NYC : 10

EUREKA'S POV

"Is that..." I frowned. "A tablet?"

Yes, tablet, as in a tablet gadget. Nasa loob ito ng aparador, nakalapag lamang sa pinakaibaba nito.

Binalot ng katahimikan ang warehouse, kung saan kami na-trap, at nakatinginan kaming tatlo. Halata ang pagtatakha sa aming mga mukha.

"So? Ano ngayon kung may tablet sa aparador? Malay n'yo tinapon lang 'yan diyan dahil sira na." Nagkibit-balikat si Jon. "Ngayon ka lang ba nakakita ng tablet, Euri?"

Umiling ako at hindi nagsalita. Instead, I bent over and grabbed that gadget Tumayo ulit ako, saka pinagpagan ang hawak kong tablet. Medyo maalikabok na kasi ito.

"What are you doing?" asked Ele.

"Strange..." I muttered while examining the tablet on my hand. "Mukhang nilagay lang 'tong tablet sa aparador ngayon-ngayon lang."

"What do you mean, Euri?" Pati si Jonathan ay napatanong na rin.

Then, ipinakita ko sa kanila iyung tablet na hawak ko. "Look. Hindi pa gano'n kaalikabok ang tablet na ito kumpara sa loob no'ng aparador."

Then I pointed my forefinger at the closet's interior. Balot ito ng alikabok at mga spiderwebs. At saka 'ko muli bumaling sa tablet.

"Which means someone might just drop that gadget there on purpose? Like, just recently?" Ele stated as though he reads my thoughts.

Tumango ako. "Exactly. Iyung pagsabog, iyung pag-trap sa'tin dito sa warehouse, 'yung red string, itong aparador, saka itong tablet... Everything seems a puzzle. It's strange, isn't it?"

"Sus! Baka nagko-conclude lang kayo ng kung anu-ano. C'mon!" sabat ni Jon.

"Perhaps but..." I managed to face the tablet and find a button to open it. "There's only one way to find out."

Sa gilid ng tablet ay may power button, pinindot ko ito at kaagad na umilaw ang screen. Mayroong itong lockscreen at kinailangan ko pa 'tong i-swipe para mabuksan.

With a single stroke of my finger, the tablet's screen automatically flashed a certain video. Yes, literally a video!

["Greetings, darlings! If you're watching this video, I sincerely give you my congratulations!"]

A woman, probably around thirty to forty years old, came on the screen. She has this sophisticated yet enthusiastic aura and pure American accent. Nakaupo siya sa swivel-chair, at black ang background.

Kumunot ang noo ko at napabulong, "I... I knew her."

["Oh, my bad! I didn't yet introduce myself. If you're wondering who am I, you probably heard me from your handsome principal, Moire Morgan, my ex boyfriend. And you guess it right!"] The woman on screen continued while there's smile on her face. ["The name's Jane Forester, none other than."]
