CHAPTER 17

Allison' s POV

"Are you ready?" I asked Madi while she was holding the gun as she positioned herself.

We were both here in the center of training ground. I looked at her from bottom to top. She was wearing a high waisted army pants with the white shirt tucked-in on it likewise on what I was wearing for today's training. I crossed my arms while I was observing her actions.

"Yes."

"Your target is the center of the human metal board. Shot now, Madi."

She nodded. My eyes focused on her hands. She quickly pulled the trigger and the bullet went directly on the center of the human board.

I clapped my hands as she did it with all the targets that I ordered from her. 

"Great!"

She flipped her hair and looked at me with a smirk.

"Well, my trainor is good." She winked. 

I shook my head and smiled. Every morning was our schedule for her training. I was amazed that she was a fast learner like me. Madi was also good in gun shooting.

"Next. Sparing."

She let go the gun from her hand. She brushed her hair and her right foot moved forward likewise how her body leaned sideward. Her palm closed as her right hand was also moved forward. The way she positioned herself seemed like she was ready to have a sparing with me.

I also positioned myself and quickly attacked her with my punches. She moved downward as she avoided the punches I gave. I moved backward as she gave consecutive attacks on me. 

Our eyes met in the middle of her attacks. The way she moved her eyes seemed different. Hatred was evident on her face and her eyes were full of anger as she made an attack on me. My eyebrows met in the middle of my confusion.

"Stop," I ordered.

Her expression came back to normal as she stopped from what she was doing.

"Are you alright?" I asked while she was taking a deep breath.

She nodded. "Yeah. I just can't help my emotion." She looked down.

I simply stared at her until the door of the training ground opened. "Miss Ali," Tania called.

I turned my back and looked at her. "What?"

"Boss Rom wants to see you," she answered.

I nodded. "I'm going." 

She smiled and went out. I turned my eyes again to Madi. "Let's continue tomorrow."

I walked from the center of the training ground to the outside. As I was walking downstairs, thoughts about my twin were occupying my mind. Was there something wrong with her?

Levi and Boss Rom were in the office as I entered inside. They both looked up until the door opened again. Madi followed and also went to the office.

"What is it, Boss?"

I sat down on the chair in front of Levi while his eyes were staring at me. I turned my eyes on him and raised my eyebrow.

He showed a smile and scratched his head. "Don't give me that look. It's not effective now, Ali."

I grinned. He chuckled.

Through the staring happened between us, Boss Rom cleared his throat. "Listen."

We both turned our eyes on him. 

"I called the both of you since you were the Vigilantes partner," Boss Rom stated.

"What about me?" Madi asked and she was sitting beside Levi's chair.

"I did not call you."

"Boss," I warned. He sighed and continued what he was saying.

"Since we are planning the big mission, I want the both of you to make a surveillance with the biggest underground gambling company," he explained.

"The Over Heiress Company?" Levi asked.

Boss Rom nodded. "They were expanding their illegal transactions so we need to take action."

"Who's the founder or the business man behind the company?" I asked in return.

"Our top one in the list," Levi answered while his hands were tapping on the table.

"Mr. Bernardo Collins," Maddison added.

We all turned our eyes on her with the confusion on our face. Boss Rom crossed his arms likewise on what I did on my legs.

"How did you know him, Madi?" Boss Rom questioned.

Widened eyes showed on Madi's face as she realized what she said. She composed herself to answer confidently.

"I saw the name on the list in the tech-room."

Boss Rom didn't mind the answer of my sister. "Ali and Levi," he called.

I looked at him, waiting for his words.

"Start the surveillance now so we can do the operation as soon as possible," Boss Rom ordered. I put my right hand on the left shoulder as a sign of my salute to Boss. 

"Yes, Boss," Levi and I answered.

"Can I come with them?" Madi asked again.

"No. You're still not capable of being with the Vigilante Partners," Boss Rom answered.

I looked at Levi, asking him to go out of the office. I did not turn my eyes on my sister and I quickly stood up to walk out of the office with Levi.

As I opened the door, Boss called again. "Ali, the results of the investigation with your case and the gunshot happened before."

"Let's talk about it another time, Boss."

Before I closed the door, I turned my eyes to Madi. "Stay here, Madi. The Vigilantes are kind. You can approach them anytime."

