ログイン"I can't believe you agreed to having me stay over at your place rather than staying over at ours." I scoffed as Theron laid the blankets on the living room floor."You are just being stubborn for no reason. She's lived alone for years before you showed up, what makes you think she can't survive one night in her own? It's not like you do much around the house anyways." He shrugged in response.He did have a point though. Granny handled all the chores at the house from cooking to dishes, and even laundry. I only helped out during the weekends when we cleaned the house."Besides we need to talk." He added once he finished."You are damn right we do." I muttered, staring at the envelope in my hand."Isn't it a bit early for your first case to have a file that thick?" He chuckled, walking over to the kitchen.I said nothing at first, just walking behind him into the kitchen. "It's not my case file, it's Jason's." I sighed."Oh, what is it about?" He asked, interest waning in his tone.He
I don't know how, but Melissa had managed to get Cynthia, Paul, and the other hostages out before I arrived. Their captors, however, weren't too pleased by that as they unleashed their weapons on the door."Call for backup." She yelled, leaning against the wall next to the door with her gun ready.Quickly muttering some commands into the radio phone, I readied my gun in preparation to retaliate, but the gunshots quieted down."They are probably reloading." I thought to myself, looking to take the opportunity to shoot back.But the moment I turned to shoot, my jaw dropped in surprise as I found two of the shooters lying dead on the ground and the third about to drink some mysterious green liquid."Noo!!" I yelled, charging towards him, but I was too late.He slumped to the ground, foams spouting from his mouth."Call an ambulance." I yelled to Melissa.But there was no point, the man went limp in a few seconds. No pulse, no breath, nothing at all.I ran back to the room where I had ti
Melissa briefed me on what was going on as we stormed out of the station with a lot of other police officers.Apparently, there had been another break-in at the museum and this time the thieves had no intentions of leaving without whatever they had come for, which they had yet to mention.What made it even worse was the fact that they had hostages, locked inside the museum with them.My heart banged against my ribcage at the thought of Theron being one of them, but we had yet to receive any information that could verify if that was the case or not.The officers who had arrived first had formed a barricade some feet away from the museum's entrance, keeping a watchful eye on the situation.Two of them hurried up to Melissa as soon as we arrived."Detective Andrews, we have confirmed that they have four hostages: two lecturers, one cleaner, and one security guard. The lecturers are from the department of sociology and anthropology." The female officer explained.My chest tightened as the
The door closed as I said those last words, so he didn't hear them. I stared at our barely touched meals on the table, feeling a little guilty that they would probably go to waste as I had completely lost my appetite.I spoke to a few other lecturers in the department, none of whom knew half of the things Cynthia had told me. It seemed there was some sort of preferential treatment in the department.Cynthia, Theron, and Paul were the only ones close enough to the chairman of the department to have any useful information. The ready only knew the dates the relics arrived and the days they were stolen.I waited for Melissa on a bench in front of the faculty building, hoping she had more luck than I did. Though, from the expression on her face, that didn't seem to be the case."So, easier said than done, I guess." I said as she collapsed onto the space next to me."Those heads of departments are a real pain to get a hold of, and even more of a pain to get information out of. I couldn't ev
Of course, he was the other lecturer who shared the office with Cynthia."Theron, hi." I greeted, not sure of what to say next."What brings you to my workplace? Did you come to check up on me?" He asked, eyes twinkling with excitement and mischief."Yeah, are you free for a bite?" I replied, going with it."Only if I'm paying." He smirked."Well then, lead the way." I chuckled lightly.I think giving tours and pointing out key details in the area had been ingrained in Theron's blood. I say this because, as he led me to one of the cafeterias within the school grounds, he pointed at random buildings, telling me their names, functions, and the activities that go on there.Apparently, there was this room meant for the celibacy club, but what went down in there was anything but celibate. How he even came to know this, I am not sure."Finally, we arrive at the staff canteen. The place where I get my average work meals to power through the day. Oh, you should come here this Friday, it's our
After talking for a few more minutes, we made our way into the school. With the help of our badges, it wasn't hard to get through their security, but we still had to transport ourselves to the Faculty of Social Sciences by ourselves.I kept wondering if we couldn't have just used our badge to get one of the in-campus buses to give us a free ride."That would be abuse of power." Melissa had stated when I eventually asked."Oh, I didn't think of it that way." I muttered, embarrassed by my negligence."Don't worry, it's a rookie mistake every detective makes. And sometimes, it's absolutely necessary. Just not in this situation." She assured me."Most don't feel guilty for doing it, and they may not even stop after finding out. You feeling bad shows you will make a fine detective." She smiled."Thanks." I nodded, not feeling so guilty anymore.After a few more minutes of discussion, we walked into the faculty building. Melissa was going to speak with all the departmental heads while I onl
