The Hell Mansion

KABANATA ANIM

VI - Tunnel

JAKE

"What the hell happen here?" Nagtatakang turan ni Angelo habang ginagala ang paningin sa kabuuan ng bodega.

Dust and many spiderwebs are everywhere. Isama pa ang mga nagkalat na kahoy at mga sirang upuan na nasa sahig.

"Where is the torture room you saying?" patanong na sabi ni Kira

Natutop ko ang akong mga labi dahil sa tanong nito. Kahit ako ay nagtataka at naguguluhan."It was here yesterday-"

Muling nagtama ang aming paningin ni Angelo na tulad ko'y naguguluhan rin.

"There's nothing here except dirt" ang sunod na tinuran ni Kira habang kinakamot ang noo at tila naiirita.

"The video!" Agad kong nasabi habang nanlalaki ang mata. "Narecord ko yon, wait -" Dali- dali kong binaba ang bagpack na aking hawak upang kuhanin ang video recorder, buti na lang at nadala ko ito. I check the video recorder while everyone gather on my back to also see.

Immediately I click the video, nagsimula itong magplay simula ng umalis kaming dalawa ni Angelo hanggang sa tawagin ako nito ng makita ang bodega. But when we we're about to enter the door, the video suddenly stop. A long glitching and scratch sound appear on the screen and then tuluyan na itong huminto. "Huh?" Tinaktak at inalog-alog ko pa ang video recorder hoping that it will play pero sadyang wala na.

Natahimik ang lahat until long beeping sound pop. It was the EMF, Matt immediately look into it. "There's high energy here" sabi nito habang palakad lakad at tinututok ito sa kung saan. Hanggang mapahinto ito. "Found something else Matt?" tanong ni Hasmin. Hindi ko na marinig ang iba pa nilang pinaguusapan dahil ang utak ko ay nakapokus at patuloy na naglalayag sa mga pangyayari kagabi at ngayon. 'How come it suddenly disappeared.'

I think there's someone whose blocking us to see what it is. Hindi kaya eto yung babae sa aking panaginip? No she's not, if she wanted our help then she will also help us. Then is it the one who killed her? Maybe' dahil ito lang ang may motibo para gawin ito, but is he killed also? I mean there's a high possibility na patay na to' well if he's alive, it will took him a day to clean all the mess here and change it. Also the video, --

I think Angelique really want me to see this but there is someone who's blocking her to reach us and that is possible.

"Lost in the thoughts?" I heard Angelo whispered.Medyo nagulat pa ako sa biglang pagsasalita nito.

Yeah. "No"

Muli ako nitong tinitigan ng matagal na parang tinutukoy kung nagsasabi ba ako ng totoo. I looked away trying to ignore his stare hanggang sa marinig ko itong mapabuntong hininga. "It's okay, kahit ako ay naguguluhan din sa mga pangyayari. We will gonna solve this" sunod pa nitong turan. I look at him, he's now looking at Matt and others that are busy searching something and following the high energy they found.

"Sounds like we're detectives huh? " napangiti ako sa sinabi. I always like the thought of it. Isa ito sa mga rason kung bakit I join the group. There's something that brought spark on my heart knowing that we're solving mysteries and do adventures. Kakaiba ang nabibigay sa' kin tuwing iniisip ko ito. That we're a bunch of detectives trying to solve a mystery, every blood on my body get pumped up and my heartbeat start to race, there's an excitement feeling that gives and also challenge me.

"Yeah" sabi nito ng mahina at tumatango pa habang nakangiti

"What the hell is this!?" Agad akong napatingin kay Kiro . "It's like a hole. Come here"