I walked with Levi until we reached the car that we were going to use. We couldn't use the van because it was only for our missions. I entered in the front seat and put on the safety camera on my shirt. The gun was also put in my hidden pocket.

"Let's go," I demanded as Levi also entered the car.

Levi remained silent as he was staring at me. I was bothered with his stares and called out his attention again.

"Levi!"

"H-Huh?"

"What are you staring at?" I asked.

He scratched the tip of his nose and grinned. "Your beauty."

I raised my eyebrows on him. "What?!"

"I'm staring at your beauty. It's been a long time since we had this kind of time together so I had no choice but to enjoy this moment with my partner," he explained.

I grinned. "Well then let's enjoy this moment."

We both chuckled together until he drove the car. I could not deny that this man was special in my life but I could see how my twin sister admired him.

He looked back in the middle of my stare on him. He smiled at me. Those smiles taught me to handle him since he became my Vigilante partner.

"Staring is a sin, Miss Ali."

"Then you're also a sinner, Levi."

Laughters occupied the car not until I felt the vibration on my phone. He focused on  driving while I'm looking at the message on my phone. It was from Harley.

From: The Bully

Allison! You're having fun with your Vigilante Partner, huh?

I sighed and typed a reply. I forgot that the hidden camera I had on my shirt was connected to him.

To: The Bully

I'm working. Don't disturb me.

I turned off my phone and put it back in my pocket. When I looked outside, I realized that we were in our target place. He drove inside the building until we reached the underground.

"Let's go," Levi commanded after he parked the car far from the main door.

I followed him after he went outside and fixed himself. We started to walk from our place up to the main door. Bouncers were scattered around the parking lot until to the main door.

We gave our fake ID that Boss Rom gave to us earlier. The two bouncers scanned our body; afterwards they allowed us to go inside the gambling area.

People were loud. Each of them had a business inside. The place was occupied with round tables and chairs. Some people were smoking and drinking and there are some who were only playing. 

Levi and I were both walking and looking for an extra table until we reached the bar area where there were extra seats in the counter. Levi held my hand until we sat down.

"Calm yourself, Ali. Just look around," Levi whispered as he leaned closer to me.

I nodded and my eyes looked around the people inside the gambling area. There were also other doors on the side and some people were going inside those doors. 

Meanwhile, the main door opened and a mid-forty years old man showed up and he was wearing his business man suit. He greeted some people or should I say the gamblers in his company.

"That's Mr. Bernardo Collins," Levi said as he also looked at them.

We remained inside until we confirmed the illegal transaction they were making in the middle of the gambling session.

Levi ordered a drink for us earlier. I sipped the last drop of the champagne in the glass after I witnessed the illegal gambling in here.

"That's enough for now, Levi. Let's go back to the association," I commanded.

He nodded and finished his drink. After a few minutes, we came back to the parking lot. As I entered the car, curses were uttering in my mouth.

"The hell! That's ridiculous!"

"Business is business. Let's just make an action through the mission," Levi said. 

I took a deep breath and let him drive back to the association. No one spoke in the middle of the ride.

*****

When we reached the association building again, I went straight to the tech-room. Unfortunately, I heard a shout from the inside before I opened the door.

"What's happening here?!" I questioned as I entered inside.

Madi was standing in front while the members were looking down not until I came and their eyes were on me.

"Vigilantes! What's happening?! Who's shouting before I come?"

"M-Miss Maddison," Tania answered as her voice was trembling.

I turned my eyes to my sister. She's now looking down on the floor. 

"Why are you shouting them, Madi?"

She looked up and slid her hair at the back of her ears. "They are not following my orders, Ali," she defended.

I grinned. I looked at the members one by one until Tania spoke again.

"Boss Rom told us not to follow orders unless it came from you, Miss Ali."

"But I am her twin sister! So you should also follow me!" Madi exclaimed.

Afterwards, Levi also came inside. He stood up beside me.

"But you're not the leader, Maddison! Besides, you're still not even part of this association!" Tania also exclaimed.

"Enough!!!"

They all looked down with fear.

"You were not called Vigilantes if you're going to fight with one another! All of you! Go to the training ground. Now!"

They rushed themselves to turn off their computers. They quickly went out and Madi was also coming with them.

"Madi." I called her.

She turned her eyes on me with confusion.

"Let's talk." I ordered.
