"It says that the number I've dialled is unattended."
"Damn it."
"So what are we going to do now?"
"I... I don't know."
Inis na sinabunuton ni Devio ang buhok niya. He look so stressed and pissed off. Sunod-sunod na ang mga hindi inaasahang pangyayari sa buhay ni Devio. Kung ako siguro ang nasa sitwasyon niya ay ganon rin ang mararamdaman ko.
He had a fight on his girlfriend, then a murder case got into his ground and now her girlfriend is missing?
"Shiana, tumawag ka na ba sa mga police?"
"Yes. As I got on to my phone, I was calling the parents of Larra at agad naman silang nataranta nung kinukwento ko ang lahat ng nangyari saka sila tumawag ng pulis."
"Sinabi na rin namin ito sir Joel at saka doon sa detective na si Mr. Arevalo. Aaksyon agad daw sila pagkatapos na ikulong nila si Melissa." dagdag naman ni Rald.
Yup, Melissa was the one who killed the boyfriend of her friend. Halos mahimatay nga ang ate ni Devio ng malaman niyang bestfriend niya ang pumatay sa boyfriend.
Her motive to kill him? Well, sabi niya ay nao-obsess na daw itong Warren na ito which is her friend too, sa bestfriend niyang si Deina.
"The one who killed the victim is..." pagbibitin ni gurang. Pa-suspense effect pa eh.
"S-sino?"
"You, Miss Melissa." they all gasped except me, Tyrone and Mev. Malaki lahat ang mata, gulat na gulat ang mukha pati si Melissa.
"W-what?"
"Melissa, totoo ba?" Hindi makapaniwala ang bestfriend niya.
"N-no, h-hindi ko kayang pumatay!" she all has the right to defend herself, after all she's in the hot seat. Pero hanggang saan niya ito idedeny?
"Yes you can," matalim na tingin ang binigay ko kay gurang habang nakatalikod siya samin.
"No! W-wala kayong ebidensya na ako ang pumatay!"
"Oh we have. And I can totally explain to you on how you killed the victim." hindi ko maiwasan bumuntong hininga sa pagpapasikat ni gurang. I know he's a detective and it's his duty to solve and explain complicated cases but the tone of his voice is just so irritating. Parang proud na ipagyayabang niya ito, akala mo naglalaro lang.
"H-hindi, hindi ako ang p-pumatay."
"You killed him by putting cyanide in his cola." Yup, another case of cyanide poisoning. Although the first one is unsuccessful. I mean the case of Larra.
"Liar! Kung nilagay ko ito sa baso niya, edi sana nahuli nila ako at pagsuspetsyahan."
"That's why you insisted that you're getting the drinks for them, right?" napaurong siya sa sinabi ni gurang, hindi na siya makasalita. Ngumiwi ako, pareho kami ng deduction.
"But detective, sumama ako sa kanya sa pagkuha ng drinks dahil hindi niya makakaya na buhatin ang apat na baso." Saad ni Liam, defending the murderer.
"Y-yeah! Edi sana mahuli niyang may nilalagyan si Lis sa isa sa mga baso!" Another one, Vince, also defending their friend. Well, hindi ko sila masisisi, kahit siguro kaibigan ko yun ay gano'n rin ang gagawin ko. Siyempre, hindi ako makapaniwala na nagawa niya ito and I trusted her tapos ganito ang ibabalik niya sakin.
