"Can I have them?," The officer was startled by detective Tom's sudden request. He looked down at the bundle of newspapers in his hands, frowning at the way the dust from them smeared his uniform. "Sir... These are just trash," The officer sounded uncertain but Tom shook his head and stretched his hands to collect the newspaper. The officer didn't dare to object so he just gave the papers to Tom and turned around to walk back into the room. Tom didn't leave. He followed behind the officer and when he walked in, he wasn't surprised to see officers everywhere, searching through the deceased things. Even the room was in a mess. He hurriedly put down the newspaper and the first thing he noticed was the headline. His brows furrowed as he mumbled it out softly,"Hawk? How come I never heard of him." The headline stated,'THERE HAS BEEN PRISON BREAK AND ONE OF THE CRIMINALS ON LOOSE, HAWK WAS SENTENCED TO BE MURDERED THIS WEEK.' This week? Detective Tom checked the date of t
"Gone?," Heaven's frown deepened. She didn't notice that he was staring at her intensely. "Why did she leave?" She didn't expect Emily and Wave to leave just like that. She thought they were gonna stay over. She suddenly felt goosebumps and looked up at him. He looked away just in time. Heaven eyebrows knitted in confusion. Was he just staring at her or she was imagining things? "The food will get cold if we don't eat now," His voice sounded hoarse. He was even avoiding looking at her. "Hmm," She nodded even if he couldn't see her and walked to the dining room. She picked a random seat just at the same time that he chose a seat. Their eyes unknowingly collided and she noticed his brown eyes looked darker than before. He broke the staring contest first and looked away only for his eyes to fall on her slightly exposed bosoms. Heaven noticed this time and her cheeks immediately dimpled. Even her skin flushed. She adjusted her T-shirt and he looked away again. Feeling em
Joe rubbed his aching temple with a frustrated look. This whole thing is seriously starting to confuse him. Why would a mentally ill woman appear in the same place every time yet no one in the neighborhood could pinpoint who drops her off there? What is her connection to doctor Andy's death? Judging by the fish stench he perceived from her body and Andy's, he could deduce that she isn't completely innocent about what happened. The last question is - 'Who is she?' "Boss," Joe looked up when his subordinate shook his arm. "You can leave now," He waved his hand and looked down, missing the relieved/happy look on the officer's face as he bowed and whispered words of appreciation. Joe barely even heard the sound of the door closing as he fell into deep thoughts. He picked up a pen and a clean sheet of white paper. He wrote Leo's name first and every other list of suspects he had in mind including Wave, Heaven, Miles and others. But then he drew a long line in front of Leo's name and
Leo's eyes darkened when he noticed that familiar dark coloured dove ink just above her midriff. It seemed to trailed downwards but he could only see the ones her shorts didn't conceal. Did she get that tattoo all the way down there? He suddenly realized what he was thinking about and shook his head, looking away immediately. He felt the sudden urge to smack himself on the face. 'Jeez Leo, seriously!? You are thinking of her f* p...,' he gulped slightly, unable to complete the sentence even in his head. What the heck is going on with him? Why is he suddenly thinking of these lewd things with Heaven on his mind? "Leo." He snapped out his thoughts when he heard her voice. "Yes," He coughed slightly in an attempt to hide his nervousness but her words sent his hardwork flying out through the window. "Can... Can I sleep in your room tonight?" He choked and turned around hurriedly to grab a glass of water. It was so quiet that he almost didn't hear her but when he did... "What!?," W
Leo finally chuckled and walked into the closet. The sound of the closet doors closing made Heaven release her fingers. She heaved a sigh of relief and fanned her face which was practically on fire. Her eyes shot up at the air conditioner. Huh? It's on so why is it so hot in here?**** Somewhere in the city... The shady part of San Francisco_ "What the hell!? Are you really sure about this?," A voice thundered from the shadow... The streets were exceptionally quiet with only the sound of the stray cats in the neighborhood resounding every now and then. The man in the mask rested against the dirty walls of the alley, trying to hide his disgust. His eyes trailed around the darkness for a while but he finally gave up when he couldn't find the person he was searching for. It's too dark anyway. "Yes," This time, his voice sounded gruff. "They are planning to make that boy the head of the family. The audio tape from the CCTV footage never lies, does it?" The second, anonymous man guff
Heaven frowned, revealing her discomfort. Why won't this annoying sound go away? She tried to reach out for a pillow and discovered that she was pinned down by something or shall I say someone? Her frown deepened and she opened her eyes. Realizing that someone was knocking on the door rapidly, she yawned slightly and tried to get out of bed. That's when she noticed that she was being held down by Leo's arm. It was as heavy as a log of wood and wouldn't budge no matter how she tried to lift it. Besides that, she could feel his body plastered against hers! She gasped lowly. He... He... He actually dares to cross his boundaries and cuddle her like this! She tried to move, struggling slowly but suddenly came to a stop when she felt something stiffening behind her back. She could feel the hardness from the way it was poking her. Realizing what it is, she blushed. She didn't dare to make another move in case that thing tears out of his pants! But the knocks wouldn't stop. They even in
"Uhmm... Uhmm," Heaven struggled to get some words out but her mind wouldn't budge. It simply went blank. Mae's round eyes looked at her curiously, patiently waiting for an answer. "No one," She finally answered, in a rush. "I clearly heard the sound of a door being closed now and you are..." "Do you wanna hangout with me today? I... I'm so lonely and bored. I feel so depressed," She suddenly cut off Mae's sentence, playing the pity cards. The reason why I mentioned pity cards is because the pitiful look on her face really made her look so depressed and the sad expression tugged Mae's kind heart strings. "Yes, of course. That's the reason I initially called," She seemed to have forgotten the conversation they were having just now. She didn't even notice the look of relief on Heaven because it only appeared for a minute before it quickly faded away. "I don't want you feeling all depressed and thinking too much. But, is it okay for you to go out now?," Mae's voice lowered and made
"With four votes, it has been concluded that Mr Greene won. So Mr Greene Miles will be our next chairman!" Jake gulped and held the door frame as he watched the middle-aged man in the middle of the conference room announce the most absurd news he has ever heard. How could these groups of greedy old wackos elect someone that isn't even part of the directing board? Someone that has never been part of the directing board! He glanced outside the room once again hoping to catch sight of his boss this time but the empty hallway entertained his eyes. He sighed in disappointment and looked away. If the boss doesn't really show up today, he is surely going to lose the company. It's even worse that he as the assistant can't do anything to assist his boss. But with Miles in the board meeting and others, he isn't in a favorable position to counter their decision. Who would have thought that Miles would even show up? "But Mr Greene isn't even part of the directors!," Jake heaved a s
