YORK CUREI'S POV

Two days na ang nakakaraan at may kanya kanya nanaman kaming mundo. Nandito parin sila Zion at Zoey pero pansin kong may mali. Si Nash naman wala masyadong nag bago, si Casper? Ganun parin. Weirdo. Naging weirdo pa lalo. At si Zone. Naging mas tahimik.

Bumaba na muna ako sa sala since 7 na din ng gabi. Hapunan na. Kaso pag dating ko sa sala, ang bigat!

"Hoy! Ano to? Papanisan ng laway? Aba panalo na si Zone jan!" Biglang bumaba din sa hagdan si Nash at binunggo pa talaga ang balikat ko. "Sadya Curei."

"Don't call him by that!" Napatingin naman kami kay Casper na nakatingin na samin ni Nash ng masama.

"Oy pareng Casper nandyan ka pala? Lalo kang tumahimik eh! Hahaha." Hindi sya sinagot ni Casper at tumayo ito, nag lakad paakyat sa hagdan at iniwan kaming nakanganga. Badtrip?

"Tsk! This is bad." Napatingin naman ako kay Zone ng bumulong sya. Pero nagulat nalang ako ng makitang nakatingin ito sakin na para na kong lulusawin. I gulped when she did the same. Tinagilid nanaman nya ang ulo nya at nakamasid nanaman sakin.

"She's reading you idiot." Bulong sakin ni Nash kaya napatingin ako sa kanya. Tinapik lang nya ang balikat ko at nag lakad na papunta sa kusina.

I looked again at Zone just to see her still staring at me. Kahit na nakakailang, tiningnan ko nalang sila Zion at Zoey at pilit na iniiwasan ang mga matang nakatingin sakin. Kaso ang dalawa tulala naman.

Ano bang meron?

RYU ZOEY'S POV

"Lets go." Sinuot ko na ang backpack ko at tumakbo na kami ni Zion palabas ng apartment na tinutuluyan nila Zone. Kailangan na naming umalis. Kailangan naming malaman kung ano ang kailangan ni Sharpay. Hindi sya normal. Alam kong hindi.

"Zion Woodsen, I'm telling you this, the Sword... kung hindi mo mabibigay sakin yun, Goodluck."

Yan mismo ang sinabi ni Sharpay kay Zion, sinabi lang sakin ni Zion yan. Sword? Anong sword kaya yun?

RUE ZONE'S POV

I follow every moves they make. They going home without saying goodbye each of us. Zion and Zoey, what's goin on?

"Sword?"

I can read Zoey's mind. What Sword? Why in the hell he needed sword?

Since that they wanna leave without knowing, I've decided to let them go. Maybe I'll just talk to them some other time.

"They are up to something." I didn't notice that Casper were here beside me.

"Maybe." I answered.

"Lets go. Don't mind them." He grab my arms and we jump off the tree.

No matter what Zion and Zoey, by hook or by crook, I'll know what's up to you. Soon...

NASH'S POV

Another day to go...

Alright! Let see. Ano ba pwedeng gawin ngayon? Tsk!

4 days na kaming nakatunganga dito sa apartment. Wala pa kasing tumatawag samin eh. Si Casper ganun pa rin, naging weirdo pa lalo, si Curei naman ewan ko. Ganun pa rin. At si Zone. Madalas syang wala. Hindi ko alam kung saan sya pumupunta pero sure akong nakakaexcite yun. Pag susundan ko naman kasi sya hindi ko na maabutan. Laging nawawala nalang basta basta.

*kring kring*

Sinara ko naman na ang ref at nag punta sa sala kung nasan ang telepono.

"Yeah, sure." Si Curei na pala ang nakasagot ng tawag.

"Who's that?" I asked.

"Oliver. Another case." Sa sinabi nyang yun para akong nabuhayan. Ayos!!

"Nice. Ang laki ng building na to ah!" Curei commented when we finally here infront of the place of crime.

"Oy! Nandyan na pala kayo! Buti naman. Tara na sa loob." Sumunod naman na kaming apat kay Oliver sa loob. Pag pasok palang nakakamangha na talaga.

It's a building. Yeah, and kakaiba ang hugis nito. Nakakapag taka nga eh at the same time nakakamangha. Kasi kung pag tatabihin ang building na unang kaso namin na si Mr. Cruz, sa pangalawang kaso na si Mr. Del Mundo at etong ngayon, mag kakamukha ng building. I mean, yung design. Parang pag pinagdikit mo may mabubuo kang imahe. Astig!

"Illegal ang negosyo ng biktima na si Mr. Dela Fuente. Isa syang drug lord na nag bebenta sa pinas pero dito mismo sa building na to nya ginagawa ang mga iyun at ii-import nya sa pinas. He died cause of too much drugs he inhaled." Paliwanag ni Oliver. Nasa loob na kami ng kwarto kung saan nakita ang bangkay ni Mr. Dela Fuente.

"May suspects na ba?" I asked. He nodded and he grabbed the papers at Curei who's now reading it.

"Ronnie, Terrie, David and Chris. Hawak sila ng pulis ngayon kaya hindi na muna sila makakaalis. Natanong na din namin sila kanina pa at nandyan na din ang mga naging sagot nila." Kinuha ko ang papel at binasa ang mga allibi ng bawat isa sa suspects.

"Ronnie, he was a jannitor here and suppose to be cleaning at the lobby when the incident happen. Terrie, she's at the CR that time and she suddenly heard a scream and she knew it was Mr. Dela Fuente. David, at the control room cause he is the technician of these building. And Chris, he's with the victim during that time but he survive cause he's wearing mask. Why did he wearing mask? Maybe he's the culprint."

"Don't judge." Zone said. Nakita ko namang syang nakatayo sa may desk ng kwartong to. I was about to asked what the heck she's doing there kasi nakatayo sya dun mismo sa desk na yun ng bigla syang tumalon pababa at nakita ko na may hawak syang papel.

"The clues are where you find the note." She read what's on the paper and I just did realize something.

The suspects given us some clues...

Nice.
