Did you know that you need a refreshing cup of coffee to start your day? I love coffee. I hope you don't mind reading my stories. Who knows that my stories have a clue? Haha!

It's Sunday today. Did you have fun going to church with the prosecutor? Why am I aware of this? Because I'm watching you! Haha! I also noticed you have a new member in your group. The more the merrier, right? Haha! Wait? Is that what you're saying? Is that the great undercover Yves Calderon? Whoa! I want his autograph. I'm his secret fan because he is a secret agent. Hahaha! Don't tell him, but I know his favorite number. It's three.

Apologies, Miss Destry. I saw you on the news again. You caught the killer of Welson Falcon. I'm fantastic, right? I already knew who killed him that night, so I gave the prosecutor a hint.

I hope that message didn't scare the both of you. I just want to help, because I'm Alexander the Great! Haha!

I want to tell you a lot of stories, Miss Destry. You know, years ago, I met a beautiful girl named Thailah. She looks like you. You are both the same, lovely. But, unfortunately, she died. You know who killed her? Me? Of course not! She committed suicide because her king left her. I'm laughing as I recall her sobs in the middle of the night. Natakot ba kita, Miss Destry? Gusto ko lang ikuwento sayo ang kwento niya, and that will be your story soon. Joke! Haha.

Anyway, I hope I didn't waste your time, but on the other hand, I love to waste your time. It's suddenly popped into my mind. I wondered if you watched cartoons or some anime when you were a child. I enjoy watching anime! Especially the anime detective. May kilala ka bang gano'n? Can you recommend one for me? I'm bored. I want to watch an anime detective character.

But, wait! Who am I to waste your time? I'm just a knight who wants to be with you. But on the other hand, I'm sure you want to know who's the killer of your sister? I'm sure you're waiting for me to drop another clue. Haha! Easy, Miss Destry.

I gave you a clue, but you need to find it. So, the clue will have a clue, gets mo? Haha! Funny, right? Also, trilling! But, 'wag kang mag-alala Miss Destry. I'll make sure that the clue will be a big help for you to find who the killer is. Adios, and I'll see you on your next case.

You fly off the handle
when I push your button,
old skin and bones, black bat wing.
You are my roof, frail thing,
and you are my argument
against the entire sky.
When the wind is at my back,
we're prone to getting carried away
and saying something
we'll never be able to take back.

Goodluck to crack this code, Detective!
