DAVE
A few moments later, the black van in which the witness was riding arrived. The officers and guards instantly surrounded him to protect from unwanted killers. He was immediately brought inside.
I followed them inside. I might see Reign there, who until now hadn’t showed up after her outburst.
"See what happened to me? I have a wound on my hand!" Gomez's complained irritably.
“Calm down first,” Officer Tres said. "Get the first aid kit," he ordered the guards.
"Why don't you just call the doctor?" Gomez contemplated. "I don't trust you."
"Listen here, Gomez, we have concluded that a doctor in disguise will kill you. That's why we can't call a doctor right now," Officer Tres explained. His forehead was now dripping with sweat.
"And we believed that the reason why they attacked the safe house was that, it's their plan all along. Once we take you to the hospital, they will get that opportunity to strike you," Detect
CHRIS You could easily deduced a case but not a woman's heart. "Do you like Zanaya?" There was a long pause before I could answer her question. "She's a special friend." Her eyes were full of emotions. It's like a glass, and in just a few moments, it might break, and tears would fall down. "More special than me?" she asked while looking down her lap and avoiding my gaze. I let out a sigh before I replied, "No. You're my first best friend and no one else would take that position from you." She laughed bitterly. "So, I'm just a friend just like everyone else." How could I explain it to her? She's making it hard for me. This was not supposed to be happening. We should have been there laughing as we shared nonsense stories. But now, here we were. "You're more than a friend to me." "But not as a l-lover, right?" She's like a sister to me and I never wanted to see her crying be
ZANAYA"This was published 7 months before the incident."We began reading the story:"The night sky brightened faintly in the east with the approached of dawn. The stillness of the surroundings was broke by a woman's cry for help. Dogs began barking and the neighborhood was alert. But no one else came to help the poor lady. Everyone was afraid and preferred to hide.The killer knew that now that he killed once, the whole place would be more alert than ever. All houses would be locked and they would never let strangers to enter their houses.After two weeks, he decided to stroll on the streets again. It was ten o'clock in the evening. all of the residents were inside their houses already. No one dared to step outside because of the fear that the killer might take them as his target. Little did they know that he had someone in mind. He just needed to create a commotion to get into her.
ZANAYA"When did you receive this?" I asked as I stared at the all too familiar enveloped with red sigil."A month after the death of Kyla.""Another letter from JDC," I murmured."Last academic year, that JDC started sowing terror," Arya lilted with her index finger on her chin."This would be our chance to track down JDC. We'll finally know who had been causing chaos in the campus," I said.My colleagues nodded."Why didn't you immediately report it to the Detectives when you received the letter?""I was afraid. Someone might get involved again. So I decided to investigate alone.""Is there any progress?"There was a long pause before she could answer as if she was still wondering if there was any progress."I have three suspects: our Associate Editor, my ex-boyfriend, and my rival in the ranking.""The documents department is now comparing the handwriting to any samp
ZANAYAI made a U-turn right away and faced Christa when I remembered something."By the way, where's your photojournalist?"She looked around in search for him, before glancing back at me."He was just here before Sean was arrested."I cursed silently. "Be careful of him."After I said that, I strutted towards the car waiting for me because my colleagues seemed to have a plan of leaving me behind.When I got on board, I turned to Arya."The photojournalist was not there."We would like to hand over that photographer to the Police but we didn't have enough evidence to do that."Don't worry, we have the mastermind of all the chaos within our reach, we can also catch that photojournalist."When we reached the Police Headquarters, we were immediately taken to the interrogation room. There, we found Sean sitting in a monobloc chair. We followed the police officer who was with us a
DAVEI was walking around the Headquarters looking for everyone. They're probably hiding and trying to get even because I didn't disclose what I know about Sean's identity.Where were they now?I was standing here in the lounge area waiting for them to appear. It’s just unusual that it was dark here. This part used to be the brightest part of our headquarters."Hey! Show up now. I know you were there. Sorry for lying, okay?" I said, but it was more like talking to myself.Then something happened. I heard heavy footsteps. Soon, a man's laughter could be heard. I was certain that it wasn’t Chris or Eroll. This one was deeper and seemed to be coming from the depths of hell.The surrounding was dark so I couldn't see the man in front of me now. Only the moonlight served as my torch this time.The heavy foosteps continued to approach me until I saw a black leather shoes and stopped abruptly in fro
DAVE"I just wanted to clear some things. When I found out that Sean may have been an accomplice of the photojournalist, I was not able to tell you my deductions because someone else might be listening to our conversation and our plan will be sabotaged again," I began."So? Dabid men! You made us look stupid. Did you know that?" Eroll said with disappointment.I sighed. "That's why I am apologizing.""Apology accepted."We all turned to Chris who just seemed to be nonchalant about what he just said. My eyes blinked rapidly to confirm if I heard him right.Reign and Arya glared at him while Eroll raised his eyebrows."What?" he asked innocently. "Guys, I understand Dave. I would have done that too if I was on his shoe last night. You know, the principle of confidentiality," he tried to explain on my side."That's still not enough to normalize what he did. He should have given at least a clue or som
DAVE"Don't continue the party so that no one will die," Arya suggested with a shrugged.That was probably the best solution Arya could think of."We can't do that. What will the whole student body say?" the president's response."That's Memento Mori."I turned to my right when Chris spoke."Come to think of it, that's a threat. But to whom? Who should die?" he continued.I remembered my dream again so I looked at Reign. She was currently staring at the letter. Could it be her? Was this a threat to us?"The images on this certificate are symbols of mortality reflecting the Latin phrase 'Memento Mori' which means 'Remember you must die', '' Chris added.I was the one who interrupted the conversation. "The hour glass is a symbol of limited time on earth, grave-digging tools and dead bodies suggest fresh graves and angels are associated with heaven.""That means, we have very little tim
ARYABefore the Acquaintance Party...I looked around from where I stood and inhaled the fresh air. We were now on the rooftop of the mall here at Zyfford Academy. We thought of going straight here after our last class to buy a dress to wear for the Acquaintance Party tomorrow night. And one more thing, we now have Angel with us who was really a blessing in disguise who could help Zanaya and I in choosing what to wear."So what, guys, let's go?" she urged.Zanaya glanced at her watch before looking at us."It's already 5 o'clock. Let's go."I knew that she was forced to join us again. She had been very bored a while ago and she really didn't like doing shopping. But I have also noted how she avoided Angel. I couldn't figure out what the reason was. She was really very anti-social. She even intentionally ignored her every time Angel talked to her.Angel was kind to us so I couldn't understand why
