…… 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
…..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
Talking about other cases, he even always checks the group chat to see if there has been any progress or not but looks like there hasn't been any. They are too busy and tired, by now the office must have been visited by the families of the victims who came to report after they said that the killer of their kids had been arrested.The nurse came in and helped Sam to remove the IV needle, he could go for outpatient treatment after this."Thank you, Miss" and don't forget, handsome Sam smiled at the pretty nurse who had been taking care of him since morning, he will miss her.Sam got up, threw back the blanket, and put his legs off the bed.Sam looked at his cell phone, it's been hushed since earlier, what is Dakota doing now? Is he going back to campus? Sam thought looking for Dakota's number and calling him.Several rings with no answer, is he that busy so he doesn't have time to answer the phone? How about just leaving a message, no, that will be useless, with Dakota's nature he'll pr
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. Not to mention new cases that have yet to be resolved.Dakota had just gotten out of his vehicle with Edi accompanying him towards the main building right in front of them. 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
