CAKE's Evidence - 4.2 - The Doctor (Part Two)
HIBARA “M-MAMA…” JORO WHISPERED, staring at the television. Mom stared at me with an expression that asks if I really did murder the school doctor. I abruptly stood up and the chair fell on the floor. I shook my head, “No, Mom… J-Joro, I did not do this!” Joro faced me with his watery eyes full of hatred. “You killed my mother… You killed her!” He lunged at me and punched my body repeatedly. A tear fell from my eye— not because of his incredibly strong punches, but because he believed what was untrue. And I know it’s my fault because I fed him lies after lies when we were younger. He will believe others, but never me. “Joro, stop that!” Mom pulled him away from me. I was already lying on the floor with bruises. “You killed her! You killed… you… you did…” Joro then hugged my mother and cried. I just stared at them, not knowing what to say, again. I must prove my innocence to Joro and to everyone. That was the only thought that came into my mind. The only thing that is best to do.
CAKE's Evidence - 5.1 - An Explosive Conflict (Part One)
HIBARA IT HAD BEEN a week after Dr. Celina’s murder, my belladonna incident, and—not to mention—almost passing. I could still recall unmistakably the hallucinations brought by the poison to me as one of its effects, and my Mom’s narration of what happened while I was standing on the edge of death. I OPENED MY eyes and the blinding light on the ceiling greeted me. I raised my hand over my face as I tried to look around the hospital room. I could hear the stable beeping of my vitals monitor from the side. Mom approached me with such bliss in her brown orbs, “Oh, thank goodness, you’re awake!” And then she hugged me. It felt awkward, but I returned the hug and tapped her back. “I feel okay, Mom.” The door opened which made us look at the forty-five-year-old man who appeared. His hair was swept back, his face with newly grown stubbles from the sideburns to the chin, and his emerald eyes gazed directly into mine. Mom stepped out of the room and as the old man walked nearer to my bed.
CAKE's Evidence - 5.2 - An Explosive Conflict (Part Two)
HIBARA I MADE A call as soon as I took the final steps of the stairs. I told him that I decrypted his message and he then sent me the next clue through text. I tried to ask for his identity, but he dropped the call while I was speaking. 13-11-21-15-44-15-42-11 This one now is unquestionably Polybius Square. A Polybius Square is encrypted and decrypted by using a five-by-five square with the English alphabet arranged vertically, having I and J share the same cell. The code uses double-digit numbers, where the first is the y-axis and the second is the x-axis. 1 2 3 4 5 1 A B C D E 2 F G H I/J K 3 L M N O P 4 Q R S T U 5 V W X Y Z 13-11-21-15-44-15-42-11 C-A-F-E-T-E-R-I-A I sent him the answer and he replied with: “No more clues. Find it within fifteen minutes or everyone in the location burns to ashes.” I placed my phone back in my pocket and ran towards the cafeteria. I act
CAKE's Evidence - 6.1 - The Mystery of the Five Orange Phones (Introduction)
LUKE MATTHEW WE BEGAN OUR Friday peacefully like the previous days. No conflicts, no cases… and to make that simple: BORING. Maybe we should have joined as members of The Forensic Club? Scrolling through their social media page, TFC Case Files, I found a new post about a case they just solved this morning. They always seem to be busy, while the Detective and I are sitting here in class, listening to the fourth subject of the day, and waiting for our dinner time at four-forty-five. “I have given the details of your upcoming class project to your president. I will be leaving you five minutes before the bell so she could announce it. Goodbye, class!” Mr. Robin Enriquez, our English teacher, spoke his closing statement and then left the room. Our class president, Amethyst Hidalgo or Amy, stood in front and announced the said project. It was about turning the Indian epic, Ram
CAKE's Evidence - 6.2 - The Mystery of the Five Orange Phones (Amy & Shiloah I)
LUKE MATTHEW THE GALLERY SHOWED two images: a nicely lit, brown painted room with a blindfolded child tied up on a chair, and a half-eaten vanilla cake is laid on the coffee table in front of him— which somehow sent chills through my body. I don’t understand why, but I had a bad feeling when I looked at the cake. “I know where this is,” the Detective spoke. Clearly, she’s back to her normal self. “This is in Baskerville. The brown walls gave it away.” “But your flat has cream walls?” I replied. “I had it repainted, of course. It’ll be too gloomy if my unit is in a dark color and I have this kind of personality, duh,” she said and rolled her eyes. I chuckled, “Well, not to mention those snake pets you have! But anyway, I think we should be going now?” She nodded, “Yep, we should. Let’s get our bags and have an early dismissal. Before we leave, we’ll pass by Mr. Moon’s office so I can dissem
CAKE's Evidence - 6.3 - The Mystery of the Five Orange Phones (Amy & Shiloah II)
LUKE MATTHEW MY HAND AND voice were trembling as I called our family chauffeur. “S-Sir Anton? P-Please send the heli t-to AMU. J-Just ask for p-permission from the principal to u-use the College Building r-rooftop.” “What’s the matter, Young Master Luke?” “We n-need to get to t-the Port as soon as possible… Please, Sir Anton!” “I’ll be there in three minutes.” “Thank you so much!” I exclaimed, relieved. What I did not see coming was the Detective stomping towards me and pushing me to a large tree. I groaned in pain when my back hit the tree trunk. She spoke in a frightening aura, “You have a solution, and yet, you chose to waste our time by panicking instead of focusing, hmm?” Oh, dear Lord… I’ve read about this. ‘Aggression or violence toward people and animals’, ‘lack of remorse about harming themselves or others’— this is a serious situation! “
CAKE's Evidence - 6.3.1 - INTERLUDE
HIBARAI HAVE NEVER imagined how this much horror feels. I thought this feeling was just something basic like happiness and sadness, but no, this remained in my body for God knows how long.I called Mr. Mercer earlier using Matthew’s phone and informed him of the distressing situation. He brought the helicopter without delay and we landed on the nearest hospital’s helipad. Matthew was brought to the Operation Room immediately and I was stuck in the Emergency for my sprained wrist.After a wrist stabilizer was applied, my sprain doesn’t hurt that much like when we were on Kristina. I made my way to the OR and sat with Lilian, Shiloah, and Amethyst. “Are there any updates?” I asked.Amethyst lowered her head, Lilian shook her head no, and Shiloah gave me a sad look. I sighed deeply and leaned back on the seat, my head rested on the white wall behind. I could still recall how the Blac
CAKE's Evidence - 6.4 - The Mystery of the Five Orange Phones (Rhona Belmonte)
LUKE I OPENED MY eyes to the blinding light of a white room. My right arm was elevated at the side. I can faintly hear some person’s voice but I can’t understand what they’re saying. What I can hear clearly was the beeping sound of the vitals monitor. I heard the door open and my lips curled to a smile when I heard the joyful voice of my father, Noah Abraham Vargas. “My son’s awake! He’s opened his eyes!” He exclaimed. The doctor and the nurse rushed in. “Can you hear us?” The doctor asked. I nodded and the nurse took down notes. I tried to move but was immediately stopped. “I suggest you stay put, Mr. Luke. Your wound is still fresh. I have told your father that you’ll be wearing a shoulder spica cast for ten days.” Ah, yes, I remember. Black’s gun was pointed directly at the Detective’s heart so I jumped on top of her, using my own body as her shield. I was hit somewhere in the shoulder
