JACOB IN THE END, even without my permission, Tere gave the information of the case to Samael, who, in return, defended our suspect. “I thought you were some sort of a spy that this second-rate President sent us,” he remarked at Tere whose eyes now held a shivering gaze. “We found you during the Black and White Mystery. You weren’t a good spy.” “Enough of this,” I sighed and held Tere’s hand; “we’re going. Unlike you two, The Forensic Club still has two suspects to interrogate.” Samael crossed his arms and gave his final words, “Whatever you have to do, you can’t come to our younger cousins without passing through us.” Eligor swung his arm around the younger one. Their domineering aura has somehow faded, making me feel a bit better. “Samael and I are their eldest relatives who are within their reach. The others are already out there in the busy world. Only we can watch over them so, do bear with us if we are overprotective.” He smiled and then added, “Also, I’m graduating this ye

LUKE MATTHEW“So, that’s their two cases?”I COMPLETELY NARRATED what happened on my trip to CSD and that’s the question Toto threw at me.“It’s just one case,” said the Detective, scrolling through their newest post on the TFC Case Files page.The doctors told us that recovery times for a second-degree burn vary widely, but if the damage is not very severe, it can take fifteen to twenty days for the wound to heal. Her first-degree burns have almost completely recovered while the rest are still under observation. They also said that she may be discharged around two weeks from now.For twenty days, Toto and I come over here after school and stay during weekends. We tell her what happened at school; we give her the lessons, details on the several homework, and the projects; and we update her about our current active case: ‘Gathering Evidence against Indigo’.I remember her saying she already knew that Indigo is a CAT Officer. Of course, I got mad at her for not telling me such informati

HIBARA IT’S BEEN A while since I walked through the large golden gates of Colegio de Santo Domingo. As soon as I stepped foot on the premises alongside my former clubmate, Devin Purge, and their Young Master Samael Salcedo, cameras began to click. At this rate, we surely will be the next headline on their school paper. Hopefully, the event won’t reach the national newspaper. Toto and Cara who were walking behind us may have probably been overwhelmed by all the eyes fixed on us, so, I turned my head back. Surprisingly, I found our newest member acting like she’s an artist on the red carpet, smiling and waving to her fans and the paparazzi. The Science geek, on the other hand, covered his face with his Earth & Life Science book. They are the two sides of one coin. “President Hibara!” The combined voices of two girls echoed through the northeast side of the crowd. I immediately spotted them as I saw them jumping up and down while waving their arms. I pointed them to Devin and he nodd

LUKE MATTHEW I’VE NEVER SEEN the Nerd holding such a look. It’s as if he was sending poisoned darts toward the innocent young model of a clothing brand—all because Cara was blushing at his presence. Suddenly, eating the pizza in my hand was full of tension. The air around the three was obviously affecting us, except for the Detective who seemed to be enjoying the drama. “Ah, h-hello?” The young lady named Angelica raised her hand slightly. “D-Don’t you guys feel t-the tension? I-It’s uncomfortable…” But then, Hibara chimed with a smile, “Cara!” “Y-Yes!?” Cara jolted. “I’d like you to meet Jan Clark Rios, the leader of my Student Network here in CSD.” Then, she looked at the young lad. “Jan, this is Lt. Col. Cara Mendez, the leader of my Student Network in AMU.” “Lieutenant Colonel?” Jan’s face showed amazement. “You’re a CAT Officer? That’s cool!” “T-Thank you! You’re quite well-known, so that’s cool too!” Cara shyly smiled; her ears still red. Toto clenched his fists under t

HIBARA THE KIDNAPPING CASE of the long-haired girls was closed about an hour later after we found Pedro Quintos hiding in an abandoned warehouse. With him are the five victims and Cara, who have their wrists and ankles tied with the same masking tape that Agatha used to seal the bathroom. The Major and I nabbed the culprit and tied him up with masking tape. The rest went to free the kidnapped women. Of course, it didn’t escape my observant eyes that both Toto and Jan rushed to Cara. From the moment I heard that guy’s name, I knew the culprit was him. The only thing I didn’t have at that moment was the evidence to prove it. And so, I deliberately did not remind them of the lookout plan to set the culprit up. If there is a witness and we can all prove that the witness is telling the truth, then, there’s no doubt that the police would take her statement as solid. Sorry not sorry, but Cara was the perfect girl for the job. Of course, with the one-year experience of Devin, Cassandra, An
