Case 8: The Mysterious Friends
of Little Sylvia (The Beginning of
the Night Chapter, Part Ten)
ROSALINDA
MANY THINGS happen, and it is connected to my father's work, that's what Doyle told me but I cannot seem to believe it. Should I begin reading his works? Also, about the map that Baal told us. Even though how indenial I am, I still cannot hide the fact that everything seems to have connections.
About the seven tapes, until now I still can't believe what I have seen. But, if I can remember it correctly. According to Baal, everything in the tape lies behind it. But, where are the lies?
I have to watch it again, and be more observant as I gather more information about the tapes. It will surely give us leading progress in searching for lies within the tapes. It seems that Lilith really likes filming a lot, because of what Baal said in that last tape, I believe. But, why is she filming for? I doubt that she wouldn't do it because she likes it - is there another reason?
Napatigil ako sa paglalakad. No, I shouldn't be the one who's investigating the tapes and get information or evidence to claim that the tapes are merely an act, it actually happens or to bring up the lies within the tapes. That's the police job and not me, and I'll give that work to Detective Joshua.
Before I could enter my room, a tall student stood in front of me. Bahagya akong napaangat ng tingin para sipatan ito ng tingin kung sino man ang humarang sa'kin. It's Dmitriy. Based on his determined face, with a worriness in his eyes makes me think that he needs help.
"Do you need something?" I asked, calmly as I faced him more appropriately.
"Rosalinda, pwede ka bang sumama mamaya sa amin para samahan ang pinsan kong magkaroon ng sleepover to her friend's house?" He asked, and it seems that it's very urgent, I guess the sleepover will happen tonight. "Mamaya ang magaganap na sleepover nila ni Sylvia doon sa bahay ni Alexa, even though they are not friends nor close because she was having a difficulty in making friends - but even though the situation of hers, Alexa and her other friend want to be friends with her. But, I don't want to leave her alone there, alam mo naman kung anong maaaring mangyayari, hindi ba?"
I sighed as I crossed my arms. "I don't want to go with you but it seems that you actually need help, you cannot take care of her yourself." I continued. "Wala naman akong gagawin mamaya, alright, I'll go with you."
Medyo magulat ako nang hinawkan niya ang magkabilang braso ko, but he holds it very gently a sign that he doesn't want me to get hurt from his huge hands. Gumuhit ang maligaya nitong ngisi dahil sa natanggap niyang sagot mula sa'kin. "Thank ya, Rosalina! Wag kang magaalala, babawi ako."
"No need," I told him as I shook my head. "Your favor is not hard anyways, no need to pay me with your kindness." I rest assured him and give him a smile.
"You're so kind!"
"... I'm not." Pabulong kong sabi sa sarili. Staring at him makes me think that he is a dog wagging his tail because he gets what he wants. Kumpara kanina na parang sasabog na ang utak nito dahil sa stress. He stresses himself too much even just a few things.
"By the way," inilayo na niya ang kaniyang mga kamay sa'kin. "I've been calling ya on yer messenger last friday, but you are not answering. Are you busy that night? Just asking if yes or no, and no need to tell me the full details."
