[Agatha's Point of View]
"You okay?" tanong ni Trinity kaya nginitian ko siya at tumango sabay ng pagbukas ng pinto
"I'm sorry, late kami" sabi ng babae habang pinupunasan ang mata niya kaya napaawang ang labi ko nung makilala ko sila, the girl who's sobbing and the boy who's comforting.
Sinuri ko sila ng maayos when I saw the girl's puffy eyes na parang kagagaling lang nito sa pagiyak
"Magtatanong lang kami ng konting tanong and I want the both of you to cooperate properly" sabi ni Drake kaya tumango ang dalawa
"My name's Helen at ang lalaking namatay ay si Richard, kaibigan niya ako" sabi ng babae at suminghot-singhot pa then our attention turned to the boy that started moving his hands
"I'm sorry, hindi kasi siya nakakapagsalita" sabi ni Helen and gave us an apologetic smile "He's name is James, kaibigan din ng biktima" sabi ko kaya napalingon sila sakin
"You understand sign language?" tanong ni Gabriel kaya tumango ako "May kaklase kasi ako nun na hindi nakakapagsalita so were required to learn para makipag-communicate sa kanya" sabi ko
"Hindi ko maintindihan ang ibang sinasabi ni James kasi si Richard ang translator namin" sabi ni Helen na parang maiiyak na
"Good. Ikaw na muna ang magiging translator natin" sabi ni Nathan na alam ko ay tinutukoy ay ako kaya hindi na ako nagabala pang magsalita then James started signing.
"He saw a man when he went to the comfort room na inaayos ang itim na jacket and left the comfort room. Lumabas siya at bumalik kina Richard when he saw the victim being shot kaya hinabol niya ang killer but the killer outrun him" pagtra-translate ko sa pag-sign ni James
"Kasama ko naman si Richard nun when he was shot" sabi ni Helen na tinanguan ni Gabriel that's saying that he testify to what Helen said
"Thank you for cooperating with us, pwede na kayo umalis" sabi ni Drake when Helen suddenly started sobbing
"Please solve this case, hindi ko alam kung bakit niya kailangan mamatay" sabi ni Helen before James pulled her with him outside "Sino sa tingin niyo ang killer sa dalawang suspect?" tanong ni Drake
"I don't know.. Lahat sila may alibi" sabi ni Gabriel "Why do you think the victim died? Parang hindi killing in ransom ang nangyari, like it was meant to shoot him in the chest" sabi ni Trinity
"Kamusta ang autopsy na pinapagawa ko?" tanong ni Nathan as he stared at Drake "Tapos na, sumama pa nga ang isang yan" sabi niya at tinuro pa si Gabriel na nakangisi
"Hindi naman critical ang tinamaan ng bala, parang hindi nga marunong yung killer gumamit ng baril but he shot the victim in the chest, tamang-tama lang para mamatay ang biktima because of blood loss but the bullet was not the reason why the victim died" sabi niya kaya kumunot ang noo ko
"Then ano?" tanong ni Trinity "Its some kind of poison na nakadikit sa bala named bo..bone?" sabi niya at tumingala pa na parang iniisip kung ano ang sagot
"What was that called again?" tanong niya at binalingan ng tingin si Drake na tinaasan siya ng kilay "Malay ko ba? Ikaw ang kausap ng doktor diba?" sabi niya kaya napakamot ng leeg si Gabriel
"Bone corriding powder" sabi ko kaya tumingin sila lahat sakin "Yes! Thats right! Wait.. How did you know that?" sabi ni Gabriel
"Bone corriding powder can make your skin into a frenzy. Sa lagay ng biktima mukhang linagyan ng killer ng bone corriding powder ang bala and when it shot the victim, the chest, lungs, heart was swollen na naging dahilan ng pagkamatay niya" sabi ko
"Paano mo nalaman?" tanong ni Gabriel so I couldn't help but chuckle "It was just a lucky guess" pagkibit balikar ko kaya napailing siya
"Pero naamoy ko 'yon nung lumapit tayo sa bangkay. I quickly smelled the awful scent then I remembered the book that I read before" sabi ko at liningon si Gabriel
"Yung katawan ba ay may mga pimples that looks like chicken pox?" tanong ko kaya tumango siya "Then my conclusions are correct, bone corriding powder nga ang ginamit niya. Kahit isang dampi lang ng balat mo 'don it will make your skin go frenzy even the tiniest bit na parang sinusunog at pinapakulo ang balat mo" paliwanag ko
"So what are we going to do now Nathan?" tanong ni Trinity kaya liningon namin si Nathan "We'll see what will happen next. Sa ngayon wala pa tayong sapat na ebidensya so all we need to do is wait" sabi niya kaya nagkatinginan kami.
'Ganon lang? Maghihintay lang kami?
"Your all dismissed" sabi niya at nauna ng tumayo so we exchange questioning looks bago nagkibit balikat.

"What do you think tastes better? Chocolate or strawberry?" tanong ni Gabriel kaya sinamaan siya ng tingin ni Trinity dahil sa walang kwentang tanong nito
"What kind of question is that?" tanong ni Trinity and gave Gabriel a weird look na tinaasan lang siya ng kilay
"I am just asking. What's the problem with that?" balik na tanong niya kaya napairap si Trinity kaya napailing na lang ako ng magsimula sila magaway .
My eyes then landed on a girl who's eyes were staring back at me then later on she smirked, lifted her pointing finger and starts moving it side to side while mouthing me 'tick tock' that tells me that I'm running out of time before she left the cafeteria.
It was like a part of script as the next unexpected thing happened.
"Hey! You witch!" sigaw ng isang babae na may hawak na water bottle "Janella?" gulat na tawag ni Helen when the girl threw the water on Helen's face at kung inaakala niyo na mababasa lang siya but the opposite happened
"Aaaahh!" malakas na sigaw ni Helen habang hawak ang mukha at napahiga pa sa sahig kaya lahat ng nasa cafeteria ay napatayo sa gulat and some even gasped.
Kahit tinatakpan ni Helen ang sariling mukha ay kita ko parin kung paano mamaga, bumutog, at masunog ang balat niya pati ang hita niya na natapunan din ng tubig.
Kita ko ang pagatras ng babae na halata mong nagulat din "H-Hindi ako ang gumawa niyan!" utal na sigaw ng babae before running off habang lalapitan na sana ni James si Helen kaya agad akong sumigaw
"Wag mo siyang hahawakan!" sigaw ko kaya awtomatikong napalayo siya kaya agad silang linapitan ni Gabriel at Hazel.
What the hell is happening?
