- 6.5 - The Mystery of the Five Orange Phones (Riza Borough I)
 LUKE MATTHEW AS 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

  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!”

- 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

- 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

- 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

- 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

- 7.1 - The Qualification Case of Toto Lei Chavez (Part One)
HIBARA “Hibara! When will I be an official member of your team?” TOTO LEI CHAVEZ wouldn’t pipe his voice down. He’s been like that since his involvement in The Mystery of the Five Orange Phones. Every hour of every day, he makes the wrong choice of bugging me. “Come on, give me an answer! We could be AMU’s Golden Trio—” “—Like what? Harry, Hermione, and Ron of the Harry Potter books?” The Major cut him off. “Luke, you’re back!” Toto cheered. “Tell your Detective to allow me to join your team!” “Where are the drinks?” I asked, completely shutting the Science geek off. The Major placed our tray of food on the table and distributed the plates. “I’ll buy them once this tray is free. I thought it might spill them if I take one tray on each hand, especially since I just got my spica cast off of my shoulder.” “Let me help you!” Toto beamed while the Major gave a huff as a response. “What wrong did I say?” “You offered help at the wrong time,” I replied and then took a spoonful of r

- 7.2 - The Qualification Case of Toto Lei Chavez (Part Two)
HIBARA “Please don’t make it too obvious that you guys are investigating our club…” THAT WAS TOTO’S request right before we entered the door of the Science Nerds clubroom. Of course, to make that possible, Chief Velasquez did not enter and only the Major and I did. I told Toto to stay with Chief since it might be more noticeable if he enters and then leaves with us. “You’re the CAT Officer from last time, Maj. Vargas, right?” A tall, fair-skinned young man approached us. Of all his features, what marked his identity to my data fortress were his thick eyebrows. “Yes. Nice meeting you again, Albert,” the Major responded. “By the way, let me introduce my classmate, Hibara. Hibara, this is Albert Porac, the President of Science Nerds.” I gave a small nod, acknowledging the introductions. “The club members, kindly line up.” And so, the Major began. “Where is everyone during lunch break?” BY THE TIME his interrogation ended, there were two suspicious persons: a male and a female. Both

- 8 - The Timer Starts… Now!
HIBARA THE BEEPING SOUND of the dropped call rang in my ears, as well as the words of the man on the other line. I am Indigo. I am Indigo. I am Indigo. “Hey, Detective? Detective!” “Hmm?” “You’re spacing out,” the Major informed. “Is there something wrong? What was that call about?” “Uh, it’s nothing. Just a client.” I shook my head and gave a small smile. “You and Toto, take Albert to the Campus Police Station with Chief Velasquez.” “Are you sure you’re okay? Do you want to discuss the case your client gave?” “No, it’s a simple one. And, I’m pretty sure I’m fine. Now, go.” He nodded and smiled. “If you say so, Detective.” They took away the culprit of the mass food poisoning, while I remained on my spot, stuck in deep thoughts. Most importantly, should I tell them about Indigo’s call? SEVERAL HOURS LATER, I was in my usual seat, waiting for the dismissal bell to ring. The Major and Toto, who were both in the back row, strangely did not make any approach to me. Upon knowing

- 9.1 - The Salcedo Family Reunion (The Case)
LUKE MATTHEW “You’re leaving right now?” AS THE DETECTIVE answered Toto’s question with a nod and ran off, I couldn’t help but feel nervous. I walked back inside the classroom with the Nerd, but I couldn’t shake this feeling off. I must do something! “Toto,” I called after thinking for a few moments. Without waiting for his response, I continued, “Once we’re dismissed, find and follow her. Don’t let her wander the night alone. She said it was him. She can’t just expect me to settle down while she’s out there, chasing death!” “Hey, hey, sit down!” Janden shook my arm. “What are you talking about, Luke?” I didn’t realize I was standing and had stated all of that in a voice that echoed through the room engulfed in silence. To the relief of my chaotic thoughts, Toto gave me a thumbs-up. I made a quick apology to Miss Summerfield and, with a heavy sigh, I sat back down. “What is going on, Luke?” Janden asked as soon as I settled in my seat. “Nothing that needs to worry you,” I coldl
