Two days later.Thomas walked into Ron and the team's office."Mr. Ron, regarding Dr. Katrin Danes, the court has agreed to transfer the case to the prosecutor's office for further investigation. Why are you still holding her here?" Ron, sitting behind his desk, looked up. He had just been busy with a pile of administrative work that had accumulated on his desk."Sam said there's still more to investigate, we've asked for an extension until next week, she'll be safe in her cell, you don't need to worry." Thomas took a deep breath. "It's not that, the prosecution might find more clues about the case. This situation has already gone public, so we need to start thinking about how to avoid it if we can. If the Prime Minister hears about Dakota's involvement in all this, everything will get even messier." Ron placed his pen on top of his stack of papers. "I think he might already know by now." Thomas turned to look at Ron with wide eyes. "What do you mean? How could he know? Di

"Clang"The friction between the iron door and the floor sounded loud and painful to the ears.Dakota being conscious, but it is still hard to get himself fully awake. Footsteps approached, and he counted how many people were coming—one, two, three, five people, each with different weights to their steps. Soon, he heard a sneer. “Look, our handsome professor seems to be awake.” They cover their voices to be unrecognizable with somekind of masks.This was followed by the laughter of several others, their voices masked, probably to keep their identities hidden. But for Dakota, who had a photographic memory, that might not be a big deal; he didn’t just remember the voices, but also the character, the rhythm of their footsteps and the way they spoke. He think he might recognize those people, who now seemed to be laughing at him. “Hahahaha.” ***“Smack!” A hard slap was unavoidable. Kimberly, with all her strength, brought her palm down on Elena’s cheek. Again, she might have pulle

Sam drove as fast as he could, connecting with Rina on the phone. "Have you guys made it there yet?" he asked. Rina and some police have been monitoring the movement near the pier on the other side, a few meters along the harbor where the culprit ran and threw the body.A few men stood on a boat still parked at the dock, two of them dressed in full clothing and masks that concealed their faces. Rina jumps out of the car even when the wheel hasn't fully stopped yet, on standby with her gun. The girl was ready with her weapon, signaling to several nearby officers to spread out in all directions. Rina with her small and light feet got close and stopped behind the other caravan nearby, getting close enough to fire. "Freeze! Stop right there!" As soon as Rina's voice echoed, the men seemed startled; one man immediately ran away, leaving the other standing in place, raising both hands in the air. "Stop him!" The fleeing man headed towards the parked boat, quickly jumping onto anoth

Four students, proven to be the web killers, were arrested: Daniel, Laura, Emmet, and Dina. They were caught on campus just before Dakota's class started, and to lure them out, Dakota had to go out and become bait.It was as if nothing had happened, and the kids thought it was all over after the headquarters announced they were closing the case, and they appeared with a lot of confidence. Dakota stood in his place. Sam stood next to him, watching Rina and her team escort the web killer suspects into the holding cell. It wasn’t a pleasant situation; these kids came from prominent families, government officials, famous people, and even former national athletes. The four young men stared straight at Dakota as they walked toward the cell. This case going to be so big.Laura and Dina looked like they had just been crying, their eyes and noses red, both lowering their faces when they caught Dakota’s gaze. Sam stood next to him watching Rina and her team members herd the web killers into a

Bayward Police headquarters.The leaves of the tree outside the window were pushed by the wind, tapping against the glass repeatedly. Sam’s gaze was far ahead, staring into the distance, even though Rina’s voice dominated his office as she presented her findings.Drrrrtttt.Sam’s phone on the table vibrated, and he quickly picked it up. Call from Kim."Hello, Kim, uh..." Sam raised his hand to glance at his watch."I might be able to get there by two in the afternoon. Do you have something going on? How’s Dax?" Sam took a deep breath, and stopped listening to Kim's feedback."He might just be exhausted. You can go; I’ll be there in an hour. We can’t take any risks, even though there’s someone watching over Dax in his room. He could still be in danger."Sam remembered that while Dakota was in the hospital last night, someone had broken into his apartment, rummaging through everything as if searching for something, even though security was tight. Luckily, Dax wasn’t there.Not long after
