Blood from Roses

B E L L

I summoned the boys to our hideout. The three boys went on time, they know how I hate late and lazy ass. It's been a month since the disaster happened.

The media went crazy when CCTV footage was seen online.
It shows a person pointing a knife to someone.

I wanna punch that person who ruin our plans. Mga istorbo, epal, at pabibo.

I was busy sipping on my hot choco, Luke just came straight to the prison. Trevor comes from his home and Adhi is jumping on his rope in the open area.

The man who always exercises. A weird but masculine sad boy.

"We already got permission to enter their apartment." I announced

"Why is it late though? I glared at Luke. His existence pissed me off, always.

"Because the family wants to know now. The funeral was held last week. They didn't enter the house so we could investigate. It was hard for Cindy since her relatives are outside the country while his father is missing. After two days of being in a coma, she can’t speak. She has dissociative amnesia."

"I'll visit the hospital later." Trevor volunteered,

I nod, "Alright, then Adhi and Luke will come with me. "

Adhi stopped exercising then grabbed his towel. "Are you done?" He asked, as if he will be saying something that is more important.

I nodded my head to answer. Why am I always pissed with them? Lol.

"Alright, so I need to tell this now as I was able to confirm it." He continued,

Trevor placed his hand on the keyboard. "Go, I'm ready to type."

Grabe, never ko ata siya makikitang makinig ng hindi nag titipa. Laging nakatutok sa kanyang laptop. Konti nalang ay habang naglalakad eh.

Luke laughs as loud as he can. This man is a hot mess. He is really weird yet sexy. "You're really no fun, you're always on your laptop."

I wanna stop praising these three.

Trevor glared at him then looked at the screen. "Shut up, stùpido." It's my turn to laugh.

"You're both weird, Let's continue. We have so many things to do." I bit my lip to suppress another bunch of laughs.

Adhi grabs a small box from his pocket. "After this Luke, I need you to legalize it."

Luke nodded.

Before Adhi shows the box, he gives us the envelope. "The autopsy already released its report for Andrei's body. It was different from each medical examiners. "

Trevor scanned the reports. "It's getting worse with each report. "

I cringed as I I continue reading it. Ibinaling ko ang tingin sa tatlo na mukhang busy rin sa sa pagbabasa.

"OMG. They're still torturing the body even though it's dead. Where is his freaking forefinger and tongue?" I exclaimed.

"Is this even serious? It's creepy. He even had surgery before and a suture even after his death. The internal wound is much worses that I thought--"

Adhi interrupted Luke. "Yes but they act like it was nothing. They said someone might be wrong. It depends on the Pathologist."

I laughed sarcastically. "They really thought we would buy the reasoning? They're the stupidest."

Luke raised his hand to reach for mine but I decided to ignore him. So instead he clapped with his own hands. "I'll let that pass because you're funny."

Pinigilan ko ang pagsilay ng isang nakakalokang ngisi at umirap nalang.

"Anything else?" Trevor

Adgi raised his hand to show the small box. "Nope, it was found on his body. That is why he had a suture. "

Adhi opened it in front of us. "Right, this box contains our last alas. The key."

Because of that, I suddenly feel goosebumps. I am fvcking nervous but of course I won't admit it.

Trevor went to the hospital to check on Cindy. She is still in her bed, the Doctor said there is progress. Meanwhile, I, Adhi, and Luke are now inside Cindy’s house.

The investigation shall begin. I am enjoying this, and the house is good too.

"It smells like a house." I scoff then give Luke a serious look.

I put my hand on my waist then gazed at Luke. "If you won’t say anything useful, shut up or better go." This man always wants to make me mad.

Luke smiled at me then looked at Adhi. "Adhi, you should go, she wants us to be alone."

I gave him a disgusted look.

Adhi smiled at the two. "You guys look good together."

EXCUSE ME?!

I opened her mouth to complain but then decided to shut it. It’s not worth it. I left them then went to one room. Luke and I, we? No way! That's the most impossible thing that could happen in this world.

Not when fish start walking.

"Lol, you better move Corrado, Trevor might grab the chance." I heard Luke, teasing Adhi.

"Hey!! Don’t say bad words!"

I saw on my peripheral vision how Luke shrugs then walks to the kitchen. It’s time for them to focus.

It's time for me to shine.

After minutes of investigating each side and objects, I thought I wouldn't be able to find one. Not until I see what I am seeing, I smirked. "You need to see these guys!"

It's enough for them to hear me. Seconds later we are now gathered.

I pointed to the opened drawer. "Remember the chant? Die, blood, die… It’s a knife and a neckerchief stained in blood. There’s a f-forefinger. There’s a black rose petals here, and a liquid which I supposed is the drug. "

Luke placed his hand to his mouth, like he was about to puke. "Is that Andrei’s? "

I didn't answer but I went outside the room and went straight to the living room. I bent down and pointed to the center table. "I am not yet done, cry, r-red, cry… Shout, run, and h-hide... A candle for cry, and his tongue for shout, red represents the liquid and blood. It was hidden… they run,"

Adhi pointed the radio next to a lampshade. "Hymn, R-rhythm and S-sing! The radio! we need the tape…"

"This is crazy! Andrei has the tape." Luke figured out.

I smirk, things start to unfold. You, traitor, should get ready.
