Dark. The remaining speck of light appeared somewhere. There was a faint muttering sound like the voice of a woman who was now sitting in a very narrow room. Too cramped to be unable to move her body. A speck of light revealed a pair of wide-eyed eyes with a glistening forehead as if drenched in a viscous liquid that was dripping down to her eyes, it resembled blood continuously dripping down. She shouted. But no sound came out of her gagged mouth. Two hands and feet tightly bound in a semi-sitting position in a narrow stuffy room with almost no air."Ummm!"She tried to scream. But it turned out that the sound outside was louder than her. In the middle of a large house building that is still under construction. The sounds of sawing machines and floor casting machines sounded much louder and even shook the floor where the person was. They were so close, they should have heard her if she tried harder.“Ump!”No matter how hard the poor woman could make a sound, no one would be able to h
Rocketfield Campus. One of the prestigious high schools located in downtown Bayward bordering district five. Almost all of his students are children of rich people who are willing to spend more to send their children to prestigious schools whose level is just below CW. It is known that the victim, who came from an underprivileged family, was a student who received a full scholarship from several others who received the same educational facilities as many rich children there.Sam's vehicle had just turned into the gate and had to show identification before getting inside."Central Police, we have made an appointment with the dean," Sam said showing his ID. The gatekeeper looked at Sam and Rina for a moment, then straightened up and waved at his partner to open the barricade.Sam just pulled his lips, as he had expected, going to a well-known reputable university to look for a missing child, would be very difficult.Soon after.Vice dean, Lina Ross greeted Sam and Rina after the two of
Clekk.The sound of the door was opened and closed after that.Back to Dakota's apartment downtown. Sam didn't really want to go back there after Dakota disappeared two months ago, but he still had some of his stuff in there, and anyway, Kim thought he should stay in there and keep it clean until Dakota came back. That person might come back there at any moment.This is ridiculous, Sam thought, taking a deep breath as he sat down on the couch in the living room where he and Dakota used to spend time together. Was Dakota mad at him because he didn't try to find him? He had tried, but since he was in good hands Sam thought he wouldn't try very hard to find him.Sam looked at the mug that was still on the living room table, Dakota's drinking mug. He smiled, the man must be very angry when he found out he had not cleaned the glass for two months.Sam stood up, put the mug in the sink, and opened the fridge. His hand was just about to take his cold water bottle by the door when he remembere
In the end, the team managed to bring some students to the police station for further investigation. Including Peter Rowen and Roger Wink. As well as Ginger Ward and the chairman of the Darno Club, a club with members of full and partial scholarship students, Allen Harvey. A study club students who study harder than any other student on the massive Rocketfield campus.Sam and Emma stood in the monitor's room watching Rina, Aris, and the team interviewing the witnesses in the room.Recently Emma seemed a bit at ease as she had handed over the last body to the family after the prosecutor took over their last case. Even though there are still some hit-and-run corpses and so on that are lying stiffly in the autopsy room's refrigerator to this day. But since Dakota's disappearance, it seems that the corpses with strange shapes and appearances don't visit her room that much. It was a bit boring actually but she enjoyed her free time, she could even watch the interview process while enjoying
But, not long after, finally, Sam and the team had to comply to welcome a new guy who sat in a new office which turned out to be on the floor two rooms after Ron's room. After a while, the room that was to be an ex-file storage room was renovated so beautifully and turned into their new consultant’s office.Everyone's eyes didn't stop looking at the figure of a person who was already standing behind the window looking at the report in his hand.Sam swallowed hard, looking out from under his feet, a matte black loafer with a long glistening cane beside it. Long legs, slim waist, nice body, who else but Dakota Sorensson? Who‘s now stood up to see everyone who was present in the room.“Dax”Sam was about to step forward when Commissioner Gun Hale came in from behind, his face grinning from ear to ear. Incredibly, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. Usually, at the same time now the boss already got out of the office, even earlier because he was busy building good relations wheth
District three, suburban Bayward shopping and entertainment area on Central Oak Avenue.The loud music from the nightclub could be heard on the streets when the front door was opened. The long queue at the front of the club forced Aris and Ian, who were about to break through, to show their IDs to get past another queue. At twelve o'clock at midnight, both of them are working overtime following a tip from Erw about their witness's whereabouts.The colorful lights from inside the club room can be seen briefly outside the club reflecting off the stagnant water on the highway, shortly after the heavy rain earlier. The rain was still drizzling but that didn't make the visitors discourage them and keep coming to the nightclub which is famous for being crowded and open for up to 24 hours.The loud music banging on the wall and shaking the floor. The dim with colorful balls light spinning around at the ceiling with lots of smoke hovering in the air. Yeah, that's a nightclub like the other nig
Meeting room.The team had gathered to present their latest case that morning. Sam glanced at the files in front of him, and find the picture of the search area that Erw was taken from his drone's camera. Monti family home complex. He had studied the case while at the police academy, a case that went viral twenty-five years ago when he was even a toddler. He remembers skimming through some of the documents because the case was a mystery case with very few clues so this case became one of the cold unsolved cases. Even though the police have issued a verdict that this is a domestic crime, which means that the crime was committed by members of their own family.He remembered that night a few days ago.Clek!The sound of doors opening and closing. Sam walked into the consultant's room and approached Dakota's desk, carrying a cup of hot chocolate that was still steaming hot when he placed it on the table. He had not seen his colleague all morning until now.Dakota looked exhausted and leane
In the police headquarters parking area, Sam hurriedly stepped out of the building, chasing after Dakota, who seemed ready to leave the station that afternoon. As usual, he probably had a class at CW. “Dax!” he called out. Dakota didn’t slow down, even though he wasn’t moving very fast due to his still somewhat weak legs. Sam finally grabbed his arm. "Hey, why are you in such a hurry? I still have something to ask you about" said Sam.Dakota glanced at Sam’s hand on his arm, and Sam quickly realized and let go. “Uh, sorry! Do you have time? I want to talk about something.” Dakota checked his watch. “Sorry, but I have a class in an hour. Can we talk another time?” he replied. Sam looked at Dakota very seriously. “Teaching again? Aren’t you tired? Teaching and being a special consultant, I don’t get why you love that job so much. Come on, let’s grab lunch and talk. You’re so busy that we never have time to chat.” said Sam.To Dakota’s surprise, Sam took his hand and pulled him in
