Sky Nemesis' Point Of View                          

May pasok na naman, urgh I hate mondays! Wish that I have a time machine and bring back the time. Some of the people thought that "monday" is a happy day but for me it is a torturing day. Seriously, five days of non-stopping torture and two days of relaxation, minsan pa nga may assignment pang kasama. Who the hell invented that?!

Papasok na ako ng gate ng Black Crystal nung tumunog ang relo ko. Pinindot ko ang answer button at sinagot ito.

"What?" Pagalit kong sagot.  

"Is that how you treat your father now?" sabi sa kabilang linya.

"Oh Ama, I thought it was. . . Straight to the point, why did you call? You know that I have classes to attend to."

"For your information young lady, we own the school so it is okay if you skip class, we can just fired those pesky workers or maybe kill them," dad answered me in a funny way.

"Seryoso, bakiit kayo tumawag?" I ask.

"Three agents down, at our very own headquarters! Report now."

Bumuntong hininga ako at saka ginulo ang buhok ko. Putter! Tang’na! Hayop!

Lahat ng mura pwede na. Malas.

Pinatay ko ang makina ng sasakyan at bumaba. Tinungo ko ang lokasyon kung saan naganap ang krimen. Nagkakagulo sa bandang iyon kaya naman ay nakisali narin ako, nakakita ako ng tatlong agents ang nakahandusay at wala ng buhay ang natagpuan ko doon.

"Miss Sky," bati saakin ni Maxwell. Tinanguan ko lang siya at tiningnan ulit ang mga bangkay.

I saw a small thing wrapping around the victims' necks so I ordered some of the agents, "Some of you bring these three in the lab, don't touch or get anything."

"I was wondering Miss Sky, who could kill those agents if they were inside the headquarters," wika ni Maxwell at napahawak sa kanyang baba.

"Malay ko. It must be a big snake from the headquarters," sagot ko sakanya.

"May punto ka, it must be a big snake from the headquarters," pagsasang-ayon niya.

"See you later," nagpaalam na ako.

"Have fun Miss Sky," he answers in a sarcastic way, like before his smiles were still there.

Pumasok ako ng lab at doon ko sinumulan ang test sa tatlong bangkay. "Damn," mura ko at pinagpatuloy ang test.

Kinuha ko ang maliit na bagay na nakasabit sa kanilang nga leeg at tinawagan si Detective Morgans, "Double 'OO9' Lab, report." Nakarinig naman ako ng katok mula sa pinto at iniluwa nito ang isang matandang lalake, "That was fast," komento ko.

"Can't let the princess do all the works eyh," wika niya at pumasok.

"Hey Detective, I know this isn't one of your care but may you please test this," I said to him and hand him the small strings from the victims' necks.

"Sige, ako na ang bahala," he said happily and grabbed the strings.

I ripped the shirts that the angents were using and throw into the trashcan. Nakakita ako ng mga sak-sak sa ibat-ibang parte ng kanilang katawan pero ang nakaka-interest ay ang mga sak-sak sa dibdib nila. Mukhang sinaksak sila sa dibdib ng tatlong beses. May mga letra rin akong nakita, dalawang letrang "M" at isang letrang "J" sa bawat katawan nila.

"Two M's and one J," bulong ko sa aking sarili. "Magic Makers stands for the two M's, I think. And for the J, judges, judge, jungle, huh?" Good now I become a psycho.

"I think it's better if you solve that problems later, but right now let's focus on the strings."

"Ah, what about those strings?"

"Base on the test, the strings was guitar strings, the first string which is 'E' string is used to leave a scar on the victims' necks, and it is the knives fault that the rabbits were dead."

I look at the dead bodies.

“Paano ang mga marka?”

"Maybe it's a clue," somebody answers from my back. I turned around and there I saw Maxwell standing in the front door--- smiling again.

"What's with the eavesdropping?" I ask Maxwell.

"Nothing Miss Sky, actually I am here to help you," he answers. I look at Detective Morgans, he seemed aware.

"I. . . I think he can help us," Detective Morgans answered while, sweating?

"Maaari ba akong tumulong?" Tanong ni Maxwell habang nakangiti parin.

"Si. . . Sige." Sagot ko.

"So as I was saying before, this letters might be a clue," wika ni Maxwell. "List it down please," utos ni Maxwell. Agad naman itong nilista ni Detective Morgans.

We all work hard to test the bodies and it takes six hours or more than six hours to test these freaking bodies. Gosh I am so tired.

"Sky, please let the both of us do the works, please rest," suggest ni Maxwell.

"Hindi, okay lang ako." I answered him surely.

"Please, you need to rest," pagsasang-ayon ni Detective Morgans.

"I told you I am fine," I said again. Stubborn members!

Narrator:

"But. . ." Detective Morgans words were cut.

"Let me handle this," wika ni Maxwell at tinusukan ng pampatulog ang dalaga ng hindi ito nalalaman. Agad naman niyang sinalo si Sky at binuhat, "I leave them to you now, Detective," bilin ni Maxwell kay Detective Morgans.

"Y-Yes sir," sagot ng matandang Detective at tumango.

Hinatid niya si Sky sa opisina nito at hiniga sa couch. Pinagmasdan nito ang mukha ni Sky at napangisi. 

“Ang mga bagay na hindi karapatdapat ay hindi dapat pinapatagal.”

Sky Nemesis' Point Of View

"No please don't leave me," pagmamakaawa ng isang babae sa isang lalake na nakahiga habang may bomba sa dibdib nito na nakadikit. Sinusubukan naman itong tanggalin ng babae pero hindi parin nito kaya. Hindi ko masyadong maaninag ang mga mukha nila.

"Always remember that I love you, even if you don’t love me,” sabi ng lalake sa babae. Patuloy parin ang babae sa pag-iyak.

"You are wrong, I was afraid to love again and I was afraid that someday you'll disappear because of me," wika ng babae sa lalake at hinalikan ito sa labi.

Tatakbo sana ako para tulungan sila pero huli na dahil sumabog na ang bomba. Naramdaman ko na may tumulong luha sa kaliwang mata ko hanngang sa nagsunod-sunod na ang mga patak.

Napabalikwas agad ako ng bangon. What kind of dream is that? Napatingin ako sa boung paligid, nasa opisina pala ako.

I massage my temple and close my eyes. Naramdaman ko naman na may isang luhang tumulo sa kaliwang mata ko. Pinahidan ko ito humiga ulit. Nang ma-realize ko na bakit ako nandito sa opisina at bakit ako nakatulog napatayo ako bigla.

I gasped.

"Sinong walangyang hayop ang gumawa nito?”
