CHAPTER 24 : WHO ARE YOU

CHAPTER 24 : WHO ARE YOU

"Kill's rest house? What does that suppose to mean? Anong kinalaman noon kina Roy?."

"Roy are meant to be meeting someone the following day after he was murdered."

Napalingon kami sa nagsalita. Si Pierce.

Nagkatinginan kami. Hindi pa kami nagkakausap mula ng mapatay ang ama niya.

"Sorry." aniya

Batid kung para sa akin iyon. I don't know exactly why he is sorry. Maybe , for what his father did or maybe because he didn't figured it out earlier. Hindi rin naman siguro siya kasabwat diba?

"There's no time for that right now. We need to focus. Pagkatapos ng lahat , doon na lang tayo humingi ng tawad at magpatawad. We seriously need to focus." Si Riley.

"It's fine." baling ko kay Pierce.

It's not fine for me that Quill betrayed us but I can't blame him for being his son and didn't figured out that his father is a traitor. It's not his fault. I know he didn't mean any of this.

"Hindi ka naman kasabwat diba?."

Nagkatinginan sila ni Riley.

"I—

" I know him , Erica. Trust me." sabat ni Riley.

I nod.

"Let's get back to this."

Inilahad ni Riley kay Pierce ang mga nakuha ko sa apartment ni Roy.

"Do you know anything about this?." tanong nito kay Pierce

"No this exactly. But I am one of the leading investigator on Manang and Erica's case. And when we figured it out that Viktor is after vengeance with all of you. We put anyone that could be the next target on a surveillance. A day before Roy and Clara was murdered. Roy called me. Ang sabi niya ay may tumawag sa kaniyang lalaki. Hindi niya kilala. The caller told him that they will be the next target and he want to help them. He told Roy to meet him the following day somewhere in Isla  de San Diego."

Archive 36 , Isla de San Diego is the exact address Roy should be meeting with him.

"Roy asked for my advice. I said he needed to wait until we  verified it. I'm worried that it could be a trap since killing them in the open scene would risk the chance of the killer to escape since they are already under surveillance.  I thought it could be the suspects tactic to lure them into some place where the murder could be done clean and the killer have a safe getaway. I never told anyone about it since he said that that caller advice him not to tell anyone."

"Roy and Clara was murdered the very night of that day." I said.

Pierce nodded.

"The plan is to kill them three day ahead. The caller told him that."

"Ibig sabihin napaaga ang pagpatay sa kanila."

Pierce nodded at Riley's statement.

"Bakit?." tanong ko.

He paused for awhile.

"I don't know at the second it happened. I thought the caller did  did a trap. Sinabi nito sa kanila na tatlong araw pa lang bago sila papatayin and that made them think they will not be murdered that night. But I'm wrong. Palagi kung iniisip kung bakit nangyari iyon and I remember."

He paused again.

"Remember what?." kuryusong tanong ni Riley

"I remember. I told dad about what Roy have told me. I was thinking that time that he could help. He's a senior Raven. He was my idol. My role model. He knows more what to do. I told him about the caller and everything Roy said to me. I ask him what should I do. He said it was a trap and that Roy shoulder not follow the caller. Tatawagan ko sana si Roy sa umagang iyon para wag ng pumunta pero wala na ang mga ito."
