Waves: A Little Mistaken Fate

Chapter 29: Ten, down to five

As ten men who had a dangerous energy, which can be observed from them, walked in, accompanied by another man who was in a red suit, blonde and also had a golden monocle worn on his right eye. He came forward to the trio that were sitting down and announced to them, “your men, dear sirs, are here.”

The trio looked up before them and subconsciously, sir Eric and Eugene both nodded in harmony on the great choice of men that were selected for them. Letting out a chuckle on how pleased his customers were, he replied to the blonde, saying, “please Antonio, you have the pleasures to list out the necessary noticeable details about our capable males.”

“Yes, crippled one. If you may excuse me dear guests as I do the honours. Due to some special policy and conditions, these men don’t go by their real names but in codes instead. Then, if I may proceed, AE7!” Antonio calls out and a guy of about 5ft7 walks out from the group. Despite his size, his rough manly build, a long stubble and a long black hair, of course not missing out, he did look handsome.

“Here is AE7, our best sniper and the military edition M200 being his sniper rifle of specialty. On 31 hired missions, 43 deaths, including things that lead to the change of positions in the fight for the seats of power in the world of politics. Next, G55......” a chubby tall man who was bald and have a red beard, who seems to be in his forties stood out rubbing his fists together gently with a stern face. “.......... A codename with a meaning, Guillotine, 55 deaths, done by his large hairy hands. Your favourite man for large machine guns and shotguns. Our next treasure, your skinny jeans guy, B. Bones, our only man with no numbers with no assigned number.”

A skinny guy in saggy combat green trousers and dirty long singlet with lots of tattoos all over him. A tortilla brown hair in a low cut hairstyle and bushy shaved hipster. His eyes were filled with tiredness as his two corneas were deep red. The introducer continued as he feels that the trio seated have had a satisfactory observation of him, “ your guy when it comes to close and sneaky assassinations. He is new to our collection as we got a hold of him when he got arrested by the cops. He was involved in an all out war between three minor gangs and he is responsible for 39 deaths of his rival gangs, so, of course, we see him as a great investment.

“Again, we have the next one, 113. He goes by the numbers of course since that was his choice, so we didn’t bother and let him carry on with being called 113.” Then the announcer pointed at 113 who was cladded in long black leather jacket that was all buttoned up and on his face was a custom made gas mask. “Say hello to our lethal and tactical weapons user, specialising in any devices that can cause any mass damage, since he finds it an amazing way to shorten the lifespan of long wars and conflicts. Not to forget, he is also an ex research lab scientist for a military department group. Next, we have the group’s psychopath, 3E’s.....” a girl shows up and was clothed in a bike suit with a tattered double bun hair and a fish bone tattoo on her neck. She had a pale and delicate but rough skin but she stood out from the rest with a specific feature on her appearance, which was, despite having a cute face, she had on a chained mouth mask that disallowed her to speak.

“She is our best frontier and really good with expressing her passion for her job. Also, take notice, she has a convincing mouth or you can just simply say that she is manipulative with her words, as well as having a vulgar tongue. Then to the nex..........”

“Let us hold it there.” Eugene interfered with Antonio’s introduction which attracted the people’s attention before he went on with what he had to say, “I believe that these five are already an amazing team and can as much carry out the work that needs to be carried out, properly. In short, I am satisfied with the already introduced fives, you can now send in the rest, for I am not going to fight against a big corporation or something but just a city gang. Now, I am more than ready to talk about the prizes and arrangements with them and as well, a lot of things.”

“Alright young sir, if it is okay with the elders, I’ll be more than happy to carry out your request and once again, appreciate you for choosing this very firm’s services and assistance.” Said Antonio as he turns to the other fives and signals them about taking their leaves. The four then watched the unpicked men leave the room with the attendant. Antonio then turns again to the trio with a smile and then spoke up, saying, “now, as for the price.........”

.............[In Eugene’s home.].............

It was already late at night and Eugene could be seen in the kitchen making a meal. Humming to a song he is singing in his head while his head was nodding all around like a wall gecko until the door that leads into the house bangs open with a yell coming out through it, “Eugene!!!!”

Eugene turns around to know who was yelling out his name, only to find out that it was his mom and then, he took a huge gulp before answering, “yeah mom! Any problem?”

“Uhmmmm, not really, how about a damn yeah! Boy! Why weren’t you in school today? Huh? Mr. Eugene, can you explain?” Eugene’s mum questions him with an angered face.

“Uhmm........... Mom, about that, I just wasn’t feeling too well.”

“That you didn’t even cross the school gate or call your homeroom teacher and request for a sick leave? Even so, you were sick and you still left the house and didn’t even mind to call me up to stay back at home nor did you come back when I was still around to make me aware. After all, I now smell something fishy, as you were gone, I was also looking for sir Eric and he was nowhere to be found. As a matter of fact, where is he at? Sir Eric!!!!!” Eugene’s mom scolded and yelled again.

“Yes madam?” sir Eric answered as he hurried to where she was and then answered once more, “you called , madam.”

“Give me the report of both you and my son’s activities today.” Eugene’s mom ordered.

“Uhm Uhm, mom! I made your favourite today.” Eugene tries to change the whole topic with an attempt of tempting his mom with her favourite dish.

“Oh, how nice of you darling, serve me the meal while sir Eric here gives me the report.” Eugene’s mom suggests.

“Uhmm, but mom.....”

“No buts, it’s an order from me, do carry it out child.” Eugene’s mom ordered once again.

“As she was having her meal, she paid attention to sir Eric’s whole narration and when he was done, she slowly dropped her fork on her plate, swallowed the food that was in her mouth, cleared her throat and spoke up her mind, saying, “I’m joining too.”

“Uhm, madam, that is a bit difficult as you need to consider your own safety.” Sir Eric suggests.

“Oh, is that so? Then I won’t go........... Is that what you think I would say? Hell no, it’s not even safe for my son or for those kids that will be present that day. No one is stopping and I am clear about it. Now, you two give me some space and time for me to devise a plan that will make it safe for all of us and make sure that we suffer the most minimum casualty possible.” Said Eugene’s mom as she went up to her room leaving the duo, Eugene and sir Eric, dumbfounded.
