THEfollowing day, pagkatapos na pagkatapos ng aming klase sa Algebrawith Professor Julie Minakata, ay agad akong tumakbo papunta sa amingclub room habang hawak hawak ang papel na naglalaman ng codes nad-in-ecode ko last night. I spent my entire night just to decode thismessage. Pero alam kong worth it 'yon.

Hingal na hingalakong nakarating sa HQ ng aming club. Pagpasok ko, nakita ko sinaTetsuya, Toby, Nzib at Ryn. Nakita ko sa mukha nila ang pagtatakakung bakit hingal na hingal ako.

"I pressumedthat you spent your night and successfully decoded the message thatwas given to you? How can I say? Based on your eyelids, it is kindaswollen which means na kulang ka sa tulog or puyat na puyat ka.Hingal na hingal ka naman ngayon dahil gusto mong ibalita sa amin angresulta ng pagde-decode mo sa cipher. At ang hawak mong papel ay angna-decode mo. Am I right?" bungad sa akin ni Toby na sobra kongikinagulat.

"Wha-? How thehell?" ang tanging naging reaction ko sa deduction niya. I wasreally suprised about how accurate his deductions are. He is indeedthe master of deductions.

"Is that trueDave? Na-decode mo na ang message overnight?!"sigaw ni Nzib withexcitement and energy.

I just nod my headin response. Then inabot ko kay Toby ang papel at sabay-sabay silanglumapit para tignan ang message which says:

At3pm at the 2nd Saturns day of this month. We will be having a BIGcelebration! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Love,
L

All of them are veryshocked but at the same time pinakita pa rin nila kung gaano sila kaseryoso sa na-decode ko. And as usual, Tetsuya and Toby showed noemotions, pero sa tingin ko they are already trying to analyze themessage.

"Do you haveany idea kung ano ibig sabihin ng message na ito, Ryn?" tanongni Nzib sa aming secretary.

"To be honest,I don't have any idea for now. Pero, if I am going to base it on themessage. The word there 'SaturnsDay'will probably means Saturday becausethe word Saturday came from the name of the God of generation,dissolution, plenty, wealth, agriculture, periodic renewal andliberation. In later developments, he's also a godof time.At mukhang may mangyayari sa 2nd Saturday of the month, since we arejust at the first week of the month of JuliusCaesar orJuly." Ryn said as she started to analyze the message.

"So, with themessage itself, there will be an explosion probably a bomb explosionofcourse at the 2nd Saturday of the month at 3 pm. Big celebration?Wait. Ano po bang mayroon sa 2nd Saturday na iyon?" I said as Ianalyzed the message too. Nagkatinginan sila bago lumapit si Tetsuya.

"I am so proudna nakikita na namin ang improvement or galing mo sa pag analyze.Keep it up." Tetsuya said as he praised me, but there is no timefor that.

"With all duerespect, I appreciate that you are commending me for what I am doing.Pero, with the situation we have right now, we should focus more onthe case rather than my improvement. We have to close this case orcapture that freak before its too late to stop it." I saidseriously kaya nagkatinginan ang iba pang members nang MysteriumClava. Then, I saw a slight grin on Toby's lips. Wait? Did hejust smile?

"I like the wayyou think, newbie. So, lets go back to the case. Shall we?" sabini Toby sabay tingin kay Ryn.

"I am not thatsure with the upcoming event but, we can ask the student council forthat." Then, biglang napaisip si Toby.

"I doubt thatCraige will ask for their help but, we currently have no choice butto do it. Dave and Tetsuya, go to the student council and get someinformation."

Nagkatinginan munakami ni Tetsuya at sabay na tumango. Then, agad kaming lumabas ngclub room para pumunta sa 'Officeof the Student Council.'There is no time to waste.
