Fox

May that woman respectfully go to hell.

I slammed my fist on the wheel as we drove away. It was damn hard to lose the cars following us but after an hour of sweating and trying hard, we finally got away. They were persistent as fuck, living up to their reputation of being the most infamous mafia around here. But the hell I care, as long as I get these two back—and I only got one!

"Why the hell did she not want to go with us?!"

I've been screaming the same question over and over again because I can't seem to understand why she let us take only Jaguar. Speaking of, I glanced at the rearview mirror to check his state.

"Is he gonna live, bro?"

"He will. Don't worry," one of the agents trained in paramedics replied calmly. He was so busy wrapping bandages all over Jaguar that I almost mistook him for a mummy.

"Can someone confirm if Leo's at her registered apartment?"

I asked again, hoping to seek refuge in her place. Leo has been quiet about Jaguar's issue. The time I needed her the m

    Fox"What loose ends do you mean?" Leo walked farther away from the others and I followed. This was not the first secret side mission that the Director had given us. Who knows, maybe Jaguar was also on a secret side-mission too so he let himself be captured. At this point, I don't even know. She spoke after sighing, "The Director had to make sure Hawk is not making allies outside of the FBI. He's grown wary for some reason, and thus, here I am checking if she's made connections in the Agnello mafia." "Why is she not allowed to make allies outside the FBI?" I curiously pried. "Because those allies are not to be trusted, Fox. They can betray you anytime and if Hawk depends on them too much, it will also endanger the mission." I turned quietly to ponder over what she said. It sounded correct but at the same time incorrect.Why would Leo think Hawk would depend on people she just met over us, the FBI, who's been with her since day one? And why do they immediately assume she'll be bet

    Fallon"What? Natalia's awake?" My eyes widened. Linda just came in bearing the big news and I was dumbfounded and didn't know how to react. Sure... It's good she's awake, but won't she come back to looking for Jaguar and Fox? I'm afraid they still haven't left LA yet... but Natalia's still injured! Right! She still needs to rest and that'll take a few days, right?I convinced myself as I showered and got ready for the day. Ellie and Rory informed me yesterday that they'd check up on me after hearing what happened at the mansion yesterday. I don't mind having the wives around, but they will bring their husbands for sure, and I can already see that the mansion's not gonna be quiet anytime today.As I left the room and made my way to the infirmary where Natalia's resting, I passed by the garden and caught a glimpse of the blooming Monkshood flowers. My eyes stayed on the flowers for a hot minute. When is the right time to use them? I shouldn't do it when Jett is present else he'll be ex

    FoxWe let two days of hiding pass before we decided to fly back. Hawk didn't want to voluntarily run away. She said so in the cryptic message she sent the other day. When I first read it, I was infuriated.Why? Why did she have to go this far and commit to this mission when she could always fail this one and just try again in another mission instead of dying on this one? She's wasting the opportunities and throwing her life away!Then after pondering for a few hours, I realized it was her honor and pride in the country that was keeping her motivated. Hawk is a very devoted and loyal agent. She's all for the country's good future. So it's not a surprise she wants to finish this. But is it all worth it? Is Director Morris' approval and praiseworthy of risking your life? Or does she have another purpose? —I returned to Manhattan with a heavy heart. I could sigh in relief because I brought back what was taken from us—Jaguar—but saddened at the same time because one of us was left beh

    Fox"He meant Natalia can go around and do whatever, right? Should I get rid of Natalia myself? She'll be a big threat to us once she recovers." I asked Leo as soon as we left the Director's office. We walked—well, I wheeled—side by side in silence, both deep in thought.I saw her shrug and continue walking."Go do whatever you want. Either tell her the Director instructed you to leave her or sneak back into the mansion yourself. But remember, Hawk sent us away." The question is, we don't know Hawk's plans. Even if we tell her, there's no telling if she'll obey it especially if it's against her prior plans. I sighed."Do we just leave her alone? We put her in a difficult position many times and almost compromised her. Isn't it just right we help her this time?""Our help was more than enough. She can do the rest herself."I turned my curious gaze to her. "You're sounding a bit cold and harsh lately, Leo. What's gotten into you?"Leo stopped in her tracks. In the middle of the empty h

