"Watch out knixx, he is coming from west. Coming on your way." I stopped from walking when I heard that on my earpiece. I glanced at the CCTV and nodded. I scanned my surroundings and spotted a guy wearing a blue shirt, white cap and black faded pants, and a black backpack on it's shoulder.

　　"Roger." I answered and started to walk again. But instead of coming on my way, the guy turned and ran towards the hallway, going to the exit.

　　"He is escaping. He maybe noticed my presence. Eli, he is coming on your way." I said on my earpiece, enabling the whole team to hear. Before going to the exit, I entered a shop and goes on the fitting room. After a couple of minutes, I went out, wearing only an up-shoulder checkered yellow, and a skyblue skirt and a white shoes, with a summer hat on my head. I went out on the exit of the shop and immediately went to the place where the guy will also go out.

　　"He is coming knixx." I am ready. I pretended to be a civilian who is just walking around the place looking for something. As I walked again and again, the guy bumped me and his bag hanging on his shoulder fell.

　　"Oh my god, I am so sorry. Forgive me sir. I am just finding some important things." I said on a sweet voice. I noticed that he keep on glancing at me as I look at him grabbing his bag and his other stuffs fell on the floor. I scanned his things and I saw it. A black crescent moon. A symbol we've been looking for. He stood up and was going to trying to go but I grab his arms.

　　"Sir, you dropped this." I showed him his pen. His eyes widen and was about to grab his pen but I did not let him grab if from my hand.

　　"Give me that." He spoke. His voice is same with his. He tried to get it again, but he failed.

　　"Give me that before I could hurt you miss." I smiled playfully, Instead of giving his pen, I put it on my pocket.

　　"Why? What is in this pen?" I asked. His eyes darkened. I expected him to grab the pen forcefully but instead, he tried to kick me on my left leg, but I blocked it using my right leg, I turned my leg and he fell on the floor. I immediately disabled my earpiece and touched him.

　　I grab his collar and removed his cap and mask. My eyes widen. For some reason, he touches his head and scanned the place, the surroundings.

　　"Where am I? Miss, what are you doing to me?" He asked as if he did'nt know what just happened. I gritted my teeth and grab his bag. I forcefully get any thing from his bag, and I saw that symbol again. I grab it from its place and noticed that it was just a design of a single notebook.

　　"This is fucked up." I cursed loudly. The guy look at me with its confusing eyes. Confuse on what just happened, what I did, and what I am currently doing. I went near him and tried to scan his body. Spotted. I even touches his head and he was just sitting there, confused. He tried removing my hand but I just tap it hardly. I just found a small piece of device coming from his hair, near his ear. It is as small as a cover of a coca cola bottle. It's thin and color black.

　　"Miss." Before he could finish I stand up and walks away from him.

　　"What's wrong knixx? What happened? Why did you disabled the earpiece?" A question aired on my ear when I enabled the earpiece back again. I gritted my teeth.

　　"Hey knixx, what's wrong? Why did you leave the culprit?" Oceiana asked me after Jamel. I could'nt say anything. I was speechless and still am. He was smart alright.

　　"Hey knixx, say something? What just happened? You just turned off the earpiece without even telling us." Eli shouted on the other side, that made me come back on my senses again. I shook my head and swallowed the lump that seems stuck on my throat.

　　"We've been fooled." I answered coldly. I can't believe it, I was sure enough there is only one exit on that hallway, how did he get away.

　　"What do you mean?" Eli asked, confused. I sighed and popped my knuckles.

　　"It's a decoy. He is not the one. He was controlled." I said directly to them. I could hear them curse silently because of what I've just said. This is bullshit. This is fooling us, again and again.

　　"Why? What happened? I thought he is going on that way." It was Yuricka's voice that I just heard.

　　"He did, but he did not get out on that one exit. I wonder how and I wonder why." I answered. Yuricka gasped.

　　"But we are still here outside." She said, stopping me.

　　"There is no trace of him from the way out. There is only one exit but he is'nt present. Knixx, Eli, just come here at the HQ." I nodded and sighed. I started walking again and faked a smile.

　　I went to the parking lot where my black car is present. It's tinted and very secured. I can't let anyone know what is inside my car. It's hard to trust someone these days. I can't also let mt guard down.

　　"Alright we are coming." I murmured. As I said that, I also heard my co-workers cars engines started.

　　Let's just start this car and end this day. I also started my car and immediately rode it fast to HQ.

　　----

　　"So, what you are saying knixx that the guy seems not to know what happened. He did not get out from the hallway but we saw him entered." Jamel cleared. I nodded.

　　"But yes, we all saw him entered. There is no CCTV at the hallway, and another guy goes out and when you removed that small device, he seems like he doesn't know what is happening?" I nodded from Jamel's words.

　　"That only means one thing." I exclaimed.

　　"That, when the culprit entered he might grab that guy and exchange with him and put that device on his shirt that disables his body and mind to process on it's own." Yuricka added. I was also thinking that.

　　"But the question is, how did he was'nt seen by us. We entered the hallway and there is no trace of him. How did he get out when you Knixx, have'nt seen him getting out, and how did he transfer the device so easily and the outfit." Oceiana said meaningfully. She is right. That guy was smart. He managed to fool us out and transferred that without us noticing.

　　"And by the way, I found this." I said and showed them the pen.

　　"What is that?" All of them asked.

　　"Is it connected to the culprit?" Yvonne asked, i nodded and shrugged.

　　"Maybe, he was shocked when he saw me holding this, but, like what we've said, he was controlled." I fired back. Jamel nodded.

　　"Maybe, that really isn't connected. Maybe, it is a trap or something like that para pagtounan ng pansin iyan, Maybe. It is all an act." Eli said.

　　"You are right. It is all an act. We have been fooled." I said and turned my gaze on the table where different kind of devices are present. My forehead wrinkled when I just remembered something.

　　"By the way, that device." I, then pointed the device I got from that guy. "How did he made that? Are they really that smart to create such device? Or it is an act?" Then, Tion turned at the table.

　　"This might be true, but it is hard to create a device that can control a human being." He explained. He is right. It is such a small device, but it might be. Underestimating them might bring us all down.

　　"That's all for now, come back tomorrow morning. I'll study this device and explain it tomorrow if I'll managed to get some information." We all sighed and nodded afterwards.

　　Before we go outside, we put up our disguise again. We all did that, except for Tion who's gonna stay here.

　　"Guys, do you think there are personell on that mall that might be one of them?" She has a point.

　　"Maybe, maybe one of them helped him escaped." I added. They just shook their heads.

　　"This operation is quite something, huh." Eli whispered to himself, and I heard it.

　　"Let's just rest. We'll go back tomorrow here. Let's just have a break and think of this tomorrow." We all agreed to what Oceiana said. We all parted our ways, Yuricka went to her way home. While Eli went to his friends' house, and Oceiana went to her boyfriend's house, and me.

　　I am going home..
