“Boss” Rina came into the room carrying a tablet connected to Erw's computer. Video monitoring in front of Roy's apartment.

"That person hasn't been anywhere since yesterday?" asked Sam.

Rina nodded.

“That's right boss, according to Erw who hacked his phone, there hasn't been any strange talk for the past few days. He just went out to find food and went back into his apartment to do his job as usual. This person seems to know that we are watching him” replied Rina.

Sam thought.

“Hmm, have you found the photos from the accident at that time? Could the victim have kept her photo in a secret place and told the perpetrator that she had evidence that made the perpetrator decide to kill her?” asked Sam.

Rina shook her head.

“We haven’t found anything, boss, Luk and I have gone to Leila's apartment and searched everywhere we can, Andy is also there helping us look for evidence, photos or videos or something, but there is nothing, boss. Andy said that two years is a long time, Leila's old cell

    Phil's apartment.Phil looks restless, even though his lawyers say that he can escape indictment due to lack of evidence. But what makes it worse is that the news and public have caught the smells and linked it to the case that dragged his name two years ago.“Latest news, it is known that the son of one of a Minister is actively involved in the murder case of a famous internet star. Recently, the police found evidence that the victim was killed by the perpetrator and his partner in their apartment and dumped in a trash can not far from the crime scene. Currently, this case is being actively handled by the Bayward Central Police who said they would complete all the evidence and transfer it to the prosecutor's office for further processing.”Andy's face appeared."That's just their trick because the perpetrator is the son of an official, of course, the police will let him go, if it weren't for this case that has spread everywhere, maybe they will just let him go" Andy looked sad and hel

Then looked at his former assistant with sharp eyes. He looked around, he didn't know that Roy knew about this kind of place, that place was clearly far and deserted from anywhere."Are you crazy? Can't you calm down a bit?" he asked.Roy looked at Phil with sharp eyes, he is very angry but Phil instead looked very calm.

    Dark. The remaining speck of light appeared somewhere. There was a faint muttering sound like the voice of a woman who was now sitting in a very narrow room. Too cramped to be unable to move her body. A speck of light revealed a pair of wide-eyed eyes with a glistening forehead as if drenched in a viscous liquid that was dripping down to her eyes, it resembled blood continuously dripping down. She shouted. But no sound came out of her gagged mouth. Two hands and feet tightly bound in a semi-sitting position in a narrow stuffy room with almost no air."Ummm!"She tried to scream. But it turned out that the sound outside was louder than her. In the middle of a large house building that is still under construction. The sounds of sawing machines and floor casting machines sounded much louder and even shook the floor where the person was. They were so close, they should have heard her if she tried harder.“Ump!”No matter how hard the poor woman could make a sound, no one would be able to h

    Clekk.The sound of the door was opened and closed after that.Back to Dakota's apartment downtown. Sam didn't really want to go back there after Dakota disappeared two months ago, but he still had some of his stuff in there, and anyway, Kim thought he should stay in there and keep it clean until Dakota came back. That person might come back there at any moment.This is ridiculous, Sam thought, taking a deep breath as he sat down on the couch in the living room where he and Dakota used to spend time together. Was Dakota mad at him because he didn't try to find him? He had tried, but since he was in good hands Sam thought he wouldn't try very hard to find him.Sam looked at the mug that was still on the living room table, Dakota's drinking mug. He smiled, the man must be very angry when he found out he had not cleaned the glass for two months.Sam stood up, put the mug in the sink, and opened the fridge. His hand was just about to take his cold water bottle by the door when he remembere

    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.

    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.

    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

    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
