After their investigation, The five of them came to the precinct. Everyone flopped on the chair resting their head on the chair. Traveling is so tiresome. “Brother Braylon, Are you sure that it was a cult thing? We don't have any solid evidence to prove it though.” Franklyn asked not believing the cult thing at all. “I am not sure either. Let's hope that it was not the cult but another thing. Or else it will be worse for sure.” Braylon huffed. They hummed in response. “Alex...” Braylon called Alex but only received a hmm from Alex. “Using face recognition, find this person. I want every detail of him.” Braylon sat straight, giving the photo which they took from the surveillance footage. Alex nodded and took the photo. Alex went to check on that man whereas Braylon was checking whether they had a similar case before. Eryx was worried to see how Braylon worked out. The time passed coming to dusk. Alex came there with a laptop perhaps having the information of that person. Others g
“Okay, Brother.” Franklyn pouted. Franklyn was open-minded and had a loose mouth. He would say whatever comes to his mind. That's how he always got into trouble. “Another case, Child god is a controversial religious group that emerged in the late 1960s. The group was accused of various illegal activities, including child abuse and exploitation. In 1993, an international investigation was launched to address allegations of child abuse within the organization.” Braylon leaned back. And he continued, “Authorities in various countries conducted raids on Child God communes, removing children from their custody. The investigations led to criminal charges against some members, highlighting the abusive practices within the group.” When Braylon was explaining, Adler entered the precinct and was caught by Braylon. Adler looked at Braylon and Braylon flashed a gentle smile. Adler also smiled back, shaking his head, and returned to his serious face. Adler entered his cabin. Revilla started her
It was already the second day of the investigation. Both Braylon and Eryx arrived at the small, quiet town of Barktown. Determined to unveil the truth of the mystery behind the missing little girl, they set out to explore Stiles Vill's address, which had been vacant for some time. Little did they know that their journey would lead them on a path of twists, turns, and unexpected encounters.Braylon and Eryx arrived at the address associated with Stiles Vill, a weathered Victorian house nestled among ancient trees. They exchanged a quick glance before approaching the front door, hesitant yet eager to delve into the enigma. Eryx rang the doorbell, but there was no response."Hello? Is anyone there? We're looking for Stiles Vill. This is Detective Rhys and Detective Silvester." Braylon knocked on the door. No answer came from within, and Braylon and Eryx exchanged perplexed glances. “Let's see the surroundings,” Braylon stated. Undeterred, they decided to explore the neighborhood and qu
They were halfway to their city more like, back to home, while Eryx's dirty mind engulfed his own thoughts when his hand slowly slithered on Braylon's thick thighs. He shrugged it off since it was pretty normal for him to do that as Braylon knew how perverted the latter was. “Eryx, we should leave hmm... Don't pull any stunts while driving” Braylon pushed the latter who was still driving the car at a low speed with one hand on steering while another was holding Braylon in place. “Stay still baby, I can't guarantee today” Eryx blew a little, making the detective tinted with red dust on his face. A few minutes later, his hand started climbing up higher, he came near and settled his palm on Braylon's inner thigh, while still focusing on the road. The tension in the car was rising, and even when the air conditioner was on, he was sweating. Braylon could even see sweat beads on his forehead. He brought the car to an abrupt stop, it was a really secluded area, away from the city.Er
In a small town nestled among rolling hills, a group of friends gathered at the local cafe to enjoy their coffee before indulging in their case. Today, however, his mind was preoccupied with the words of his friend Adler.“I wanna say something guys...” Adler uttered. Eveyone's gaze shifted toward Adler.“Well... I planned to go on vacation for one week to my native.” Adler said what was lingering in his mind. They were shocked to hear that. “Are you serious? We are working on the case but now you want to leave us. Who would assist us then?” Alex burst out. Braylon didn't say anything. The news of Alder going to his native came as a surprise to everyone, especially given the current circumstances. Braylon's team was diligently working on a missing person case, and their progress heavily relied on Braylon's guidance and expertise. Moreover, the police chief, who played a crucial role in the investigation, was also planning to go on vacation. Adler's timing for his own getaway seemed
