen.

Nabura ang lahat ng nasa isipan niya nang hinihingal na sumandal si Jinny sa upuan nito. Bahagya siyang sumulyap at saktong lumunok ito. He felt he was growing hard again just by that sight. Seeing Jinny, his woman, swallowed and looking so sensual, turned him a lot.

"Fuck..."

"So this is how it feels..." she was like floating in the clouds when she uttered that.

Nangunot ang kaniyang noo. "What?" namamaos niyang tanong. "You're saying something?"

"H-ha?" Umiling ito. "Ay, nakalimutan ko palang isara ang pantalon mo. Wait lang."

He was scowling as she's zipping his pants. Then, she stared at him.

"Don't wake me up anymore, okay? I'm really tired."

"I can't promise..." wala sa sariling bulalas niya at binilisan ang pagmamaneho. Tutal ay malapit na sila sa exclusive village kung saan siya nakatira.

"Timang! Nakaraos ka na nga! Halos mabulunan ako sa rami nang inilabas mo, tapos hindi ka pa pala kontento?"

Nagtagis ang bagang niya. Though she's almost shouting, her voice was still making him feel turned on.

"I'm serious, Mister. I'm really tired and sleepy."

"But I am still horny..." Ngumisi siya. Hindi naman niya ipipilit ang sarili kung pagod na talaga ito.

"Then use your hands! Halinhinan mong gamitin nang makarami ka pa!"

Napapikit siya saglit at nagmulat din. "Damn it, baby... No matter what your personality is, you're still making me go crazy for you."

Saglit itong natigilan pero nakabawi rin. "Baliw ka lang talaga!"

"Only for you," nakangising dagdag niya't ilang sandali pa ay iniba niya ang usapan. "Get my phone. It's in my pocket."

In his peripheral vision, he noticed that she bit her lips as she glanced on his pants that already had a tent because of his hard on.

"Not this one. It's in my jacket."

Humalukipkip ito at hindi na siya kinibo hanggang sa magarahe na niya ang sasakyan.

Pagkapasok nila ay dumiretso ito sa banyo, pagkuwa'y lumabas itong nakahubad, tumutulo pa ang tubig sa makurba nitong katawan.

"Where's your other shampoo? Amoy-lalaki iyong nasa banyo m—" Natigilan ito sa gitna ng pagsasalita. Napakurap-kurap at nangunot ang noo nitong lumingon-lingon sa loob ng kaniyang silid. "Why does it feel so familiar...?"

Ngumisi siya. "Of course, you came here a lot of times. You also came lots of times."

Double meaning.

Hindi ito kumibo at bumalik sa loob ng banyo. Bigla ay nagtaka siya dahil hindi siya nito kinontra o binara man lang.

Matapos nitong maligo ay nakaligo na rin siya sa kabilang banyo. Ipinagluto niya ito ng canned corned beef na stock niya roon, at nagsaing na rin siya.

"Sorry, I forgot to buy foods."

"Eh, 'di sana nagpa-deliver na lang."

Natigilan siya. Oo nga naman. "Wait, I'll call—"

"Don't bother. Hindi naman ako maselan sa pagkain. Alam mo iyan."

Pumwesto ito sa mag gilid ng hapag-kainan, habang siya'y piniling maupo sa tapat nito matapos ihapag ang pagkain.

"I already searched for the Organized Crime meaning. Grabe pala sila, 'no? They engage in a myriad of criminal activities..."

He sighed. Nadoon na sila kaya hindi na siya maaaring umatras pa. At isa pa, hindi niya hahayaang mapahamak ito hindi lamang dahil sa mahal na mahal niya ang babae, kundi dahil sa ayaw niyang mawalan ng ina si Luella kung sakaling magka-aberya. He, of all people, exactly knew how awful and miserable that was. So he would fucking do the job to protect Jinny.

"...here—" sambit ni Jinny habang nakatingin sa kaniyang cellphone na ginamit nitong pang-browse sa Internet. Hindi niya gaanong nasundan ang mga sinabi nito pero nang marinig ang binasa nito ay nakuha niyang organized crime pa rin ang pinag-uusapan nila. "—passport fraud, access device fraud, identify theft, healthcare fraud, real estate fraud, insurance fraud, money laundering, drug trafficking, human smuggling, prostitution, and extortion." Pumalatak ito matapos basahin iyon. "Grabe, ang dami!"

"Yes. That's how evil those monsters are."

"The methods they use for converting its 'dirty' money into 'clean' assets encourages corruption," basa pa nito sa na-search online. "Organized crime groups need to hide the money's illegal origin—Oh!" she exclaimed in the middle of reading the informations loudly.

Bahagyang kumunot ang kaniyang noo nang magsalubong ang kanilang tingin. Sumubo muna ito ng kanin na may ulam, ngumuya, at nilunok iyon bago nagpatuloy sa pagsasalita. But he's focused on the side of her lips, there's was a grain of rice.

"It's exactly as Wang Xi's dirty works, and TBS'. Well, hindi naman lahat ng mga nabanggit, pero ganitong-ganito nga iyong ginagawa nila, 'no? I know we're still not hundred percent sure since we don't have any solid evidences yet. But, I can feel that they do illegal works! I remember how fishy they were when they tried to scout me to be a trainee when I was in my late teens..."

Tumango na lang siya. He had a hint why she's getting excited. It's giving her the thrill which was making her want to do the job more. He's certain about that because that's how he felt when he handled his first mission as L.A. in AIA before.

Hindi na siya nakatiis at pinunasan ang bibig nito gamit ang kaniyang hinlalaki.

"May dumi?" she asked, it's more of a statement.

He nodded and she uttered a soft thank you.

"Siya nga pala, wala akong toothbrush. May spare ka? Nag-mouthwash lang kasi ako kaninang nag-shower ako."

"Sa iyo 'yong isang toothbrush na nasa lababo," pagpapaalala niya.

"Ah, oo," sambit lang nito at nag-iwas ng tingin.

Nag-iba na ang kanilang usapan, at isang oras pa ang nakalipas ay hinayaan na niya itong makatulog ng mahimbing sa kaniyang silid. Siya'y nanatili sa kabila dahil ayaw niyang istorbohin ang pagtulog nito. She said she was tired already and even if he wanted more of her, he respected her.

Bukas na lang.
