Chapter 12: The Curious Case of Samantha Morales

Lynch's POV

Due to the thunder storm currently affecting the Northern region of the country, wala kaming makuhang police na pumunta dito dahil all roads are blocked.

Nagbuntong hininga ako bago ko tinanong kay Arya, "So, what do we currently know?"

"Well, the murderer is left handed and apparently very strong. And that she was choking while the person plunged the knife into her chest." Dahil hindi kami sigurado na si Czar nga ang pumatay kay Sam, pinaupo namin lahat sila sa sala. Although, Cass blames Czar for Sam's death. "I also asked about their alibis earlier."

"Apparently, Czar was taking a bath when that happened. Cass was sleeping. Gregory was watching in his room, Nero was doing work, Lucy was in the library, while Marky and Deanna were hanging out in the balcony."

"Why don't we look whoever is right handed with them?" Suhestiyon ni Arya na ginawa ko pa kanina. "I already checked, the only left handed among them are Cass, Nero, and Deanna. There rest are right." Tiningnan ko lahat sila, at medyo tumigil kay Gregory, something's really wrong.

I took a break and went to the kitchen, not looking at the covered body of Sam, which really smelled unpleasant, and saw Cass drinking coffee. I went to her right, where the coffee mix are. "Okay ka lang?"

"My girlfriend just died! How do you fucking expect me to be okay?!" Nabigla naman ako sa sagot niya kaya naitulak ng siko ko ang kape niya. Weird. Something was not adding up.

I took a seat across her, "If you don't mind me asking, do you know any potential motives why one of your friends might kill Sam?"

She sniffed before answering, "Well, to be honest, ang unang tao na sasabihin ko ay si Czar...He used to be my ex boyfriend but then, naging kami ni Samantha, and he has kept his distance ever since."

"Sinabi mo na unang tao, mayroon pa bang suspect na hinihinala mo?"

"Lucy. She really wasn't the same ever since Sam rejected her to be with me. She would always be moody or awkward or antisocial kapag magkasama kami." Napaisip ako kaya iniwan ko siya at bumalik sa upuan namin ni Arya at sinabi ang lahat nang nakuha kong balita. "Hey, pumunta tayo sa kuwarto ni Sam." Tumango naman siya at sinundan ako.

To say that her room was messy would be an understatement. Pagbukas namin sa pintuan ay parang binagyo ang lugar. "Search for anything personal."

Ang daming nakakalat na damit at sapatos. I, being the neat freak I am, picked up evrything...even her undergarments, which was really awkward dahil kasama ko si Arya. Inilagay ko lahat sa hamper ang damit at sa ilalim ng kama naman ang mga sapatos. "Wait, Lynch! Something fell."

Tiningnan ko naman ang papel na hawak hawak niya. Parang pinunit itong bahagi na papel from a memo pad. "Ano to? Putol-putol."

Iniabot ko ang papel sa kanya. It said;
YAL
PECIALLY
E YOU
D CARE

ET LOVING
U

"Quick! Hanapin natin ang dugtong nitong papel." We went through everything, even her closet. Her desk was too full of paper that you wouldn't know where to start. "Wait!" I stopped, "Lynch, alam ko na kung nasaan ang memo pad."

Hinila niya ako pababa at sa kitchen area, kung nasaan ang bangkay ni Sam. Hinila niya ang takip nito, "Where is it? Bilisan mo dahil nakakasakit sa ulo ang amoy ng bangkay." She glared at me before going to the back pocket of Sam.

"It might not have the paper it had before but manalangin ka sa Diyos na iyon ang huli niyang isinulat." Seryoso niyang sinabi sa akin habang kinuha niya ang lapis sa kanyang buhok, na dahilan kung bakit bumagsak ang mahabang buhok niya, yung parang commercial ng creamsilk?
