CRIME BOOK 101 Cases
"What do you think I'm going to do Sam? Guy has no family, except me, he doesn't know anyone else who knows him better. I should, I've suspected him since the beginning of our meeting, he knows about what foods I can't eat if I'm also allergic to phosphorus, it didn't just appear on my employee report. I should have suspected it, but his sincerity caught me off guard.”Sam played with the pen on his desk and saw some of his members who had finished their work late into the night and one by one excused themselves. Rina and Aris entered from outside and stopped in front of him."That's called being human, Dax. We've all been careless once in a while, and you're no exception. I'll have Emma finish the report on Guy's body early in the morning. Hopefully, in two days, you'll be able to retrieve his body. Regardless of the crime he committed, he deserved a proper funeral. So far, that man has been instrumental in helping the District Six police deal with such a complicated case..”Dakota no
CRIME BOOK 101 The Belonging
The night at Dakota's apartment.Sam was just back from police headquarters and brought back Guy Russo's belongings in a medium-sized carton box. All the evidence has been tagged and recorded, so if any of it missing then Sam must be held responsible, this is because Dakota can't wait to see Guy's belongings which he believes that person must have left something that only he can find out what it is.The box was on the table in front of the sofa, in front of Dakota now. He had been staring at it for a while because Sam said he couldn't open the box until he had finished taking a shower. And Sam took a long shower.Dakota was almost tired of sitting in his wheelchair when Sam came out from the bathroom while drying his wet hair with a towel, he frowned at Dakota who was still in the position he was in when he got into the bathroom earlier."Why, why are you still there? Are you waiting for me?" cried Sam.Dakota pursed his lips, wanting to hit Sam in annoyance, and he still had the nerve
CRIME BOOK 101 The Engagement
Robert put Kim's arm around his and approached his father."Dad, of course, what do people say if they see the daughter of the esteemed Prime Minister as unattractive, it will become national news, Dad"August chuckled as he hugged his daughter and patting Kim's back."Who dares to talk about you like that? After all, what has to do with me, this is your party, instead, people will say that Kimberly's father is old and ugly"Kim let go of her arms, laughing lightly at her father's ridiculous face."Daddy"She stopped her laugh when she saw Sam there, the young woman smiled and came forward to hug him."Hey Sam, thanks for coming, where’s Dakota?" she asked while looking inside the big house.Sam nodded."Of course, I'll come, Dakota can't wait to come earlier"Kimberly narrowed her eyes, suspicious of him."Well, as long as you guys don't make a fuss in the middle of the event, I don't want this event that I have paid for quite a lot to ruin because of you"Sam smiled."I can't promise
CRIME BOOK 101 After Dinner
Towards the end of the dinner. Finally, Susan and her daughter decided to leave the house, disappointed by Dakota's refusal.Sam and Dakota stood by the pool watching the guests leave in an orderly line at the gate.The two of them were seriously talking when Alisa approached."Dax, too bad, I still want to stay here with you, your father agreed that we need to try to get to know each other first before getting engaged, um, how about I sleep in your room tonight?"Dakota saw the girl who then moved in front of him, and looked at her from head to toe, Alisa Aldrin, Susan's daughter who turned twenty-five this year. The little and beautiful girl looked brainless and resembled a baby doll, but who would have guessed, if she turned out to be very cunning?Dakota remembered vividly when the little girl pushed him to fall from the stairs down to the first floor. He also remembered, when the heartless girl ordered her innocent and timid step-brother, little Aaron, to bury Imelda alive, and, h
CRIME BOOK 101 The Proof.
The night continues, at the police station."I don't accept this! I won't say anything until my lawyer comes here!” exclaimed Alisa, who was already sitting in the suspect's chair in the interrogation room.Sam and Rina were the ones conducting the interrogation.“Oh please, then, will it take long? It's already midnight, your lawyer is working late too? You said he’s in abroad now, right?” Sam asked, glancing at the clock behind him.Alisa glared at Sam. The young girl almost exploded with anger that had reached the top of her head."Aren't you guys joking? Want to sue me for an incident that was only witnessed by a kid? And, you guys don't have any evidence other than the necklace, your evidence isn't even enough to make me go to the police station, let alone to sue me!”“Are you sure you don't want to wait until your lawyer comes? Miss Aldrin?”Alisa smirked.“Hey, for that mean I have to wait until tomorrow morning? Better get it done right now.”Sam pulled at his waist long, then
CRIME BOOK 101 No Trust Between Us
It rained quite heavily that afternoon. The sky was still bright when the rain suddenly fell and made puddles on the sides of the road. Dakota just watched from a distance, sitting in the hummer with Sam beside him, where some people from the funeral house do procession at the public cemetery outside Bayward. If it wasn't for the heavy rain he would have sent Guy and his daughter to their last resting place, beside his wife, at least, that was what Guy wanted.Dakota hadn't noticed this before, but in the past, Guy had been drinking and nearly got drunk, said tears in his eyes when he saw the news about a family involved in a single accident because the car was pushed into a ravine. The whole family died instantly, Guy once said how lucky they were because no one was left behind and suffering from such a huge loss.Dakota thought Guy must want to be reunited with his family, wife, and daughter after all this time being separated and suffering from not knowing what happened to him.

CRIME BOOK 101 Ambush
Dakota looked around, his eyes stopped looking at the small room next to the living room, the music room. Slowly he moved his wheelchair towards it.Dakota stopped in front of the piano which was covered with a dusty white cloth, just staring at the small piano for a long time."What song do you want to hear? Mom will play for this very sweet little prince.”It was his last year with his mother and all the memories he recently got back, how could he forget all those good memories? Dakota approached the piano, lifting the piano keys at the very end that had slipped out of place, though they were still functioning perfectly fine. Only little Dakota knew it was broken and he often hid something inside, whether it was chocolate or a snack and ate it when his music teacher wasn't looking at him. And there was something small in it which was almost covered in dust.Sam approached, widening his eyes at what was already in Dakota's hand. The thing that the Prime Minister mentioned the other da
CRIME BOOK 101 Tracking Device
Not long after.The police vehicle from Bayward and the ambulance had pulled over. The rain was still pouring down so everyone had to wear raincoats to avoid getting wet.Sam sat in the ambulance where medics helped bandage his back which was hit so hard earlier, while Dakota lay inside after medics confirmed he wasn't in any danger. Luckily he has a very smart team, the nearest police station in Cyan City is right downhill and they immediately went there after hearing that the Prime Minister's son was in danger, they rushed there as fast as lightning, otherwise, he might lose his comrade.Sam raised his hand when the medic asked if he was feeling better."Yes, thank you" he turned his head to see Dakota who slowly came to his senses."Heh, Sam"His head hurt unbelievably. This time they had been openly attacked simultaneously, and this was so tense. He tried to get up to sit up.Sam patted Dakota's leg."Are you okay? The road ahead was a bit landslide just now, we have to wait a litt

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. The busyness of the metropolitan city has been visible since the sun was bright. Far below, the city's main roads are starting to fill with vehicles of all sizes sharing the pollution.Sam had just put on his leather jacket, today was going to be a busy one. He had to go early in the morning to the office for the weekly routine meeting and to analyze the various cases that were piling up.The bombing case at the center has not yet been resolved and several other cases have emerged.

As usual, chef Edi looks quite busy in the kitchen.Don't look at his appearance like that, what is clear is that his monthly salary is much bigger than Sam's, he knows that from Kim. Sam just wanted to resign and become Dakota's personal driver, that would be more profitable

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
