"I am going to teach you another cipher today," Ms. Avi began.Here we are again with the nose-bleeding ciphers. This was a brain-drying activity."Who among you is familiar with the Skytale Cipher?" she asked.Skytale Cipher?I think I heard that. But I am not so familiar about it.Arya suddenly raised her hand."Yes, Agent 498."She stood up very confidently before speaking, "Skytale Cipher is a transposition type. Suppose the rod allows one to write four letters around in a circle and five letters down the side of it.""And how can we decrypt that?" she threw a follow-up question then walked in front.I think she had a plan to ask a lot of questions today."To decrypt, all one must do is wrap the leather strip around the rod and read across," another confident answer from her sister.Obviously she already knew that.After Arya answered, she sat down and returned to her conversation witRelated chapters

CHRISWe were on our last period of class and we were now on the battle field of the academy for our Self Defense class.Wearing our PE uniforms, we simultaneously warmed up. Some time later, I noticed a group of my classmates in a corner. Out of curiousity, I approached them."Guard your rank, Zanaya because I will drag you down," threatened Celyndra, our Seventh rank now who used to be 3rd rank then.Zanaya frowned when she heard that. Then grinned before she answered."Didn't you say that to yourself before you took the simulation test? You should have guarded your rank before. Now, it's too late 'cause I already have it."Celyndra was even more pissed and she would have almost kicked Zanaya if it hadn't been for her friends who stopped her."Bear this on your mind, Lopez, I will be on top again!""Try me," Zanaya mocked before she turned around and went to the bleachers. My gossipy classmates have also returned to

ZANAYAWe were all in the Simulation Room and we could clearly see the prostrate body of a woman inside an apartment. Her head was bloody and she was holding a gun in her right hand and a cigarette in her left. Next to her was scattered pair of slippers. On another table was a letter and a ballpen. The letter was a suicide note, according to Ma'am Roque. On the right side of the table were the paper and pen and on the left were her eyeglasses. There were also scattered packs of cigarettes and bottles of wine around. On a shelf, there was a notebook that was slightly raised."Agents, tell me now if the incident in front of you was a murder or suicide. With this, I could test if your observation skills have improved," Mrs. Roque told us.Celyndra raised her hand to get ma'am Roque's attention."Yes, Miss Ramos?""It's a murder," she replied confidently and without a trace of any doubt."Why do you say so?""The victim was lef

ZANAYABecause I failed to convince Mrs. Roque yesterday, I'm out here with Arya and Chris. Dave was the only one were waiting because he was too slow.It seemed like it's going to rain soon because of the dark blanket of clouds above. Every blow of the wind was so strong that the dried leaves of the trees fell. The surroundings were quiet because the students were already in their respective classes. A moment later, Dave arrived followed by his frowning sister who was obviously furious at him."Let's go," she said.We all got inside the Van with Uncle Kanor as our driver. I was still nervous when we left because someone might recognize me and report me to those who were looking for me. But I have confidence in Arya's convincing powers that somehow did not work to Mrs. Roque.While on the flight, I looked out the car window. It was noteworthy that not many live in this area. Only tall trees could be seen which darken the surroundings

ZANAYAEdward laughed out loud before he replied, "Poisoned? That's impossible.""Where did this happen?" I probed, ignoring the comment of that Edward guy."In the kitchen. But our caretaker had already cleaned up the scene," Jaika blubbered.Arya suddenly touched me and then she whispered to me, "I have this feeling that the old steward was the white lady and she killed their sister.""Quiet down, Arya. They could still hear you," I whispered to her."Why would the house keeper clean the area immediately? She's hiding something," she trailed off.At least she had a point, but their caretaker was too old and it would be impossible for her to hurt someone. But who knows?Arya suddenly approached Jaika which surprised us all. Even Mrs. Roque was also alerted."Jaika! Are you cosplaying?" she chortled."Yes. How did you find out?"She pointed at the picture on the top of the shelf where Jaika was smiling a

DAVEReign was in the infirmary for her recovery. Fortunately, she followed the plan to drink water before facing the killer. Though it still had a bad effect on her. She was also unconscious for five hours and Arya blamed me completely. She even cried like Reign was about to die.When Arya noticed Jaika's cosplayed photo, I had a strong suspicion that she was the one who killed their sister. All I have to do was to prove my deduction. So I came up with a plan.We were now walking to the infirmary with three of my friends."I'm sure your case was very exciting yesterday. You'd think it would have been a horror," Eroll said."What's exciting there? Zanaya almost died because of Dave's plan. What you have done was very dangerous," Monica preached to us."It's a good experience," Chris commented.I agree."Maybe the chicken was too scared," Eroll said laughing."She was so scared that she couldn't let go of her grip

