Three Young Sleuths - The Headless Figure Mystery

Chapter II - Some Things We Need

"This is the start of your class ladies and gentlemen." Our professor said. It is the unpleasant classroom that I am attending class now. It has been a week ever since we three met up. "Isn't it weird? Ladies and gentlemen instead of students?" I asked to my seatmate. He stared at me for a few seconds and then ignored me, throwing no statement not even a single word nor sign. A question, out of nowhere, popped inside my mind. Am I the only one here who spot differences?

Sitting nearby a window which confirms that I am at the edge of the sitting arrangement with one-winged seatmate, I looked at the outside world. It helps me remember some memories which in return, distracts my mind from listening to the words of our professor. He continues to explain while I daydream.

I still remember the introduction to his plans during the day we met, the first day of school. His sharp brown eyes, his deducing lips, his face full of excitement, and his dancing hands of explanation tell us something that we will have adventure on the years to come. Charlie and I would listen dearly on his promises of action that justice will obtain the speed of light only if we would be certain of help to it.

"Of course before setting on foot towards our great adventures, we would have some requirements. I have set all things according to plans. First we will need to know each other first."

"But didn't you just know who we are?" Charlie asked.

Thomas chuckled for a while. "Charlie, I only acquire an inch of your whole life story. We'll know each other as time passes by." He said and he gave Charlie a wink.

Charlie gave a weird expression, like she considered his wink as something creepy.

"How about you Thomas, what course will you be taking?" Charlie asked.

"Now that you ask, I will take medical technology." Thomas answered. "Dexter didn't mentioned it to you."

"We just met, what else would you expect?" I countered in a higher voice, making some of the students stare at us. He rotated his eyes in a rainbow pattern, giving the whatever expression. "Lawyer, medical technology, and architect. Different course would mean different schedules. How in the world are we going to meet up often?"

"Your quick raise of the voice made me determine another inch of your life story, losing temper easily." He answered. "By the way, we will not have problems regarding of the schedule. I checked on it lately in return of skipping the orientation. We will be dismissed every monday at exactly 3 p.m until 5:30 p.m in which we will have night classes after that. Thursdays too, we will be dismissed at 2 in the afternoon and will be back at exactly 7 pm. The rest of the days have dismissal on our own." Thomas explained.

"Orientation is always boring." Charlie added.

"Where do we meet often?" I asked.

"Brilliant question. I got the meeting place already planned. We will be having our headquarters at a flat located nearby Tupperware, Legazpi St." He said.

"How about expenses?" Charlie asked. "Having cases in a flat will cost us huge."

"Brilliant question, but I have that already planned too. I have a friend which you both will befriend too, by the name of Girande (pronounced as jiran) Ascercroft who will manage all the expenses until we get money from our cases. Call her Gi when we all met there." Thomas explained.

"Speaking of money from the cases how about our clients? How will they know our newly-found team?" I asked.

"Of course, we will solve mysteries starting on rumors. Rumors aren't certain to be true unless we hear it from the source itself."
