Steam from the still-hot tea could be seen billowing in the air as August lifted his teacup. He sat on the terrace on the second floor at the back of the big house, enjoying the warm evening air with Sam sitting not far in front of him. The view of the sky above the house is wide and limitless, several small stars are twinkling in the distance.August took a deep breath.“Heh, after the flash disk disappeared, those people shouldn't be bothering Dakota's life anymore, right? What does that mean, now the kid can go anywhere safely. Since anyone who intends to attack him thinks Dakota doesn't have what they want, isn't it, Sam?” asked August.Sam nodded, holding the teacup in both hands, then slowly placed it back on the saucer."I guess so too, but, we don't know that for now, everyone should remain vigilant until we make sure that they no longer chase Dakota. You, have nothing to do with the flash disk's disappearance right?" asked Sam.August who was about to reach for his teacup stop

The three seemed not interested and decided to leave, but the young man at the front gate the ball from his smallest friend and threw it far into the fence."Oooh! What are you doing?" cried the other three kids. The kid in the front shrugged his shoulders. Although he's smiling mischievously. "Ops, I just wanted to hold it. How about this, guys, the ball rolls deep inside"The cute girl pushed her naughty friend's shoulder."You threw it on purpose, didn't you?""No, I'm not! Who said that? I just wanted to take it for fun, but who would have guessed that my hand was too excited.”The three friends looked at their friend with sharp eyes.

CRIME BOOK 101 Dinner
The forensic room and its surroundings gave off a very strong odour.Everyone covered their noses tightly as they passed the room where the corpse in the bag had just been pushed inside this afternoon. Even left liquid on the floor from the parking area at the back near the autopsy room to the forensic department room located on the ground floor."Wuuh, the smell will remain after a couple of days, it stings!" said a uniformed police officer and his colleague who passed in front of the forensic room carrying documents. His partner nodded."I think so, let's just stay away," said the officer, glancing at Linda and other forensic members who were standing in front of the room as if teasing them."Hey you guys, watch your mouth, I'll let you taste it tomorrow, moron," said Linda.The two young policemen laughed."Hahaha Linda is angry, looks like you have to change your perfume, Lin, this one smells really bad""Yeah, buy the new one!" added the other officer.Linda almost took off her sh
CRIME BOOK 101 The Sticky Bag
The next day in the autopsy room. Sam stood outside the room watching from outside the glass room where Emma and her team members separated the bodies from the sticky bags. Emma and another male forensic officer were wearing tight hazmat suits complete with gloves and face coverings. The corpse had decomposed and was emitting bodily fluids that could have contained harmful gases, so the team needed to be careful when removing it.Aris entered and approached Sam.“Boss, according to the witness who was the security at the hospital complex, who occasionally came, the fence had been damaged before and it was possible that people could enter and out easily. The CCTV on the road leading to the hospital complex has also been out of service for the past few months, they have already assigned people to fix it, but road workers are still taking time to fix it because that road is rarely passed by people.”Sam pursed his lips."Still, every CCTV is made to monitor the surroundings, precisely bec

After looking to the right and left of the two of them and then crossing the road to the meatball shop with folding doors which had been damaged due to recent stone-throwing and beatings from the masses.

Dakota was just about to continue when his phone vibrated. Incoming call from Sam."Yeah Sam, um, I'm at the cafe in front of the campus, yeah that one, where are you now?" he asked while looking around, found Sam's car across the street, Dakota waved his hand. Then he turned off the phone and put it back on the table.Dean Arnold grabbed his bag from another chair beside him and shifted his chair to stand up."Heh, then I’m afraid I have to go now, Dakota, unfortunately, my heart condition doesn't allow me to linger outside the house, this old body also needs enough rest"Dakota nodded, he saw Dean Arnold who was standing in front of him."Yes Dean, I see your face is a bit yellow, maybe it's time to rest"Hearing that Dean Arnold looked a little surprised, he touched his face."Oh really? Is it a bit yellow? Hehe, maybe because of the sun this afternoon, it's still quite hot now.”Dakota nodded again.“Yeah, it could be because of that. That's not a bad thing, is it? You look so fre

He is the owner of the video content, who’s been arrested at his campus after an attempt to flee. Hence Aris and Beni have to chase him full of effort. The young man looked at Aris with his sharp eyes.“How dare you! I can sue you for hitting me! This is his name suppression!” cried the young man.Aris smirked, he saw the thin young man with a face full of acne scars for a long time until he turned and sat back in his chair next to Beni.“Oh, then, do you want to make another video? Please, come whenever you want and break my door, but, heh, it's pointless to arrest you on charges of burglary, because, all of that is nothing compared to murder, right?”Aris calmly sat back in his chair. The young man looked at Aris with a pair of big eyes, he turned pale.“M-murder, you guys, couldn't possibly accuse me of killing her righ
CRIME BOOK 101 Blacked Out

The man, was none other than the neighborhood chief, a man in his fifties with an unpretentious and friendly face, not looking like a bully, so why was Dom so afraid of him?

Sleeping Like A Baby
The young man’s face… it was like the face of the stabber at the mall yesterday. He was clearly a special needs child, possibly one of the children from those secret laboratory experiments.Dakota looked at the three campus security guards standing watch, batons in hand. A few more guards were just appearing behind them. Luke moves in front Dakota to keep him from harm.“Hey kid, calm down. Do you know what you’ve done? You just killed someone. You’re smart, you don’t want to die stupidly or go to jail, right?” Luke asked, though he knew it was too late to talk him down, he still had to try.The young man grinned, raising a long, kitchen-knife-like blade that gleamed sharply. He wiped the remaining blood on the blade with his tongue, licking it clean. Luke fought back a wave of nausea.“Oh.”“They study air theory, let them feel what it’s like to fly through the air.

