Prologue

The room was dark. It's raining cats and dogs outside. The only source of light is coming from the windows. The room is soundproof, if anyone plans to do something loud, it's the best place to do it.

A man wearing black cap is whistling. He was also wearing black jacket and black jeans. He's now humming a song.

"This is the song you made, incase you didn't heard it yet. You made the lyrics but I, ako tumapos sa tono. It's nice isn't it?"  The man with the black cap said while singing. He's standing in front of the bed while crossing his arms, staring at a guy with bloods on its hand. Nakahawak ito sa kanyang leeg. Halos di makahinga.

"Ah, ak-"

"I love everything you made. It helps me reached to top. Unfortunately," he paused. An evil smile arose on its lips. "I need you dead."

"Yo-you'll.. p-pay ... f-f-for ... this." The man is struggling to say a word but he still managed. He's neck is getting red seconds by seconds.

"Ha! As if! Few minutes more and you're dead meat already. No one's coming to help you. Savor your last minutes. " The man with the black cap said. The doorbell suddenly rang. "I gotta go now, Lucas." He said and made a devilish laugh and waved.

The guy walked out of the room while whistling. He's glad his plan works. Para sa pangarap niya, gagawin niya lahat. He opened the door and a lady, same as her age is infront of it.

"Andyan ba si Lucas? Someone wants to give this to him." The lady asked. Hanggang balikat ang itim na buhok nito. May soot na eyeglasses at may dala din itong payong na basa, halatang kakagaling lang sa labas. Hawak ng isa nitong kamay ang isang box na may ribbon.

"Hey nerd. Wala dito si Lucas, hinahanap ko rin sya. Ako nalang magbibigay nyan sakanya kapag nakita ko sya." Sabi nito saka kinuha ang box sa kamay ng dalaga.

"S-sige, salamat." Utal nitong sabi. Pinagmasdan ng dalaga ang soot ng lalaki mula ulo hanggang paa. Parang may kakaiba sa isip ng dalaga.

"Di ka pa ba aalis?" Tanong ng lalaki na may pagkainis. Nagtatagpo ang dalawa nitong kilay.

"A-aalis na." Nauutal na sabi ng dalaga at dali-daling naglakad papunta sa kabilang unit. Binuksan nito ang pinto at pumasok.

Naiwan ang lalaki na nakatayo parin malapit sa pinto ng unit ni Lucas. Bumaba ang kanyang tingin sa cake na hawak.

"Here's another reason why you need to be dead, Lucas." He said and shake his head. He closed the door of his dead friend's unit and began walking. Tinapon niya ang cake sa basurahan malapit sa elevator tsaka pumasok. Di mawala sa labi niya ang ngiti. Nagtagumpay ito sa plano.

Pagkababa ng elevator sa ground floor ay may biglang tumawag sa kanyang cellphone.

["Bro, wag ka nang pumunta dito. Uuwi na kami, badtrip! Umulan kase."]

[Ganon ba? Sayang naman. Sige, sige."]

Then he hunged up the call.
