Casey's POV
"WHAT the hell is this?" sambit ni Jerry
"Do you know this, Andrew?" tanong ko
"No" sagot niya
"Me either" tugon ko
"What a minute, this is a.... cipher" biglang sabi ko. I just notice it
"A cipher?" tanong ni Andrew
"Yes" sagot
"How do you know?" tanong niya
"My instinct told me" sabi ko and i shrugged my shoulder
"Cool instinct" natatawa niyang sabi. Hindi ko nalang siya pinansin at tinuon kona ang atensyon ko sa cipher
AAABAABABBAAAAABAABABAABABAAABABBBAABBBAABBAA
Urgh! I can't get it! I'm not genius ugh!
"Where's Ian?" tanong ko
"I'm here" lumingon naman ako
"Fully recovered?" tanong ko
"Yeah" natatawa niyang sabi "Anyway, bat mo pala ako hinahanap?" tanong niya
"Do you know what kind of cipher is this?" tanong ko sakaniya at pinakita yung cipher
"Hmm... bacon cipher" sagot niya
"How do you know?" tanong ko
"I love codes and cipher Casey, I memorized it all" sagot niya
"I see" tugon ko "What's the answer of this?" tanong ko
"I'll give you a little bit information then you decipher the cipher" ngiti niyang sabi
"Bat mo pa ako papahirapan kung alam mo nanaman yung sagot?" pout kong sabi
"I'd love if you learn some cipher from me haha" natatawa niyang sabi. Weird
"Ugh" angal ko "Give me now some information" sabi ko
Kumuha naman siya ng papel at nagsulat. Binigay niya naman sakin yung papel na sinulatan niya

"God! Thanks for this Ian!" masaya kong sabi, ngumiti naman siya at tinuon kona ang atensyon ko sa sa clue at sa papel

"Oh my god!" sigaw ko
"What happened?" alalang sabi ni Andrew
"I know where the hell is Cheska is!" sigaw ko "She's in the Classroom!" dagdag ko
"You made it again" masayang sabi ni Gwy
"Not yet, lets find Cheska" sambit ko
"But there's a hundred classroom in this Academy tapos fourteen nalang ang natira saatin dito" sabat ni Cess
"Then maghiwa-hiwalay tayo" suggest ni Mae
"Good idea!" sambit ko
"Ganto let's divide into seven groups. First group will be Cess and George. Second group will be Gwyneth and Kenneth. Third group will be Mae and Tope. Fourth group will be Me and Andrew. Fifth group will be Jenny and Ian. Sixth group will be Russel and Jerry. Seventh group will be Daryll and Liam" wika ko
"Got it" sambit nilang lahat
"At dahil may limang building dito sa Academy. Ang first and second group sa Sera Building. Ang third sa Serial Building. Ang fourth and fifth sa Seren Building. Ang sixth sa Selene Building. Ang seventh sa Setene Building" sambit ko
"Okay lang?" tanong ko
"Okay!" sagot nilang lahat
"Lets break a leg!" wika ko at nagtungo na kami nila Andrew, Jenny and Ian sa Seren Building
"Ian and I will go to the first, second and third floor. While Andrew and Jenny sa fourth, fifth and sixth floor kayo. Any objections?" sabi ko. Umiling naman sila
"Lets go and find Cheska! Wiiee" excited kong sabi
"Weird" bulong ni Ian
"Hey I'm not weird" angal ko
"Yes you are" tugon niya
"No I'm not!"
"Yes you are!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"Shut up the both of you" wika samin ni Jenny. Nagsitaasan naman ang balahibo ko g-geez
"L-Lets g-go n-na I-Ian" utal kong sabi at hinila na siya sa may first floor
Pumasok naman kami sa unang room sa first floor
"Clear" sagot naming dalwa
Pumasok naman kami sa second room
"Clear" sagot naming dalawa
* * *
"Ugh wala lahat" angal ko
"Alam mo Casey, unang pasok mo palang sa classroom natin. I find you interesting" sambit niya
"Why?" tanong ko
"I don't know" sagot niya
"You're really weird" natatawa kong sabi
"Nah I'm not" he said, i chuckle
"Really huh?" natatawa kong sabi
"By the way Casey bago ka umuwi, may ibibigay ako sa'yo" sabi niya
"Okay?" wika ko
"Yeah okay" sambit niya
"Casey and Ian!" sigaw ni Andrew na hingal hingal
"Did you find... Cheska?" tanong ko
"No" sagot ni Jenny
*kring* *kring* *kring*
"Excuse me, I'll just answer this" sambit ko sakanila at umalis sa harap nila
"Hello Mae?"
"Casey! We found Cheska!"
"Really? Tell the other groups na pumunta diyan sa building na yan. Papunta na kami. By the way what floor and room?"
"Fourth floor and tenth room"
"Got it. Thanks"
I said and I hung up
"Lets go to the Serial Building, Mae and Tope found Cheska" wika ko at naglakad na kami papunta sa building na yon
* * *
"Thank god you're safe!" wika ni Jerry
"Y-Yeah" sagot ni Cheska. I see fear in her eyes. Why?
"Are you okay Cheska?" tanong ni Daryll
"O-Of course I-Im fine" sagot ni Cheska. She's not good at lying
"Cheska, can we talk?" tanong ko
"S-Sure" sagot niya. Lumabas na kami sa classroom na yon
"Why are you stammering a while ago, Cheska?" tanong ko
"Did I?" sagot niya
"Yes, may problema ba?" tanong ko
"N-Nothing" sagot niya at iniiwas ang tingin niya sakin
"You're not good at lying, Cheska" wika ko
"I-It's j-just I-Im s-scared" sagot niya habang nanginginig
"Why?" tanong ko
"I-I c-cant t-tell i-if I-I t-tell y-you m-my f-family, J-Jerry and D-Daryll w-will d-die!" sambit niya at bumagsak na ang mga luha niya mula sa mata niya
"You can trust me, Cheska" sabi ko sakaniya
"T-They s-said t-that h-huwag d-daw a-ako m-maingay k-kung s-sino s-sila" ani niya. Alam na niya kung sino sila?!
"Sino sila?" tanong ko
"S-Sila..."
