CRIME BOOK 101 Numb
Dakota fell silent, staring off into the distance, looking at his feet covered by a blanket. Since waking up from the coma, she couldn’t feel the tips of her toes. According to the doctor, this was normal, considering AB attacked the nerves first before hitting his heart and brain. He might only be temporarily paralyzed because he could still feel Sam’s strong hands massaging his legs.“Does this hurt?” Sam asked, pulling back the blanket from Dakota’s feet and massaging both of his legs.Dakota nodded. “It doesn’t hurt, but I can feel it.” “Is it like, you’re numbed but can still feel your tooth being pulled?” Sam asked. Hearing this, Dakota furrowed his brow. “What do you mean? What does that feel like?” Sam pursed his lips. “You know, when you go to the dentist, they inject anesthesia into your mouth that numbs it, so you don’t feel pain when they pull your tooth.” Dakota thought for a moment, furrowing his brow again as he looked at Sam and shook his head. “Um, may

"Easy, come here," Sam said, extending his arm around Dakota's shoulder. Dakota glanced at the young man for a moment. "Sam, what are you doing?" Sam frowned. "What else? Helping you get from this chair to your bed. What did you think I was doing?" he asked, still in the same position. Dakota bit his lip; he really did need Sam's help to get to his bed. His legs were still very weak, he couldn’t even stand. Dakota wrapped his arms around Sam's neck while his friend lifted him from the wheelchair to the bed. "Come on, lucky for you that you’re skinny, Dax, you more like a skeleton now. After this, you need to eat a lot; I’ll cook something delicious every day."

The lobby of the luxurious apartment in the heart of the city was indeed fitting for its name, with beautiful and lavish decor and furniture that was a delight to the eyes. Only people with excess money could afford an apartment there. Dakota pushed his wheelchair to a stop in the middle of the lobby, looking up to take in his surroundings.

CW University. Almost midday.In the coffee shop on the ground floor of the main CW building. Dakota looked up as he saw Sam approaching with his order, black coffee, and a piece of tiramisu cake. Even though it was getting close to noon, they had rushed out that morning and forgotten to take the time to enjoy their coffee. Sam took a sip of his coffee. "Hmm, this smells amazing." Sam glanced at his watch; it was past eleven, but there was still no sign of Dakota's senior showing up. That guy really didn’t value their time. "It’s been ten minutes already, where is he? Let’s just head back to the office," Sam said. Dakota lifted his coffee cup, savoring it slowly. "Your watch is too fast, Sam. It’s only one minute past eleven," said Dakota. Sam widened his eyes, glancing at his watch and then at the wall clock not far from them. "Really? No wonder I’ve always been early, but still late by a minute, how silly." Sam hadn’t finished grumbling when someone appeared from beh
