NINETEEN.
"I think every website nor webpage about the Amazons have been removed." Narinig kong sabi ni Hunter kay Van pagkapasok namin.
"Van, really? Anong ginawa mo sa hotel room natin?" I irritatingly asked.
Our hotel room is full of wires and laptops and they are all here researching. The couches have been pushed to the end of the room at nilipat nila ang dining table sa living room at nandun silang lahat naka-upo in front of their laptops.
"Research Lab?" He answered pero parang patanong din ang boses na ginamit niya.
Umirap ako, "Research Lab? Really? Nagmukhang computer shop ang room natin." Inis kong sabi, he chuckled.
"Atleast we found something." Sabi niya while shrugging his shoulder. "The symbol we found on the corpses? It's the symbol of Amazons." Van added
"Amazons, as in the race of female warriors?" Thean asked.
"Yeah. Sila nga. And every single thing on the net about Amazons have been removed. And our internet connection was lost also kaya hindi namin mahack ang ibang websites." Van explained.
"It's like they don't want us to find something about them." Lora said habang nakaharap pa din sa laptop niya.
"Well, I do remember some things about the Amazons." Sabi ni Ken, right, I remember nung hinack ko ang files ni Mom at cinopy lahat ng creatures na nandoon.
Inalala ni Ken lahat ng natatandaan niya sa Amazons, he said the Amazons are like humans also, but much powerful, so they can die like a human, we can just shoot them or what. He said that every two years, nagrereproduce ang Amazons.
"We'll kill the whole race?" Tanong ni Night saamin nila Thean.
"Hindi pa natin alam kung bakit nila pinapatay ang mga lalaki at nilalagyan ng symbols nila kaya hangga't hindi natin alam, we won't do anything, yet." sabi ni Thean
"Yup. Bakit nga ba nila pinapatay ang mga lalaki? For fun?" Tanong ni Jirve, napairap ako
"Don't you all use your brains? Sabi ni Ken, Amazons reproduce after two years, that means nakikipag-mate sila sa lalaki, and base on our investigations on the men that died, they all go to the same bar, and have a fling and then after two days, they all died." Pag-eexplain ko so their poor brains would understand.
"You mean, pinapatay nila ang nakaka-mate nila after two days?" Henri asked, I nodded.
I looked at Van only to find out he's staring at Thean.
"Thean, where did you meet that Rose?" He asked. Oh shit.
Thean's face became pale, "In a bar." He muttered, Van faced-palm.
"Well, we're still not sure kung si Rose ay isa sa mga Amazons. You need to visit her again, Thean and investigate if she's one of them." Sabi ni Van, trying to encourage Thean.
"What if she's one of them?" Tanong ni Night, napatingin ako kay Thean
"Then Thean is in deep trouble."

"Where's Azrael?" I asked Van when I saw him alone in his room, ang akala ko ay nagpapatulong siya kay Azrael sa paghahanap pa ng ibang informations.
He shrugged, "May pupuntahan daw siya saglit" He answered.
My forehead knotted, "Don't you think Azrael is doing something for the past few months?"
"Yeah. It's a bit strange." Sagot ni Van uli pero hindi niya ako tinitignan.
"So, where's Thean?" I asked again, nakatulog kasi ako kaya hindi ko na alam ang ginagawa nilang lahat.
