In The Morning 3
MAFIA GAME
"The sun has risen, Marian, a civilian has been killed. Citizens are open for discussion"
Nagpakawala si Marian ng isang buntong hininga bago sumulyap sa lahat. Hindi siya makapaniwala na siya ang unang napatay."So that's how we play. Ako pa yung nag-aya, ako pa ang namatay ng una. Wow ha! I ove our friendship"
"Wala namang friendship chuchu tong laro na ito" Muro ni Lie kay Anne. "If you're suspicious then you're suspicious"
"Anyhow, sino ang pick niyo na mafia?" Tanong ni Zam sa manglalaro. "Hint para may twist tong game na to. 06 liner siya"
"Then si Lie? Siya yung kilalang 06 liner sa atin" Thea had suggested to the class. Nakatingin ito kay Lie habang sisabi yun.
"Possible yan but pwede rin si Rai" Anne came to Lie's defense. " It can't be Lie since tabi kami at hindi niya tinaas ang ulo niya"
"How can we believe you?" mataray na tanong ni Marian.
"I can prove myself innocent dahil kung ako talaga ang mafia, e tatarget ko ang mga police. You know my way of playing games, I take down the harder opponents first"

"Zy, tuloy tayo downtown?" tanong ni Rob sa kaibigan, nakasandal sa frame ng pintuan ng classroom ni Zyfe. Saktong break para sa kanila at nakachamba rin si Rob na hindi pa lumabas si Zyfe.
"Actually gusto kong puntahan ang AU. There's something about marian's disappearance that irks me" kagabi pa niya itong iniisip. Hindi impossible na nakidnap si Marian due to the fact anak siya ng isang artista ngunit ang nakakapagtaka ay wala pang ransom ang binibigay. " Tas rinig ko na naghahanda sina Lie at Zam para sa publication nila. Baka makakatulong tayo"
" Ang kj mo naman Zy" ungol ni Rob. "Aayayain kita na mag bar"
"Buhay alak talaga" pinukpok ni Zy si Rob. "May pasok pa tayo hoy!"
"Alam ko naman_"
❝Zyfe!❞
Pareho silang tumingin sa kung saan nagmula ang boses at nakita ang grade governor na may isang sulat. Masasabi nila na malayo ang tinakbo nito dahil sa pawis sa noo.
"Anu yun?" Tanong ni Zyfe nang nakaharap na niya ang governor.
"May letter pala mula sa guardhouse. Pinasasabi daw na ipabasa sa iyo" paliwanag ng governor.
"Nagsabi kung sino?" Tanong ni Rob sabay na kinuha ang sulat at binuksan ito at kinuha ang papel na nasad loob. "mabango"
"Wala. Sabi ng guard na may note lang nakadigit na importante daw"
"Ah thanks-"
"Z-zyfe" Nanginginig na tawag ni Rob. "Kailangan mong basahin to"
"Anong-"
"Actually gov! Private po ito kaya hindi ninyo pwedeng basahin" Mabilis na pinigil ni Rob ang governor bago pa nito ma basa ang laman ng sulat. "In fact, kailangan ni Zy na basahin ito na walang tao. Diba Zy?"
"Eh ba't mo-"
"Anyway salamat gov ha! E lilibre lng namin kayo next year!"

