The Prophet's Lost Poet

02: Watch out

Do you know that sad people are the scariest? because you wouldn't know what they can do to be happy.

That exhibit represents freedom, it shows how wonderful it is to be free. Freedom, a thing people would kill to get. There's war, sacrifice, escape, and paradise. Every floor is an adventure.

What could be the secrets of every floor?

And who could be the murderer on the last floor?

"My name is carnation" isang babae sa kanyang mid 30s ang nagsalita. Halata sa kanya ang karangyaan na tila ba binuhusan ito ng mga ginto.

"I am his wife." she said and raised her left hand to show the big diamond on her ring finger.

"Ano ang ginagawa mo nung mga panahong nag uwian na ang lahat ng mga tao?" tanong ng detective

"I am looking for my purse. On the 2nd floor" said the lady called carnation.

"Sa buong 44 minutes ay naghahanap ka lang ng wallet?" tanong muli ng detective

"Purse, detective. Purse." Pag tatama ni Carnation. "And yes. The whole 44 minutes I was there , finding my purse. It's not worth losing, it's 25 million pesos."

"Nahanap mo ba ang PURSE mo?" isa pang tanong mula sa detective

"I did. Here." said Carnation and showed her beautiful purse covered in tremendous diamonds. The detective understands why it's worth searching for the whole 44 minutes. But that didn't remove his suspicion towards the lady in front of him.

"Ethan Mortis Vanderbilt" a handsome boy in his glasses spoke. The only son of william, the victim. It is obvious that he's smart, he doesn't seem like someone who will talk nonsense.

"Ano ang ginagawa mo nung mga panahong nag uwian na ang lahat ng mga tao?"

"I was with my sister, Elynne. We were in the operating room. 3rd floor. It's sound proof since it operates music and such, like the 4th floor." 4th floor...doon namatay —hindi, pinatay ang biktima.

"Hindi kayo lumabas sa buong 44 minutes na patay ang ilaw?"

"No" Ethan said emotionlessly

"Maaring bang malaman kung bakit?"

"Elynne doesn't want to go." This time, he seems careful and interested. Like he really wants to protect his sister.

"If you want to ask why, you should ask my sister." Ethan spoke again

***

"Elynne Morise Vanderbilt po" said a soft lady, she seems peaceful and quiet. She's the first daughter and there's only one thing to say. Elegance.

"Your brother, Ethan, minention n'ya samin na ayaw mo raw lumabas sa operating room, bakit?"

"Umm I am scared of the dark po eh" she said and smiled a little. She really does seem like someone you would want to protect.

"Iyo yung exhibition, bakit hindi ka naglagay ng cctv? Aren't you afraid of people stealing your art?"

"No po, and my exhibit represents freedom of course it's not freedom if somebody's watching you" the girl said and giggled a bit.

"Roselyn Miller. His ex-wife" isang babae ang nagsalita, halata sa kanya ang katandaan pero hindi pa rin maikakaila ang karangyaan

"Maari ba naming malaman kung bakit ka nasa loob ka ng exhibit ng gabing yon"

"The truth is, nasa labas na talaga ako that time but I noticed that my children, Ethan and Ely are nowhere to be seen so pumasok ulit ako trying to find them"
