[ EARLIER ]

Habang naglalakad kami palabas ng base para pumunta sa mission ay binasa ko ang report paper na pinadala ng mga 'Owls' o ang ikalawang uri ng mga Hunters ng tribe namin. They serve as the observers of the outside world of our tribe. They are solitary hunters that keep an eye on everything that are needed to be oberved such as cases, danger, and other important events.

Kumbaga, ang mga 'Eagles' ay ang mga primary attackers habang ang mga 'Owls' naman ay ang mga watchers.

[Case No. 411]

Three families were found dead on their houses with all of their bodies hanged on the ceiling after having their breakfast. (attached photo)

Each cases happened at 5:55am, 6:30am, and 7:15am.

Based on the crime scene, these three families ordered the same brand of milk that were just delivered before the incident happened. (attached photo) Signs of food poisoning is negative. After the third family's death, three individuals were regarded as suspects or involved in the case after the third family's neighboor saw them entering and leaving the house before the family were all found dead.

Unfortunately, the stranger was unable to identify and clearly describe what the three suspects looked like but were noticed carrying a container that wasn't brought before they went inside the house.

-Yoo, Owls

That's one weird case. Nakasulat din dito na sabi raw ng mga pulis, suicide ang nangyari dahil sa nakitang mga katawan na nakalambitin at nakatali ang leeg sa ceiling. Pero bakit naman sila magpapakamatay? At bakit may mga suspects? Anong motibo nila kung sakaling murder man ito?

Pero ang mas hindi ko maintindihan ay kung paano nalaman ni Sir Kai na mga vitanturs, residing outside our base, ang susunod na magiging biktima? Eh hindi naman nakasulat dito sa report.

Is this because some informations were kept between the Owls and Mentors only?

Well, siguro nga.

[ PRESENT ]

The father immediately opened the door with an angry confused look still drawn on his face. And was shocked when the two guys were already in the front door.

"Anong ginagawa niyo dito?" mahinahon at mahina niyang tanong sa dalawang lalake.

"Binibisita ang matalik naming kaibigan." nakangiting sagot ng lalaking matangkad na may matikas na katawan.

Napahinto sa paghahanda ang ina nang narinig niya ang pakikipag-usap ng kanyang asawa. "Patrick? Sino 'yan?" tanong niya.

Napalingon ang amang si 'Patrick' at pinapasok niya ang dalawang lalake sa loob. "Ah, nandito sina Alfred at Robert,"

"Oh! Kayo pala 'yan. Napadalaw kayo? Ah, hali muna kayo't mag-almusal na kasama namin." pag-anyaya ng asawa ni Patrick. "Dito na kayo maupo Alfred at Robert,"

Tumanggi sina Alfred at Robert dahil tapos na daw silang kumain kaya umupo lang sila sa hapagkainan kasama ang pamilya ni Patrick.

Unti-unti akong kinakabahan. Maya-maya lang ay talagang may masamang mangyayari kung hindi namin mapipigilan ang ano mang masamang balak ng mga 'to.
