- 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
CAKE's Evidence - 6.5 - The Mystery of the Five Orange Phones (Riza Borough I)
LUKE MATTHEWAS SOON AS the clock’s hands pointed at twelve o’clock, I rang the nurse’s bell and requested for my discharge. I talked to Pops about it this morning and he agreed to let me leave, with the condition of staying away from any kind of situation that would open the stitches of my wound. He went out an hour ago to prepare lunch at home. I told him that I would invite the Detective for the meal and he agreed to make his best dish: Spicy Cheese Chicken and Pork Caldereta.The doctor told me what to and what not to do to my wound, and how to properly care for it. I was out of the room after minutes of discussion and I took a cab home. I got off in front of a normal house in an average environment. I smiled upon seeing Pops and Nomy standing by the mailbox beside the small gate.“Aww, you really waited for me!” I held out my good arm for a hug.“Err, nope. We were waiti
CAKE's Evidence - 6.6 - The Mystery of the Five Orange Phones (Riza Borough II)
LUKE MATTHEW MY PARTNER RUSHED to the two young ladies and immediately took Aera’s pulse. I walked behind since I am not allowed to run. “It’s just beginning to kick in. We still have time,” she said and dialed someone on her phone. “Ae, don’t leave me… please,” Riza pleaded, holding Aera’s hand. “I-It hurts, Riz…” “Where?” I asked. “N-No..,” she answered me and looked back at her friend. “It… It hurts that… after… all the time we’ve spent, y-you’ve never seen me… as your friend, Riz. T-Two years…” Tears fell down her cheek and Riza’s followed. I couldn’t help but feel sad, mostly for Aera. The Detective cleared her throat, gaining our attention. “The antidote will be brought here soon,” she announced and pulled me meters away from the two. “What is it?” I asked. “The obsidian knife, it’s a different case.” My eyes widened, “I almost forgot about that one!”
CAKE's Evidence - 6.7 - The Mystery of the Five Orange Phones (Ruffa Basco I)
LUKE MATTHEW “You think… Toto is the one behind this? the caller? our mystery guy?” THE THOUGHT LINGERED in my mind for who knows how long. First, Irish and Levy were White and Black of Indigo. And then, Honey was his White, too. Now, Toto? Just… how many of my classmates are not who they seem to be? “Where are you going?” The Detective asked as soon as I stood up from the monobloc chair. “I’ll have a chat with Toto. If something happens, give me a call,” I said and left. I found Toto in the Science Nerds clubroom, along with his mates, intently listening to their president who was explaining something about chemicals. “Who’s there?” The president asked as I peeked through their open door. “That’s my classmate, Luke,” said Toto to the president. “May I excuse myself?” The president agreed. He walked towards me and we talked outside the room. “What br
CAKE's Evidence - 6.8 - The Mystery of the Five Orange Phones (Ruffa Basco II)
LUKE MATTHEW TOTO AND I stood side-by-side as we waited for Sir Anton to arrive. We had bought the needed materials and just before we decided to find the two ladies, Toto mentioned that a car could help us pull up the moving truck, hence why I called Sir Anton to come over. Upon hearing his statement, I also thought of an easier way to find them. I waved my hand when I noticed an approaching black Genesis G80. The car stopped before us and Sir Anton lowered the window. “Young Master, you have called.” “Yes. Did you bring it?” “Yes, Young Master. Who are we going to track?” “Hibara W. Cake,” I answered, showing him the Detective’s contact number on my phone. “I got it, Young Master,” Sir Anton replied and then moved to open his side’s door. “No, no. I can open the door for myself, thanks.” I smiled then gestured at Toto to get in the back while I took the shotgun seat. We headed for the high section of the roadway left of the main. My eyes immediately spotted the short-haired b
CAKE's Evidence - 6.9 - The Mystery of the Five Orange Phones (Reese Berlin)
LUKE MATTHEW THE ORANGE PHONE rang the tune of Stayin’ Alive. The Detective answered the call with utmost boredom in her face and voice. “Password.” The call ended so soon than I had expected. “What did he say now?” “The password is 5732. I now understood his pattern,” she answered, sitting up. “Anyway, if I’m not mistaken, Reese is in a hospital. Mitch’s info was ‘Reese was the member of the Dance Troupe who got injured recently and Ruffa replaced her.’” She tapped on the last phone. “Take a look,” she raised the screen to my face; “it’s the room number.” I scrolled to the next image and found the Nurse Station. “Hey, does this mean one of the nurses will poison the target?” She rolled her eyes. “That’s the most obvious answer.” “That’s the Metro Hospital, right?” Toto chimed in, thankfully, his eyes fixed on the fifth orange phone. “I mean, that’s how the room numbers look like in Metro Hospital so I assumed. I was once admitted there due to severe allergic reaction.” “I wasn
CAKE's Evidence - 6.10 - The Mystery of the Five Orange Phones (Conclusion)
LUKE MATTHEW AFTER WE BROUGHT the Nerd to the attention of a doctor, the Detective left me with him while she spent a few minutes of chat with Reese Berlin. It might be about her deduction that her broken leg was intentionally caused. I pulled a monobloc chair and sat by his side just as the doctor and nurses left the room. “How bad was it?” I asked. “As bad as needing twenty stitches, Luke,” he answered with a sad tone, but then he laughed after seeing my—I don’t know—surprised Pikachu face? “I only got eight stitches, don’t worry.” I huffed and gave him a glare. “I don’t worry about a spy, Nerd!” “How many times do I have to tell you I’m not a spy before you believe me?!” I smiled. Soon, the good ambiance died down. Toto gave me a concerned look. “Are you okay?” I chuckled and sighed. “How did things go back there? I’m… I’m sorry for being late.” Toto then reached out for my hand and began to narrate what happened on the rooftop. It turns out that a verbal fight occurred be
