"Hindi pa siya napasok dalawang buwan na, simula noong mamatay ang anak niyang babae ay bigla nalang siya hindi pumasok, hindi muna namin pinansin dahil nawala ang kanyang anak pero pagkalipas ng isang buwan ay wala parin siya kahit isang tawag wala, nagaalala na nga kaming lahat dito eh" inulit ng isang officer ang sinabi ng isang construction worker. Pumasok kaagad sa isipan ko na ang salarin namin ay walang iba kung hindi ang ama ni Stephanie. "Inspector, may sasabihin po ako" sabi ko at bumulong kay inspector "Ano?!" sigaw niya "kung ganon nga eh, anong gagawin natin?" Tanong niya "I already thought of a plan, we'll make our own quicksand!" I said while smiling like I've won a competition where millions of cash is the prize.

MICHELLE

My name is Michelle Lopez. I've been friends with Geo ever since we were in first grade. We've been classmates since kindergarten so I've known him since forever, he's always been a mystery geek, he always follows his curiosity, that's why he's here, solving crimes. But, I'm here too, not to solve mysteries, but to make sure that he's not overdoing himself and not taking cases na mapapahamak siya. Gusto niyo ba malaman secret ko? Simula pa nung bata pa kami Geo has been my hero, my knight in shining armor. He always protected me even if sometimes it could lead him to danger, but he's always been like that, palagi nalang niya iniisip ang iba bago ang sarili niya, kahit na delikado gagawin pa rin niya pero sa likod ng katapangan niya, alam ko na natatakot rin siya hindi niya lang ipinapakita, I don't know about what you think about it but, to me. It's kinda cute. Alright enough of Geo, time to talk about myself next! My name is Michelle Lopez, 13 years old and my favorite dessert is salad! I've always been a coward and soft hearted ever since I was little. Sabi ng ni mama, palagi daw akong umiiyak sa maliliit na bagay simula pa nung bata ako. My parents aren't the ones who picked my name, it was my grandparents. My grandparents are very religious people, kaya pinangalan nila akong Michelle na ang ibig sabihin ay close to God, mom said that they kept saying that they should name me Michelle, so my parents have no choice but to name me Michelle. Anyway, bakit ayaw ipakita sakin ni Geo ang papel na nahanap niya? Nakakainis naman!

GEO

2:30 a.m. mula sa bahay ni Stephanie ay bumalik kami sa zoo na may hawak na tig-iisang balde na may laman na parang liquid ang mga officer. Nag ikot ang mga police kasama si Raymond at inspector sa paligid. Habang ako, si Michelle at Jim ay naiwan kasama si Eddie, nagtingin-tingin narin ako sa paligid kung sakali ay makahanap ako ng clue. Makalipas ang 30 minutes 3:00 a.m. ay bumalik ang mga officers "Mukhang isang hellhound nga ang ang salarin natin" sabi ko

"Talaga?" Tanong ni Michelle, nagsimulang magligpit ang mga pulis ng mga gamit nila, sumakay sa sasakyan at nag drive. Naiwan si eddie para kunin ang kanyang mga naiwang gamit, maya-maya ay may maliliwanag na pulang mata na lumabas mula sa dilim, natakot si Eddie kaya nagmadali siya at tumakbo hinabol siya nito at unti-unting lumabas ang isang malaking aso sa dilim. Malaki ito, maitim ang katawan at mapula ang kanyang mga mata hinabol siya nito hanggang sa huminto ito sa gitna. Nakalabas si Eddie ng zoo, maya-maya ay may lalaki na lumabas sa anino, may dala siyang parang remote at sinubukang buhatin, nawala ang pulang ilaw sa mata ng maitim na aso at habang binubuhat niya ito ay binuksan ng mga pulis ang ilang malalaking arri lights sa paligid, nagulat at napahinto ang ang lalaki at lumabas kami nila inspector sa pinagtataguan namin "HULI KA BALBON!" sigaw ni Raymond at sabay tumawa "nahuli ka na, kaya sumuko kana at bitawan yung robot na aso mo" sabi ni Inspector "huh? Anong- bakit di ako makagalaw?" sabi ng lalaki "oobleck, gumamit kami ng oobleck para ma-trap ka ang oobleck ay pinaghalong cornstarch at tubig. Bilang isang halo ng isang solid at isang liquid, tumatagal ito ng mga pag-aari ng pareho, at kumikilos sa hindi mahuhulaang mga paraan. Oobleck is like a slime that turns into solid when you punch it hard or move it as fast as you can, but if you used over a hundred buckets full of oobleck placing it on the ground it will become a quick sand" I stated "I also found your listening device behind the bushes, with your listening device, we somehow manage to trick you" tinuloy ko "but how did you know that it was a robot?" tanong ng lalaki "Layla said when she was caught by the hound, it was heavy like a metal is crushing her, and she found a burning bite mark on the neck of the victim which means something hot bit him or a mechanical machine that heats up the whole model, plus the forensics can't find any DNA of a dog, not even a single piece of saliva that this hound own" sagot ko "You don't understand! I have to avenge my daughter! Kasalanan niyo kung bakit siya namatay! Kung tinulungan ninyo man lang siya bilang kaibigan- bilang isang katrabaho, ay sana buhay pa ang anak ko!" sigaw niya

"Naiintindihan ko ang nararamdaman mo, may asawa at anak na babae rin ako kagaya mo. and if something bad happen to them I would lose my mind and probably do the same thing you did, probably something even worse, the two of them are precious to me, they were the reason I'm staying strong, sure my wife and I used to fight a lot but, that doesn't change the fact that I love her. Fine you can say that I'm lucky because I still have my family, but i feel what you feel because I'm a father too, and I would do anything even sacrifice my humanity just to make sure that they will be safe, because if living in a world without my angels I'd rather die alone than live a life without them" Raymond said

"Papa" bulong ni Michelle

"I know that if your wife and daughter are here, I'm sure that they wouldn't want you to do bad things just for them, so just give up alright?" Raymond continued "and, stop" Michelle said and clicked her phone "what are you doing?" tanong ko "nirecord ko ang sinabi ng Papa simula umpisa" sabi niya at ngumiti at tuwang-tuwa. The man gave up and the police put a handcuff on the man's wrist, "mister!" I yelled while running towards the man, and he looked back at me "can I ask a question?"

"Sure, what is it kid?"

"where did you get all the materials for the robot?" tanong ko

"Online, it's called ADAM'S.com it was a website where you could ask anything you want, but he will ask you where will you use it for"

"He?"

"ADAM'S. I said that I want to eliminate the bad and revenge my daughter. And he agreed. He said that I can't tell this to anyone but since you asked I told you"

"Did you saw his face?"

"No, we only talked through video call, but his face wasn't on the screen, it was an image"

"can you draw the image" I asked and gave him a paper and a marker

"From what i remember it was like this" he said and gave me the paper

What is this? An owl?  "Geo let's go home!" Michelle yelled "Oo, papunta nako" sagot ko

What is this? An owl? "Geo let's go home!" Michelle yelled "Oo, papunta nako" sagot ko

" nasaan na nga pala sila Jim at Layla?" tanong ko

"Umuwi na daw sila" sagot ni Raymond

"Michelle anong meron? Bakit parang natulala ka diyan?" tanong ko

"5:00 a.m. na, mahuhuli na tayo sa school!!"

"Huh? Ehh?!". Matapos ang kaso nagsimulang mag investigate si Inspector sa Police Department, may ibang mga police ang nahuli dahil sila ay may kinalaman sa pagbili ng ipinagbabawal na gamot sa manager ng zoo.
CASE CLOSED....
