Ghosts Busters / M & M

This afternoon an officemate lost her cellular phone. She had left the phone unattended for a few minutes at her desk; when she came back, it was gone. We’ve had similar incidents in the past of cellphones being stolen, so we immediately suspected theft. And given the location of the victim’s desk, it was most likely that the klepto was one of us. Unfortunately, no one saw who did it. The only way to bust this klepto is to ask for help from our resident ghosts.

So we turned to Lotta, our officemate with the third eye, and asked her to find out from her “friends” what exactly happened to the phone. True enough, one of Lotta’s “friends” not only confirmed that the phone was stolen but also named the person responsible.

Now Lotta is in a difficult position: on the one hand, she refuses to divulge the identity of the klepto, for how can you make a case against someone when your only witness is a spirit? But on the other hand, how can Lotta remain silent and possibly allow the klepto to strike again? To make matters worse, Lotta told us that the klepto knows that she can identify the thief.

We’ve been trying to get Lotta to reveal to us the identity of the klepto but she adamantly refuses. We’re almost sure we’ll never see that phone again, but maybe we can get Lotta to change her mind yet.

On a lighter, sillier note: Melanie Marquez strikes again! In an interview with Ces Drilon in tonight’s episode of Pipol, she was defending her loss in the recently-concluded Mrs. International beauty pageant: “I didn’t promise that I’ll bring back the bacon!”

Much later, on living a happy life: “Just follow the Ten Commandment.”

Iba talaga si M&M!
