XVI : Who's behind the message

XVI. Who's behind the message

-SOFIA-

Were here at the classroom, kaming pito ang nandito, which is 'yung mga kasama kong umalis ng hindi nagpaalam. Pinapapunta kami ng adviser namin para kausapin kami and I think na tototohanin nga ni sir Jerick ang balak niyang pag-iwan sa amin dito.

"Guys! Makinig naman kayo, I need your cooperation, I need you all to be careful, wag kayong padalos-dalos. See what you did? Aalis sila dito at hindi ko sila mapigilan, I can't contact our principal! And I think we will  stuck in here," she said, we all know that we dissapointed her and I feel bad for that. She's our adviser and more like our second mother. I agree with her but we can't stand here, we can't bare to lose another.

"Yeah, were very sorry ma'am." I apologize, what will happen to us here?

"It's okay, nasaan ang katawan ni Khyla?" she asked, she already knew about Khyla's death. Nakapagtataka lang dahil parang hindi man lang natataranta si ma'am o nagpapanic, it's like everything's normal, our classmate is dead, it's that even normal? Were talking about lives here!

"She's in the black house, sa unang room." Khristene said, were planning to bury Khyla's body since hindi kami pwedeng umalis dito, hindi pa alam ng kamag-anak ni Khyla na patay na siya, hindi namin alam kung papaano sasabihin ang nangyari, ano kaya kung palabasin nalang namin na naksidente si Khyla? Pero wala naman kaming pinagkaiba sa skwelahan namin kung itatago namin ang katotohan pero kung ilalabas namin ang totoo, may maniniwala naman kaya?

Ang gulo, sobrang gulo.

"Guys, don't stress yourself too much. I will handle this situation and even Khyla's body, ako na ang bahala sa lahat. Now, go to your rooms and get some rest or take a nap, okay?" we just smile and nod at her.

-ULY-

I glance at the paper that I am holding. This is the paper that the killer put in Khyla's hands after killing her.

I stared at the message.

"Rescuers on the way, just wait for your lucky day."

That's the message on the front, but in the back..

Risk 0118051212011415

Risk? And what's the meaning of this numbers?

Risk..

Risk..

Risk..

Wait, R I S K ..

S I R K..

K I R S..

K R I S..

Kris?! What the fvck! It's Kris! But what about the number? 0118051212011415

Wait, hindi kaya na ang nga numbers na yan ay stands for his last name?

Kumuha ako ng ballpen at nilagyan ko ng corresponding letter ang bawat number at hindi ako makapaniwala sa nabuo ko.

A R E L L A N O

I knew it!

Kris Arellano! He's the next target! I need to warn him!

"Where's Kris?!" pasigaw na tanong ko ng makarating ako sa lobby ng hotel mula sa kwarto ko. "What's the problem Uly?" Cedric asked me, hinawakan ko siya sa balikat habang mabigat at mabilis parin ang paghinga ko.

"I need to see him! Sabihin niyo na sa akin kung nasaan siya!" sigaw ko, nahihirapan akong magsalita dahil sa hingal na hingal ako pero I need to talk.
