Ininom ko ang kape habang pinagaaralan ko ang game na Bounty, only the chosen once can play the game kaya ibig sabihin nun ay konti lang ang papatay samin but on the points that they are given I doubt na konti lang ang papatay samin especially me.
But then, if the victim from yesterday was shot, why didn't we hear the sound?
"What are you doing?" agad gumalaw ang kamay ko para tanggilin ang mga research about sa Bounty at liningon ang tumawag pero napalitan ng kunot noo ang pagkagulat ko
"Luigi, what are you doing here?" tanong ko, hindi ba dapat nasa Manila yan ngayon at nagaaral? "That's so mean mi amor. I just got here" sabi niya at hinawakan pa ang dibdib and acted like he was hurt
"Shouldn't you be studying right now?" tanong ko "I'm here to court, Agatha. Can I?" sabi niya kaya sinalubong ko ang tingin niya
"You won't accept no for an answer, would you?" sabi ko kaya napangisi siya "Exactly why I like you so much, mi amor" sabi niya kaya napailing ako
"I don't do courting" sabi ko at tinuon ulit ang atensyon sa laptop "Then were heading straight to a relationship then" sabi niya kaya magsasalita na sana ako ng biglang may umupo sa kaharap kong upuan
"She doesn't do boyfriends Sanchez so back off" sabi ni Nathan at sinamaan pa ng tingin si Luigi "Funny. You look and sound like a jealous boyfriend to me" sabi ni Luigi habang nakangisi parin
"I'll wipe that playful smirk on your face Sanchez and I'll-" napatigil sa pagsasalita ng hawakan ni Drake ang balikat niya "Its just his protective brother side kicking in and I suggest you shut up before Nathan go into rampage and you don't ever.. Ever.. want to mess with Nathan when he's brotherly side is kicking in" sabi ni Drake na may halong pagbabanta sa boses na ikinailing ko
"So sweet" sabi ni Luigi na may halong pangaasar "But I'm more sweeter, don't you think mi amor?" sabi niya and batted his eyelashes at me na parang nagpapa-cute
"Stop that. Para kang may sakit sa mata" sabi ni Drake habang nakangiwi si Nathan sa tabi niya "You know, If I would be a murderer I should have locked you in a room and torture you slowly for you to feel the pain and kill you afterwards" sabi ni Luigi habang may ngiti sa labi
"I would have stabbed and shot you with a silencer to have you rest in peace before pushing you into a shredder" sabi ni Nathan habang nakatingin kay Luigi na masama kaya napailing ako but what Nathan said caught my attention
"A silencer!" sabi ko kaya kunot noong tumingin sila sakin "What?" taka nilang tanong at nagkatinginan pa "The reason why we didn't hear the gun shot! The killer was using a silencer" sabi ko and clicked my fingers then an idea clicked into me
"Say, if you were going to commit murder whats the safest way to hide your identity?" tanong ko "Leave no evidence and go to the hard route" sabi ni Nathan "Pumunta ka kung saan hindi ka paghihinalaan" sabi ni Drake
"The safest as possible, like your waiting for some thing or someone and tell one person an excuse and kill the victim" sabi ni Luigi kaya nagkatinginan kaming tatlo
"Exactly!" sabi ko and pointed at Luigi "Sa kanilang tatlo siya yung hindi paghihinalaan dahil maraming nakatingin" sabi ni Drake
"That means more witnesses, he must made an excuse to get a chance to kill the victim" sabi ni Nathan "O-kay, what are you talking about?" sabi ni Luigi na halatang maguguluhan pero hindi ko ito pinansin
"It seems the case is closed" sabi ko at ngumiti "I'll call Inspector Santiago" sabi ni Drake at tumayo "Masarap ba yan?" tanong ni Nathan habang nakatingin sa graham cake ko
"Yeah, wanna try?" sabi ko kaya tumango siya, I took a slice at sinubo yun sa kanya "Wait, is anyone even listening to me?" sabi ni Luigi
"Your right, it is delicious. We should buy one box of this when we get home" sabi ni Nathan "I would love that" sabi ko.

"Alam niyo na kung sino ang killer? Sino? Please, tell me" sabi ni Jane kaya nagkatinginan kaming tatlo "The killer did the safest way to get out of murder" pagsisimula ni Drake kaya natahimik sila
"And that is positioning in a crowded place where witnesses can be done kaya hindi kami sobra magaalala" sabi ko "The killer went to Liz's hotel room after he made an excuse" sabi ni Drake
"Like what?" tanong ni TJ "Like a guard. He would ask if where is the rest room so if he was asked where he was then the guard will be an alibi" sabi ni Nathan na nagpatahimik sa kanila
"Liz was sleeping when the killer entered her hotel room with a gun and silencer" sabi ko at tiningnan sila lahat sa mata
"Seems like Liz heard the footsteps" sabi ni Drake "Kaya sa sobrang gulat ay na baril niya agad si Liz and escaped the crime like nothing happened and even has an alibi" sabi ko
"But the question is why did you do that to her, Thomas?" sabi ni Nathan kaya napatayo si Thomas and pointed us an accusing finger
"Anong ba yang pinagsasabi mo? Nagsisinungaling siya!" sigaw niya "Your under arrest for murder" sabi ni Inspector Santiago at pinosasan si Thomas na nagpupumiglas
"You can't do this to me! Shit! Kasalanan niyo 'to! Masasayang ang $100,000 ko!" sigaw nito habang nagpupumiglas kaya nagkatinginan kami "Wait" pagpigil ko at linapitan si Thomas
"Where did you get the $100,00?" tanong ko "Its part of the game!" sigaw niya bago siya hinila ni Inspector Santiago kaya liningon ko ang dalawa
"Its Hive's doing" sabi ko "Bounty?" sabi ni Drake kaya tumango ako "He was one of the players and he targeted Liz to get the prize" sabi ko
"Agatha?" napalingon ako sa tumawag at nakita si Jane "Yes?" sabi ko "Thank you very much. We wouldn't breath freely again if it wasn't for the three of you" sabi ni TJ "Thank you very much!" sabi ni Jane at nagulat ako ng bigla niya akong yakapin
"Thank you. I'm sure if Liz was still alive, she would love you" sabi niya and the rest of the day ended with Jane saying sorry over and over again habang umiiyak na parang bata but then and there I knew.
She was in the middle of moving on pero hindi naiwasan ng mata ko na makita ang lalaking nakasandal sa pinto habang may ngiti sa labi that made me smile too. Now that's he's real smile.
"Great job, Agatha"
Napangiti siya ng makita ang linabi nito at tumango bago naglabi pabalik ng mensahe.
"Thank you, Luigi"
