Ch.6
I sat quietly around the large rectangle table and watched the other members poured in and sat down. There were two-rectangle table in the room that will fit twenty-two people on each table. Nine seats on each sides of the table and two seats on the end of the table. That's just fine for the organization since there are only forty-two members including Pia, Sugar, Red, and me. In minutes the room was filled with all the members. Red was standing at the podium with a microphone and a large blank screen behind him that almost cover the whole wall. We all waited for him to speak. The light in the room became dim and he started to speak.
"Your mission: Destroy Sabotage," he ordered. Mission? A group mission? Is this why he called us? What is Sabotage anyways?
I looked around to find members whispering to each other.
"Sabotage? They're back?" asked one of the male members.
"Apparently so. This morning I went to check out something with BTK and found us in a fight with some assassins. We weren't sure who they worked for but seeing those chokers with that similar silver symbol on I was pondering if they work for Sabotage and I was correct." He looked toward Pia and I. Everyone follow his gaze and looked at us too. I started to feel uncomfortable. I think Pia felt the same way or maybe not.
"Why are they looking at us?" I whispered to Pia. Pia didn't answered me but said," Yesterday on our mission to retrieved the red tips shurikens we encountered a guy who told us to tell Red that Sabotage is on the lose."
Everyone started chatting and whispering again. What's going on? It seem everyone know what Sabotage is except for me. "Pia..." I started to whisper but she said, " I don't know who they are but they seem dangerous if this keeps up."
As if sensing my questions Red said," As many of you know Sabotage is another assassin's organization whose leader is Takikaki Fuma. Seven years ago they were destroy by us and Takikai Fuma was sent to Concenca Island Prison. It seem, since he was gone his followers were rebuilding the organization and sometimes during this year he escaped from there with the help of his followers. Now they are back and are determined to extinguish us from this world. We cannot allow that to happen. We have to keep Tetsugai's promise and destroy them before they do us."
Tesugai. He was Red's master and the founder of the organization. How he died I'm not sure. So that's what Sabotage was, another assassin's organization. I can tell Red hates them because of the anger and fire in his eyes when he spoke about them.
He kept on talking for at least twenty-five minutes until he brought up the topic of the traitor I heard him mention before. Who was the traitor I don't know until he told us.
"Vai Sakiga. Find him and killed him," ordered Red. Vai Sakiga? I wasn't that surprise to hear his name. Pia, some other members and I always knew there was something suspicious about him so we told Red to not allow him to come to headquarters. Red agreed and so Vai never knew where the headquarters was located even though he was a member. Good thing he wasn't allow to know where the headquarters whereabouts or else this building would have been destroy by now. Or so I think.
"He had betrayed us and gave some information about Lost Soul to Sabotage. Including some of the members' identity. Find him and killed him as soon as possible," ordered Red. "You all got that?"
"Yes," we all said.
Tan, another member stood up and said, "Shouldn't we be spilt into groups or shall we just work as a whole and destroy any trace of Sabotage."
Red thought about it. "Whoever finds Vai, kill him. Whoever comes in contact with a Sabotage member kill him. Have no mercy upon them."
"If we come in contact with Takikaki Fuma..." started another member but Red interrupted and said, "Call me and I'll take care of him. I have some personal business with him." He looked around the room. "Meeting is over," he said. The organizations started to pour out of the room with their mission in mind. Pia and I follow.
Before we could leave the room, Red stopped us and said, "Be careful if you two bump into Sabotage. They're not like any of the enemies you have met on missions."
We nodded. "We will," said Pia.
"Um…how are we suppose to know a person works for Sabotage?" I asked.
"Their choker. Each and everyone of them always wear a choker resembling a belt with a silver symbol that looks like flame," answered Red.
"I see," I said.
Pia and I left the room but before I was completely out of the room I turned to find Red talking to Snipe. Snipe nodded and turned to look at us. I quickly turned back around and went after Pia.
What were they talking about?
