"Yo. Oh anong ganap?" tanong sa akin ni Aegan pagkapasok ko sa kuwarto niya. Halatang katatapos niya lang maligo. Medyo basa pa ang buhok niya habang may nakasabit siyang tuwalya sa balikat.
"Okay," I inhaled deeply. "Someone called me and he's asking for help."
"What? That's weird."
"Sinabi mo pa," I sat at his bed before I continued to tell him what happened. "And when I dialed the number again, hindi ko na siya ma-contact."
Napatigil siya sa pagpupunas ng buhok saka tumingin sa akin. He placed his right hand under his chin na para bang nag-iisip ng maaaring sabihin.
"Have you tried to track the number?" he asked me. "'Di ba tinuruan na kita ng basic hacking?"
"Siyempre naman," I sighed. "But even the authorithies couldn't track the number. How can I?"
"Tss." He placed the towel on top of the bed side table saka umupo sa harapan ng computer niya. "The authorities are trash. What do you expect?"
Sinuot niya ang spectacles niya na napakakapal at hinarap ang computer niya. Then he started typing and encoding different codes that I couldn't understand, "Come here," he called me.
Lumapit ako and gave him the number. Then a series of codes and patterns flashed on the screen. After a few seconds, it stopped and revealed a transcripted message.
Number: 09XXXXXXXXX
Owner: Stygian Alejandro
Stygian Alejandro? Who is that?
"Nice name, huh?" Iniunat ni Aegan ang kamay niya matapos ang pagtype niya ng kung anu-ano kanina. "Ayan na ang pangalan. Who the heck is that Stygian?"
He stood up and picked up his towel, then he looked at me afterwards, "Do whatever you want there, Astria. I'll just fix myself, okay?"
I nodded at him as I stared at the computer screen.
Stygian Alejandro...
Who are you?
