CRIME BOOK 101 Escaped Inmates
Twenty hours earlier. The alarm echoed loudly in the first-class prison complex on the outskirts of Bayward. Bright red sirens flashed in all corners. Guards hurried back and forth, searching for several inmates who had managed to escape into the two fenced areas before exiting the high-security building. "God damn it! Do you want to run away?" Without mercy, the big guards threw their batons and beat several prisoners who were still trying to escape. Some were caught before arriving at gate one, some even managed to get out of the gate and had to be paralyzed with rubber bullets. ”Ah! It’s hurt!" The big guards with muscles sticking out of their tight clothes were merciless. Even though some of the prisoners looked fiercer than them, they didn't give a single prisoner a chance to escape from their watch. "God damn it! You try to run! Take this!" Hard and flexible batons smashed the thick bodies mercilessly, groans of pain and exaggerated screams could be heard in the corners of t
CRIME BOOK 101 Hostaged
"No! Take me, I'm a doctor, I can treat you, let him go, what do you want from him?” Troy exclaimed seeing the man's leg which was wrapped in bandages and still bleeding, he might have pushed himself too hard.The man pointed the knife at Dakota's neck and scratched it until it bled.”Stop where you are, I don't need you!”Don't know what the man wanted from him, Dakota felt very helpless, maybe because of the painkiller's effects plus his unwell condition, he could only surrender at that moment. He looked at Troy as if to say that it was better for Troy not to interfere. The man almost pulled Dakota into the back of the ambulance but Troy still didn't let go. He tried to keep going."No, don't take him, just take me, look, I'm a doctor, I can treat you."The man didn't seem to need Troy, he remained adamant in his place until he heard the voice of his partner sitting behind the wheel.“Damn it, what are you waiting for, get in quickly, people are coming here!” the man exclaimed.

CRIME BOOK 101 Deep To The Forest
The rain fell hard. The large and sturdy black jeep’s wheels broke through puddle form from the rainwater. The bright sky suddenly turned dark when Sam pulled his vehicle onto the toll road out of town. He followed the last trace of the gps from the ambulance visible on the radar.“Erw, talk to me!” Sam exclaimed on the phone line with Erw."Boss, I managed to see a little of the ambulance driver's eyes from the footage, there is a possibility that he is one of the two convicts who escaped from the level one prison outside the city of Bayward. There was warning data from the Department of Law that there had been an attempt to break out of the prison last night. After investigating for several hours later it was discovered that three prisoners had managed to get out of prison. They chased him into the forest area, one was caught but two ran away. The prison has distributed the photo to all local police, two prisoners managed to escape, both of them are convicts of heinous murder with s
CRIME BOOK 101 The Monsters
Meanwhile, in Erw's room, Ron was standing behind Erw monitoring the road where the ambulance was last seen. The car vanished as soon as it leaving the city border.“Boss, the car enters the highway leaves the town, heads to the forest and the Cyan border. There was no trace of them coming out on the other side. The closest monitoring cameras to Cyan city also did not catch their sighting.” said Erw on the phone with Sam. Sam has arrived at the last location where the ambulance's GPS signal was.The sun shining so bright after the rain stopped. The remaining water that flooded the road made the sun glare so that Sam had to wear sunglasses. Apart from the long toll road, the left and right sides are empty areas, and not far ahead is the protected forest of the city of Bayward. They could go anywhere at this time. The forest was the area that separated Bayward from the mountains around Cyan and other cities. With such a large forest area, at this time, they must still be in the forest.“
CRIME BOOK 101 Beat To Death
Sam, Rina, and Luk ran towards the thick trees, deeper into the forest.From the dark of night, armed with flashlights, Sam and the others finally found an ambulance covered in leaves that was difficult for the drone to track beforehand. He waved his hand to Rina and Luk to get ready and spread out from the other side. While settling down, Sam approached a small building that was almost covered by leaves and trees growing around it. It's not strange that Erw's drone hasn't found anything since earlier.The sound came again, this time quite loud. Sam widened his eyes, did they do something to Dakota? Without thinking, he ran towards the house. There was light in the room, Sam prepared to raise his weapon to stop anyone who was caught standing in the middle of the room.“Stop in place!” he shouted aiming his gun.The body fell heavily onto the dusty floor, blood all over its face. Sam widened his eyes, it wasn't Dakota or Doctor Amber, but, someone with his back to him, it looked like Da

Bayward International Airport. This vast airport is one of the most luxurious and sophisticated in the country. Non-stop flights on international and domestic routes fill the large screens in every corner. Aris and Beni parked their vehicle in front of the entrance and hurried inside the airport. Beni tossed his car keys to the officer standing at the large door and rushed past him.“Here, please take care of this,” he said.The officer looked momentarily confused, but Aris and Beni didn’t give him a chance to refuse. Soon, two police vehicles also pulled up behind Aris's car. Aris glanced at the young uniformed officer accompanying them. Moments later, several airport security personnel approached. Before that, Erw had already contacted the security staff and shared a photo of Susan Reis, who was now known to be in the waiting area at gate 19, waiting for her flight to take off.The waiting area was visible from the outside, and vice versa, so Aris and the team had to hurry to appreh
CRIME BOOK 101 The Man
Dakota just stared straight ahead, not responding to Sam right away. Sam pressed the gas and continued driving.“Dax, you know, right now, you can’t hide your problems from me forever. Sooner or later, everything will come out, so it’s pointless to keep it a secret,” said Sam again.Sam looked at Dakota for a moment, then focused back on the road. He was waiting for Dakota’s answer.“It’s a message from Roger. You think I couldn’t have secrets?” Dakota asked, looking at Sam with sharp eyes.Sam stammered. That was true; everyone had the right to have secrets.“Uh, well, but your secrets aren’t like everyone
CRIME BOOK 101 Unexpected
While the commotion on the other side of the café didn’t deter the man from meeting Dakota, Edi had to step in as the fight escalated with more people joining in. He felt his emotions rising and pushed two men back into the café.“How rude! Can’t you keep the noise down here?”Sam watched Dakota and the man through his binoculars. He noticed the man starting to sit down in front of Dakota, then aimed his binoculars further down the street. Sam’s eyes widened; for some reason, he felt something big was approaching. Just like what Dakota said, move your perspective to the back and you can see the whole picture. That is what he has in mind now, his gut telling him so.“Damn it, everyone, head towards Dakota!” Sam shouted. He get out of his car and rushed to cross the street. From the main road, he spotted a

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
