Detective Chronicles

Chapter 2

K I A N A

Kaming dalawa lang ni Zeus dito sa clubroom. Sa wakas! Nasolo ko din siya hihi. Buti naman nakaramdam naman si Maven at umalis na.

"Baby...-"- I was cut by him by saying

"Where's Maven?"- tanong niya. Tss wala na nga siya dito pero nanggugulo pa din siya tsk

"She said she's going to get some refreshments"- sabi ko

"That's weird. The vending machine is just right below this floor. She should be back for now"- sabi niya.

"Baka naman may pinuntahan na iba. You know, ang boring kasi dito"- sagot ko. Nagulat naman ako nang tumayo siya kaya napatayo din ako pero mas nagulat kami ng may isang babae na pumasok sa clubroom.

"Oh ayan na pala si Mave"- sabi ko

"Where's the drink?"- Loki asked

"A-ah naubos na"- sabi ni Maven at hindi makatingin ng diretso kay Zeus. That's odd. I narrow my eyes at her but I got suprised when she looked at me and smile... wickedly. Then suddenly she jump to Zeus and snake her arms to his waist. B**ch!

"Woah. What happened to you?"- Zeus asked a bit suprised. And here I am fuming mad. Humanda ka Maven!

"Babe~, do you mind if we go out? ~"- she said batting her eyelash. Eh kung kalbuhin ko ang pilikmata niya?! Pero mas nagulat ako ng ngumiti at tumango si Zeus. What the?!

"Okay. Kia, maiwan ka muna dito sa clubroom at 'wag kang aalis"- sabi niya habang nakatitig sakin. It's like he's saying something. So I nodded.

Matapos nilang lumabas ay napaupo ako. Weird, si Maven ba talaga yon? The way she talks, the way she look at Loki. Parang may kakaiba. Kumunot ang noo ko, Maven also batted her eyelash. Wait a second. I was startled when my phone beeped. It was Zeus

From: My Baby Zeus ♡♡

Maven is missing. Call Riley. ASAP

I gasp. I knew it! Hindi si Maven yon! Maven never use fake eyelashes because her's is natural! I immediately call Riley and told him what happened and he said he's on his way at malapit na siya.

Maybe I need to help a bit too. Pero nagtataka ako kung bakit pumayag pa si Zeus na sumama sa pekeng Maven na yon? Silly Kia! Syempre siya ang dumukot kay Mave! But something's odd, I just can't point it out.

Bakit kailangan pa na magpadala ng pekeng Maven?  Bakit nila dinukot si Maven? Anong motibo nila?

I went straight to the vending machine and saw a can of coffee. Sinalat ko ito at medyo malamig pa, maaring ito ang dapat inumin ni Maven. So she's been kidnapped here huh? Who could that be?

I walk roam around the area and I almost stumble when a girl with a geeky eyeglasses bump at me.

"Hey! Watch it!"- I scold her

"S-sorry"- sabi ni nang nakayuko.

"Tss tumingin ka kasi sa dinadaanan mo"- sabi ko at tumalikod na pero napaharap ako ulit sa kanya nang...

"Ikaw si Kiana Alvaran diba?"- tanong nito sa isang matalim na tono

"Ako nga. Bakit?"- sabi ko at umiling na siya.

"You're helping her, why? Hindi ba ito ang gusto mo'ng mangyari? Why help her now? Are you having change of heart Kiana dear?"- sabi nito at tinalikuran na ako.

Anong ibig niyang sabihin? I blink and run after where she left pero wala na siya. That girl. Malakas ang kutob ko na may kinalaman siya dito.
