CRIME BOOK 101 As It
…… In the city center.The sound of music from the piano keys in the middle of a five-star restaurant fills the tranquility of the sound. The sound of soft music with a melodious tone goes along with the calm and elegant atmosphere of the restaurant which can only be visited with advance reservations. A tall, big man with almost white hair stopped in front of the receptionist who immediately escorted him to the previously booked place inside.The man was ushered into the room and walked in until he approached the window where someone was waiting for him."Uh, pardon me, for being late, the traffic is so crowded and busy," said the man, the waiter pulled out a chair for him to sit on. In front of a medium-sized round table, someone was waiting while enjoying a selection of wine to fill the time gap. It was none other than Dakota who was sitting accompanied by two bodyguards who were standing not far behind him. Everyone in the room definitely knew that these two people were his persona
CRIME BOOK 101 How'd You Know ?
…..Interrogation room. A petite young girl, Anita Hans, has been sitting in interrogation room one since she received a summons from the police. The young girl, who had returned to her usual activities, kept her head down while inside. Both Aris and Sam have not entered the room waiting for the right time. For witnesses like Anita Hans, who has sat inside several times, either as a witness or as a victim, this may have become a habit. Or not? Sam thought wanting to see her reaction. Apart from that, he was also still waiting for the photos from Lucy's cell phone which showed Anita being dragged into Peter's car. From her position, it looked like Lucy had taken the photo from across campus.Sam turned around when he heard the sound of the door opening from outside."Why took it so long?" but it wasn't Aris himself who entered, there was someone else with him.“Dax, what are you doing here?” Sam asked seeing Dakota following Aris into the monitoring room. Two of Dakota's bodyguards were

Sam widened his eyes, stared at Dakota with big eyes so angry with him."Are you crazy? What if that man runs away? What day is it now?" Sam hurriedly grabbed his phone, trying to contact Aris who was outside the office.Dakota calmly turned on his laptop."He won't run away, Sam, he's too self-confident to do that, I'm just baiting him so he lose his guard and shows his real face, just wait for the right time"Aris answered Sam's phone."Aris, where are you guys? Hurry go to Andrian Carls’s residence and see if he is still in there"Looks like Aris was protesting on the phone. Sam widened his eyes."Just do it, you guys ask a lot of questions, keep an eye on the house and see whether he is still there or not, don't ask too many questions.""Tell Aris, let the man see them," said Dakota.Sam turned, looking at Dakota sharply."What does it mean to let him see Aris, that's not stalking"Aris on the other end of the phone asked."What boss?"Sam pulled his lips, don't know what Dakota wa

Dakota just looked at the man with his usual calm face.“Have you thought about the consequences of doing all this? Kidnapping a police officer is no small matter, let alone killing him," said Dakota.Andrian Carls smiled, straightening his body to look at Sam who was almost drowning, his head remaining tilted to stay on the surface."Andrian Carls, damn you, I will kill you if you lay your hand on Dakota, I will chop you to pieces!" Sam shouted, he struggled to stay up but as time went on the water got higher and higher until it reached below his neck, and the water came so fast, he could die if he didn't get out of there immediately."Shit!"Dakota saw Sam struggling, who knows what he should think at such a critical time, but what was clear was that Sam really needed his help. At least humans can only hold their breath for less than ninety seconds. Sam doesn't smoke, but no matter how healthy he is he won't be able to last longer than that. He had to think extra.“You don't think yo

"Don't overdo it Sam, you have to go to the hospital to check you in, the water in the bathtub could contain bacteria and fungus, you have to clean it from the inside."While uniformed cops come in to check the scene where Sam and Dakota almost lost their lives, Sam props Dakota past them."Yeah, I know, there was a professor who reminded me, of course I won't forget it. Oh look at the blood, there's a lot of it, come here, let me bandage it first."Sam stopped once they reached the ground floor, the old house was big enough that it took a while to get out. Don't know how Andrian Carls was able to get them there by himself, he is truly extraordinary.Sam didn't stop smiling, takes Dakota's tie to wrap the wound to stop the blood. He won't forget how Dakota was so worried about his condition, Dakota, who he knew have no emphaty, could feel worry about him.Dakota noticed Sam's ridiculous face."Why do you keep smiling, Did your brain damage from drowning earlier?" Dakota asked.Sam pur

CRIME BOOK 101 Anything Weird
The next day.Dakota went back to his routine as a lecturer at CW, while Sam went straight to the office because he had so many files to complete.

However, their case is still far from over, and the perpetrator of the kidnapping who collaborated with Andrian Carls has not yet been found. All still need to vigilante at this situation. Dakota was just about to head down the path to the building when her cell phone vibrated, an incoming call from Kim.“Yeah”Dakota nodded at several students who greeted him, then continued walking with his cell phone on."This afternoon I want to go to the police station, Sam needs all the help available, there are several new cases.""Don't act busy with me, we don't see each other often. Em, how about tonight, I've only had five days off from Boa, join me for dinner, I'll send you t

Nutt.The door opened from outside. The automatic lights in the front area were on as he stepped in. Dakota almost jumped in surprise when he saw something moving on the couch in the dim living room.“Oh”Who else but Sam who with his pillow face sat almost asleep on the couch. He yawned profusely when he saw Dakota there, at first glance he looked like a ghost, with dim lights, messy hair, and a large white blanket that seemed to sparkle from the outside lights."Eh, you’re home, I was waiting for you and fell asleep"His hand was still holding a jar of expired fried peanuts which no longer tasted crunchy. Then straightened his seat and put the jar on the table, smoothing his hair up.Dakota approached, looking at Sam with an annoyed face. The clock on the wall showed past eleven o'clock at night."What are you doing sitting in the dark like that?” Dakota asked.Sam saw Dakota's hand placing a paper bag with a round red logo that he had seen for the first time, his eyes shone brigh

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

What's Your Desire ?
Morning comes. The sun shone brightly until it hit the highest part of the Bayward One tower and reflected all around it. The busyness of the metropolitan city has been visible since the sun was bright. Far below, the city's main roads are starting to fill with vehicles of all sizes sharing the pollution.Sam had just put on his leather jacket, today was going to be a busy one. He had to go early in the morning to the office for the weekly routine meeting and to analyze the various cases that were piling up.The bombing case at the center has not yet been resolved and several other cases have emerged.

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
