"Wow! Ang yaman pala nila Kye ano?" Faith gaped looking at the grand mansion of Del Mundo.

"Syempre-- Del Mundo owned the biggest shopping mall and wine company here," I said roaming my eyes around the place.

"Bakit alam mo?" Faith asked with her eyebrows furrowed.

"N-nabasa ko lang," I half smiled.

Afterwards, lumabas na rin si Kye. We quickly headed to his multimedia room. I was amazed seeing it. It's a complete package kasi.

"Let's start, ano ba ang gusto n'yo malaman?" Kye looked at us.

"School records? Files about the suicide victims?" napahawak ako sa dibdib.

"Nga pala Kye, wala ba 'yung parents mo dito?" Faith asked.

"Nope-- out of the country sila, business matters," he sat down. "So I guess, I'll be hacking the university's file?”

Naupo na rin kami ni Faith. Parang nanginginig yata ang mga kamay ko. Knowing the fact that, it's my family's university. Napatingin pa sa'kin si Kye before he opened his laptop. Kung pwede ko lang sana tawagan si daddy. Pero hindi, baka ma-trace pa ako. Mas okay na 'yung ganito.

"Sige Kye-- kahit ano, basta information about sa kanila," Faith's hands trembled.

"This will take time, papadala na lang ako ng snacks dito," he started typing something. Napakabilis nitong mag-type. I got amazed watching at him. Who would have thought na si Kye, may alam sa pang-hahack.

“I access the university's students' profile, what's the name of the suicide victims?” he sighed deeply as a sign of relief.

“Divina Sy, the first suicide victim,” Faith answered fidgeting her sleeve.

“Here-- she's a mass communication student, a winner of Ms. Morris University,” Kye said.

Nagkatitigan naman kami ni Faith. Alam ko ang iniisip niya. Beauty queen din pala ang first suicide victim.

“Meron pa bang ibang information diyan Kye?” I gulped.

“Family background, she's a daughter of the prominent Sy Clan, owner of Sy pharmaceutical company,” napatigil si Kye. “That's all! Dead end na.”

Napaisip na rin ako. Napaka-limited naman kasi ng information na 'yun. What's wrong? Is there really bigger person behind this?

“Leave that site Kye, go dig deeper on the Sy pharmaceutical company,” hindi na ako mapakali sa upuan ko.

“Here I found an information, it says that the company almost got sink, but a month later, nakabawi naman sila,” Kye leaned on the chair. “Now, they're the biggest pharmaceutical company already.”

“Anong month 'yun? Bawat detalye kasi ay importante eh,” Faith was jotting down notes again.

“Month of February, and an article says here that it happened after the death of the family's youngest daughter,” Kye's eyebrows furrowed.

“What? Wait-- search the family members of Sy Kye,” I suggested.

He had troubled searching for it, but gladly he found some. It was a bit old already, pero clear pa naman ang photo. We scrutinized the members of the Sy family.

“Oh my gosh!” halos mahulog ako sa kinauupuan ko nang makita ko ang isang pamilyar na mukha.

Nagkatitigan kaming tatlo, at walang salitang lumalabas sa mga labi namin. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang iisipin ko. Lalo lang gumulo ang lahat.
