CHAPTER 47

Boys and Computer Records

REN

LUNES NANG UMAGA nang makatanggap kami ng tawag galing kay Lt Damaso na siyang nagpangulo sa imbestigasyon sa pagdukot sa akin. Hindi pa rin nila sila mapagsalita.

However, the gun that the young motorcycle rider used was confirmed to be a Glock 19 stolen from his own father, the registration was filed smooth and was confirmed to be illegally possessed. It was probably stolen from deals and was illegally sold to the father and his son thought it is a good idea to steal a stolen gun from him.

We drove to the station after my classes to hear more from them.

"Maaaring hindi ka talaga nila planong patayin, Miss. Kung talagang balak ka nilang patayin, hindi ka na nila hinayaang makatakas pa. Ang batang iyon, na may dalang baril ay nahanapan namin ng records sa dalawang shooting range. Nakahingi kami ng mga video clips habang nagpapaputok siya ng baril sa isang range."

Ipinanood ni Lt Damaso ang video clip kung saan sunod-sunod ang pagpapakawala ng lalaking nasa kabilang dulo ng 300-foot target. Asintado ang lahat ng tira niya at hindi man lamang ito kumurap. Hindi ko mapigilang mapaupo dala ng biglang takot na gumapang sa aking katawan. Naramdaman iyon ni Knight at ako ay kanyang  hinimas sa likod.

He's a sharp shooter.

So does this mean, he did not intend to really kill me but to slow down my escape?

"Ang maaari naming maging lead dito ay may nag-utos talaga sa kanila upang dakpin kayo. Ma'am, may naaalala ba kayong nakaalitan ninyo nitong mga nakaraan?"

I recalled the chances that I might have encountered certain circumstances of having disputes until I got one. I looked at Knight and he seems to be thinking the same thing as me.

"May nakaalitan po ako, certainly pero imposible namang kaya nilang gawin ang mga ganitong bagay. Sobrang babaw ng dahilan—

"Ma'am, it is unfortunate to tell you but at times like this, there are no such things as impossible. We need leads. You told us that the three intruders who died of food poisoning inside the cell were teaming up with the three other suspects and one is still out and might do something against you again. Sino po ang nakaalitan ninyo?"

Nag-alangan akong banggitin ang kanilang mga pangalan ngunit ako na rin ay napilitan dahil tama ang nasabi ng tinyente.

"Mga anak po ni Chief Justice Velez."

Nanahimik ang silid at nagtinginan ang tinyente at ang kasama nitong detective. Ipinatong ni Knight ang kanyang kamay sa aking balikat at saka hinintay ang sasabihin ni LT Damaso.

"Ano po ba ang naging sanhi ng alitan ninyo?"

"Sobrang babaw po. May dalawang episode iyon. Noong unang magkita kami, nasa village ako kung nasaan ang mga Romualdez dahil may inihatid akong order sa kanila tapos nakasalubong ko ang magkapatid habang nagjajogging. Bigla nila akong pinaglalalait tapos sumagot ako. Akala ko naman doon na nagtapos ang pagkikita namin pero nagkita ulit kaming tatlo sa birthday party ng kambal ng mga Romualdez."

Knight confirmed it as he gave his statements that he witnessed the commotion where the sisters cornered me and humiliated me as they smeared honey all over my head and I ended up in the ice sculpture that was being preserved with some corrosive chemicals.

Tumango ang tinyente at saka nagsimulang utusan ang detective na kasama upang mag-ayos ng plano para makausap ang magkapatid na Velez.

"Gagawin namin ang lahat para malaman ang totoo, Miss."
