A Message From Bermuda (Part 1)
DAVE
After what happened at the Cafe, the six of us headed straight to Detective Headquarters. Yes, we're six. I don't know why Monica thought of inviting a loud girl and a witch.The Detective Section has their own headquarters where they could train and accept cases from students. It was where meetings were usually held and secrets were kept."Hey, Lopez. If you want to go out, then you can go now," I said sharply when I noticed that she was not comfortable."Dave, can you set aside the dispute between the two of you first, they are here to help us. And besides, Arya's knowledge of codes might help us as well," countered Monica."The message from Bermuda was only intended for us, not them.""Hey, I read that it's for all of us," Arya said as she folded her arms on her chest clearly annoyed by what I said."She's right, Dave," Chris replied. "We should accept their help."I could do nothing but keep quiet. Five againtRelated chapters

DAVEI took the letter and laid it on the table. Eroll and Arya also stopped even the others approached me.“Get a sheet of paper and a pen,” I commanded them.Chris immediately picked it up and handed it to me."Eroll, do you remember the codes that you used to send to our classmates before?""Ah, is that so? Of course. Mine is the hardest to decode," he said arrogantly.Chris laughed because of that. Even I laughed slightly."You're thick, brad! That's easy. You don't need a detective to find out the answer," Chris replied."Huh? It's not. You almost bleed your nose from answering it.""Sshhh! That's enough. As I was saying, we will use your style to decode it," I told them."How can you be sure that's right?" the witch questioned.She really doesn't trust me. Let's just see if she has anything else to say after I decode that freaking letter.“We just need to count the letters fr

ARYAMy head really hurt from that coded message. He could have just said that someone abducted him, then we could have saved him earlier. That letter tortured my brain.There was an added mystery when the Student Council President called Zanaya's second name.Why does he know Zanaya? Have we been trapped? Has Zanaya's identity been revealed? Oh no!Or maybe he's Zan's boyfriend? Aish! Whatever it was, maybe Zanaya would tell me later.We were currently in the Infirmary today. We brought the Student Council President aka Nico here because he suddenly fainted earlier after he mentioned the name ‘Reign’.It's just weird because I could clearly see the concern on Zanaya's face when Nico lost his consciousness. I'm sure there's something behind those looks. Zan wouldn't be so worried if she wasn't close to someone.Speaking of feeling close ...E4 was also here in the infirmary. They said, they were concerned a

ARYAZanaya approached him. "Hey, I thought you're in a one week leave?""I'm just bored in the dorm too so I went in," he replied."We have to go then," Dave whispered and headed outside. We all followed him.Arriving at the Lab, the smoke caused by the explosion could still be seen."A chemist died in the laboratory," Nico informed us as we entered the scene of the explosion. "The problem is, we don't know who did it.""Was the explosion the cause of his death?" Dave asked."I do not know.""Haven't the medics made a cause of death report yet?""Actually, they said, they will not do it anymore because it is obvious that the explosion is the reason," explained Nico."Can we see the corpse? And please call the medics to do a report about the cause of death," Dave ordered.Seriously? Why did he even want to see the dead?Once inside, we saw the prostrate body of a man. Fire burned half of his body an

CHRIS"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 wit

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
