Sam wandered around the hospital looking for information about patients who came after undergoing a transplant. Somehow the second-class hospital in the city became one of the hospitals with the highest number of similar patient arrivals among the others.“What about his current condition? Can he be interviewed?” Sam asked the doctor on duty at the ER at that time, Dr Akmer, a dark-skinned man with a slightly grey beard on his chin. The doctor turned his head and looked at the emergency room for a moment."That kid? I don't know if he wants to be asked by the police or not, because he looks so secretive. He doesn't even tell who he donated his kidney to, he doesn't have any family or friends we can ask.”Sam frowned.“Then, can I see his stuff? Clothes, shoes, or, cell phones?” Sam asked, he knew it was impossible for him to do without a warrant. But considering the young man was alone with no family or guardian, he could ask him directly when he regained consciousness."You can, but,
Until nightfall, Erw finally managed to find someone among the young police officers who had experience in disguise, Denis, a twenty-five-year-old young man who was then seconded to the team. The young man was sitting across from Sam now for a brief meeting on their case.Every now and then Sam turns to Dakota who looks serious looking at his laptop screen. Sam can't wait to make fun of Dakota because what he thought about being impossible to find people in a short time turned out to be wrong. They got it on time, and thanks to Ron's orders, they were able to ask for the young officer to help them.After all, according to Erw, it would be very risky for Dakota to disguise himself in the network because Dakota's face is quite famous lately, lest he accidentally throws himself into the tiger's cage."So, Denis, it's going to be like this ..:" Sam's voice dominates the room.Before the day was over, Erw had registered Denis's name as a member of the buyer, with a deposit lent by the polic
Sam hurried to the front of his car, his eyes widening as he saw Dakota lying on the ground next to his damaged wheelchair. The laundry van had just collided with it and sped away, hitting the parking barrier in the process and stopping. Sam quickly rushed to Dakota's side.“Dakota! What happened?" Sam screamed in panic, at least Dakota managed to keep the vehicle from leaving.Sam couldn't believe what the young professor had done who was now smiling at him. Did he do it on purpose?"Dax, are you nuts?" cried Sam loudly.Shortly after at the police headquarters.For neglectful reasons and nearly causing harm to Dakota, who was reportedly crossing the street, three laundry workers were taken to the police station for questioning. Specifically, Sam, Aries, and Rina were each separated for individual checks.Unbelievable was the rage that consumed young Rina, as she knew the man nearly collided with Dakota. Luckily, he had hurled himself out of harm's way just in time for the vehicle to
"Ahem, stop it already, don't make any more fuss, how can you not be rumored to be husband and wife if you keep fighting like that every day"Rina and Aris are still mocking each other, if not for Sam and Dakota there the two of them might have hit each other, lucky both of them were assigned separately. "Get over it, okay. Rina, go to Erw's room and ask for all the important details about the three employees of the Orchid laundry house. Dakota said witness C who has a tattoo and also works at a nightclub where Jon is also a member. I want you to invite one person to join you and keep an eye on what he's doing for twenty-four hours, then do manual recon.”Sam turned to Aris.“Aris, go to the Orchid laundry house. Ask for a list of deliveries for this month, and find out how many times they pick up and send laundry to Rosewell Hospital. We can match their data from the hospital's statement which says about patients who suddenly come and are tested at the hospital. What about the result
That night turned out to be a very long one. Although the auction lasted for only two hours, the auctioneer managed to close a sale and purchase agreement for two blue colours. One of which belonged to Denis, one red, and one green, while so far the two black colours have not closed the deal yet. From what Erw tracked all night during the live broadcast, the website address where the live broadcast was spotted outside the city, to be precise in a very quiet office building near the city of Cyan, a small industrial city around Bayward.Sam and the team were already outside the building, ready to rush in and explore the contents of the office building, located quite far from civilization. Erw had observed from the street surveillance cameras surrounding the three-story office that a group of people, possibly network members, were gathering near the office block. However, due to the distance, Erw hesitated to confirm the exact number of individuals present.Sam gave the code to the team
Sam turned to Dakota who was so serious in front of his laptop screen, from the reflection of the light in his clear glasses it seemed like he was watching a video. Sam immediately pushed his chair towards him.“Dax, what are you looking at? So seriously like that."Sam came closer to see the laptop screen where he was playing the video that Rina had watched at that time. The girl did a good job. The surveillance camera from the van was sophisticated enough to be able to take from a very long distance, capturing every movement of witness C quite clearly, as if they were seeing it right before their eyes."Is there something strange?" asked Sam.Dakota didn't answer immediately, he raised his glasses which had dropped slightly because he lowered his head earlier."Emm" only nodded with one word.Sam frowned and looked at the young professor who didn't even look away at all, saw the minute the video was playing, it looked like he’s been watching the video for quite a long time now. For D
While in Erw's room.Dakota sat beside Erw who turned on several of his computer screens simultaneously, as well as his spare laptop screen which was in front of Dakota. All showed video footage in front of Rosewell Hospital which Erw managed to capture from the street monitoring camera.Another screen shows a video recording of where witness C was when he received the envelope. They still don't have any clue what they were looking for from the video footage with so many different people besides witness C on the other screen and people in and out of Rosewell Hospital, but Dakota's sharp eyes behind his clear glasses were watching closely. He had time to raise his glasses slightly down without realizing it, left and right, forward, sideways. There were four screen videos playing at the same time, and all at different times and places. From the restaurant, the roadside in front of the cafe, to the aisle between buildings.Erw took a sip of his cold coffee with one gulp. The technician
While everyone was seriously thinking, Sam's phone vibrated, it was Erw's."Yeah Erw, what did you get""Boss, last night Professor spotted a resemblance of someone being on the video footage of the street monitoring in front of the hospital and in the club's area. I've found him, Boss" Sam listened while looking at Dakota who happened to be looking at his direction."We'll be there soon Erw" Sam waved his hand at Dakota."Rina, Aris, according to our plan to lure Low Key out of hiding, don't forget to carry out our plan before noon. That man is like a mouse, it is very difficult to find his hiding place, he is the only one we can possibly rely on to find the location of the origin of the live broadcast of online gambling networks. Don't let this fails.”Rina and Aris nodded at the same time.“Yes Boss"Sam approached Dakota and took his partner out to Erw's room."Come on Dax, Erw found something in the video, he said you asked him to found someone who looked suspicious""Did Erw find
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. That&rsqu
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
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. He came out of his room, and saw Dakota who was ready at the dining table in the kitchen. 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
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
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
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. Find out the woman&rsquo
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
"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,
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
