"May I know the reason behind your decision to sell your car?" Johny looked at Elena with his eyes full of concern. Elena stopped munching her dinner meal and sipped her chocolate shake to clear her throat. "I need to pay for my tuition fees and my mom's expenses, Boss!" Johny inhaled. "Just call me by my name." He stirred his cappuccino and the way he moved the spoon, Elena knew that man was thinking."When will you start doing the assignment so?" Elena gulped. "As soon as I finish gathering any information about Fred Tiger." She wiped her lips with a serviette. "He seems enjoying some outdoor activities like rowing, rock climbing and hiking. I consider to choose that way as approach methods to him." Johny sighed and sipped his coffee. "I'll send you Angelo to join with you." Elena stared at him while she munched her last bite of a beef burger. "I'll send you sixty percent of your salary for this assignment. I hope you can find another car to make your day easier. Angelo will t
"I can't swim..." Elena confessed and turned down her eyes to her lap. She bit her lower lip. Angelo squeezed his eyes. He seemed not believe his ears with what the girl just said. 'She looks tough but can't swim?' Angelo was laughing inside as he skimmed of her for a moment. "Okay." He beamed after clearing his throat. There was a shadow of pause in a short moment. "I heard this guy loves to do some outdoor activities. So, are you going to follow one of his outdoor activities?" Elena sighed. "He's going to go rowing this weekend." Angelo jiggled his head. "Tell me what you have learned about this guy, Fred Tiger--" He took a short look at Elena who seemed to be uneasy. "Hey, relax. We are going to be a team. We should support each other." Angelo tapped his fingers on the steer, his other hand reached for the car audio and he switched the music into some blues as Elena assumed. "You like it?" Elena shrugged. "I am not into music so much, but some jazz I probably listen before
“Elena kept moving. Don’t get panicked and grab something. Pull over, Elena!” She heard Angelo’s voice to give some directions. The life jacket she wearing made her floating her up from the current. Elena found her sight getting distorted. The water streams hit her face hard as she tried to emerge her head up on the surface. “There’s something entangled my left ankle!” She turned her head to Angelo and kept trying to pull her head up from the surface to get oxygen. She began blurping. Suddenly, Elena felt something was bumping her head. Hitting her hard although a helmet protected her, that bump dragged her within the water streams. She saw a big trunk passing her and she tried to grab it. The water streamed harder, bent over between the rocky river and the streams drifted her within. Elena was pushed into currents and dragged her to hit a boulder. Leaving everything looked black in her vision and she felt numb as she fainted. Angelo dived into the water and approached
Elena followed the direction that Angelo told her. It was nine o’ clock compass direction and it pointed at another young woman. “Who’s she?” Elena pulled the bridge of her glasses down from her nose. Angelo sighed. “Iréne’s right hand!” Elena bowed her eyebrows. “What’s she doing?” She hissed at Angelo. Angelo bit his finger to cover his mouth while he was speaking. “To arrange the meetings between Iréne Belle and Fred Tiger. They should avoid public’s attention on their…you know!” He sniffed. “I smell another agenda!” He obscurely looked at the blonde girl passing them with the man from the café through his side eye. Angelo asked for the waitress their bills and gave a normal amount for tips. “What’re we doing next?” Elena almost wiped off her artificial moustache but Angelo asked her not to do it. She shrugged and looked at Angelo who keeping an eye on the street. “Waiting. I want to know what’s business they are dealing with that blonde chic. You know her, don’t y
Elena sighed but her ears could catch a gasp coming out from Angelo’s lips as he pressed the button to open the door of his red sport car for her. He took a glimpse of her who checking her long white earrings where she inserted the tiny speakers into. “Selena…” he paused and called Elena with her operation name. “I’ll be around you but promise you, you won’t notice me…it’ll be easier for you to work!” He wiped his nose while his other hand was still on the steer. Elena gave him a quick nod and grabbed a silver colored leathered with some metal ornamented purse. “If everything bad happens... everything… just bump your chest area three times where Val attached the mics…” Angelo added his final instruction as Elena was ready to get off from the car. “Good luck…” he put two fingers on his forehead and swayed it as a sign of readiness for working. Elena drew a long inhale and walked into the room where the music from DJ had welcomed her. She tried to walk with a natural swaying an
Duncan heavily glanced at Elena who was walking next to him. “Are you waiting for some friends in this party?” Elena turned her head down, just a few seconds then she landed her eyes on Duncan’s face. “I am representative of a company...you know…” she paused and shrugged. “This resort is a prospective place…my company provide such kind of service, how about you?” The man curled his nose as he looked quite excited. “Good!” only that such kind of words he gave as a retort. They had returned to the room and the music had changed the rhythm. They came to the room with table serving some pastry and snacks. “So, are you waiting for some colleagues?” Elena asked him before biting a chunk of tuna cocktail sandwich with some tropical fruits. Duncan smirked and stopped eating his pastry on the plate he brought. Elena directed her eyes to the corner where Duncan was gazing at. She nearly ran out of air as her eyes caught who those people were. ‘Martinez and the young man who calle
“Honey, look who is with me?” a female voice interrupted inside the room. Elena had attached a small device, functioned as speaker on the wall, nobody heard the conversation inside the room only her since the equipment was connected to some electric devices on her earrings. The device was magnificent sophisticated in listening conversation although it was happening behind the wall, but also separated room. One of her hands was covering that device and she could grab it easily since its cost wonderfully expensive as she decided to leave the room after finishing to record those people’s conversation inside Fred Tiger’s room secretly. ‘It must be Irène…’ Elena took a sip of her drink before putting it back to the waitress’s tray. She saw people was gathering but she chose to stand around the access facility, making her easier to leave the room whenever it was urgent. Elena sighed. She heard Angelo speaking from the other side of the room through the device in her earrings. “Clear.
The car entered the road remotely reside from office hours crowded but some houses with the touches of modern family ranched neighborhood along the road welcomed them. The green grassland with spacious landscape where some horses were grassing to and running wildly gave them the air of rural modern living. The big shady trees were growing on the one side of the road. The red horizons had colored the sky as the lamp streets started lite up. Elena gazed the scenery through the car’s window. Angelo stopped the car in the front of a place with deco painting and it had spacious entrance, there were palm trees and the flowers garden. Elena entered the place with Angelo walking next to her. They saw Johnny Sly was waiting for them. He was wearing a casual outfits with a Hawaiian motif shirt. “Welcome Elena, Angelo…” Johnny rose from his seat and signed them to take a seat. They were at the open air terrace. All the furniture were painted in deco. A mid aged woman dressed in a ma
