COURAGE
"That the killer has sufficient strength to carry a body in a short period of time. Let me remind everyone that the blackout before returning back its power lasted for only nearly less than five minutes no'ng buhay pa si Prisoner five I guess." sagot at panimula ko. "Tanongin ko kayo, gaano karami na kaya ang puwedeng magawa ng killer sa maikling panahon na 'yon?"
"Five minutes or less was the length of the blackout. During the first few minutes of the blackout, I assume that we all stayed in place while holding a random stranger's hand. Halos lahat pa nga sainyo ay naglabas ng saloobin dahil akala nating lahat ay tayo ang posibleng masunod na mamatay. But then, we heard Prisoner five pa during the blackout! Pinapatanggal niya sa katabi niya dahil pawis na raw siya. But we all heard many random footsteps, which we'll assume it's the killer's, Prisoner five's and one or two unknown. Shortly after, we hear a loud thud. Hmm, judging from the volume it cannot be a stomp of a feet... it must be..."
"A dead body?" tanong ni President sa akin which I shook my heads afterwards.
"I wouldn't say dead. But yes, a body. Someone had probably pushed Prisoner five's body which hit the most vital part of his head and bleeded until death."
"W-wait! Sino-sino nga ulit 'yong mga close kay Prisoner five during the blackout? Especially that Girl, na katabi niya before he went gone?" Barbie suddenly had a nice idea on listing out the suspects, by that, we'll know whether who's lying and who's not based on their alibis.
Apat ang nagtaas ng kamay. Surprisingly, wala sa dalawang suspect namin ngayon ang nagtaas ng kamay. Well, hindi rin naman kasi kami nakakasigurado na magsasabi sila ng totoo at sa totoo lang kahit naman hindi sila malapit kay Prisoner five ay may kakayahan pa rin silang pumatay sa kaniya. Ang maganda rito ay may malalaman kaming impormasyon na sila lang ang may alam.
Prisoner Thirteen; Prisoner Eleven; Prisoner Seven; Prisoner Four. Sila ang apat na nagtaas ng kamay at agad din naman itong binaba.
"T-then bakit hindi kayo nag-ttalk? Kayo ang near Prisoner five before he went missing! That's so suspicious ha!" ani Barbie sa hindi makapaniwalang tono.
"Interesting, wala sa dalawang nakakita sa bangkay ang malapit kay Prisoner five," asar na tingin naman ni Azazel kay Setsuna na walang naging reaksyon dito. He smirked before he clasped his hands. "Let's start with Prisoner Thirteen! You're always at your room, you never engage with people. I think you're plotting something."
Lahat kami'y napatingin kay Prisoner Thirteen na ngayon ay pawis na pawis kahit naka-aircon naman sa loob. Dahil doon ay lalo siyang napayuko sa kaniyang pwesto. Could it be him? If it's not him why would he get this nervous, no?
"U-uhm..." utal nito na walang minamataan ni isa sa amin. "I-I have severe anxiety. I only stay in my room because I was scared of the thousand possibilities that might happen kung lumabas ako. That's why... that's why I don't engage with everyone. B-but I didn't kill Prisoner Five! Yes, I'm also the one na nakahawak sa kamay niya no'ng blackout. P-please, I'm not the killer."
Lalo kaming naging interesado kahit pa-utal-utal at napakahina ng boses nito dahil siya raw ang may hawak sa kamay ni Prisoner five no'ng buhay pa siya. Ang tanong, sino naman ang nasa kabila?
"Ano namang nangyari pagkatapos niyong bitawan ang mga kamay niyo?" tanong ko. Tumango-tango sila na para bang ito rin ang tanong na kanilang nais tanongin din.