DAVE"What are we going to do there? Is my sister there?""No, but Reign could help us.""What? Who--? Are you referring to Zanaya? Why is there a need to drag her in this mess? She's still recovering.""She's our only chance to save your sister."She would have asked more questions but I turned my back on her and faced my classmates."Those of you who will be left behind, search the entire campus, and look for Miss Avi."After I gave the final instructions, the three of us ran to the infirmary to disturb Reign.When we arrived, we were still out of breath. Lopez glanced at us in surprise."What are you doing here?" she asked after she lowered the book she was reading.Arya approached her and tearfully held her hand.“Zanaya, forgive us if we bothered you,” she began."What do you need?""You wouldn't believe this. My sister Avi was abducted by JDC."Shock first registered on R

ARYAOur weekend ended without any chaos occurring. JDC didn't bother after what happened to my sister, so Zanaya and I slept soundly. We had no worries and the past few days have been peaceful.That JDC was a pest of the west. Even though I haven't seen what he looks like, I have a strong feeling that he looks like a frog that was not so fluttering. I don’t know what that word means, as long as he’s a big ass pest! I wanted to pour muriatic acid on him and bury him in the pit. Just thinking about him got my blood boiling. I'm shivering and my stomach hurts. Oh wait... I'm already hungry.Where was my mushroom-like companion? I've been waiting for her. A classmate of mine said she was in the Comfort room, but a few million seconds later she was still gone. That girl was popping up everywhere."Who are you waiting for?" someone malignant asked me. I turned to see the duck."It's none of your business," I grumbled."Ju

ARYAOMG! What was that?My heart leaped from my chest when the man was about to open the drawer where my panties were placed!"Hey!" I shouted then quickly approached him and swatted his hand.I had a mini heart attack when the dog with them suddenly barked."Don't you know the word privacy?" Zanaya's voice prevailed as she came out of the bathroom. She was already wearing our uniform."Even if you still have a permission letter, you shouldn't tamper with our things. Ask the owner first if you wanted to know what's inside it!"That's right, Zanaya. Preach these bastards."Sorry, miss. We're in a hurry," the agent apologized."My panties were placed there," I said simply and opened it for them to find out.I noticed that Zanaya was holding back her laughter next to me.She even managed to laugh.Because they did not find what they wanted, the police men left."Something valuable was missing.

ZANAYAI repeatedly called Dave as he ran after the man wearing a hoodie.I could do nothing, but follow them too.We arrived at the airport near the victim's house and the chase took us all the way inside, to the comfort room of the airport. We saw the suspect went inside the CR, but he suddenly disappeared from our sight."Where is he now?" Dave asked. He was still gasping for breath.In the hallway of the CR, six people came out.First was a civilian-- a man, quite tall, carrying a suitcase and wearing a brown jacket, and eyeglasses, and he also looked sweaty.I immediately cornered him so that he wouldn't go away. I showed him my ID as a detective so that he would cooperate.Later, a woman also wearing a jacket, tall, somewhat stout, and somewhat dark, came out of the CR. There was another girl with her and she

ZANAYAI was running...Again.But this time, I was not running away from him. I am actually running towards him."Hey, Zyfford!" I called him.He immediately turned to me. One of his eyebrows was raised while holding the papers that had been scattered earlier on the floor."You got something there?" he questioned.I approached him and held my phone in front of him showing the evidence I captured from the crime scene.His eyebrows knitted in confusion. "And what should we do with a letter to a family?"I clicked my tongue. It looked like the great Dave Zyfford lost his touch on Detective works."Duh. It could be a great help for us to solve the case," I stated in a matter of fact tone."Babe, you've got to be kidding me," he said which mad

ZANAYAHe showed me his dazzling smile again. The typical silent-type guy who had his own way on making girls drool over him. That's Christopher Enriquez."Ah, here's my gift," he murmured shyly after a moment of just staring at each other.Arya let out a laughed as she nudged Monica on her side to which the latter just ignored and simply gave me an encouraging smile.I took it and stared at the box. "What's this?""Open it, quick!""Wow, ha! You're even more excited, Eroll," Arya commented. Eroll clearly ignored Arya's remark and just stared at the box as if anticipating it to explode or whatever. This better not explode or else I would throw it at Eroll's face."Open it," Chris urged with a smile.I shrugged my thoughts away and I began opening it. I was surprised when I saw a calculator inside. It

