Chapter 1 : Asylum Universe

MHOREIN

Naglatag ako ng plato sa lamesa at inayos ang almusal. Kakain na sana ako nang may marinig akong kumakatok sa pinto.

"Mhor!"

"Detective!" I frowned when I heard Chain and Aiden's voices.

I stood up and opened the door.

"Good morning, Honey." Bumati ang nakangiting mukha ni Chain.

"Do you not want me to eat?" I sarcastically asked.

"Just eat, We'll join you." Aiden said, Smiling. Chain and Aiden helped themselves in.

"Sige guys, Come in." Sarkastiko kong sabi bago sumunod sa kanila.

Hindi manlang ako hinintay ng dalawa. Naabutan ko sila sa kusina na nakaupo na at may nakahaing plato at kubyertos.

"Bakit kayo nandito? I thought you'd call me?" I asked.

"We went to the asylum." Chain answered, Shoving a pancake in his mouth. Napailing nalang ako

"Bakit hindi niyo ako sinabihan? At isa pa," Tinignan ko ang orasan.

"Alas nuebe palang."

"We didn't interrogate anyone. Nagtanong tanong lang kami kung sinong posibleng suspek. So you don't have to go through the trouble." Paliwanag ni Chain.

"Kumain lang kayo, We'll go back to the asylum later."

"Continue eating, I'm going to get dressed." I said and left them in the kitchen.

Tinitigan ko ang halos kasing tangkad ko na labahan at ang aparador kong dadalawa ang laman.

"I should probably do my laundry..." Bulong ko sa sarili

"Hey, you're wearing shorts?" Chain asked, One eyebrow raised.

"I don't have clean pants."

"What did you wear last night?"

"Madumi." Chain rolled his eyes.

I looked at the sink and kitchen table. Buti naman at hindi ganoon kakapal ang mukha ng dalawang ito at naisipan nilang maglinis ng lamesa.

"Tara na." I said and grabbed the car keys.

We entered the elevator and as it was about to close,

"Wait! Wait lang!" Katherine cried. We pressed the buttons and opened the elevator.

"Thanks Mhor- Sino sila?" Tanong ni Kath habang nakatingin sa dalawang kasama ko.

"Aiden Jake Ignacio, Miss." Aiden smiled.

"Chain Yuan Castranuevo." Pakilala ni Chain.

"Oh... Boyfriend?" Tumango si Chain.

"What's your floor?" I asked.

"Parking lot." She replied.

"Oh, you're going somewhere?" Tanong ko.

"Siguro, Mhor." She said sarcastically.

"As I said..." I whispered.

"May kaso?"

"Siguro, Kath." She laughed.

"We're here."

Lumabas si Chain at nauna na sa amin. Dahil walang sariling sasakyan si Aiden, Sumabay ito kay Chain.

I called Chain. Binaba ko ang telepono at binuksan ang speaker nito.

"Chain?"

"Yes, Ma'am?"
