Blood splatters on the ground. Stinky smell all around. No signs or clues that could give answers to the devastating case of two student's death. That's what Inspector Gonzales is dealing with, right now.
"Have you discovered any prints from this room?" Tanong niya sa partner niyang si De Lucas.
"Sorry sir, but for now wala pa po…" tugon naman nito.
Bumuga siya ng malalim na hininga bago magsalita. "Okay, if you might get clues already, report it back to me immediately"
With that illocutionary phrase of his, the other police inspector did walk away to go back to work.
Kaninang madaling araw pa lang silang nandito ng team niya nang natanggap nila ang tawag mula sa isang taga-bantay sa institusyong ito.
Kaso nga lang, nang dumating sila dito kanina ay dalawang bangkay lamang na hubo't hubad at may mga butas sa katawan ang nakita nila. Halata ring hinulog ang dalawang bangkay na 'yon mula sa 5 palapag ng building na hindi na ginagamit ng administrasyon. May mga dugo din kasing nakita sa dingding ng isang room doon.
Agad nilang inakyat at pinasok ang area na 'yon, kaso nga lang wala silang ibang nahagilap na maaring pagpatay sa mga biktima kundi mga matalim na kutsilyo, screw drivers, lubid, at tapes lamang.x
Normal classes are still going on at the moment even though there are already serious incidents these past few days.
Pagkatapos nang nangyari ay may tatlo na namang namatay pa sa iba’t-ibang area ng campus. Hindi alam ng awtoridad kung paano nakapasok ang culprit at gawin ang karumaldumal na pangyayari kahit nandoon ang ibang tauhan ni Inspector Gonzales."Asan ang mga bangkay?" Tanong niya agad nang nakababa na siya ng sasakyan.
"Binalot na po ng team, at dadalhin mamaya sa autopsy…"
"Pano ba nangyari 'to?" He hid a groan of frustration. He then let out an arm. "Reports. Give me the reports, asan?" Sunod-sunod niyang sabi.
Tahimik namang binigay ni De Lucas ang isang folder.
Upon scanning the files, inspector saw the other three victims who are also tortured and being left with holes in their bodies just like the other two students.
"…This is madness" said the Inspector.
x"Invi!" shouted by a preppy girl named Tessa. Students then turned their heads to the person whom got called.
Tessa ran towards her.
"Please, stop calling me Invi, Tessa!" She hissed yet Tessa just laughed because she still sounds innocent and calm.
"It doesn't suit you Invi. Anyway, you know naman why I call you by that diba…" Tessa turns pink.
Yeah. Tessa called her Invi since she's the only student who caught her fore-playing with one of the instructors here, who's Mr. Delgado. Tessa told her that she's too invisible that they didn't even realized she was there. Hence, they also became friends after that when Tessa told Invi everything even though she didn't want to know.
"My name's Lucia, and I'm being nicknamed Invi?" She cringed. "Ang layo pero cute!" giggles then follows.
"Oo nga pala, wala ka bang class?" tanong ni Invi sa kaibigan.
Ngumisi naman si Tessa. "Wala. Kaya naisipan ko na… samahan mo… ko?" Invi rolled her eyes, heavenward. And now she became a puppy.
"Bakit, nag-away ba kayo?"
Mr. Delgado and Tessa's set up stays fine for almost six months. At kapag nag papasama si Tessa sa kaibigan, ang ibig sabihin non ay nag-away sila at siya ang may kasalanan o 'di kaya miss na niya kasi hindi na nag paparamdam ang jowa niya.
Kumapit naman si Tessa sa braso niya at nanlambing. "Miss ko na. Gusto ko lang puntahan. Samahan mo 'ko, please?"
Invi sighed in defeat, and then nodded.
Tessa is the only friend she got here that's why she value her that much and she'll gonna support her friend in so many ways just to see a genuine smile on her face.x
It’s been ten minutes before Seven PM when they've gone to the faculty room. Wala na ring students sa mga oras na 'yon kapag Fridays, kasi maaga pinapauwi.
Nakatayo lang din si Invi sa may labas ng faculty habang hinihintay ang kaibigan niya at si Mr. Delgado na lumabas. It's been lot of minutes already kaso hindi pa din sila niluwa nang pintuan ng faculty.
Nag-vibrate bigla ang phone niya. Kinuha naman niya ito agad sa bulsa niya.
As she saw the registered name being flashed into her phone's screen. She bit her lip and glances back to the faculty door with a concern look.
She flinched upon sliding the green button.
"P-po?"
"Asan ka?" Kalmado pero ma-awtoridad na tanong nang tao sa telepono.
"School pa kuya. May ni-pass lang ako na outputs." Pagsisinungaling niya. She bit her index finer while eyeing the front door na natataranta na. Asan ka na ba, Tessa…
"Okay. Saang building ba 'yan? Sabay na tayo umuwi"
"Kasama ko naman po si Tessa…" na hindi pa lumalabas kasama loves niya. She rolled her eyes with the thought.
"Okay, punta na ako─” hindi niya pinatapos magsalita ang kuya niya.
"Ay hindi! Ako nalang po pupunta jan. Nasa site ka ng ini-imbestigahan niyo diba?" Natatarantang pang singit niya.
"Okay sige. Hintayin kita dito."
And just with that, the phone call has ended.
She sighed in relief.
Kung pupunta dito si kuya, baka malaman niyang may something na nagaganap dito.
She walks through the door and she just heard a sweet moan. She turns pink. Alam niya sino ‘yon. Invi turns her head to the side table, and there she saw Tessa and Mr. Delgado, french kissing. Her face pokers.
She succeeded on getting their attention, though clearing a throat. Tessa just grinned while her man's smirking and did kiss her neck again. Her friend's body also inclined with pleasure, and even closed her eyes.
Invi groans in disgust.
She waves up her hand. And as Tessa gazes at her, she mouthed the words, "I have to go…" she also wiggled her phone up. "Kuya called already!"
She obviously can see that her friend cannot endure the deep sweet pleasure given by the monster, but somehow managed to nod.
Umalis na din siya at pumunta na sa kuya niya.
