It was closed after allegations that gunpowder material from the factory was found in the house of the dead official. Five factory guards were arrested and some were died in prison. The rest fled and have not been found until now. According to local police reports, they were the perpetrators of the explosion, or suppliers, because the gunpowder from the factory has a special characteristic that is not found anywhere else, when an explosion occurs it will leave a white to bluish residue."
Sam pursed his mouth looking at several photos that Aris had collected.
“Gunpowder is always have the same characteristic, such a common detail cannot determine if it came from the same item, who makes such reports?” Sam asked.

Klek. The door being open and close again. Dakota, who was reading a thick book while propped up on his bed, turned to see Sam slowly entering with all the fuss, carrying a lot of things in both hands. Kim stood up from her seat in the living room, helping Sam put some things that might have been left by Dakota's co-workers on the table and sofa. “All this from office?” Kim asked. Sam nodded. "Yeah, it's really troublesome, everyone wants to give me this and that, they didn't do that when I was hurt, what’s team is that, who is their boss actually?" Sam grumbled as he approached the bed, looks like Dakota was better because he saw him with sharp eyes. “Hey Dax, are you feeling better? Can you read a book now?” Sam glanced at the book Dakota was holding, it was just an ordinary dictation book, the title alone could give him a headache, let alone reading it. Dakota put the book next to the bed. “Well, my head hurts since I woke up, reading can make me feel better”. Sam pursed his

"Punish them, throw them into the prison! Don't let your guard down!" shouted the head of the demonstration, a middle-aged man holding a loudspeaker. The crowd behind him responded loudly.“Escort it to the end, punish the perpetrator, give justice to the family! Fulfill our demands!”Dakota lowered his shoulders to the pillow. He didn't know what to think now. Happy because it's all over, or is it all just beginning?Kim sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Dakota's face for a moment, seeing how her brother reacted. She didn't expect that Dakota would be very calm after finding out what happened, but this was very good. This means that her worries during the trip if Dakota was affected enough by this, turned out not to be the case. He didn't even know what happened, even though he did, he was very even, like he always was.“What are you thinking?” asked Kim.Dakota looked at his sister for a moment, then opened a thick book that he had read halfway through. He spent a lot of time th

“Oh, that president's case? What do I have to do with that? That is his problem, and also that of several ministers in his parliament. I was summoned to the state investigator's office yesterday, to be a witness. But, I don't have anything to do with that case at all, except for your mother used to work there." said the man.August held his breath after talking like that. He looked at Dakota for a moment, then lowered his head. Slowly the man sat on the sofa beside the bed."Um, Roger said something was missing from under the stone table in the back garden of our old house. Is that something you've been saving all this time? Do those people take it and use it to prove the deviation that those people did before? Do you know what it was before?” August asked. He asked at once because he knew his son didn't like to answer with just one word. It will say it all at once, or not at all.Dakota, who was seriously reading his book on his lap, lowered the thick book a little. Looking at his fat

Sam stretched out his hand to take the piece of meat near the Prime Minister's plate.“Pardon me, to interrupt about this matter, Mr. Prime Minister, but in my opionion, as part of my experience, for now, Dakota is better off being around someone who can make him think better. Keeping him busy by working at the police and being a lecturer can reduce his excessive thoughts about what ever that happened to him. After all, the safest place is a place where you can keep a clearer eye on everything, including your enemies, don't you think? Dakota is not a kid anymore, he is more mature than you think. I understand, some children at this age are still dependent on their parents, looking for protection in you and his older sibling, but don't forget, Dakota is not just anyone in general. I think you already knew that a long time ago, if forcing your will on Dakota is the same as tapping the empty wind, your efforts will be in vain," said Sam, looking at August and smiling afterward.

Dakota was silent, looking at Sam for a moment until he turned his body towards Sam.“Mom, do experiments on herself. She was looking for drug to cure my brain disorder. She did, and it got her killed. All, because of me"Sam stopped his hand movement. Listening to Dakota's unenthusiastic speech. He looked away and didn't let Sam see how shocked he was by the statement. Sam patted Dakota's hand."Then you think it's your fault?" Sam will tell it as it is, because that's not what Dakota wants, at all. Dakota saw it. Long enough to know that Sam meant what he said."Isn't this my fault?" he asked back.Sam tugged at the corners of his lips, looking at Dakota for a long moment. A pair of blue eyes looked at Dakota's light gray-green eyes, like an ocean that could drown anyone who looked at it."You think? What can a little child do? A kid who is very dependent on his mother? There is no one in this world who can calm you down when you are panic, other than your mother. You depend on her e

“Are your hands still cold? Please forgive me, I couldn't do much to help you at that time. I'm so useless. I can't fulfill my promise to always protect you, you must have forgotten all that, but when we were little, I swore I would protect you forever. But, I couldn't fulfill my promise. Forgive me, would you?"Aaron's voice echoed in his ears. Dakota turned around and found no one beside him. He had a dream, in the middle of the day, when he wasn't asleep. What, is that part of his memory? But no, Aaron never visited him in the hospital in all this time. Although never in that situation.Dakota grabbed his phone and called someone who he thought could give him an answer at that moment."Yes, Young Master" the deep voice on the other side of the phone, Roger."Roger, can you give me data about Aaron's biological father, Robert Eralda?"For a while, it seemed like Roger was trying to make sure that what he was hearing was true until he answered."Of course, Young Master, just a sec, I'

But Dakota wasn't affected at all, even though Luke was teasing him."I just think, he had unfinished work here, it's very strange that he just disappeared like that," Dakota replied.Luke smiled. He nodded."Of course. But, I hear Mr. Meyers has a track record of moving from place to place and many people want him, he might be considering looking for a new job. I'll ask the campus secretary about how to handle a unilateral breach of contract, it's a real shame," Luke said.Dakota seemed to resume his meal, until her phone vibrated again, a notification from a group message. He picked up his phone and read it. He hadn't even finished reading it when he got a call from Sam.Zrrttt.
Besieged
Aris threw his hands up in the air.“Damn those kids, how old are they? Still bullying people like they’re still in high school,” he exclaimed angrily. He pushed the chair back with his body and stood up, leaving the room. Beni pursed his lips; his partner was really hot-headed. He then stood up and followed Aris out of the room. Before leaving, Beni took the time to tidy up the chair and put it back in its place before casually walking out of the room.***Heavy rain poured outside the wide hospital window. While waiting for the doctor to allow them to go home, Dakota and Sam sat on the sofa looking at some notes Andi had left on a flash drive—videos of himself. Meanwhile, Dakota read some diary entries the team found in Andi’s apartment. Sam watched several videos from A
Belinda's Journal
Yesterday morning, after spending the night in the detention cell, the officers found him dead, covered in blood, with a gaping wound in his chest. The boy had even pulled out his own heart and held it, perhaps watching his own heart stop beating until he died. A truly horrifying death for everyone who saw it.It was determined he inflicted the wound himself, using a spoon he’d taken from the officers’ dinner plates when they’d brought him in. His body was stiff when they found him; the night officer thought he was asleep because there was no sound from inside the room; he’d pulled the blanket tight around himself. There was so much blood it looked like a horrifying red pool in the room. Before he died, the young man had written some words on the wall. Sam really didn’t want to show it to Dakota, but how could he hide it?“They will come for you, Professor.”Those words—how likely was it that they weren’t meant for Dakota?Dakota saw the plastic bag Sam had brought from the office, so
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.

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

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.
