CRIME BOOK 101 Lose His Guard
Emma poured Sam's glass of beer until it was full, and handed it to her boss who was waiting. "If you're not drunk, don't go home tonight, right Boss?" Emma exclaimed. Sam pursed his mouth, he reached for his beer glass. "You, be careful I drive so I can't get drunk." Rina was busy grilling their meat. There was also a buzz at every other table around them, obviously, it was a Saturday night, and many had the next day off so they would be spending a lot of time there. The smoke from the grill stove and the hot soup from the hotpot are suitable for the cold and damp atmosphere caused by the never-ending rain. Sam narrowed his eyes at Emma, strange, because the young doctor had not submitted her leave letter even though she had to attend a seminar out of town by early next week. "When will you submit your leave letter?" Sam asked. Emma pursed her mouth. Grabbing another empty glass to fill it with the cold beer. "I'm not going on holiday boss, I only have one day's off for duty
CRIME BOOK 101 Stay Focus
His head hurt a lot, his vision was still blurry, and his chest hurt, as if the air had been sucked out of his surroundings and made him have to try harder to breathe.“Hoh”The sun has appeared. The sky looked quite bright, his body was weak, his muscles ached, and his head felt like he had been hit by a heavy object like a large ice cube, cold and painful at the same time. He tried to get up, bending his arms to lift his body, but, he was very weak. This, wasn't just any drugs, was that guy, giving him AB again? Even though there were no more dangerous reactions from the drug after the doctor found the antidote, it still made his muscles and nerves weak, if it continued like this he might start having difficulty breathing.Dakota couldn't just stay there and give up, but he couldn't pull himself up and could only let himself lie in the room on the dirty floor. His clothes were dirty, and a little wet from the rainwater that was seeping on the other side, the room looked old and aban
CRIME BOOK 101 A Spare
Sam turned off the phone and dialed Edi's number which was tailing him on the back of his jeep. Of course, now Edi and Phil would have already reported it to their boss, Roger, and the situation would only get worse because the Prime Minister would not remain silent. …..The air is so cold. The wind blowing from the air conditioning touch on his cheek. Whoever it was, let him lie barefoot on a white bed without a single blanket in the cold room. The ceiling looked like it was spinning, everything was like a dream, with a body that couldn't help but be paralyzed and helpless letting all the images appear in front of him without him being able to do anything to stop it. Dakota tried to reach into his trouser pocket. That person must have thrown away the cell phone and any tracking devices from him, including the GPS pin that Sam had just slipped into his pocket. He didn't have time to check it the last time his brain was still clear enough to think but, he just hoped that the device wa
CRIME BOOK 101 A Little Truth Serum
Cold, and hungry, Dakota had been there all day and the man didn't even give him food or drink a drop of water, he probably wished he would die there with all his despair. His mind started to become unfocused, not because he didn't eat or drink but because the man came and injected something into the big vein in his arm. Now, he feels like he's flying. He could hear all the sounds floating around him, and the light from the lamp which was not that bright became a very bright and hot object on the skin of his face, hurting his eyes.”Ah”Rich Barmot held Dakota's cheek, trying to make Dakota look at him."This is truth serum, you won't be able to refuse to tell everything you know or else your head will explode from it" whispered the man, his voice sounding very loud in his ears.
CRIME BOOK 101 Freeze To Death
Dakota grinned, looking at the man, Rich Barmot who was waiting for his answer.“What makes you think, that I, will have mercy on him, have you forgotten, that I, have no empathy, what, should I do now? Shouldd I sad, or beg you to let him go?” Dakota said, looking at the man sharply. His gaze made Rich Barmot a little shaken. Those were not the eyes he expected from a helpless hostage who could lose his life at any moment."You"However, Rich Barmot did not back off. He’s the one who on the high place now, and Dakota was just a rabbit who ran no matter how far but still couldn't escape his claws from hunting him. As an eagle who watched him every move, no matter how hard he tried to bluff him, he couldn't possibly be defeated by the young man.He waved one hand at the big man, the man then grabbed Aaron so easily and threw him against the wall.The loud bang from the body with bones hitting the wall as if the distant boom of gunfire deafened Dakota's ears. He might have exaggerated w
CRIME BOOK 101 Nowhere
The rain fell very hard. Some lightning and thunder could be seen and heard from a distance. Sam was still sitting in his jeep having lost all sense of where they should go. Certainly don't leave the Z city area because Dakota may be still there. But they have combed all the places, even the impossible ones, the mines of Z City which have been abandoned and left behind ruins and uncontrolled wild plants. Edi and Phil have also contacted Roger. Roger has his way of looking for Dakota's trail, but they will tell each other if they find even the slightest light.The sun had just risen, the second day, and they had not returned to headquarters at all since yesterday, while the other teams had already returned to change shifts. Aris opened the door from the outside and got into the passenger seat next to Sam, handing him a package of food that Aris had to order online far from Cyan City because there was nothin
CRIME BOOK 101 The Bombs
“Dakota, wake up, open your eyes!” shouts Sam shaking Dakota's slumped body. Sam lifted Dakota's limp body and saw the blood flowing from his wrist. Sam put pressure on the wound to stop the bleeding. "Dax, wake up, open your eyes" he patted Dakota's cheek trying to wake him up. His whole body was cold as ice, with such cold weather they left him in a room with a temperature far below normal. Sam took off his jacket, put it on Dakota, and tried to wake him up. “Dakota, open your eyes, don't fall asleep” Slowly the loud noise finally woke Dakota up, he wasn't dreaming of seeing Sam's face there. Dakota smiled, with the last of his strength he raised his trembling hand to touch Sam's cheek. "Sam, you came" Sam nodded. “Yes, of course, I'm coming, are you okay? We're getting out of here, can you stand?” Sam shouldn't have asked, Dakota was so weak he was almost dead, how could he stand up? Dakota looked around, he was still in the same room, meaning they hadn't left there yet. Dako
CRIME BOOK 101 So Tired
“What about details, like tattoos or birthmarks? Aaron Eralda has a small tattoo behind his ear, a small cross tattoo. And there is a birthmark on the back of his waist. A pretty big mole, do you see it?” Sam asked, impatient to get back to the location, but he couldn't possibly leave Dakota now, they hadn't found who the perpetrator was. Rina shook her head. "I can't see it, Boss, the rest of the body is black, Boss, you know I can't see a corpse like that..." Rina hadn't finished speaking when Sam yelled at her. "The start to do it! Look carefully at the rest of the body, if necessary, hold the part that has the mark. Do I have to tell you how you do your job?” Sam's loud voice surprised Rina. Her boss had never shouted at her before, this must be because his boss was tired and the Professor's condition was worrying, she understood how her boss felt so she wasn't hurt at all. Rina nodded. "Okay, Boss, I'll take a look" Sam lowered his cell phone. Also, his chest, which had been

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.

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. Find out the woman&rsquo

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
