His Elusive Antidote (English) Fifty Eight
“Shut your mouth, Cater,” Dad’s voice is different, like he is mad or something. Why are they here? I grab my recorder and turn it on; I’m sure I can get some information from them. I don’t know what it is yet, but the fact that the three of them are here might as well get some information. “Whatever,” he said, and pulled out a thick paper from his bag. “This is the list, their addresses, and their parents. Most of them are runaways, some of them are orphans, so we won’t be having any problem. I have them gathered at the warehouse; the auction will begin tomorrow midnight,” he said. I’m confused right now. What are they talking about, an auction of what? Is that an illegal auction? Auction of what? Stolen things? Nah, that would be too cheap or might be low class. It must be something that you can’t just buy outside like the usual. What are they selling? Guns? “My son,” Dad said, “You never fail to make me proud. You really know how to do your job fast and clean. Is this all set?”

Zander is quiet in the afternoon, he’s not losing his temper anymore, but he’s also not speaking. He looks completely different from before, more intimidating, because you don’t know what he wants to do, you don’t know if he has a plan. Damn it, I can’t do anything, my handsome looks are wasted now, Kris is handsome, nothing I can do now, sad. He’s been like this for three days, I’ve been watching him, maybe later he’ll start dancing, or watching K-pop, maybe he’ll start dancing to Twice or Blackpink. He’s always in his condo, he doesn’t go out. From what I’ve seen, when someone acts like that, it’s a sign that they’re about to go crazy. Is Zander going crazy? Where could the pregnant one be? Damn it! I’m full of questions, stress makes you ugly, I’ll just leave it to Zander, I know he’ll figure it out, we just have to stand by for what he wants us to do. “Zander, it’s impossible that he said that on the other side.” Cain keeps insisting that his brother did it, he’s our prime susp

“Shit!” We all looked at each other when we saw that Alpha wasn’t at headquarters, even Kris, who is always cool, suddenly became anxious. Alpha instructed us to call for backup to plan what we would do to properly rescue Elara from those who took her, but we didn’t know that this was what he had in mind. “That son of a bitch is really stupid! His head is really hard!” Kris said in frustration and couldn’t help but throw what was on the table next to him. Even I am annoyed now, we know he can handle it, but going there without any backup is just plain bullshit! He’s risking his life with what he’s doing. “What the fuck is he doing?” Larry said. There are five of us here, he is the head of class B, they are the ones we often call for backup whenever we need them, especially when our mission is in trouble. “We have to stay calm,” I intervened with them, there’s nothing we can do even if we get angry because Alpha has already left. “We need to track him down before it gets too late.”

Twelve years ago… “Papa, when are we moving?” I asked my dad as I watched him pack the things he would bring later. He said he would earn from his friend’s wife who worked abroad because she had something for him, that it was a way to save money compared to sending it by ship, as it was faster to come home. There were toys, soap, lotion, some thick blankets, curtains, and some perfume, and chocolates, we were also given some, they’re in the fridge, mom said every noon after eating, we can ask for some, I’m not really into sweets but I still like it, because it’s delicious. We used to do that too, Papa sent a gift for me and Jepjep for Christmas, we got a nice one before, Papa gave me a white teddy bear with a talking one inside, Papa promised me he’d buy me a bigger teddy bear, taller than me, but until now, there’s none yet. It’s okay, I still love Papa, Mama said he’s just busy with his work so I have something to bring to school, and I know that, I’m a grown-up girl already, I

“How could you do that to Papa?” I could barely recognize my own voice, filled with pain in my heart, as I remembered the last time I was with Papa. “You son of a b*tch, how could you kill him?” I looked at her, tears streaming down my face, “He trusted you, he considered you a brother.” “Elara.” She called me, I heard her deep sigh, “I did everything to avoid ending up like Ben, he found out I was part of the biggest drug export in Macau at that time, I tried to keep it from him, because I didn’t want our friendship to be ruined, or for him to be harmed,” I didn’t know if she was faking her face. “But you killed him, you did that to him, you have the nerve to say he’s important to you and you consider him a friend.” “You’re still young, Elara.” She said, “There are many things you don’t understand yet, I can’t go to jail, I have a husband, and a child, a stable income,” reluctantly I looked at her clenched fist, before she put it in her pocket, “I can’t let your father ruin everyt

