"Time's up" nakangising sabi ng lalaki kaya nangamba ang lahat sa bus, nasan na ba sina Trinity? Biglang may pumasok na lalaki na may hawak na laptop
"Lets start" sabi ng lalaki at binuksan ang laptop kaya agad itong nag-on at lumabas dun ang logo ng Hive bago mag-blank ang screen "First question" sabi ng lalaki sabay ng paglabas ng isang text sa screen.

Dостог
Those were three words pero naiintindihan ko yun ng maayos "Walang sasagot?" sabi ng lalaki "Si Dr. Jose Rizal" sabi ng Grade 8 student na si Firon
"Seems like ligtas kayo ngayon" sabi ng lalaki kaya lihim akong napalunok. God, let us be safe.

"Hoy Gonzaga! Pahinga muna ako, please? Gutom na ako eh" pagrereklamo ni Christine "Will you stop it, woman? I already bought you one box of donuts, hindi pa ba sapat yun?" sabi ko habang pinagaaralan ang bagong kaso na in-assigne sakin
"Naubos ko na" sabi niya at ngumuso kaya napailing ako "Not my fault" sabi ko at tinuon na lang ulit ang atensyon ko sa computer when a sudden knock interrupted
"Inspector Gonzaga?" sabi ni Ivan sa pinto at sa mukha pa lang niya ay alam ko ng problemado siya "For the last time Ivan. I am not a mechanic to fix the coffee machine" sabi ko at napasapo ng noo
"Hindi po yun, may pinapabigay si Chief sayo" sabi niya at pumasok ng office pero kumunot ang noo ko sa sinabi niya "What is it?" tanong ko kaya may linagay siyang folder sa harap ko
"Tumataas ang death rate ngayon at nalaman lang namin na dahil ito sa isang game developer" sabi niya kaya kumunot ang noo ko at kinuha ang file "Game developer?" tanong ko kaya tumango siya
"Yes. Ngayon-ngayon lang namin nahuli ang isa sa mga players nito at nalaman namin na the game gives money when they kill the assigned target at nalaman din namin na pili lang ang makaka-download ng app" sabi niya
"What's the game called?" tanong ko "Bounty. Its a game where you hunt and get points and the amount of the points you get by killing is the total amount of money that will be transfered to the player's bank account" sabi ni Ivan
"Do you know who's the one behind it?" tanong ko kaya umiling siya "No, the one transferring the money is still unknown" sabi niya kaya napasapo ako ng noo, who would do such thing?
"What is the killer's intention to even make this game?" tanong ni Christine na kanina pang nakikinig
"That's why the Chief is giving this case to the both of you" sabi niya kaya gulat akong napatingin sa kanya na nakatingin din pala sakin, seriously? Sa lahat, siya pa talaga?
"Why her?"
"Why him?"
Sabay pa namin na sabi "Because you are a pro in your department" sabi niya at bumuntong hininga
"Look, I know the both of you are not in good terms.." he trailed off making me scoff "Like its not obvious" sabi ko at umiling
"Good thing you know" sabi ni Christine kaya napailing si Ivan samin "But you don't have a choice, both of you are assigned to this" sabi niya bago kami iwan kaya napabuntong hininga ako, who would want to kill this people and use players as pawns?
Whoever it is, that guy's a freaking genius. Binasa ko ulit ang file at sinuri ng mabuti.
Name: Dean Tachibana
Age: 18 years old
About: was last seen with one of the billionaire's body guards that is still not identified.
"Seems like we have a hacker on our hands" sabi ni Christine kaya napalingon ako sa kanya na nasa harap ng computer niya
"I pulled some strings and it says here that Dean Tachibana was a con artist and hacks into banks and he fooled fifteen business men in total, he was only thirteen when he was arrested kaya hindi siya kinulong" sabi niya kaya napatango ako and she slightly gasped
"And it says here that Dean Tachibana is one of the most known hacker, at kung titingnan mo he will be ranked second kung may ranking man ang mga hackers. Damn! Kids this days, dati-rati naglalaro lang ako at wala pa kaalam-alam sa mundo" sabi niya habang umiiling kaya napaisip ako, Dean Tachibana was last seen with unidentified billionaire?
Why would someone take a eighteen years old boy? Except if they want him to do their illegal bidding. Napatigil ako sa pagiisip ng biglang mag-vibrate ang cellphone ko telling me that I have a message.
From: Drake's Love Interest
Inspector, Code Black.
Napaawang ang bibig ko and I know what it means. In my relationship with Journalists Club we use codes to indicate how dangerous the situation is and Code Black means Hive is involve.
Biglang nag-ring ang cellphone ko kaya agad ko itong singot "Trinity? Hello? Anong nangyari? Is Drake okay?" sabi ko
"They are taken up as hostages on the way to Bicol, hindi pa naman sila malayo. We stopped to get help, rescue them Inspector. I can't contact any of them anymore" her voice was begging kaya naging mahigpit ang pagkakahawak ko sa cellphone
"I'll do everything I can" sabi ko bago binaba ang tawag at liningon si Christine na nagtatakang nakatingin sakin "Who's Trinity?" tanong niya pero mabilis kong kinuha ang coat sa swivel chair ko and took the gun from my desk's cabinet
"Call for reinforcements and track my coordinates" utos ko bago walang pasabi-sabing lumabas ng office.
I took my phone and looked at the tracker I put on Drake's cellphone, and the red dot was not near but not far as well.

Mariin akong napapikit and pulled my tears from falling when he pulled the trigger.
He shot Sir Antonio on the shoulder ng hindi niya magustuhan ang pagtatanggol ni Sir sa isang senior high "Why does people like to be heroes now a days" sabi ng lalaki at binaba ang baril na nakatutok kay Sir.
Three injured
One dead
While answering questions, walang pasabi-sabing binaril ng lalaki sa ulo ang driver ng bus kaya mas lalo kaming nag-panic and he said that it was just a warning.
Three was injured, isang senior high na lalaki na kasama ng babaeng prinotektahan ni Sir Antonio, he was shot on the leg, while another faculty member sa shot on the hand and lost her pointing finger but were grateful na may kasama kaming medicine student sa bus
"Captain, papunta na dito ang mga police" sabi ng kasama nitong lalaki "Retreat. And Ms. Ward?" sabi niya at tiningnan ako kaya bigla akong nangamba
"I was ordered to give this to you" sabi niya at binato sakin ang isang bagay na agad kong sinalo bago sila lumabas ng bus sabay ng makarinig kami ng police sirens mula sa labas
"Sir! May ambulansya po!" sabi ng isang junior high na sinilip ang bintana "Lahat ng estudyante labas" sabi ng isang faculty na kasama namin but my attention wasn't in them but in the object that I'm holding.
Kumunot ang noo ko ng makita ang isang bottle that is in a size of a thumb at sa laman nun ay may USB na ang itsura ay chip
"What's that?" tanong ni Nathan kaya umiling ako "I don't know" sabi ko
"I was ordered to give this to you"
Who would want to give this to me?
