(Heavy breathing)
... Anna's heart is thumping as if it's going to burst. She's been running so long, the sun shines so bright streaking through her hair revealing it's hazelnut color. Anna's tired and she can't feel her body anymore but she can't stop running, she has to get away. It's too hot and she's sweating all over her body but she feels so cold. She's pale and nervous that she can't feel her blood flowing. She kept running until her body run down and fell.
Anna woke up and feel shallow, she tried to get up but she's being pulled by something, behind her she heard footsteps coming her way, Anna feel down and out that she did not bother to turn around and see who is behind her, she just cried and begged the person what does she need to do to let her but the person did only mocked her "oh! How I love this view! I just wish that you could see your pathetic self" the voice laughed. As soon as Anna heard this voice she knew what will come along. She was stunned by what's in front of her now, she wants to say something but her tongue won't move. She can't think of a reason why and how did this happen to her. She can't believe that this is how she will end up. She gathered all the remaining strength that she have but before she was able to say a word the person get ahead of her...
"You lose! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA" Anna's sister laughed, Anna frowned and get up to where she is, pick up a pillow and throw it to Diana, her sister. Twin sister.
" You cheated! I planned it all, I'm supposed to be the winner here and then... Ugh!" Anna groaned.
" Why don't just accept the fact that I'm better than you are? " said Diana as she tease her twin.
Yes, Anna and Diana are just playing a game, they are girls yet they love to play hardcore games. Maybe because their parents are both police persons and they inherit their interest in doing thrilling stuffs.
It's summer and their parents are out of town, just the perfect day for these two young ladies to goof around. Anna felt tired of the game so she get out of the room and took her way to the kitchen, she opened the fridge and was disappointed when she didn't find what she's looking for — ice cream.
"Diana have you eaten the ice-cream here in the fridge?" Yelled Anna.
"Nope! Hihi" Diana answered with a great beam in her face.
"I knew it! You ate it and you have to replace it. Get up! Get up! Get up!" - Anna
Diana don't have a choice so she get up to the bed, pulled her wallet out of her closet and took Anna to come with her and buy ice cream. Passing by to the stores something caught their attention. They have tried things that they think would make them wet their pants but this one is different, this feels like it's their first time and they can't take their eyes off it.
It's a dead man surrounded by it's relatives, friends and some policemen. They went closer to the setting where they can hear clearly what the people are saying. "It's noon and Mr. Noel haven't come out of his room since morning so I decided to go to his office. At first I am doubting since he is the type of person who doesn't want to be disturbed when he is inside his office but still I took courage to enter his office and was surprised when I saw him lying on the floor. Dead and cold" the maid answered the policeman.
"Were you able to enter his room this morning? If yes, can you tell us what was the last thing he did before you left his room? Is there someone whom he met before he died?" - detective
"We have searched the crime scene and it was discovered that Mr. Noel died bacause of poisoning" - inspector
"The poison was from the drink he had taken" added inspector.
"Why is it that Mr. Noel is the only one who was poisoned?"- detective
"Because of the cake, the poison is on the coffee and the antidote is on the cake" the inspector explained.
"Who served the food?" the detective asked.
"It was Mr. Noel's wife, Liza" Cory butted. "It's obvious that it is her, can we go home now? You have wasted a lot of our time."
"Y-yes I served the food but I swear to God that I did not kill him. Why would I kill my own husband?" Liza cried.
"Isn't it obvious? It is to free yourself from him!" Cory answered.
"And by the way, you know it well that Noel is diabetic so he will not eat the cake you served." Cory added.
"W-what are you saying? It was you whom my husband last met, you said you want to discuss something about him so you wished to talk to him privately and when you come out of the room you look mad and started to act strange!" - Liza
"Come on Liza! Everybody here knows that you and Francis, my husband, are having an affair. That is what I had discussed with your husband and was disappointed when he said that he knew it long time ago and did nothing." - Cory said with anguish.
Liza went mad at Cory and grabbed her then pull her hair, as she grab Cory's coat, something fell. Francis noticed it so he pick it up and gave it to the inspector. The inspector was surprised by what he saw, it was the poison that caused Mr. Noel's death.
"Then why do you have this?" - Francis said as he pointed his finger to the small bottle that the inspector is holding.
"What? What are you talking about? What is it? I don't know where did that come from!" Puzzled, cory answered.
"This is the poison that caused Mr. Noel's death" the inspector said.
"W-what? It's not mine!" Cory shouted.
"No Cory! You killed my husband and you are caught already, don't deny it!" - Liza
"I did not kill Noel! Believe me! You! You're trying to frame me! You two did this!" Cory growled.
"But the last time you entered this house was last week, we don't have the chance to put the poison to your coat if that is what you are trying to imply. You didnt also remove your coat as you enter this house" Francis said.
"If you will say that I put it in our house, its not possible as well. You know well that I dont come home anymore." added Francis.
"Ehem!" The detective purposely coughed to get everyones attention.
"The maid told me that mr. Francis once threatened Mr. Noel when he did not lend him money. Is that true Mr. Francis?"
"A-ah y-yes but..."
"How dare you! I thought were clear? I broke up with you already, is this how you want to get back at me?" Liza cried
The detective just listened to the arguments as he analyze the murder case.
Is it Liza who served the food and wants to get away from Mr. Noel and continue her affair with Francis? Cory who was driven by her emotions when she knew that Mr. Noel acted cowardly and did nothing about the affair their partners had been committing? Or Francis who envies Mr. Noel for he have both Liza and the wealth?
The detective continued to roam around the crime scene until he saw something that will complete the puzzle he is solving. He knew that there us something wrong with Mr. Noel's death and it was confirmed by what he just found.
Everybody's showing hostility, they are blaming each other revealing their shortcomings. They were only silence by what the detective revealed.
"Enough! I know who the killer is." said the detective.
"There's no one to blame, the killer is none other than Mr. Noel himself. It is a suicide and not a murder."
...
Everybody's confused.
"Mr. Noel went bankrupt just this month and he was blaming these 3 people. His wife Liza is cheating at him and never supported him which causes depression. His friend always borrow money from him and would threaten him if he did not lend him. He had a conflict with Francis last time when he did not lend him some. He purposely do it to make him as one of the suspects of his tragic death. And lastly Cory who seemed innocent of the tree did play a big role as well, she's blackmailing Mr. Noel and she uses his name to create big money, just like his husband.He knew them very well and he doesn't want to sink alone. So he wants to drag them with him with this plan of him." Explained the detective.
The detective throw a notebook at the table. "It's Mr. Noels diary, it's all written there."

Meanwhile, the twin are still watching and was amazed by what they had seen on the television. They hope that one day they will be the one solving cases and not just watch it. And so they continued their walk towards the ice cream house.