ZANAYAI stopped my car at the place where he currently stays. It's the place where I wouldn't even thought of visiting, but here I am inside the car, contemplating whether to get out or drive away and hide again.However, I kept on reminding myself for how many times that there was no room for cowardice. I needed to face my past so that I could move on towards my future.The things that happened to me a year ago were incomparable. It was an experience that was worth sharing as it had impacted my whole life to become the person I've become today. Life had made me tougher. It made me realized that truth always prevail no matter how much effort we exerted just to hide it. I've learned that trust was such a precious thing you could give to anyone. Trust was fragile too. It's delicate. If it was broke once, it would be hard to glue the broken pieces together.I let out a sigh. This is it.I pushed the door and got out of the car. Now,

CHRIS"Where are you after the defense?" Eroll fired the first question to a woman. Her wide eyes widened even more when she realized that the question was being addressed to her."I-I'm in the lobby, I'm about to go home that time..." she answered in a shaky voice."What about you?" Eroll inquired another student."My group and I are in the Cafeteria," the girl replied nonchalantly. She seemed to not care that she's one of the suspects and clearly unbothered by what's happening. Either she's not involved or she's just good at hiding emotions.Eroll continued to ask questions until he reached the frowning man who had been suspicious to me ever since I saw him."I'm in the lobby too," he replied sparingly. He and Eroll even held eye contact for a while before the latter averted his gaze to us.We sorted the students who we

CHRIS"Chris! Let's go. You're really slow," shouted Monica who was outside the headquarters with the others.I let out an irritated sigh when I failed to tie my shoe laces properly."Seriously?" someone blurted in front of me.I looked up and saw Monica's annoyed face.I got up and faced her. "I'm done!"After saying that, I pinched her nose and ran to the door while laughing so hard.She groaned audibly as she tried to catch up."Is everything complete?" Dave asked who was seemingly bored judging by his usual dull eyes."Aye! Aye! Captain," Eroll replied playfully.They started walking towards the car.Today, we were invited for a case. And guess what, everyone was excited since it's been a long time since we were able to solve real case
Tease Out The Truth Captured (Part 2)
ARYAMonica sent a message first to Dave before we started walking towards the MRF. There were no traces of blood on our way anymore so we didn't know which part of the academy where Zanaya was taken. Our only hope was the MRF. I really she's safe there.When we saw the MRF, the two of us hid in an acacia tree to wait for Dave.Soon, we heard the approaching footsteps of the three men."We think Zanaya was right there!" Monica whispered to the them."Look, the MRF has a secret passageway out of the academy, and I think that's the reason why JDC decided to stay right there," Dave explained. "I asked my father's men to guard all the exits, including the exit in that MRF room, so Nico could not escape, unless he creates another chaos.""We also have back-up policemen, if we haven't gotten out of the MRF within ten minutes, they will come in and

ARYAWe hurried up the stairs to the second floor where the Control Room was located. Monica and I accompanied some rescuers to rescue Zanaya who was inside. Dave with Eroll and Chris were outside and were also looking for JDC aka Nico.Who would have thought that the venerable Student Council President was the mastermind of all the violence at Zyfford Academy? No one would expect him to be able to do that. His life was now tainted with black due to his past.As for Zanaya, I am happy that she still gave us her loyalty up to this point, though I am so worried about her current state as of the moment. I really hope nothing bad happened to her. She's my very first friend here in Zyfford and was also the reason why we became friends with Dave's group. If not for her, I am sure my blood would still boil for the E4.It was already smoky in this part of the building so the rescuers would n

DAVEIt seemed like the world had stopped from revolving that moment when we heard the explosive sound and found out that half of the Broadcast Room was now burning down."Zanaya is still inside!" Arya exclaimed with tears in her eyes.She had been hysterical when everything had sunk in her mind. A series of sobs from her could now be heard along with the shouts of commands from the authorities as they tried to put out the fire.I should have listened to them. I should have listened to her. This shouldn't have happened. I could have helped her. If only I didn't let my pride and ego get in the way. We could have made a better plan.I tugged at my hair while still staring at the burning part of the Broadcast Room.Why didn't I listen to her? She's trying to explain, but I refused to listen. I even started hating her. Damn, I think I hate myself
