CRIME BOOK 101 Someone From The Past
"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
CRIME BOOK 101 Missed
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
CRIME BOOK 101 All these time
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
CRIME BOOK 101 Chilled Down
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.

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

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 ?

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
