CLEOPHEE
"Ace Paul is Nemesis?", takang tanong ni Memphis. Nasa apartment na kami ngayon at nakaupo ng paikot sa sala. Kinwento ko sa kanila ang mga sinabi ni Solo Wontimo sakin kanina. "Ace Paul? as in the SSG vice president?"
"Yea"
"I don't trust that Wontimo, not even a single part of him", Morrigan uttered. "He's crazy"
"Ace Paul is a great leader, I doubt he's Nemesis, he's a busy guy, he's busy doing school stuff", Atlas intoned.
"But he can still be Nemesis, let's put him in the list", Memphis said. "Why would Ace Paul kill someone—"
"Solo Wontimo mentioned about his business, he owns a business that keeps them running", I said. I think we are slowly entering the gates of hell dahil sa ginagawa naming pag-iimbestiga sa kaso ni Nemesis.
"If Ace Paul is the foundation of all this chaos, he must've had minions too. The Royals....", Alaric said. Ace is a foundation pile, and what he mean by royals are Kings, Queens, Jacks and 10s. They could be the one's behind the transactions, Mrs. Librado said something about his goons. They could be one of Ace Paul's pile.
"Royals what?", takang tanong ni Memphis.
"Kings, Queens, Jacks and 10s", sabay naming usal ni Alaric.
"Ace is a foundation pile and in Klondike solitaire, Aces comes first down to Kings, in Poker, Ace, Queen, Jack, King and 10 in the same suit are called Royal Flush. It's a mixed situation, don't make me explain", diretsong usal nya.
"So you mean, Ace Paul is the ACE? and those Kings etc. are his minions?", Morrigan asked. He nodded as a response.
"If Ace Paul really is Nemesis, we must be more careful, sa susunod na sem, sya na ang president, mas lalakas ang kapit nya sa school at mas mapapadali lang sa kanya ang pagsagawa ng mga krimen", Alaric said.
"Buwan ng Wika na next month, it's been weeks since Nemesis made a move, sa tingin nyo may gagawin na naman sya ngayon?", Atlas asked.
"He might, we better get ready", he answered.
"Cleo, you're bleeding!", tarantang usal ni Memphis, she then held my chin, I can feel the blood flowing out of my nose "Quickly! Dalhin natin sya sa ospital!", walang sabi sabi ay binuhat ako ni Morrigan at agad na inilabas sa apartment. Nakikiusosyo nadin ang ibang mga nakatira sa boarding house.

"I'm fine, I said it like 50 times already", inis na usal ko sa nurse na halos minu-minuto akong chinecheck.
"Ano ba talagang nangyari sayo?", Memphis asked.
"I got beaten up by a group of guys", I simply said.
"And you're okay with that? Look at your poor situation!"
"I'm really fine, can we go home now?", I hate staying at the hospital, I had too much bad memories piling up in my head.
"We can't go home until we can assure that you really are safe", she hissed.
I sighed in disbelief. "I don't really like staying here so can we go home now?"
"Wag nang matigas ang ulo Cleo, we're just worried—"
"Nope, ikaw lang naman ang OA", singit ni Alaric. Memphis just gave him a death glare bago lumapit sa higaan ko.
"Don't mind him, ayaw nyan na may sinusugod kami sa ospital eh"
Like she promised, sinamahan nila ako hanggang sa x-ray lab, actually sya at si Morrigan lang naman ang parang may interes na samahan ako, the other two are just waiting for them to stop overreacting. I'm waiting too actually.
