Since Sid is not yet home, I decided to clean our House cause I think it's kinda messy. Back to what I was asking, I was cleaning Sid's Closet when I saw a pair of surgical gloves and a mask on his own closet. What does this things doing on his belongings? Hindi ko maintindihan. Nurse na ba ngayon ang asawa ko? O di kaya Doctor na ba siya? Inayos ko sa dating pagkakaayos ang closet nya para magmukhang walang gumalaw. I continued cleaning when suddenly, I heard doorbells. I stop cleaning to check whose outside.
"Sino yan?" I asked bago ko buksan ang gate dahil mahirap na, kailangan kong mag ingat.
Walang sumasagot kaya sinilip ko ang pagitan ng gate pero wala namang tao. I open the gate to see only the box left outside. I look around hoping to see the person who left this box but I see no one so i pick up the box and bring it inside to see what it's up to. I examine the box before opening and I see a card written a letter "O" on it. I open the box and surprisingly, I saw a pair of surgical gloves and a mask na katulad ng nakita ko sa closet ni Sid.
"A-ano ibig sabihin n-nito? Sinong "O" ang nagpadala nito?" I saw another card inside the box so I read it. Ito ang nakasulat..
YOU ARE IN A BOX. GET OUT THERE AND SOLVE YOUR BROTHER'S LIFE.

"Brother? But Im the only child and I don't have siblings?" I asked confusingly to my self.
"OH MY GOSH! BRENT. HE'S IN DANGER!" I panicked as I deducted it was him.
How in the earth can I decode this one? The clue is, I'm in a box. Get out there. Pero pano ko malalaman? Box. Box. Box is square. Box is squar--WAIT! POLYBIUS SQUARE!
"This is a Polybius Square!" I exclaimed. (If you want to know what Polybius Square is, just search it on my friend named Google. Neeeee~ But here's the picture below)

Since the riddle said Box, and a box is square, I assume na Polybius Square ang kailangan kong cipher dito.I started decoding this codes at ang lumabas ay.
"CAR ACCIDENT?" I stood up and get my phone to call Brent pero ring lang ng ring.
"Please Brent sagutin mo." I'm panicking on the thoughts.After 4 dials, He pick up the phone.
"THANK GOD. WHERE ARE YOU OLD MAN? DONT YOU EVER USE YOUR CAR!" I exclaimed as he pick up phone.
"W-what? W-why?" He stutter.
"Walang preno ang sasakyan mo Brent! Someone disabled your brake." I explained clearly.
"Sira ka ba? Gutom ka ba? Ano bang nangyayari sayo? I'm on my car now at gumagana naman ang brake nito dahil nagstop ako sa convenient store kanina." He said so I get shocked.
"How did that happened?" I asked Brent.
"Happened what Blaise?"
"Nah uh. Nevermind Brent! I'll go ahead. You better be safe ok? Bye." Hindi ko na inantay na makapagsalita si Brent at pinatay ko na ang tawag. I look at the box infront of me.
"Honey I'm Home!" I heard Sid's voice outside.
"Shocks! Si Sid!" Dali dali kong kinuha ang box at umakyat sa kwarto namin para itago ang box sa closet ko. After that I pretend sleeping. I heard the door open.
"Blaise?" Footsteps coming towards me.
"Blaise? Blaise?" Sid shake me gently.
"Hmmm?" I pretend na I just woke up.
"I'm home" Sid hold my face to wake me up. Umupo ako at kunwaring nagkusot ng mata.
"Kumain ka na?" Nagkunwari akong naghihikab para. Kunwari bagong gising.
"Not yet. Get up there at may dala akong Jubilee bundle meals. Let's eat cause Im starving and it makes me think that I wanna eat yo--"
"LET'S EAT NOW! GIVE ME 3 MINUTES TO WASH FACE YOU PERVET!" I cut him off before going to the bathroom. Pagkasara ko ng pinto, napasandal ako dito at napabuntong hininga. I calm my self bago lumabas ng cr.
"I thought you'd wash your face?" I saw Sid sitting at our bedroom. Akala ko lumabas na sya?
"E-eh a-ayy oo nga pala" shocks! Nasa labas pa pala sya. I wash my face then lumabas na ko ng CR. Nakapagpalit na pala sya ng pambahay.
"Let's go?" He extended his hands infront of me. I nodded in response before I hold his hand.-*Buuurp*
"Oops" I cover my mouth after burping.
"Hahahaha. Cute" Sid pinch my nose as he stare at me.
"Nakakainis naman to!" I tap his hand.
"Ahhhm Sid?" He stood up to clean the table.
"Can I ask you ahhm question?" I stare at him while he's cleaning.
"Ask what?" He stop what he's doing and look at me.
"May nakita kasi ako sa cabinet mo na ahhm pair of surgical gloves and a mask. Do you mind if I ask you what was that for?" I fight his stair.
"You see what?" He get closer to me."A pair of surgical gloves and a mask." I pout and look at my feet.
"Where did you see that?" He hold my chin up to come up with his stare.
"At your cabine--" He cut me off by pulling me upstair until we reach our room. He open his closet.
"Where are those?" I confusingly asked him.
"I don't know to you" He said.
"B-ut. But" kinalkal ko ang damitan nya to see nothing but only his own things.
"Ano bang nangyayari sayo? May lagnat ka ba?" Kinapa nya ang noo ko.
"Sorry. Naglinis kasi ako kanina kaya ko nakita yon. Siguro guniguni ko lang. Sige na maghugas ka na ng plato dito muna ako" I close his closet and turn to face him again.
"Are you haluscinating? Honey?" Inakbayan nya ko then kiss the top of my head.
"Hugasan ko lang ang mga plato. Pahinga ka na sweetie I'll be back for a minute." He again kiss me on the lips before leaving the room.
"Hayss. Am I crazy? Baliw na nga siguro ako" I slammed my body to the bed and stare at the ceiling.
I know there's something wrong with this. I think I have to make my investigation wide. There are crimes na kala mo perfect. I will not look for the crime pieces instead, I will look for the dust that will lead to that sindicate mastermind.
