The next morning....

"Code..... I think it is something tricky" A girlish voice said over the breakfast table.

The Cricket's family eat their breakfast together the next morning since John does not need to report to work so early today... Their parents finished breakfast earlier, and now only left the cricket's siblings...

"1TD...H2D...Where did you guys find that note?" John's other brother Johnathan asks.

"Private and confidential. We can't share" John replied back.

"Have you guys heard the news last night?" His sister asked again.

"Isn't that the same top news they report for nearly two weeks?" Johnathan exclaimed.

"The news.... The what? Dead body news?" Benjamin asks again. To clarify the conversation with the rest....

"Yap. The dead bodies.... Gosh the killer is so ruthless... Like he wanna them to die so bad—" Katherine stated again, but was interrupted by one of her older brothers...

"Dead?.... What did you say?" John asks.

"He wants them dead..." Katherine repeated.

"Dead...Dead...De- HOLY SHIT, THANKS ALOT" He said and quickly rushed to his room to do his own business...

"Thank me for what?" Katherine asks, facing her other two brothers.

The two older guys shrugged their shoulders and went back to eat...

10:30a.m.....

"1TD equals Want. To. Die"

"H2D equals Happy. To. Die"

"Sounds like this person is really crazy, wanting whoever that is to die so badly"

The squad now gather around John's computer as he explains to them the code's meaning....

"How did you manage to find out the meaning?" Sue asked as she was curious how the younger guy managed to crack it overnight.

"Oh. You gotta thank my sister now. She mentioned the word dead and I suddenly remember that you told me whoever wrote this is a killer not a child. So.... the only point here is he wants them dead, so it should be something related to death" He finished explaining to her his side of story.

"Ok. Now the code is done.... So what now?" Susan asks, turning to Sue.

"Now let's—" before she could finish her words somebody literally interrupted her....

"Ahm... guys. Check this out" one of the newbie guy from the research team called out, sitting opposite John's work-desk....

Everybody is now literally staring at the newbie guy's computer, trying to process what they just see and what he just found out.

"So ahm. The both of them actually are best friends...." The newbie guy explained to them.

"Wait... How did u get her facebook account" John asked, because there is no social media state there on their 1st victim bio.

"Dude there is such a thing call government database" Eric said. Giving him a ridiculous look.

"That's not how I found out about her account actually" the guy said. Correcting Eric on his words.

"Ok. Fine, let me explain.... I was just scrolling through Facebook a little while ago using my personal account when suddenly this missing person posted up there. Then I went to search for her name and thank goodness, Her account name is labeled the same as her own name. Sally O'Dillar" The guy explained to them.

"Wait a sec.... So nobody knows that she is dead?" Susan asks.

"Good question. Take some time and scroll through it" he said. As he gets up and leaves them to it.
