He looked at the screen as he just finished with the zoom meeting aggressively ruffling his hair as he typed in his email

Annoyed, Cato dropped his headset on his desk while looking at his computer screen, taking a deep breath and calming himself.

Calm down, Cato. They won't know it's you. Relax. . .

Cato closed his eyes. But instead of calming down, he came up with an idea.

He takes his folder of his former clients, looking at the names

"Who among these fuckers dared to report ?! I know someone complained because I've been doing this for a year and I know I'm doing it cleanly and without a trace. I'm sure that there's someone, and I'm gonna find you." Cato muttered to himself

Annoyed, Cato typed on his laptop/computer and look at his clients this week.

"Whoever you are, I'll make sure you can't run away from me."

"Yes, who could have reported that? Let's find it fast!" Suddenly someone answered him. We cannot see it, only its voice can be heard.

Cato rolled back in his seat and look behind him. Nobody here.

A wind passed him and all his papers scattered around the floor as he looked around again.

"Hello, Cato! Good morning, I wanted to talk to you last night but you fell asleep. Can I talk to you now?" A voice said interrupting his chain of thoughts

Cato ignored the voice that is heard and tried to focus on his laptop as he massaged his temple.

"Hey, pay attention to me. I know you can hear me, don't get mad there."

Cato stopped typing and close it tightly and cover his ear.

"Hey, are you okay? Eh, it' best for you to talk to me so you don't have a hard time there." A voice said again as he flinched

Cato shook his head and tried to ignore the voice he hears.

'You're just tired Cato, you're just tired. You hear nothing. Nothing, nothing, nothing."He muttered to himself as he inhaled and exhaled

The papers flew to Cato's face and he got pushed back into his seat with his chair.

"I know you can hear me. Talk to me. go ahead please, I need your help!" A voice again can be heard and this time, Cato Answered...

"I won't," He said as he thought that it will make the voice go away

"Oh, you answered! So can you really hear me?"

"No" Cato answered quickly as he covered his ears again

"Oh really? but you answered that. All right, help me and I'll help you too. We will work together." the voice of the girl said as Cato quickly shook his head wanting the voice to go away

"I don't need your help!" He shouted as the girl laughed

"You need. I know and I feel it. If you won't help me, I'll tell all your deeds to your principal"

Cato stopped and wandered his eyes inside his room.

"I know you, Cato. And I know all your workings. From hacking your school's sites, as well as students' social media, to your scams, blackmail, vandalism, and intrusion into the personal lives of Hiraya Academy members. I know everything. And with just a whisper to your principal. . .

bye-bye to your title"

and with that Cato went to his aunt's room, getting a rosary and a bible in his hands

as he got a hold of it, he raised it and started saying a prayer, just like those priest in charge of possessions, He yelled prayers, eyes closed shut as he chants

"In God's name, Go away evil spirit! Go back to hell!" he shouted again, and as it quietened, he sighed, only hearing the sounds of his breath and the giggles near him

...wait...

...giggles...

He looks around again, face now showing fear

"Cato... I'm not an evil soul... I'm just here to help you, you called for my help remembe-" he didn't get to hear the next as he ran downstairs, scared enough to not notice the books on the last steps, and as he ran, his feet went in contacts with the book, his head hitting the nearby pole into the staircase, and as he fell down, his vision blurred, black spots cascading his eyes as his eyes closed, just seeing a faint sight of a girl looking at him
