Chapter 126 - The Third Mission(1)

In the morning, at 8.00 a.m, all of the Hunters come down to the dining hall for breakfast.

Chellyne turned her head to someone who was walking behind her at the stairs. He is Terence and he looked a bit miserable.

Chellyne stops where she is standing and she looks at Terence.

Terence turned his attention to Chellyne. With a weak smile, he said, "Good morning Chellyne!"

"Good morning!" replied Chellyne.

Terence then walked again to the kitchen. Chellyne just looked at him with a complicated face. She was wondering if she should tell about Dale and Dee's situation but she was afraid that Terence might get hurt.

But why does she have to be worried?

She has nothing to do with Terence. She is no one but just a teammate to Terence.

Chellyne sighed. Damn, what should I choose to do then?

Chellyne didn't want to think anymore as she walked to the dining hall. Her stomach was already growling because of hunger.

At the table, Chellyne sat down beside Becky. "Morning, Becky!" greeted Chellyne to Becky.

"Morning…"

Becky took an apple from the basket and she bit it. Secretly, she looked at Rivera who was sitting next to Gwend.

Becky saw Rivera secretly glance toward Lyeon. She did like our Captain… Shall I tell Lyeon that Rivera likes him, so that Lyeon could let me go and give his attention to Rivera instead?

Becky sighed. I'm too lazy to think about this..

Becky turned around and she saw Greyson also secretly look at Rivera. Oh, this is fun to watch. Greyson likes Rivera but Rivera likes other man…

Becky recalled again when it was their first mission, which is Rivera and the others came back from the mission in drunk condition.

Greyson wants to help Rivera but he immediately stops his intention when there are other man helping Rivera.

Becky smiles in amus.e.m.e.nt. She then turned her attention to somewhere else. Nahh, let them settle this themselves… I don't want to get involved…

After breakfast, everyone gathered at the operation room to do their next mission.

"We will try to find Ariana and Matthew from time to time. As for now, we need to watch out for Andy and the other vampires…"

".... As for today, we will try to locate where they lived. The other group would search for a specific place where the vampires always gathered."

Ah Chiong then lifted up his right hand to the air. Lyeon who was talking in front turned his gaze to Ah Chiong. "Yes, Chiong? What is it?"

"Do we get permission to shoot vampires?" asked Ah Chiong.

"That depends on your situation. If you were inside a building full of vampires and you know cannot win against them, better retreat for a while and report to the Captain," Danelio explained.

Ah Chiong nodded and everyone else also doing the same thing.

"Alright, this is the decided team. Listen carefully..

Alpha and Bravo Team will investigate Andy and the other vampires. They would be in Group One. Charlie and Lotus Team will be Group Two and your job is to investigate the specific place which the vampires will gather. While the Pigeon Team would be in Group Three to make strategy for the team. Mighty and Rickie Team will stay here in Caspian Castle as the Group Four. Group Four will back up Group One and Two if anything error happens."

"Group One, meet Nalini for your weapon."

"Group Two with Danelio."

"Group Three with Simon."

"Got that?"

"YES, CAPTAIN!"

"Are you ready for this?" asked Dale to Dee who was adjusting her pistol.

"Of course. I'm already ready for a long time ago," answered Dee. Dee stopped whatever she was doing and she put her hands on Dale's hands.

"You will look out for me, right?"

Dale looked deep into Dee's eyes. A delightful smile appeared on his lips. Dale put his left palm to Dee's right cheek. "Of course, Dee."

A few moments later, only then Dale finds out the true meaning behind Dee's words. "Did that mean, you are accepting my feelings for you?"

Dee smiled and she shook her head slightly. "You such a slower man."

"Really?" asked Dale happily.

"Shut up, I don't want the others to know about this!" said Dee while she put her hand to Dale's mouth to keep him quiet.

"You really like me too??" asked Dale after he removed Dee's hand.

"Don't make me repeat myself again."

Dale quickly hugged Dee in excitement. "I'm glad you also have the same feeling for me too!"

"Oh, man… Can you just stay calm about this? It's not something to brag about!" said Dee.

"I'm just too happy. Don't you??"

Far from the joy scene, there was Terence who was looking at Dee with a defeated face. He feels so dejected because Dee finally chooses Dale as her partner.

Maybe I was a little later than Dale..

If only I could turn back the clock, I will make sure to make Dee mine…

Terence looked away as his eyes started to get hot and watery.

