[Agatha's Point of View]
"So ito ang lahat na files about sa mga biktima at suspect?" sabi ni Gabriel habang nakatingin sa tatlong files na linagay ni Drake sa lamesa
"Yes, 'yan lahat ang nakuha ko sa student database at investigation na pinagawa ko kay Kuya Aaron" sabi ni Drake kaya kunot noong napatingin ako sa kanya
"Paano mo siya napasangayon? Looking at Mr. Stanford ay parang may kapalit ang bawat ginagawa niya" sabi ko kaya ngumisi siya
"There's something you call blackmail" sabi niya kaya napailing na lang ako at kinuha ang file ni James.
Bakit ba 'to nangyayari sa kanila? Why would someone kill these two people?
Dead on arrival si Helen sa ospital dahil sa mga sugat na natamo niya
"Hindi pala mayaman ang pamilya ni Richard at Helen?" takang tanong ni Trinity kaya tumango si Drake
"Seems like nagtra-trabaho lang ang mga magulang niya sa kompanya ng pamilya ni James" sabi ni Drake kaya napatango-tango si Trinity "Kaya ba sila magkaibigan?" sabi ni Gabriel
"Seems like it" sabi ni Drake.
Nalaman ko na isang selfish na congressman ang tatay ni James habang ang ina naman niya ay isang fashion designer sa London and other businesses, he's life must be that bad.
"And the girl na tinapunan ng tubig si Helen ay childhood friend ni James na ex-girlfriend ni Richard" sabi ni Gabriel kaya kumunot ang noo ko
"Then why does James act like hindi sila magkakilala?" nagtatakang tanong ni Trinity "Sa mga tinanungan namin ay nagkaroon daw ng away pagitan nila" sabi ni Drake kaya napatango-tango si Gabriel then realization hits me
"We already know the killer though" sabi ni Nathan kaya napatingin silang lahat sa kanya "Really? Sino?" gulat na tanong ni Gabriel
"Now that you think of it, nagiikot ang crime sa isang tao lang" napagtanto ni Trinity kaya nagkatinginan kami when a smile slowly crept our lips "Case closed then" sabi ni Nathan.

"Alam niyo na kung sino ang killer? Mabuti naman! How dare that monster frame me?!" galit na sabi ni Janella
"We'll explain first.." pagsimulan ni Drake bago tumikhim "The scene in Fairytale Day. Kung iisipin mo masyadong delikado pumatay sa harap ng maraming tao" sabi ni Drake
"Because more people means more witnesses but the killer took that risks dahil may tinatawag tayong crowd method, ginagamit 'to ng mga magnanakaw sa kalye" sabi ni Gabriel
"Kung iisipin mo mas madaling gumawa ng serial murder sa maraming tao dahil mahihilo ang lahat kung sino o saan nanggaling ang killer and about the crowd method, sa sobrang dami ng tao ay hindi ka na nila mapapansin and that gives you an opportunity to take what you want na hindi napapansin ng mga tao but what the killer did was eye catching kaya tumakbo siya sa high school building. If I were the killer ay lalabas ako sa gate dahil there is high chance of escape but the killer went to the high school building where there are more witnesses kaya hindi siya paghihinalaan" sabi ni Drake
"And the killer did that to both sides" sabi ni Nathan "Hindi niya magawang tapunin ang damit at weapon gamit sa pagpatay dahil marami ang makikita and that's the disadvantage of the plan, that's how it became tricky kasi isang maling galaw ay mabubuking siya" sabi ni Nathan
"So your saying that the weapon and clothes that was used are still in the killer's reach?" tanong ni Janella kaya tumango si Nathan
"In his or her house to be precised" sabi niya "And about the cafeteria incident.." sabi ko kaya lumapit ang atensyon nila sakin
"Marami din ang witnesses pero hindi gaya nung Fairytale Day ay iba ang pinagawa niya sa masama niyang balak. The killer used you to kill Helen and took advantage of the anger you have towards her" sabi ko
"Who wouldn't? I trusted that witch na hindi niya pababayaan si Richard and I even broke up with him dahil alam kong may gusto si Richard sa kanya but look what happened now!" galit na sigaw ni Janella at nagsimula ng umiyak
"The killer knew where you take the water bottle kaya ginamit niya 'yon as an opportunity to kill Helen and took advantage of your anger" sabi ni Trinity
"And who wouldn't know all of that than James himself?" sabi ni Nathan kaya tumuon ang atensyon nilang lahat sa lalaking who's gritting his teeth
"Who are you to say that? May ebidensya ba kayo?" pagbasa ko sa pag-sign niya
"Were no other than Journalists Club and evidence? Ha! Should we look at your house to see it?" sabi ni Nathan na parang nanunudyo kaya mas lalong nainis si James.
'Who wouldn't? Those bastards tricked me! I thought we're friends pero 'yon lang pala ginagamit nila ako dahil sa pera. Mga manggagagamit! So the best way to do is to kill them dahil sa ginawa nilang panloloko. Nararapat lang 'yon sa kanila! And Janella? Hindi ko naman sinasadyang idamay siya but I remembered our fight, she wanted to use me dahil sa isang dare. What kind of best friend does that? Sa sobrang galit ko bigla na lang naging pula ang paningin ko and so I killed them! Nararapat lang 'yon sa kanila!'
Napaawang ang bibig ko ng matapos siyang mag-sign sa sobrang galitz.
He did all of that?
"What did he say, Agatha?" tanong ni Drake kaya napabuntong hininga ako
"He said that he did that dahil ginamit lang siya ng dalawang biktima dahil sa pera and he used Janella dahil ginamit lang din siya dahil sa isang dare" sabi ko
"Your under arrest for murder" sabi ni Inspector Gonzaga habang pinoposasan si James pero hindi ko na pinakinggan ang iba pa niyang sasabihin.
So wJames didn't have real friends? Nalungkot ako sa naisip at napatingin kay James na lumuluha na kaya linapitan ko siya and started signing.
'That pain your feeling is real and I understand why you did that, you trusted them but they took advantage of it. Carry that burden and anger but not to hurt yourself or others but use that anger and burden as strength for tomorrow and a lesson for the future'
I signed and he started sobbing and nodding telling me that he understands so I gave him a sad and bitter smile.
'You'll be okay. Everything will be okay as long as you feel guilty, it's okay..'
I signed again bago siya hinila palayo sakin "What did you tell him?" tanong ni Trinity as Gabriel shot me a questioning look kaya ngumiti ako
"Its for me to keep" sabi ko and chuckled when I saw them frown when my phone suddenly rang "Hello?" sabi ko then the next words caught me off gaurd.