    FallonTwo days after the uproar the ruction inside is still yet to die down. I could see everyone still agitated and on their guard. I quietly sighed and entered Noire's room. Noire and Niamh were out on the mall the day of the bombs and gunfire. I sighed in relief when I heard that the other day. Good, or else the kid will be traumatized for life."Auntie Fallon!" The five-year-old squealed when she turned to me while playing with her toy... is that a grenade? My eyes widened and I hastily inspected the toy."Why are you playing with these kinds of toys, Noire?" I calmly asked the kid. Is this a coincidence?"Daddy gave toys... Are toys bad? Auntie Fallon?" She innocently replied, pouting at the toy hand grenades. I sighed. Ross, that asshole. Sometimes he's a good dad but at these times... I don't even know what to call him."Toys are great but not toys like these that are dangerous in real life," I explained. She should know this at a young age to be aware. She can't be growing up

    FallonI've been sleeping alone in the wide bed for days.My 'husband' has been more neglectful than before and more focused on his work.I've tried visiting him a couple of times but I would leave immediately because of his unwelcoming ambience. Like I was a walking distraction that was consistently hindering him from his work. Until I've grown annoyed and just stayed at home.That dick. One day he's sweet as a honey bee and the next he's cruelly cold as dew to drooping leaves. Today, I continue spending time with Noire.I heard he's home today but still caved in his office. Sighing, I lazily left my room and headed to Noire's. I'd rather play with the kid than overthink the possible reasons why he's suddenly burying himself in paperwork. Is it something related to his talk with Chris Agnello? It's likely that he changed and became distant after that day.I know something's up. But it's so difficult to find out what.As I ambled the hallways on my way to Noire's room, I came across h

    FallonThey talked about nonsense, something I never thought Jett would waste time on especially right now. He acted like he was at his busiest yet this is what I hear the moment I listen in on them. I rolled my eyes. Boys."Let's get back to the topic, Jett. Stop distracting me, man," Ross complained. I heard shuffling and a few papers being checked."Why is he still asking us for those things, anyway? Didn't we repay him a long time ago?"A heavy exhale. Then Jett replied, "He saved my mother's life before, Ross. No amount of money can repay that, which is why I owe him a favor. He's using that favor now.""Damn," cursed Ross."You should've said that from the start so I know you didn't have a choice... Still, he's asking too much."So, this client of theirs must be running for a spot in the government in the elections and he's used a favor to ask Jett to ensure 600,000 votes in Las Vegas? A politician is connected to an underground mafia. Not unheard of, but it is a serious matter.

    Fallon"Yes, I'm familiar with this." Carter extracted the tracker from my ring and put the small square object under a magnifying glass. He then connected it to his computer and typed more unfamiliar things on the screen."It's the common GPS tracker but more precise and made to fit small objects like your ring. This was probably customized and accessed easily on a phone app.""I see... If I bring you another ring similar to this, can you tell if we have the same tracker?"He nodded. "Of course.""Alright." He handed the ring back to me after putting back the tracker. "Thank you, Carter."I smiled politely and tried dismissing his curious gaze, but he probably couldn't hold it back because as I left for the door; he asked, "Does the master keep track of where you go like this, therefore you also want to keep track of where he goes?"Curious, curious man. I'd like it if he just quietly obeys what I say, but of course, curiosity is part of human nature. It's inevitable for someone to a

