-Start of Detective Cheszrah's Story "Behind her whisper"
I lay down to my bed and let out a big sigh. I've solved another crime again. I smile with that thought. Yes, I am one of the ordinary detectives in the Philippines and my task is to solve crimes. I am Cheszrah Montez, 21 years old, young to be detective right? but I just want to follow my mother's path. My mother... I smirked and wipe the tear that escaped my eye. "Stop with that thought silly Cheszrah", I murmured. I felt tired so I decided to go to sleep.
I woke up around 4:00 am. I used to wake up early so I can do all my morning routine and start to walk to our agency. It's just a walking distance from my apartment but it will take 20 minutes walk. I arrived exactly 5:00 am. Stevan Detective Agency, that is our agency. "Good Morning , Detective Ches! ", he greeted. I nod my head as response. He's Detective Dominic Stevan, son of the owner of this agency. He is my partner-in-crime so he knows me too well and he also know that I'm not into talking. As I sit in my swivel chair, the telephone rang. "Hello this is Stevan Detective Agency, how can we help you? ". "M-may n-na-nakabitin na b-babae d-dito sa m-may puno-o", nanginginig na wika nya. "Where is that place? ", I asked. "*toot* *toot* please, check h-her". "Okay we're on our way". I end the call and immediately pack-up.
When we arrived in the place, halos mapaupo ako ng makita ko yung babaeng nakatali sa lubid at walang buhay na nakabitin sa puno. Nakamulat ang kanyang mga mata at tila nangungusap. Memories are keep flashing back kaya napakapit ako kay Detective Dom. Umiling-iling ako, dapat inuuna ko muna 'to. There's no room for my fears in this job. "Are you okay?", Dom asked."Yes, I'm fine", I answered. He gives me his worried look but I just gave him my slight smile as I look in the woman again. Some of us are taking her down and we start our investigation.
Informations:
Name: Zeanny (zi•ni) Palma
Sex: Female
Age: 22 years old
Status: Ex-married; Single
Others: Living alone, Has a big financial problem because she has no work and no one accepts her as an employee.They were discussing and discussing but I'm just staring at the woman's dead body. It is possible that she commited suicide, but I notice something, something strange. "This case is closed, we figured out that this is a mere suicide because of her financial problems...",one of the leader of the agency said. I'm not sure if he is right but I need to follow because they already closed it.
3 days passed like a blur. But I'm still bothered with that woman's death. It's already 11:00 pm and I still can't sleep. I am reading a book when I suddenly felt that someone is watching me. Napasigaw ako ng makita ko kung sino yun. Sya yun, sya yung babaeng nakatali sa lubid at walang buhay na nakasabit sa puno. Si Zeanny, suot nya parin yung damit nya pero parang naggoglow sya na parang multo. Multo pala talaga. Kumurap-kurap ako at namutla. A tear escaped her eye. "T-t-tulong", and with that she cried. "Tulungan mo ako, hu-hu-hustisya". She disappeard. Napahawak ako sa dibdib ko dahil sa takot. Hustisya? Bakit kailangan nya ng hustisya? Totoo ba ang hinala kong di sya nagcommit ng suicide? Halos di ako makatulog at nang pumasok ako sa agency ay para akong lutang na naglalakad. Should I investigate it myself? Should I? Should I? "You should, I know you can, please help me please, please , please", she whispered in my ear. Nung lumingon ako ay nakita ko syang unti-unting nawawala. Biglang bumukas ang pintuan nagulat akong napatingin duon "Good morning!" I sighed. Si Dom lang pala. I've already decided, I'll start my investigation later after I take a nap. I'm so sleepy. "I'm so proud of you,anak. Help her, I know you can help her. You are the best detective I've known " She was smiling at me while she's saying those words "Yes mom. I can and I will. I love you". That scene disappeared and the picture of Zeanny appeared as she mouthed "First of the third, Start of the war, Part of the face, It's on never .Goodluck and thank you Detective Ches" she smiled and disappeared.
