CLEOPHEE

Damn. What a tiring day.

Nagpagulong gulong ako sa higaan ko, trying to reminisce the tiring drama I had the whole day. Mr. Librado was replaced by another teacher named Sephira Talman. She's a fresh graduate kaya ganun nalang kung maglaway sa kanya ang mga kaklase kong mga lalaki. Nakauwi na ako ng bahay at mag-isa parin. Hindi pa umuuwi si mama, hindi rin naman nya kasi sinabi kung kelan sya uuwi. Tsk. Ilang araw nadin mula nung nirecruit ako nung apat sa team nila. I still haven't confirmed their invitation dahil gaya nga ng sinasabi ng mommy ko, I'm a threat to other people. This dangerous skill of mine can put lives at risk. Siguro ay patulongtulong lang ako sa kanila but ayoko paring mainvolve sa team nila.

*blaggg*

My brows furrowed after hearing the loud thud. I ran towards the kitchen and found a huge black bag. Malaki ito parang bag na lagayan ng mga damit. It smells like rotten fruits. I slowly unzipped the bag.

"FUCKK!"

Lumayo agad ako nang makita ko ang laman. It's a dead body. I panicked and immediately ran  to the telephone to dial emergency.

*calling 911*

"Hello 911, what's your emergency?"

"There's a dead body on my kitchen right now!", I panted. Frustrated, I started biting my nails. "I don't know where it came from!"

"Maam, just relax, tell me your address. We will send authorities right now"

I told the operator my address while panting. "I don't know where it came from! Someone broke into my house and—and—"

"Maam, relax, we will figure it out right away", sabi nito.

"Please hurry", usal ko bago binaba ang tawag. Nagpalakad lakad ako ng pabalik balik sa sala namin. I can smell the rotting body from here. The poor figures hunts my soul. Maya maya pa ay nakarating na ang mga pulisya.

"Are you Cleophee?", tanong nya.

"Yes officer! Please take out that body now"

5 people took out the bag bago kinordonan ang kusina namin. The surveillance cameras were corrupted kaya hindi nakuha yung mga kailangan footage. Sinadya itong gawin ng kung sino.

"The body will undergo autopsy para malaman natin yung pagkakakilanlan nya. I'm sorry maam but hindi nyo mawawala samin ang pagsuspetsahan kayo lalo pa't walang sapat na evidence na may naglagay nga nyang bag sa kusina ninyo"

"What are you saying?! Na ako ang pumatay sa lalaking yon?!"

"Maam, this is part of the investigation"

Base on his name plate, his surname is Ramirez.

"Pardon me, sir, but I am not guilty on this crime! Hindi ko magagawa yon! I was at the safe room nang marinig ko ang malakas na kalabog. Then I found the bag! You can search the whole house if you want"

"Maam, we consider you as POI"

"Officer Ramirez—oh sorry, did I interrupt your conversation?", singit ng isa pang pulis. The police who investigated Mr. Montes' death. As far as I remember, Atlas called him Officer Quijano.

"Officer Quijano, what's the matter?"

"I was talking to Alaric earlier, he's asking me about Hilda and Andrew's case"

"The two Gomez?"

"Yep"

"Excuse me, Ms. Cleophee", paalam nito bago umalis. Naiwan naman ako kasama itong isa pang pulis.
