"Sure ka na dyan sa plano mo?" Kuya Creios asked. Umiling ako, pati ako'y kinakabahan sa kalalabasan ng plano ko.

I just that person dead, being killed by my own hands. But something is making nervous. I should be confident, but that's not what I am feeling.

"Hindi ka pa desidido sa plano mo. Pwede pa nating ibahin." sabad ni Caliks.

Hindi namin ipinarinig kay Daddy ang buong plano dahil alam kong hindi sya papayag. And I just found out that yesterday the killer tried to kill my brother, Cailer.

"We just need time to make sure about it, wala tayong babaguhin."

"I searched her name. Lyra Mercado has a family, she's a known cook in a restaurant near the plaza." napatingin kami kay Caliks nang magsalita sya.

"Sya ang main suspect natin pero hindi pa natin alam kung totoo ngang pagbintangan natin sya."

"That's why, Kuya. That is why I searched informations about her because we're not still convinced that she's the suspect." Caliks said, making me shut. "at nakita ko rin ang mga records nya sa iba't ibang police station sa bansa at iisa lang ang nakita kong result,"

"What's the result?" I asked.

"Sinubukan nyang pabagsakin ang kalaban nyang restaurant." he answered. "She has two sons and a daughter, they were living near the university. Two of her children were in college while the youngest is in high school."

"Name them then."

Tumingin sya sa akin bago tumingin sa papel. Pero pagkatapos non ay palipat lipat na ang tingin nya sa akin at sa papel.

"Aid." mahinang sabi ni Kuya Creios nang mabasa nya ang hawak na papel ni Caliks.

Inis akong tumingin sa kanila tsaka walang ganang inagaw ang papel pero hindi nila ako pinayagan.

"What the hell is your problem?"

Agad silang umiling at itinago ang papel. Hindi ko sila pinayagang itago yon dahil alam kong epekto ng pagiging gago nila ang nakasulat sa papel na iyon.

Sinuntok ko sa panga si Caliks tsaka ko sinipa si Kuya na nailagan nya, tumumba ang kakambal ko habang lumalaban ako kay Kuya. I want the full information for fuck's sake!

I stopped attacking him and think of some ways to get the paper. I need to punch and kick him at the same time and... I did. I fucking did.

I finally got the paper and had the guts to read it but a word made me stop, no. It's a name.

I looked at them before looking at the paper again.

'Her children were studying in the same university. The two were in college, and the youngest was in high school. Namely;
Lorcan Weas Quinn
Akiara Monique Quinn
Levis Seiji Quinn'

The three names made me cry. Hindi sila ang nasa isip ko. No he's not connected to my Mom's killer.

I still need to confirm it, this paper isn't telling the truth.

"Kuya, tell me it's not him." I begged, they are looking at me with worries.

Masakit sa akin, hindi ko kayang sundin ang plano kung may koneksyon sya rito. Ayoko.

"Kuya will be here, no matter what. Nandito si kuya, hindi ka namin iiwan." he smiled at me, but I can't help but to cry harder.

He didn't confirmed it and he didn't denied. Hindi ko kaya, sobrang sakit.

Hindi ko ramdam yung comfort sa kanya, no one can make me very comfortable but Mom. Mom can make me smile but they can't, even him. 

I was occupied the whole day. They decided to sent me home tomorrow because it has still classes. Hindi ko lang alam kay Caliks, kuya already had a one month school break so he can take care of Dad and Cailer.