HELLO DEAR POLICE!
THIS IS MARIAN NGO'S KILLER ,
ON A FINE JANUARY DAY, AFTERNOON TO BE EXACT, I HAD ACCOMPANIED MARIAN ON HER WAY TO HER MODERATOR'S OFFICE. AT FIRST I PLANNED ON KILLING HER OFF THE SCHOOL; ON THE PRETENSE OF BEING A GOOD FRIEND, BUT CHOSE TO DO IT ON THE SCHOOL. TO MAKE IT MORE THRILLING. I TOLD HER THAT WE SHOULD TAKE THE SHORTCUT THAT THE MEMBERS OF THE SCHOOL PAPER WOULD TAKE TO FASTEN THE JOURNEY TO THE ROOM. THE SHORTCUT WAS NOT THE IDEAL ROUTE TO TAKE AT 8: 45 IN THE EVENING AS ALL LIGHTS IN THE AREA ARE OFF. NOT ONLY THAT BUT IT WAS A CORRIDOR WITH MANY MANY ROOMS THAT WERE GOOD TO BE USED FOR MURDER. I TOLD HER I NEEDED SOMETHING FROM ONE OF THE ROOMS. WE WENT TO THE ROOM AND I TOLD HER TO WAIT OUTSIDE THE ROOM. THERE, I PREPARED THE WEAPON I WOULD USE, A BUTCHER'S KNIFE THAT I HID BEHIND ME. I HAD CHANGED OUT OF OUR UNIFORM. YES, I AM FROM ADAMS UNIVERSITY. BEFORE WEARING THE SCHOOL APRON THAT WE WOULD USE FOR COOKING CLASS. WHEN I WAS READY TO DO THE DEED, I CALLED HER IN TELLING HER THAT I NEEDED HELP CARRYING A BIG POT; BIG ENOUGH TO FIT A HUMAN. I THEN WENT BEHIND THE DOOR UNTIL WENT IN. ANOTHER REASON FOR ME TO SUGGEST USING THIS ROUTE WAS HOW IT WAS ALWAYS DESERTED AT THIS HOUR. NO GUARD, TEACHER, NOR STUDENT WOULD COME HERE. I SUDDENLY GRABBED HER USING MY FREE HAND AND SHE BEGAN SCREAMING BUT IT WAS FUTILE, NO ONE COULD HEAR HER. SHE TRIED TO FIGHT ME WHILE SCREAMING HOW I BETRAYED HER. SORRY GIRLIE BUT A MAFIA KILLS THEIR TARGET. I COULDN'T SWING MY KNIFE, LEAVING ME TO THROW IT TO THE GROUND AND USE MY BARE HANDS TO CHOKE HER THAT LEAD TO HER DEATH. BEING IN THE COOKING LAB HELP IN THE NEXT STEP OF HER MURDER. I HAD CHOPPED HER DOWN TO TINY PIECES THEN PLACED IT TO THE BIG POT FOR EAST STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION. I HAD PLENTY OF TIME. I SPENT IT CLEANING THE SCENE. DON'T EVEN THINK OF GOING THEIR TO GET EVIDENCE. I WIPED IT CLEAN. THIS ISN'T MY FIRST MURDER YOU KNOW. AFTER CLEANING UP, I TOOK THE POT WITH ME AND WENT TO THE BACK OF THE SCHOOL. I MET NO GUARD NOR PASSERBY. I HAD CALLED MY FRIENDS TO HELP ME. WE LEFT THE SCHOOL IN THE DARKNESS OF THE NIGHT.
I THINK THIS SHOULD GIVE YOU AN IDEA MY DEAR POLICES. IF I WERE TO BE CAUGHT, I WANT IT TO BE BY YOU. DON'T EVEN THINK OF TELLING THIS TO THE ACTUAL POLICE UNLESS YOU WANT TO JEOPARDIZE YOUR FAMILIES LIVES. MAYBE I'LL TARGET THEM NEXT.
AND THAT SHOULD BE ALL MY DEAR POLICE! YOU'RE NOT ALONE IN YOUR SEARCH HOWEVER BUT THAT WOULD BE FOR ANOTHER TIME. I HOPE TO WRITE TO YOU AGAIN.
- WITH LOVE,
MAFIA ONE