"You like her, didn't you?" asked Chellyne. She came toward Terence. When she saw Terence's watery eyes, Chellyne couldn't help it but to laugh at him.

"Don't tell me you were crying? Such when a big boy like you wants to cry?" said Chellyne while she still laughed.

Terence quickly turned his face in another direction so that Chellyne couldn't see his tears. He immediately wiped out the remaining tears. "Go away, you are disturbing me!"

Chellyne sighed again. She crossed her hands onto her chest. "Look, Terence… You don't have to be this sad because the woman you like was choosing another man. You have to move on and live your happy life."

"You think it was that easy to forget someone you like?" asked Terence again with a menacing voice.

"I know it was not easy. But I was worried if you couldn't hold yourself from your feelings during this mission. Terence, we are facing a great danger later. If you keep yourself miserable like this, did you think you can take care of yourself?" said Chellyne.

This time, her words making Terence stay quiet for a while.

"Terence, I know it's been hard for you… but think carefully for everyone's sake. We need you Terence, I don't want you to make a wrong step because you cannot concentrate on this mission. Just for now, Terence… focus your attention on this mission first," said Chellyne.

She put the pistol she was holding into Terence's hands. "I'm begging you!"

After that, Chellyne walked away from Terence. She wants to find another gun for herself. Okay, that's great for the first step. I'm still not sure about this, is giving him courage like this would make him get better?

Terence still stays stuck where he was. Thinking about what just Chellyne says to him.

***

Livnah tried to talk with Anthonio but all Anthonio was doing is, avoiding Livnah.

Livnah started to give up because she couldn't talk to him at all.

Suddenly, she felt guilty for making fun of Anthonio last time. Livnah thinks she really shouldn't have done that…

"Yeah, you really shouldn't have done that!" said Elvin, suddenly popped out from nowhere.

Livnah slowly gave him a dreadful stare. "Mind your own business, asshole!"

"See, you couldn't even talk nice to me. How can you talk to Anthonio like that?" said Elvin.

"Why would you care so much? Anthonio is not your brother anyway…"

"And he is not your boyfriend either…"

"You're annoying, you know that. Can you just leave me alone and let me do my own work. I'm trying my best to talk to him. What do you care about?" said Livnah ferociously.

"I think you wouldn't succeed," said Elvin again.

"So what?? It's not like I get that help from you either… All you did was annoy and nagging me!" Livnah said and she quickly walked away from Elvin.

Elvin looked at Livnah who was walking away. Slowly, he smiled before he also left that place.

"Bambam!"

"Shoot!!" Bambam was shocked when someone called her name. She flinched hard and the knife in her hands fell to the floor, right into Bambam's toes.

Just before the knife hit Bambam's toes, someone already pulled Bambam to the back.

"Are you alright?" asked Jakzen after the knife landed on the floor.

Bambam looked at Jakzen and she nodded. Bambam then picked up the knife again. "Jakzen, you scared me!"

"Sorry!" Jakzen showed his gummy smile. "I need help.."

"What help?" asked Bambam.

"Can you button this for me? I can't button it up!" said Jakzen as he showed Bambam the last button on his shirt collar.

"Oh, sure!" Bambam put down the knife and she helped Jakzen to button up the button.

While Bambam was buttoning the button, she accidently looked up to Jakzen's face. At the same time, Jakzen also was looking at her.

Automatically, Bambam's face turned red.

"Oh, your blushing!" said Jakzen with a stillness.

The red on Bambam's face increased. Damn you Jakzen.. Can you stop teasing me? I'm already embarrassed to be looked at by you. Why did you have to mention my blushing?

Bambam quickly settled up the button problem and she walked away. She couldn't hold it to stand near Jakzen again.

She was really embarrassed!!...

"Oh,why is she leaving that fast!"

"Hey Bambam, you forget your knife!!!" shouted Jakzen as he held the knife in his hands.

Jakzen sighed a bit. Why did she look like she wanted to run away from me?

And then, Jakzen saw Chellyne walking in front of his sight. "Oh hi Chellyne!?"

Chellyne looked at Jakzen again and then she replied with a smile. "Hi, Jakzen! What's up?"

"What are you doing? You need my help?" asked Jakzen.

"Sure. I want to pick another weapon for our mission!" said Chellyne.

"But we're just staying here!" said Jakzen again.

"Yeah, so what?!" She said,

"Count me in!" said Jakzen with a fond smile and then he walked with Chellyne.
