Chapter 22: It's Starting

Mika's P.O.V

Nothing much happened today, just an ordinary school day having lunch and all the chit chats with the squad that I can't relate to.

Eating outside, I roamed my gaze in the area, I felt an uneasy feeling, the kind of feeling where I know there is something terrible that is going to happen.

Kalix happened to notice my bothered look and decided to talk to me in a low voice so the others wouldn't hear it.

"Hey, are you okay? you look so bothered...have any problem?" he asked full of concern while looking at me directly in the eye.

"Yeah, I'm fine...but for some reason, I have this feeling that something terrible is going to happen" I answered honestly.

"like what?"

I was about to answer when we heard a loud sharp shout from a girl coming from the library.

"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!"

All of our attention was now on the source of the shout, Kalix and I quickly got up to enter the library but one caught my attention making me stop, the hooded person is, here again, looking at me with an intense glare, I may have not seen its full face because of the mask but its eyes, its like shooting me with sharp daggers just by looking.

"Mika let's go, someone needs our help" Kalix snapped me out, bringing me back into my senses and quickly entered the library.

"Hello? where are you?" I called out to know where she was exactly located.

"I-i'm h-here right s-side..6th r-row of history b-book s-shelf" a voice of a girl answered.

Rushing to the said location, we are stopped by what was in there, a dead body greeted us.

"No way, Mr. Alfonso!!!" Kalix shouted rushing to the body.

"Kalix don't...you might destroy the hidden evidence if you touch the body" I stopped him before he can lay a hand on the victim's body.

As time passes students started to fill the library and we tried our best to restrict them from getting close to the victim.

We took out some books to act as a fence from the students that want to get closer in, The witness is still in shock and was still trembling, Kalix tried to calm her down as he guided her to the other side of the room.

A few minutes later, teachers arrived and called the police, I already did my investigation but the crime is so...so...Perfect.

The cut on the victim's neck is so neat, it's a clean....clean crime, the blood that marked on the shelf almost had a perfect line.

Only a well-trained assassin can do this kind of murder...almost a perfect murder except for one thing.

"What happened here? where is the witness?" Police asked me and I pointed out where Kalix and the witness are.

"Wait, what are you kids doing inside a crime scene, you might contaminate the evidence, go back to your respective rooms," The Policeman said making me smirk, he doesn't know who I am, I then took out my badge and shove it in front of his face.

"Oh, I'm sorry miss Stanford I didn't recognize you" He quickly apologized and just smiled at him.

Students are now back in their respective classrooms except for me and kalix as we have the authority to join the investigation.

As much as I wanna know the flaw of this crime but it's just gonna be useless, the killer isn't here anymore and its identity is still unknown.

Alfred Alfonso, the adviser of Peace Sentinel Battalion (PSB)...he was found dead on the right side, 6th row of the shelf, his neck was neatly sliced that killed him instantly, a student named Amanda Natividad found him lying dead on the floor around 11:50 am.

"So what can you say about this crime Ms. detective?" An officer asked me

"I need to talk to the inspector in-charge first where is he?" I asked back and roamed my eyes looking for the inspector in-charge.

"I'm sorry Ms. detective but inspector Lee can't come right now, he has a lot of errands to do"

I was a little bit surprise, Inspector always cancels his extra errands when there's a criminal case.

"Oh okay, uh we need to go" The officer called me twice but I already turned my heel on him and didn't look back "Kalix we need to go" I whispered to him.

"W-what? what about the case?" he hesitated "The case can't be solved Kal, the culprit is nowhere to be found now and even if we solve it, its useless, police can't do anything about it" I explained and the two of us exited the library.

"So what are we gonna do now? we cant just set that aside"

"Who said we are just gonna put that aside? we need to go back to the HQ, the killer left something that can lead us to them"

"Them? there are more of...THEM?!?"

"Yes kalix...there are hundreds of them and if we don't do anything about it...this could get worse...A LOT WORSE"

We skipped our classes for this afternoon just to go and report back at our headquarters...the board needs to know.

I then explained to kalix about the hooded person that has been following us and I'm sure that THAT PERSON is responsible for the crime that happened earlier...

We did change our clothes first and put some mask on before we entered the headquarters, we need to be cautious, someone might be following us secretly.

"Oh Good Afternoon Mika, and Mr. Marquesa, what brings you here? it's still class hours" Mr. Chair greeted us when we entered his office.

"Good Afternoon Mr. Chair we skipped class because we have a very important matter to discuss Mr. Chair," I said seriously and Mr. Chair's smile was replaced with a serious one.

The three of us were seated around the table of Mr. Chair and then I started talking.

"A crime happened earlier at our campus and the killer is nowhere to be found...but that person left this" I showed them a ring that has an eye logo.

"They are starting Mr. Chair....a bloody massacre is now starting...little by little... blood will shed, cries will be heard and we need to do something"
