FC Arcade Series #1: Q
He needs a cook for his nephew. . . and she's the perfect candidate.
-----
Shantrie Qin is a private detective who was looking for a cook for his nephew, one who can pass all his tests. But to his dismay, none of the applicant...
"SABI PO NG mga police officers, ikaw raw po ang tatawagan ko dahil magaling ka raw po sa mga ganito," nakayukong saad ng babaeng kaharap nila. Nakaupo ito sa one-seater sofa.
They were sitting on the table set. Katabi niya si Elisheva na ngayon ay pinagmamasdan ang babae.
"You're Lolly Dolly, right? The vlogger?" Elisheva asked, and there was no emotion in her voice.
Kita niyang medyo napakurap ang babae dahil sa boses nito, kaya 'di niya maiwasang mapangisi. This woman can make people's hair stand on an end. Damn.
The girl licked her lips and looked at her fingers which she kept on fidgeting. "Yes po."
Elisheva brought her palm to her chest. "Nice to meet you. I'm Elisheva Quirace, the detective's partner in crime—literally. How should we call you, Miss?" Her voice was still cold as fuck, and he could already imagine those emotionless orbs staring at the woman in front of them.
"D-Dahlia na lang po. My name is Dahlia."
"What brought you here, Dahlia?" Elisheva leaned forward. Kalmadong-kalmado ang boses nito ngunit mapanganib.
"I'm here because of this po." She grabbed her handbag and opened it. May kinuha ito sa loob, and when her hand came out from the bag, they saw two envelopes in between her thumb and index finger.
Nilapag ito iyon sa mesa na nakapagitna nila, and he picked the envelopes up and give the other one to Elisheva. Binuksan niya iyon at kinuha ang puting papel na nasa loob. Kumunot ang kanyang noo sa nabasa.

The letters were written in red color, at puro mga numero iyon. Hmm. . . the sender must be a lover of codes and ciphers, huh?
Well, malas ito because that's what he's best at.
Elisheva showed him the other letter, at puro mga numero ulit iyon na nakasulat sa pulang kulay.

"Akala ko po no'ng una, nagkakamali lang po ng padala because my name is not Ada. Pero no'ng dumating ang isa kahapon, doon na po ako nabahala. And my boyfriend also told me na alarming na raw po at dapat ko nang i-report."
