I felt my phone vibrated so I took it from my pocket and looked at the screen.
1 new message received.
From Sven?
I opened his text message and read its content.
I smirked. So that’s the answer to why I have this feeling that I’m missing something huh? The missing link on this case…
To: Sven
Good job. Tnx.

I smirked.
JTR huh… we better end this game…
I browse my contacts and dialed Nickan’s number.
SOMEONE’S POV
“Grabe yung natagpuang bangkay dun sa may likod ng gym noh?”
“Sinabi mo pa! sabi nung mga naglalaro sa gym, may narinig daw silang sunud-sunod na putok ng baril bago sila nakaamoy ng parang nasusunog eh!”
“Sobra siguro yung galit nung pumatay sa kanya! Brutal!”
An evil grin has curved in my lips.
Sinara ko yung book na binabasa ko at saka tumuloy sa music room.
That’s so nice to hear. So she followed my advice eh? Now it’s getting closer… I’m getting near the finish line…
Napatingin ako sa hawak kong cellphone nang makita kong may tumatawag dito.
“Hello?” I answered.
“I’ve already killed him. What should I do next?”
I smirked as I felt so much excitement.
“On the next 10 minutes, you should make your way up to rooftop of the admin building. From there, you jump down. After that, I promise to take care of everything..”
“You’ll take care of everything?”
“Yeah… I’ll take care of everything. There won’t be any sufferings anymore. You will be the last.”
I heard her sigh.
“I’ll do it.”
I ended the call. Kinuha ko yung binoculars sa bag ko at tiningnan ang kabilang building. Nakita ko siyang kararating lang ng rooftop.
Napalunok ako sa excitement…
Sumandal siya sa may harang at pagkatapos ay tumalon pababa. Ibinaba ko ang hawak kong binoculars.
I can’t help but laugh.
“Hahahahahahaha,” sa wakas! Sa wakas! Wala na siya sa landas ko!
“Mind if I join your happy hour?” napatigil ako sa pagtawa. Napalingon ako sa lalaking pumasok ng kwarto.
“Ikaw yung..”
“I’m Euclid Shellingford, isang detective.”
“Isang detective? Tsk! So anung maipaglilingkod ko sa’yo… Mr. Detective?”
“I want you to confess your crime… JTR, or should I say.. Ms. Joanna Romulo?”

(Back to Euclid’s POV)
“What? Anong sinasabi mong krimeng ginawa ko?” maang-maangang tanong niya.
“Yeah it’s true that you do not use your hand to commit any of those crimes but you are the one who manipulates their minds!”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about Mr. Shellingford!”
