Chapter 7: The Second Suspect

NANA'S POV

''So did I convince you? I'm good into disguise. Neither Atom recognized me at the first meeting namin sa plane na short blonde hair with pink highlights pa ako nun nor Wess, the one I caused his arm sprained sa parking lot nung naka brown curly wig ako with henna tattoo half of my face.'' I said.

"Wow! Ibang klase! Paano kung mahuli ka? Ako ang kinakabahan sayo eh! Di mo ba alam kung anong kayang gawin ng grupo nila sayo? Naku Nana, hanggang kelan mo ba gagawin yan?'' said Wynwyn.

''Until I figure out who among them the responsible for the death of Chanel. I need reasons why.''

I confessed everything to Wynwyn. Marami kasi siyang tanong. Sinabi ko ng lahat kung bakit ginagawa ko yun kina Atom, Wess at sa iba pa niyang tropa.

''So, willing ka bang maging partners in crime?'' I asked.

''I'm too much for a partner in crime! Duh!'' tawa ni Wynwyn.

''Then how do you want us to be called?''

''In honor of your late half-sister Chanel, why not BLUE ROSE since favourite flower nya yun.''

I said.

''Oh, I'm sorry couz."

''Nah, it's okay. Just keep our secrets. Don't let Mom and Dad figure out!'' banta ko.

''What?!! '' Wynwyn shouted.

''Blame me for being your cousin.''

We laughed out loud. Batuhan ng pillows, we're like real sisters. Namiss ko si Chanel. Dito na nga ako nakatira sa dorm ni Wynwyn, boring sa hotel namin, wala ako makausap.

''Basta from now on! We''ll be addressed as Blue Rose Hunter!! Oh 'di ba so cute!''

Malaki yung dorm ni Wynwyn, para ka na ring may studio type condo, two bedrooms. Solong anak kasi kaya spoiled. Kinostumize siya, kaya para ka na ring nasa high-end units. No boyfriend, flings maybe, childish kasi, maganda siyang morena at slim fit.

''Couz, alam mo ba, may bagong lipat jan sa kabilang dorm, and he's oooooozing hot." Wynwyn said.

''Like I care?''

''Duh, pag naging magaling ba akong partner mo, may reward ako?'' Wynwyn smiled evily.

''I know what you're thinking, slut.'' I smiled.

I'll bet she'll ask for another nude shower video.

''Kidding!'' Wynwyn said.

''You're freakin whore! Lil Wynwyn!''

"Who else doesn't want?'' Wynwyn laughed.

WESS' POV

''Ano? Nasa Singapore si Atom?''

''Yeah, kahapon pa siya nandun and he signed a contract dun for two years daw sabi ng manager niya.'' said the sister of Atom.

''Ayos din yun ah, hindi man lang nagpasabing aalis.''

''Biglaan eh, actually nagfile sya ng immediate dropping form sa school niyo. And what happened nga pala sa kanang kilay niya? Nakipag-away na naman ba siya?'' the sister asked.

Dropping form?

''Dunno?! Baka gawa lang yun ng babae niya.'' Wess said.

Dropping form? Nakakatawa! Akalain mong nagpaapekto sya ng lintek na threats na yun. Nababaliw na siya! Siya pang may sabi na ayaw niya magmodelling sa Singapore. Nilamon ka rin ng pride mo, Atom.

''Sige na! I have to go. I'm hanging up."

''Ok."

Hanggang ngayon masakit pa rin kanang braso ko at hanggang ngayon naka-support pa rin ng cast. I've never encountered such a martial art expert na babae na ganun kagaling. To think, physically mas lamang ako sa kanya. Bakit ba kasi ako ang nakantsawan na i-kidnap yung bartender na yun. Mali, fake bartender lang pala yun, ginaya lang yung suit. Braso ko pa ngayon ang napasama. Bullshit!

Hindi na tuloy ako makapag-practice ng martial arts at kickboxing. Pesteng babae yun.

Medyo hirap tuloy akong i-drive itong Mustang. Shit! Ayoko namang mag-taxi.

I'm on my way to school, mahaba yung hallway from gate to the main building so you need a car else get a ride. I peeked on my sidemirror, there this black Ducati came nearer my way. Halos lahat na naka-fourwheels, rare lang yung motors dito.

Mabilis din ito magdrive. Naka-black helmet sya, white jacket and jeans. Babae.

Ang laki ng Ducati for a girl drive.
I leaned on my sidemirror. Cool ng dating niya. I winked at her.

Balak pa niyang umover-take, kahit injured yung kanang braso ko hindii ko uurungan ang race na hamon mo.

I speed up driving! Get off my way. Takbuhan yung mga students. Sumilip ako sa sidemirror.

Ah, asan na yun? Saan na? Fcuk! Naisahan ako dun.

I stopped the engine in front of the main building. Unbuckled my seatbelt and got off from Mustang.

''Advantage sa amin yung shortcuts.'' she said while taking off her helmet. The wind blew her wavy  black hair, she's a meter away from me. 

Stunned. She's cool and beautiful on her simple get up. Black-longhaired tall woman.

Holy Shit. Siya yung babaeng bumunggo kay Atom sa bar?

Si Ms. Lemon Juice!

I scanned her from head to toe. Beautiful.

'' Aahhh!! Wess is here!'' one girl screamed. 

''OMG! What happened on his right arm?'' another girl said.

There you go. Nakapaligid na naman sila.

''Finally, I've met the owner of black Ducati.'' Sumandal ako sa hood at nagsindi ng cigarette.

''Does it matter Mr. Wess Chan? Glad to meet you again.'' Ms. Ducati said.

I don't bother introducing yourself. Everybody knows you.

''Nice. I'm wondering if  I were the one driving that Ducati with you--" sabi ko habang bumuga ako ng usok.

''Who's that b*tch? Wess' new girl? Err.''one girl said. Bulungan ng ibang students.

''Small world, you hadn't said last night na taga-Manhattan University ka rin, sorry 'bout Atom's act. Mind telling me your name Miss?''

Tinapon ko yung cigar saka tinapakan. Inayos niya yung folder saka bag niya,

''Call me Lemon.''

''Jesus, serious here!''

The bell rang.

''Save by the bell. Gotta go. Take care of your right arm, or should I say two arms. Bye.''

Tss, Baka two arms? Anong sinasabi niya. A threat? She isn't that a typical students here. Usually high-class, socialite, more on fashion, flirt, easy to get along. Sa dami nang na-i-date ko sa kanila ngayon lang ako nakatapat ng kagaya niya.

Ibang klase siya sa paningin ko. Ba't ngayon ko lang siya napansin. Lawak kasi ng school na'to.
