Thomas decided to stop his vehicle for a moment to stretch his leg muscles since he stepped on the gas and brake pedals.“Heh, my bones are old, sitting too long driving a car can be a problem. Especially when it's cold like this.”Thomas turned to Dakota who was looking at him."Sorry, we'll stop here for a while, oh yeah, your cell phone, I'll get it for you, just a moment"Thomas got out of the car, move to Dakota's side, open the door took the phone which had fallen under the seat.“Thanks, Tom,” said Dakota grabbing his phone from Thomas’s hand.The man immediately back to his seat.Dakota looked at the phone."I've sent all your photos to Sam's email, by now, they might have sent someone to look for you"Dakota's words stopped Thomas' hand which was already holding his seat belt.

Sam stood blankly in front of the coffee machine. Still staring at the machine even though the glass is full and waiting for him to take it until someone in line behind him wakes him up."Uh, pardon me, the coffee is ready"Sam slightly gasped, and the young woman smiled at him. Sam immediately grabbed his coffee cup."Oh forgive me, uh, p-please"Sam stepped away from the coffee vending machine located at the end of the hall on the ground floor. Sam went downstairs and cleared his unfocused mind. He was standing in front of the lobby where hospital visitors kept coming. It was ten in the morning, he should have been back at the office but Ron had given him a few days off because of what happened two days ago.Sam was just about to take a sip of his hot coffee when the cell phone in his trouser pocket vibrated.Zrrrttt.Sam reached into his pocket and took out his cellphone seeing a call from Rina.“Yah Rin”“What again?

Afternoon sun over Bayward city sky. The orange sun appeared on the sidelines of the building reflecting its rays in all directions. The sound of vehicles honking their horns filled the main road.The big city which is one of the pillars of the capital city never dies, although some corners of the city look deserted, downtown Bayward is always busy and jammed at some points.Cleck.Robert closed the door, he had just picked up Kim who was standing by the bed looking at Dakota for a long time.The young woman smiled, caressing her brother's cheek gently.“Hey kid, when are you going to stop making your sister worry?”The young woman lowered her head and kissed Dakota's forehead."Chup"Slowly, Dakota opened his eyes, a pair of blue-grey eyes that shone in the reflection of the sun's rays, and stared at Kim's soft and beautiful face who had lowered her head to him. Curly hair with a pleasant smell that Dakota always loved, soft hands with curly fingers, the body odour of his favourite p

By noon.Sam was back at the police station to further investigate their case, it would all be over soon, or maybe not. However, the explosion at the police building invited many reporters who had gathered in front of the police building outside the gate.

CRIME BOOK 101 Not Alone
Sam walked to his car, stop and looked at Dakota's badge that was now in his hand.Remember what the Prime Minister said about removing Dakota from his team, but, is that what Dakota wants?He remembered one day, talking to Dakota why did he insist on endangering himself to join the special crimes unit? Meanwhile, with his current position and abilities, Dakota can sit comfortably on the top floor of the police headquarters building and become the head of the psychology division. It was the perfect position for his level of intelligence.“You know that special crimes unit means handling dangerous cases, way more than you can imagine. I think, what your dad said is right, there's no need for you to be here Dax”Dakota stared at him for a moment.“What do you think is more dangerous than my life now? I won't be able to escape Sam, ever, if I don't finish this, it will haunt me forever, how can I not get involved in it?Sam pursed his lips, he nodded slowly."Hmm, that's true, but, there
CRIME BOOK 101 Pieces of the Past
Dakota's tightly closed eyelids moved as if experiencing a dream that had emerged from his subconscious."Mommy!"A gentle gust of wind passed behind his head. The sweet smell of baked chocolate cake, mixed with the smell of lilies that will never be forgotten. The smell that evokes all the beautiful memories that soothe the soul.The white curtains waved far away, a warm breeze blowing along the second floor of the large whitewashed building. From the balcony on the floor, a woman standing at the end hall opened her arms wide to welcome a small child who ran into her arms."Oh, my little Prince is home"The woman lifted the little boy's body, embraced him and turned around.“Hehehehe sweet boy, what did you learn today?”The smell of his mother's comfortable body. The warmth of her body and her beautiful smile that shone behind the bright and gentle sunlight. The sweet laughter of a small child with his little hands playing with his mother's long curly and fragrant hair.Some men sitt
CRIME BOOK 101 A Cow Head
“You, are not suspicious of Susan Aldrin? Do you really believe her? ”August grinned, he lifted his cup of tea, take a sip and put it back in its place slowly."Heh, from the beginning, I was, but all the evidence did not point at her. I have often said that she was no longer accepted in my house, but the woman kept coming and saying that she would tell Dakota about what happened when he was little, and tell the world about Dakota who pushing a girl down into the cliff. I can't let her do that, that would hurt the kid the most. The only way I could do to stall her, is just try to have a relationship with her, even if it's full of vigilance. Sam, you don't know how much I want to investigate all the problems that happened before that got Belinda killed, but I don't have any real evidence, investigating it could put everyone, Kim and Dakota in danger, No matter what, I don't want to take that risk"Sam looked at August, for some reason he didn't think the man was telling him all the tru

Dakota lowered his heavy head to the high pillow behind him."Heh, no matter what, they will have that engagement day, Sam, sooner or later, after all, we will always meet at all times, what will make Kim sad?"Sam stuttered, he scratched his head thinking."Em, well, because it's a very important day for her, all the family members should come, eh ..." Sam was speechless, he didn't think that Kim and Dakota had lost their mom. Silently Sam hit his mouth."Ouch."Dakota turned,"Sam, I want to ask for your help, um, what, do you have time to accompany me to the old house?" Dakota asked.Sam thought."Well of course, do you want to find something there?"Dakota nodded, he picked up his cell phone next to his body on the bed, searched for something and handed it to Sam."This, it's more or less like this"Sam looked at what Dakota was showing him, his eyes widening to see what was in the photo on the cell phone screen."Uh this ..." but Sam couldn't be too excited, Dakota would know that

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