“Why am I still here? It’s embarrassing, Jaxon!” I really don’t want to, I’m embarrassed with his friends, and I don’t like those kinds of gatherings, I’m embarrassed. “Love, why is it embarrassing there? Are you ashamed of me?” I looked at him, what’s with this crazy guy, he’s being dramatic again. “What are you talking about?” I started to organize my research, just proofreading, because this is for our finals, so it should be neat, after this, I’ll have it bound. “Come on, love, please. I just want to introduce you to my friends,” I felt his embrace from behind, “I’m that proud to have you, I want to tell people how lucky I am that I got you here, I can hug you, I can kiss you, I can plan my future with you.” I couldn’t answer because of what he said, he sounded very dreamy, so I just shrugged, he was always like that, so futuristic. “Okay.” I replied out of nowhere, my eyes widened when he suddenly pulled me to face him, “What the fvck?” “Okay? You mean you’ll come?” he aske

E L A R A “Hey, Adri! Stop bothering me, I’m really annoyed right now.” I failed our anatomy quiz earlier, which was frustrating because it was difficult, and I’m not good at memorizing yet, which is annoying, especially since it’s a major subject for me. “Don’t be so dramatic, and besides, this is my farewell. You know I won’t be graduating here, right? Dad needs me.” I paused in my annoyance when I heard that. “What?! Why are you telling me this now?” It’s only now that I found out, and I wondered why she suddenly invited me when she’s actually leaving me. “That’s why let’s go! Come with me! We don’t have class anyway!” I took out my phone to check the date. “I can’t, it’s mine and Jaxon’s anniversary today. You said you’d help me surprise him, remember?” This girl, she loves promising to help, then forgets. “Oh, right!” I said, remembering, she forgot again. “Let’s go then, let’s buy what we need. Where should we set up?” “Jaxon has class until 7:30 pm, let’s just do it at h

Z A N D E R J A X O N “Zander, you have a mission.” I nod in response as Alpha handed me a brown envelope. “It will take place in Calderon.” It’s a far place; it will take at least a year for me to finish this one. “This guy has direct contact with the guy we have been looking for.” I took a glance at the paper I was holding, containing the information, from basic up to the smallest details that we could have to help us execute the mission. “You have to leave the country three months before you go with the plan.” I halted at what Alpha said. “He has direct contact with that person, meaning he has wealth and connections. Anyone who’s involved with you, if ever they manage to track you down, will be in deep danger,” he looked at me knowingly, “You know what I’m saying, Zander. I just want everyone around you to be safe.” “To cut them from my life without really telling them why.” I can’t imagine cutting them off from my life, especially her. “I just want the best for you.

The salty sea breeze swept through the streets of Seaview, carrying with it the promise of another beautiful day along the coast. Emily stood outside her seaside café, surveying the damage left behind by the storm that had battered the town the night before. The wooden sign above the entrance creaked in the wind, its paint chipped and faded, a testament to the café's long history.As Emily assessed the extent of the damage, she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by the task ahead. Tables and chairs lay scattered across the sand, while shards of broken glass littered the floor of the café's outdoor seating area. The awning had been torn off its hinges, leaving the once-cozy space exposed to the elements.Just as Emily was about to roll up her sleeves and get to work, she heard footsteps approaching from behind.

Catherine stumbled into the condo, her vision blurred from the tears that streamed down her face. Sin stood in front of her, his expression unreadable. Outside, the rain poured down in a relentless torrent, the sound of it drumming against the windows like a thousand tiny fingers. The sky was a dark, brooding mass of clouds, obscuring the moon and stars from view. The air was thick with moisture, the humidity making it feel like a sauna. The condo was a small, cozy space, with soft, dim lighting that cast a warm glow over the room. The walls were painted a soothing shade of blue, adorned with framed photographs of happier times. A plush couch sat in the center of the living room, facing a small television set. The floor was covered with a plush rug, soft underfoot.“Please, Catherine, you need to leave,” Sin pleaded, his voice tinged with frustration.Catherine shook her head, her voice trembling. “No, not until you tell me why.

But just as he reached for the doorknob, his mother’s voice echoed through the hallway.“Sin! Can you come here for a moment?”He froze, knowing that tone all too well. With a resigned sigh, he turned around and headed towards the living room where his mother and brothers were gathered. As he entered the room, he saw Catherine, his ten-year-old sister, sitting on the floor surrounded by coloring books and crayons.“What’s up?” Sin asked, trying to sound casual.“We’re having a bonding moment with Cath,” his mother said, gesturing towards the coloring materials. “We thought it would be nice for you to join us.”Sin glanced at Catherine, who looked up at him with big, hopeful eyes.
