A/N: The clash between the QED-4/Execom and Augustus begins!
LORELEI
TODAY IS the day.
Umagang-umaga pa lang, nag-meeting na kami agad sa execom office. Loki and I went there early. Halos kakarating pa lang yata nina Maggie at Rye noong dumating kami. Alistair came next, then Jamie after him.
Kung normal execom meeting lang 'to, other members would have been here as well. But since we're dealing with a serious investigation, Maggie locked the door and kept the conversation among the only people in the room.
"As you all know, mamayang gabi na ang solidarity night natin," paalala ni Maggie sa amin. "We may be having a plot against Augustus, but we still have to do our duties as execom members. Mamayang lunch time, aayusin natin ang interior design sa grand hall at ipe-prepare ang mga material natin. One of which ay ang mga confetti na ginupit n'yo galing sa mga crepe paper."
If we weren't investigating anything, cutting confetti would have been our greatest achievement as execom members. Mabuti na lang, pinayagan kaming imbestigahan ang liquidation reports ng Clarion. This would probably be the biggest case that we and the execom would solve, kung palarin.
"Now let's talk about the real plan." Ipinatong ni Maggie ang kanyang mga siko sa mesa at ipinagdikit ang kanyang mga daliri. We leaned a little closer to her dahil bahagya niyang hininaan ang kanyang boses. "The event this evening is only a smokescreen for what we're about to do."
"I think the more appropriate term is a cage," Loki spoke. When Maggie glared at him, he added, "...Madam Chair. We need to keep Augustus and the entire Clarion staff in the grand hall while we're executing our plan."
"Normally we can't stop them from leaving the venue and going elsewhere," sagot ni Maggie sabay hawak sa bridge ng kanyang salamin.
"But my Loki dear thought of a brilliant plan!" singit ni Jamie habang pinapaikot ang dulo ng kanyang naka-braid na buhok sa kamay. "Isn't that right, Loki dear?"
Loki nodded. "For my plan to work, we need the cooperation of the campus police under Inspector Morgan Morales. The last time we spoke about this, the vice president said he would persuade the campus police. Until now, we haven't heard anything from him. Was he slacking off? Or did he intentionally fail to convince Inspector Morales so he can botch my plan?"
Kay aga-aga, may episode na agad ng "Why I Hate My Brother?" Ni hindi pa nga niya natatanong mismo ang kuya niya, meron na siyang assumptions.
"Yesterday, when I was summoned by the student council, Luthor told me na kakausapin pa lang niya si Inspector Morales," sagot ni Maggie. "When Luthor says he's going to do something, he's really going to do something."
"He's only next door naman, 'di ba?" tanong ni Alistair sabay turo sa pader. "Maybe we can ask him directly if he's already talked to the campus police chief."
