SI Class

All of them followed the butler, looking around the mansion. They do not know why but it gives a familiar scent for all of them. Because of the mansion's resort vibe, none of them could control their excitement and curiosity. But soon after the butler opens the door, the excitement they're feeling slowly fades.

There are different rooms in front of them but the butler opens the on the center. Traditional music reaches their ears and the soft scents travel on their nostrils. A sofa was placed at the center, in front of that is a single sofa where a woman who carries the word "elegance" is sitting in front of them.

"Good morning, children!" She happily greeted them despite how busy she is. Her cheerfully unfazed smile caught them off guard. They knew it, she's probably hiding something behind her smile. The way she moved every muscles in her small body left a huge impact to them. They are sure that Melissa called them was because of the case and Keevah knew they cannot lose that information as she have a hunch that it might be a reason to be ten times ahead.

"Did you just call us children?" Sui's unique attitude did her job once again. Her eyes was glued to the woman sitting on the sofa, just then, a loud sound stopped us from talking.

"Yes, my dear. I didn't expect you to be this interesting, Sui." Kelsey who loves this kind of situation were smiling from ear to ear. The furniture, walls, and other things inside the room suddenly moved. The light turns off, leaving the huge room dark and silent. None of them dared to open their mouth except to the youngest, Sui.

"Well, yes. I'll take that as a compliment." Every words escaping Sui's rude lips moved every piece of the room. They watch the beautiful room becoming an underground basement. There, old news papers, pictures, card board, banner, and even flyers were glued at the walls. News about every murder case in the town were scattered around the floor.

Aiken picked up the news paper on his foot and read it aloud. "Police found out that the woman's body outside the shopping mall was Winnona Cage. a 29-year-old chemical engineer." Hearing that, some of them starts picking up the papers on the floor and some looked at the walls. That information isn't that helpful for them but Cleo still took a photo, looking bothered,

"What is this?" Diana pointed at the board up the wall. She slightly tilt her head to read the word but it's useless. It was just a letter written just to be a display there. There are no meaning to it for Diana so she go to where Luke is and analyze the board game lying on the floor. Keevah wrote everything down to her notepad then go to the wall where there is no papers nor any decorations.

She narrowed her eyes before putting her right hand on her chin. Keevah know that Melissa is trying to help them but these whole thing is too much for a highschool students like them. Kelsey, Alex, Leo, and Hazel sits down on the floor, eyes fixated on the painted landscape in the wall.

"Haniel, I think he knew who's behind his murder." Melissa who's standing there, arms fold said. Her eyes is swollen as if she's holding the tears from flowing. All of them turned to look at her. "Isn't that obvious?" Cody mumbled, didn't know that everyone in the room could hear what he's saying. Just like Sui, Cody is a straightforward and a hot tempered person, he doesn't like being put in a situation where there is no process.

"He's right though," Justin said, eyes on the card. All belongings, decorations, and papers in the room have the number of 110308 and that's what Leo's been telling the three people sitting beside him. Even though he isn't as smart as Prince at least he is smarter than the three beside him.

"What I'm saying is there are number 110308 on every photos, paintings, and papers here. Look at this painting, look carefully okay?" He pointed the hidden number written on the paintings background. But the three cannot seem to see nor to understand what he's trying to say.

"What is it, Leo?" Aiken comes to his side and sit behind him, looking at the painting. Hazel let out a big sigh before standing up, walking toward Sui who's busy analyzing the upside down letters Diana checked earlier.

"Look, it's 110308. Then look around, you will numbers like everywhere!" Leo exclaimed making everyone go to them. Even Melissa who's standing far away could hear what he is saying.

"Cleo, are you done with your camera?" Keevah asked. She's still looking at the empty walls near the door, Cleo walked towards her and give her the camera. Aiken looked at the painting once again then stand beside Keevah and Cleo. Keevah is thinking that this walls might have a clue as well as the other corner of the room but she can't think of any reasons or way to make the walls' clues and information visible.

"Hey look, there's a compartment here!" Diana raises her hand and wave it, cheerfully just like a cute puppy. Her beautiful smile made everyone smile as well. Keevah hastily walk where Diana is and kneel down together with Cleo.

"It's a six digits code." Keevah looked at Leo as she knew Leo was babbling something to Kelsey, Alex, and Hazel earlier. He skip walks and smile. Everyone is anticipating what he's gonna say but he just stared at Keevah. Impatient, his friend together with Melissa frowned. Justin's large hand flew on Leo's head making him stumble.

"You're serious, just smile! Try numbers 110308." Everyone exhaled except to Leo that's been smiling ever since. Diana try the numbers but unfortunately, it's incorrect. Keevah looked around and think: "The blank walls, the board games, the cards, they all happened at 083011!"

"Try this: 083011." Keevah puts her hand on her chin and look again at the empty walls. There is a movie that became famous because of setting of the movie, the mental hospital's white room, The board game competitions happened that year, and the last clue, the cars on every corner of this room symbolized the rally that year, 2011. Rally became normal that year because of the corrupt politicians that all the shops, stores here ran out of card boards, that's why to avoid rally, the government prohibited everyone to manufactured cardboard when it's time of elections which is every August 30.

"It opened!" Bubble exclaimed in excitement. Inside the compartment is a key. She took it and shrug.

All of them thought that the compartment is the answer and didn't except it to be the key. They scattered again, worried that their investigation might to to waste. Aiken walks toward Keevah who's standing in front of the blank wall once again, focused, she didn't even realized that he's standing right next to her.

But then, she opens her mouth and slightly lean closer, whispering. "Have you watched the movie 'I'm not a psycho'?" She lower her voice as everyone in the room is so focused looking for the lock. Aiken hold his laugh and answer her instead.

"Yes. ." He turned his head on the corner, not wanting to see her reactions. "Do you remember how he escaped?" She asked again, looking at him.

"Yes, he knocked on the wall and waited for three second before kicking the wall hard." He slowly looked at her and knocked on the wall. She waited for three seconds before kicking the wall at the same time. It must too loud as everyone averted their eyes on them and hurriedly comet to them. There, the wall is slowly parting to two.

"That's it? I should've done it earlier." Keevah mumbled. Melissa walks toward them and tilt her head as she saw five photos hanging on the wall.

"It's a photo of Justin, Cleo, Sui, Keevah, and Aiken?" Hazel hesitantly touched the photos of her friends then look back at them. They knew it was a picture of SI Class but what make them confused is the photo of Aiken hanging on the center when he is not a part of the class. And there is a small hole on his photo.

"SI Class, what is the meaning of that?" Melisaa asked, lips curled into a sly smile. Keevah who knew nothing about the class steps in, wanting to hear the same answer.

"Special Intelligence Class is a high class training group."
