CHAPTER 9: SUSPICIOUS SUSPECTS.

1.


There are four suspects of the incident, two male students and two female students. They all had been caught stealing days or months prior to the incident, which is the reason why they became one of the suspects.


The first suspect is a student named Alloy; he is a student from the 12th grade who allegedly stole 1,500 Pesos from a student. Said the owner of the money, he is supposed to use the money to pay his tuition fee. The owner is extremely sad about the incident.


The second suspect is a student named Zeth; he is a student also from the 12th grade who stole a digital camera from his classmates. He was caught gladly because of the lost item's owner itself. The owner of the item noticed that the "new digital camera" Zeth got looks suspicious (Zeth wrapped the camera with a bunch of tapes) the owner ripped the tape off the camera and finally found the answer.


The third suspect is a student named Una; she is a student from the 11th grade who allegedly stole a pair of shoes. Plot twist, the fourth suspect Lena actually stole the pair. Lena actually tried to negotiate with Una, saying that she would sell the expensive pair of shoes and give half the income to her for being quiet, but Una is now pissed and decided to spill everything to the guidance.


Alloy denied the accusation because he doesn't know a girl named Ezra. Zeth also denied it because he is gay and is not interested in Ezra and he doesn't know her before the incident. Una denied the accusation because she doesn't give a fuck, and she also doesn't know about Ezra. Lena also denied the accusation because she is now in the different school, why the fuck is she called if she is now in another school? This is fucking messed up.


Lax wrote everything; Alloy, Zeth, Una, and Lena. Familiar? Whatever.

It's finally lunch time. Lax, Ezra, and Zeddy went to the canteen, but before they could finally get out of their own classroom, Lax saw someone grab a folder into someone's bag. Lax instantly identified the thief as familiar. The thief is relevant to the whole story, so relevant.


They are now in the canteen finally. Lax ordered Betamax and Dinuguan for 1+ health. And the rest buy the new food in their favorite shop's menu; Tamarind spike, basically just a bowl filled with tamarind. Fun fact, tamarind can be a good laxative if you know you know.


As they both normal person ate the whole tamarind bowl, they then instantly went to the fucking bathroom, leaving Lax alone in the canteen, surrounded by a crowd that would literally look at something when there's a loud unexpected noise. As the disguised nervous undead stood up to find their friends, five hands then began to hold his hands.


He already knew that the danger was coming, so he decided to crochet a new beanie before that day started. And as the cruel Rick pulls his beanie mask off, a new mask then suddenly appears on his face. It is double-layered so, yeah. Before Rick can grab the second mask, Lax then runs towards a quiet place.


"That was a close one, my gosh. Thank you for your survival instinct." Lax whispered to himself. He then began to open his cell phone to tell Ezra the whole story and why he is going absent. After he told Ezra everything on the phone, he then decided to head home to take a rest, such a lazy immortal.

"Tomorrow is the pictorial day, what are you going to wear tomorrow?" Ezra asked me at 8:30p.m.

"Uhh, mask and uniform ." Lax answered. "I have to tell you something."

"What is it?" Ezra asked with confusion and curiosity.


"I know who the thief is. And he is so relevant to the fight. I found the

puzzle and I solved it properly"