"Citizens please come to an agreement. Who will you vote off? Lie or Thea"
"Aba punyeta kayo. Naniniwala ako sa sariling kasabihan, ❝Ang kaibigang nagtataksil ay may malaking bilbil❞ And I tenk you!"
"Tangina anong saying yan?" tanong ni Rob, surprised sa sinasabi ng kaibigan.
"Ang tawag dun, Annabihan"
"Jusko si Thea and e vovote off! Dalian na natin o kung anong kasabihan pang e sasabi ni Lie" Nagmamadaling sabi ni Marian. "Pero in fairness witty sya"
"Final choice?"
"Yes"
"Thea has been voted off. thea please reveal your identity"
Biglang tumayo si Thea habang nakangiti na parang nanaalot ito ng lotto. "I am...
A citizen"

Isang linggo.
Isang linggo nang nawawala si Marian at on high alert ang Adams University. Dahil nga unibersidad ito para sa mayayaman. Kailangang higpitan ng paaralan ang seguridad dahil isasapanganib nila ang buhay ng mga tagapagmana at heiresses o nangungunang 1% ng populasyon ng kanilang bansa.
Para sa mga miyembro ng OLLO POR NOVAS, ang pagkawala ni Marian ay nagdadala lamang ng gulo sa kanila. Dahil sa interbensyon ng pulisya, nakansela ang mga plano noong nakaraang linggo. Hindi rin nakatulong na si Marian ay bahagi ng mga news writers na mayroong dalawang nakabinbing ulat.
This left Lie with more trouble than a blessing. ilang isa sa pinakamatandang miyembro ng tauhan, responsibilidad niyang punan ang mga nawawalang artikulo para sa papel. Hindi rin nakatulong na siya ay incharged ng pampanitikang pahina at ang pinakabagong pahina ng kanilang papel.

"You should stop for a while. Hindi ka tatakbuhan niya" Sinabi sa kanya ni Anne nang bumisita ang matanda habang nagpapahinga sa kanyang meryenda."And you should stop thinking about Marian. You're not her friend to begin with"
Tama si Anne. Hindi niya kaibigan si Marian ngunit dahil nga siya and senior sa kanilang dalawa, kailangan niyang gawin ang trabaho ng nawawalang classmate. Handa an siyang magmuro sa office kahit kung ang ibang editorial nasa silid at pwede siyang sitahin for rude behavior.
"Aba! Tang-"
❝Lie!❞
"Ay anak ni- Ano ba yan Zam?!" Tanong ni Lie, may iritasyon sa boses niya habang inilalagay ang mga papel na binabasa. Siya ay nasa kanyang karaniwang mesa na ibabahagi niya sa cartoonist. Nakalulungkot, naiwan siyang mag-isa habang nagpasya ang mga cartoonista na magpahinga.
"May letter ka pala" Inabot sa kanya ni Zam ang isang cream envelope bago inilagay ang sarili sa ibabaw ng mesa."Go on, open it"
Lie looked at her friend in a suspicious manner, "Why? I'll probably read it later. May mga articles pa akong gagawin"
Nakita niya kung paano lumipat ng bahagya ang ekspresyon ni Zam ngunit piniling balewalain ito. Pinatunayan ni Zam na makakakuha siya ng tsaa.
"Right speaking of articles, What would your page pe called?"
"My page?"
"Yes your page"
Tama. Mayroon siyang isang buong pahina na nakatuon sa kanyang sariling sinasabi. Kagalang-galang talaga."Why not Annabihan"
"Annabihan?" Tanong ni Zam habang nakataas ang kilay. "Why?"
"Lianna plus Kasabahin" paliwanag into habang ginagamit ang mga kamay para e interpret it. "Then boom! Annabihan!"

"THE NIGHT HAS FALLEN. CITIZENS GO TO SLEEP POLICE WAKE UP AND POINT AT SOMEONE YOU WANT TO INVESTIGATE"
Both Zyfe and Rob raised their heads before looking at each other. Zyfe wanted to know Lie's identity due to what she said. Rob on the other hand wanted pick Rai but seeing Zyfe look at Lie made him follow. Zyfe was in a way the smarter one between the two.
"Lie"
"Lie is....