Bad Feeling
Emma sat back down, and it was now Rina's case. Sam looked serious until his phone in his pocket vibrated. A call from someone he wasn't expecting, just as he thought. Jack Moris from the federal agency."Yeah," Sam said, getting up from his seat. He glanced at Ron across from him, then got up to answer the phone.“You’re incredible! We haven’t even released any reports to headquarters, how did you know about this? Did you plant spies in our office?” Sam asked. Jack Moris’s voice boomed in his ear; Sam had to pull the phone away, his ear aching from the man’s thunderous tone.“Ouch, that’s loud,” he muttered, pressing the phone back to his ear.“This might not even be the same case. Why don’t you let us handle this first? You won’t be late getting information, trust me. It could just be a random attack, like what usually happens. Anyone can go crazy, right? Are you sure this is

A Killing Machine?
It was getting late, midnight, and Sam had just finished cleaning up. He came out of the bathroom, toweling his hair with a small towel, his upper body bare except for a towel around his waist. He approached the bed where Dakota was already sitting, opening his laptop."Wow, it's midnight, my dear professor. Time for bed, why are you still working?" Sam said, stopping beside Dakota.Dakota looked up, seeing Sam's slightly wet, bare upper body displaying his muscular chest. Sam seemed quite proud of showing it off.Dakota just pursed his lips, ignoring Sam and continuing to look at his laptop screen. Sam smirked; he'd intentionally teased Dakota, but the young man was completely unaffected. He'd hoped for some kind of reaction.Sam sat down next to Dakota. But before he could sit on the soft bed, Dakota moved the pillow from his left side onto the bed, preventing Sam from sitting down."You can get a blanket from the closet. The couchis very s

More Than A Family
Dakota looked at the takeout container Luke had placed on the table. He watched him slowly sit down."Aren't you with guests? Why aren't you eating with them?" Dakota asked. Luke waved his hand dismissively."Let my secretary keep them company, I said I had important business. Look at this, supposedly amazing steak, almost perfect reviews. Next time we have time, we'll eat at the restaurant, they say it's much better there."said the man excitingly.Dakota looked at the logo on the box."I tried it last week with Sam."said Dakota.Luke's hand movement stopped; he looked disappointed."Oh, really? Was it good? How’sthe rate?" Luke asked."Yeah, pretty good," Dakota replied casually.Luke placed the plate in front of Dakota and carefully took out the neatly arranged steak from the box. Even though it was in a delivery container, the restaurant paid attention to quality, keeping it aesthetically pleasing wit

What's The Connection ?
Rina approached their office just as Sam came back in after dealing with the attackers. She looked annoyed.“Boss,”Sam turned. He was applying a compress to his jaw, which was swollen and slightly red from the hard hit.“What about the woman? Did she confess?” Sam asked.Rina and her boss went into their office. It was dark outside, and the air was getting cold. Everyone was exhausted.“She’s very good at making excuses, Boss. According to her secretary, there was information about a room that couldn’t be used; she told Amelia because she was in charge of the seminar. After that, she got word to move everyone to the auditorium at the last minute. All the information fits Amelia Roy’s alibi,” Rina replied.Sam sat down, wincing slightly from his bleeding lip, a souvenir from the thug’s punch.“She must have planned everything meticulously.

A Brawl Broke Up
The wail of sirens echoed in the distance. Fire trucks had arrived and were tackling the blaze that erupted from an explosion of some electronic equipment in the now-destroyed auditorium building. Several ambulances pulled up, administering first aid to the victims, including Dakota, Luke Osborn, and Sam, who sat on the side of an ambulance, their faces and bodies covered in dust."Here, let me brush off your clothes," Sam said, brushing thick dust from Dakota's sleeve. They both looked like they'd just cleaned out an abandoned warehouse.Dakota had some scrapes on his forehead, and his clothes were torn; besides the aches and pains from the impact of the debris, they seemed alright. Medics bandaged a gash on Dakota's arm and Luke Osborn's forehead scrapes."Why did they target this building? Man, this was built less than two years ago. If they wanted to blow something up, they should've gone for that old building behind the lab," Luke said, propping his chin in his hands.Sam sat b

Not In A Good Place and Time
"Having no one to eat with is kind of weird, right? Is Mr. Meyers still reaching out to you?" Luke asked as he opened his takeout bag and pulled out his food, setting it in front of him. Dakota closed his laptop, watching Luke unpack his meal from the carton and arrange it neatly. The guy even opened the chopstick wrapper to hand it to Dakota."Why would he reach out to me? We're not that close," said Dakota.Luke raised his eyebrows at Dakota's response. "Oh, really? I thought you two were close. He often invites you to lunch and waits for your class to finish. If that's not close, then what is?"Dakota opened his lunch box. For some reason, he felt like trying the wet noodles Rina had recommended a while back; they looked pretty good."We have lunch together too,

No Time for Fever
The sun shone brightly, breaking through the curtains and hitting the long sofa in Dakota’s room. Sam lay face down there all night, still in the clothes he wore yesterday.“Ouch, my body,” he turned over, feeling sore after sleeping on that couch all night.Even though it was the softest, highest-quality sofa money could buy, it would still be more comfortable to sleep in a bed. He remembered that last night because he was so tired, he fell asleep on Dakota’s very tempting bed, so why did he end up there?“Boss, let’s go out!” Edi’s voice still echoed in his head. His forehead was hot, and he was sweating even though the room was cold. He pulled himself up and sat, glancing at Dakota’s neatly made bed. It was nearing noon, eight in the morning when h
