Sept 22
Dressing room of The Genesis where another member is murdered in cold blood.
"Time check?" Tanong ko sa mga forensics.
"12:00 a.m." sagot nila. I researched the body to find anything unusual. Aside from bracelet, necklace and bangles wala naman akong nakita. Until I spotted a mirror with a mark of number 12 written in lipstick.
Is this her dying message?
12?
Ininterview ko lahat ng staff, idols, assistants at ang manager nila. I am certain that someone inside that room is the killer. But, where is the weapon?
"She's only mine..." parang sirang plaka na paulit-ulit ang salita na nakalagay sa braso ni Lilian. Nakasimangot naman si Cel na iritang irita dahil sa damit nya. Matapos ang ilang oras ng pag-iimbestiga ay nag-palit na kami ng damit.
Just when we were about to exit the building ay may lumabas rin na kahina-hinalang lalake. Wearing an all black attire, puffing smoke from a cigar and holding a briefcase. Lalapitan ko na dapat sya ng pigilan ako ni Cel. May isa pa nga pala kaming kaso. I need to solve this before getting a new one.
"Napansin ko lang, do Genesis members have designated colors?" Tanong ko at humarap sa kanya. Pumorma naman sya na nag-iisip pagkatapos ay tumango. Kinuha nya ang notebook ko at nagsulat. I waited for her until she shoved it on my face.
Kyle=White
Lulu=Black
Mimi=Pink
Lilian=Magenta
Eight=Purple
Abby=Orange
Bonny=Red
Laura = Black
Leyla=Blue
Iana=Green
Rana=Yellow
Inekisan ko si Lilian bilang tanda na wala na sya. Samantalang, nilagyan ko ng MIA si Rana. She's still in the hospital because of a car accident. And it's impossible for her to commit the crime due to her area. Nasa Korea sya ngayon.
"Blackbird, huh?" Tanong nya. Tumango ako at ngumiwi sya. Nilapitan ko sya at binulungan. "Kilala ko na kung sino ang pumatay..." sabi ko at nanlaki ang mata nya. I'm not bragging anything but, I already knew it just looking at the dying message and the designated color.
"S-si-sino?" Nanginginig nyang tanong. Ngumisi ako at hinampas nya ang braso ko. Her eyes are pissed off kaya nag-seryoso na din ako. "I need you and Kyle's cooperation in order for the murderer to come out." Sabi ko at hinampas nya ulit ako. What the?! Aba, Idol na nga nya ang tinutulungan tapos sya pa ang galit?
Kalma, Sky. Kalma.
"I've got two possible suspects and you won't like it..."
"It's Lulu and Laura, isn't it?" Tanong nya. Nagulat ako sa bilis nyang ma-deduct kung sino man ang pumatay kay Lilian. "They have a motive on killing her. First of all, they're quite in love with Kyle..." Dag-dag nya. Sumakay na kami sa dala kong motor.
"At, ang murderer ay ang obsessed na obsessed kay Ate Kyle." Sabi ko. Time to catch, your dark lover, Kyle Angeles.

Principal's Office
"Ano bata? May lead ka na kung sino ang pumatay?" Tanong ni Tito Tupak. Tumango kami ni Cel at sinabi ko din kay Tito Tupak kung ano ang mga kailangan para mahuli ang pumatay. We need the member's cooperation except from Laura and Lulu. I already deciphered the mirror message with the no. 12 in it.
It means L.
And only 2 girls have the motive to kill Lilian. I mean madali na ang binigay samin na clue ni Lilian and she even gave the answer. Nasa pangalan na nga nya yun eh.

*flash*flash
"Genesis! Be alive!" Sigaw ni Mr. P sa mga babae na solong pinipicturan. We already oriented Ate Kyle what to do. Pumasok si Ate Kyle kasama si Lilian while holding hands and whispering to each other.
How did that happened?
We asked for Cel's older cousin to make a prototype identity changer.
Et Viola!
Nagsilag-lagan ang panga nina Lulu at Laura. Sino ba namang hindi? Saan ba kayo nakakita ng patay na, nagp-photoshoot pa! Mabilis na pinapwesto sina Ate Kyle at Cel sa studio. And their theme?
Blackbird's Sin.
Holding a copy of the mirror with the number 12 in it, unti-unting nilapit ni Cel at Ate Kyle ang mukha nila. They were about to 'kiss' nang mamatay ang ilaw. A scream which came from Lulu alerted us. And to our shock, we saw Cel suspended in the air with a pair of black wings and Ate Kyle on her side wearing an angel wings. It was part of the plan were we can catch the murderer.
They were grasping on Lulu. And the latter was holding her hair ornament. Napasinghap ako nang tanggalin ni Cel ang maskara at nagsalita.
"Give up! Blackbird!"
"12 reflects the number 21 which is a solid evidence that can be used against you! 12 means L and 21 means letter U." Mahinahon kong sabi.
Matapos ang ilang minuto na pangungumbinsi nila kay Lulu ay umamin na ito. She was crying.
She even told us that she's Kyle's best friend but Kyle had an accident which caused her to lose her memory. She only wanted to be noticed by Kyle in a romantic way. And she needed to 'get rid of possible competition' which explains why Cel was shoved inside the storage.
All was well.
Not.
After that case ay bumalik kami ni Cel sa school with consequences. Autographs, Handshakes, Stalkers, Quizzes and Exams. After the celebrity killing buzz died down ay nag-back to normal na kami nina Aly, Niño, Night, Joanna at Cel. It seems that both of us will have a rough week. Especially, Cel.
She's the new elected Magnanimous Student Government President. Which is higher than mine. Syempre, she's a well-known Psychology Student, she even became an idol and most of all her attitude. Down to Earth sya sa mga tao. Never syang nag-yayabang. Kahit na sikat na direktor ang Papa nya at sikat na manunulat ang Mama nya.
Ako naman ang na-elect na President sa Shadow Council. No. It's not a shady organization. We work alongside the MSG, to help them in such cases. In short words, Utusan kami. Sanay na ako. Sa Spencer Mansion pa nga lang eh. Don't worry di naman ako maid doon. Butler lang hahaha.

"Sumabay kayo sa beat! Cel and Sky!" Utos samin ni Night na pawis na pawis. Nagpra-practice kami nina Aly, Niño, Night, Joanna at Cel para sa upcoming school festival which is open for everyone. Even for pickpockets, murderers and robbers.
"C'mon be more seductive! This is tango! Not Waltz!" Sigaw nya ulit. Konting linis na lang at magagawa na namin ang hinanda naming surprise. Matapos ang ilang minuto ay napaupo kami ni Cel sa sahig ng dancefloor at uminom ng tubig nang may pumasok kaming ka-batch na babae. Humihingal at garalgal syang nag-salita.
"My... my bestfriend... suicide..."
