"Looks like it's going to rain, if you take too long I'll call the car to take me home, well, then hurry up"Dakota saw Thomas sitting quietly leaning his back on the chair, he smiled when he saw the waiter who placed his order on the table."Thank you"Dakota nodded."Okay, I'll be waiting"Dakota put his cell phone back on the table."Isn't Sam going to pick you up? How can he allow yourself here when he knows the current conditions are still very dangerous for you. They can come at any time to take you away, right?” asked Thomas.Dakota furrowed his brows, he didn't recall telling Thomas what had happened to him, but it seemed that his former comrade was quite observant."Um, they? Heh, I'm not sure if they're really after me or just trying to scare me, cause until now we don't even know who they are. I'm tired Tom, whoever it is, they can come and say whatever they want from me if that's what they think I still have it.”Dakota reached for his cell phone, looked for some photo file
Toward the night. The rain had stopped a while ago and left puddles on some parts of the road. The paved roads which are only enough for two small vehicles, surrounded by the tall grass and empty land on both sides. There are no buildings nearby, far from the crowds, not even enough lighting. Just one street lamp is lit among the other along the very deserted small road, which was very rarely passed by people.The silver sedan stopped at the side of the road. The engine was still running, and someone sat behind the steering wheel while smoking a cigarette, sending smoke billowing into the air."Fuh"It's Thomas. He was alone there, out of nowhere but his clothes looked dirty and wet, he pulled his messy hair up on top of his head. The man threw away the remaining half of his cigarette butt and turned the steering wheel to continue his way down the deserted path. Not far in the middle of the field where there was some shoe impression on the muddy road leading to the abandoned water rese
Before, In Thomas's car this afternoon.The rain had just stopped when Thomas stopped his vehicle on the side of the road because all the roads were jammed and flooded. 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. He turned his head and smiled at D
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? How did that happen?" Sam's voice was a little loud.His eyes wi
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. The police had not received any reporters who had not stopped coming since yesterday afternoon.Everything is getting complicated because there is a lot of speculation out there and news from social media saying that last night's explosion had something to do with the case involving the Prime Minister. All coolies to cyber media chasing information to the police station.Sam had just turned the wheel to avoid the crowd and gets into the police gates, which closed again as soon as the big jeep entered. Rina and Aris happened to be outside watching the crowd of reporters along with the others."What are you doing here!" exclaimed Sam, as soon as Rina and the others dispersed when Sam appeared."Boss"Sam glanced at Emma who was standing
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
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