    “One hundred! One hundred going once…” The auctioneer’s voice echoed inside the art studio, but it was slowly zoning out from a young man’s ears as he stared intently at the painting getting auctioned. “Going twice… No more? And…sold! Item 34 sold to Number 456 for 100,000 dollars!”Sebastian never imagined himself in an auction, better yet coming home with a bought item. He smiled and sat through the rest anyway, keeping his number on his lap. He’ll only auction for that one painting since all he needs is the experience for their next big assignment.After the auction, he went to the cashier to pay for the item and he was guided backstage to claim it. He thanked the cashier curtly, maintaining as minimal eye contact as possible, and pulling his black fedora hat lower as he picked up his item.It was an original painting by an international artist. It was half his size and had a simple but deep drawing. Sebastian sighed and left the auditorium with the painting. This can be his birthd

    Warning: mature content.On a private island in Jett’s homeland in Madrid, lived a small family of three. It was a secluded island with only one mansion of marble and glass standing by the beach.From its lounge, a woman sat with crossed legs and a warm cup of coffee on her lap, watching the rising sun from the horizon of the sea. Her pin-straight black hair draped over her shoulders as her freshly returned bangs gently swayed over her forehead, inhaling the sweet morning dew. Her satin robe slipped and showed her smooth legs as she crossed her legs, letting the cold air seep into her nakedness under the robe. She paid it no mind and continued to appreciate the serenity the new dawn offered.Ah, this is the best retirement life she could’ve ever asked for, the woman thought.After years of constantly glancing over her shoulder, keeping her guard up, and longing for someone, finally, it’s all over. To live a life of languid and slow-living. To live without any reservations and … to ha

    “…Therefore, the judge’s verdict shall be…”Warren Mongarde, who was once a mighty powerful man in a suit, looked as if he aged so much after a few weeks in trial. Cuffed and unshaved for days, he looked forlorn and misunderstood, to appeal to the jury.But it was all for naught when he heard it.“Guilty.”And the judge slammed his gavel decisively.Guilty. Such a small word for such a big thing.He knew his life would change drastically from here on out. It was inevitable. But for his age, he’d say he’s achieved enough. He’s already been the President of the US; is there anything more he can achieve to top that?So he laughed. He laughed loudly, his voice resonating in the court. All eyes were on him, but he continued to laugh. Their once dignified President now looked like a crazed serial killer who had just been sentenced to a life sentence.He doesn’t care anymore.Maybe, if he was given the chance to exact revenge…but he’s too old for that. He’s past his prime. He can’t even prop

    FallonI was on the stairs of the jet when they pointed a gun at us. When I turned, I saw a Jaguar with a gun. Behind him were Leo, Rhino, and Panda. They all wore serious faces. I involuntarily gulped.From in front of the airport, I heard the cops’ sirens and sounds of shots being fired. Matt must be shooting them down as we speak.I put Sebby down and whispered, “Go inside.”“But Mama…”“Go.” I cut him off. “Mama will follow, I promise.”Sebby hesitantly entered the jet. Jett, who was also in the process of climbing, stared at Sebby with quiet reassurance. Once he was inside, I pulled out my gun. The pistol is in the hidden compartment with the silencer. I can’t believe my last use of this would be towards my colleagues. I roamed around the hangar and found one of its CCTVs.Jaguar found out what I was looking at and said, “It’ll only be hijacked for one minute more. We took too long.”“I see,” I said and locked eyes with all of them. My arm holding the gun was trembling. Everyone

    FallonI watched Jett stagger backward and cough up blood.The man laughed, a mocking laughter. It irked me. Subconsciously, I was in the air and my feet connected to the side of Rhino’s head. My body twisted and delivered a clean flying kick to his head. It was over before I knew it, and the six-foot-tall giant was already clutching his head and groggy. I didn’t mean to attack one of them like that…but after I saw Jett and heard the man’s derisive laugh, I guess I lost it. “That’s all you got?”I heard a sneer from behind. Realizing what I’d done, I sent an apologetic gaze to Rhino who was still dazed and visibly disoriented. “Looks like you’ve lost your touch.”“Why don’t you come at me, then?”The man chuckled and walked toward us, provoked.“Fine.”I backed away, giving them space to fight. Jett was only barely taller than him, and the man was more buff. Jett was in his stance. The latter was standing upright, relaxed.I thought he’d go on the defense, but after Jett’s first pun