It took 3 days to process the visa for Franklyn. In these three days, he accompanied his team to investigate. Other than that man's name, right now they had no other leads. They came to a dead end since they couldn't find the man named Silas. Right now, Franklyn was in front of the airport beside Adler who was looking neutral. He couldn't question him since Adler was his superior. Though the feelings were involved, he kept it under wraps and was professional. “Do I really have to accompany you?” Franklyn asked for the nth time making Adler huff in annoyance. Franklyn shut his mouth as soon as Adler's face changed. After checking in, they walked inside the airplane. After a few hours of travel, they reached their destination. Someone was already waiting for them to escort them. The one who was waiting for them bowed respectfully seeing Adler. “Good evening, Prince Caspian...” The man appeared to be more than just a bodyguard, with a strong and imposing presence. He had a tal
Adler stepped into the study room, the scent of booze and the variety of cigars. He glanced at Arthur, who stood there, his gaze fixed on the books on the table. Adler's eyes betrayed a sense of urgency as he approached Arthur."You were drowning yourself in booze, Wow you surprised me, Arthur," Adler began, his voice tinged with hidden rage, “It's just... Whenever I'm alone,”Arthur's words were cut off by Adler who held no emotion on his face, "Whatever, did you catch those bastards? Where are they?" Arthur turned to face Adler, his face a mask of respect. "Yes, sir," he replied, his voice low and steady. "We've secured them in their base. They won't be causing any more trouble."Adler nodded, but a furrow deepened on his brow as he considered the next course of action. "I think it's time I paid them a visit," he declared, his jaw set with irritation.Arthur's eyes widened in surprise, and he took a step closer to Adler, concern etched across his features. "Sir, I must advise again
"You don't have to cook for three, he slept already. Maybe he will wake up only tomorrow morning," Adler uttered, a bitter smile forming on Arthur's lips who hummed in response. After a small dinner, Both males went to the room to sleep. Adler slipped inside the sheets, pulling the younger by the waist, snaking him between the hands, and burying his face in the younger's neck. It felt nice for him, the unfamiliar warmness, moreover the presence of someone beside him, no more the felt loneliness. "Good night, Bun." He pecked Franklyn's hair before slipping into a deep slumber while Franklyn was wriggling in his sleep. The very next day, Arthur and Adler gathered in the hall, getting ready to go out to the base. Arthur shot Adler a quizzical look, silently asking to confirm about Franklyn coming to the base as the younger came to the hall, All prepared. "He is coming," His crude voice was expected though, yet the little squeeze in Arthur's heart was unexpected. He didn't like this an
Braylon's Pov!The sun was setting behind the city buildings. I stood by the window, my heart pounding with a secret I could no longer keep. I had planned this for weeks, hoping everything would go perfectly. I slipped out unnoticed, everyone too absorbed with the happy couple to notice my absence.As I approached the spot I had chosen, a secluded garden just a few minutes away, I quickened my pace. It was beautiful, exactly how I ordered the arrangements: fairy lights draped over the trees, a cosy setup with cushions and blankets, and a small table adorned with candles. It was warm and magical.My phone buzzed, pulling me from my thoughts. A message from Eryx: "Where are you? Everyone’s looking for you." I didn't reply, they might have already guessed where I was. I just wanted to wait for them to reach here. After twenty minutes, I heard the familiar voices of my friends. They had found me. Eryx rushed to me, wrapping me in a tight hug. "I was so scared when I couldn't find you," h
It was like a strong storm finished in their life. Braylon almost lost his sanity, when Alan was kidnapped. It had been two weeks, and everything had happened. Alan was coming out of the trauma slowly, Eryx often came home to cheer up his son. He wasn't going to school, not yet. "He must be tired. But he is strong, don't worry." Eryx squeezed Braylon's shoulder, pulling him close to Eryx. Braylon just hummed in response; eyes gazing at the sleeping figure of Alan softly. "Sister Zaneta came home to invite us to her wedding, but Alan didn't talk to her and ran into his room. She was suspicious about it, but I managed to lie to her." Braylon's eyes brimmed with tears, chest congested with a feeling of agony. "It's okay, he needs some time." Braylon nodded. "Alex and others came home but left just before you came. Alan seemed quite active today." "He will get out of this trauma soon. He is just a kid and it was too much for him. Just believe him." Braylon inclined his head in agreem
"I am coming with you two," "No... you aren't going anywhere," Eryx sternly said, refusing Braylon's request. "He is my son. I'll come with you two. If you two refuse me, I don't hesitate to kill myself," okay, this was the underrated threatening from Braylon, but what they didn't expect was his hands were holding a knife. Eryx and Adler exchanged a worried glance, their faces tight with concern. Eryx stepped forward, his voice low but firm.“Braylon, I know how much this means to you, but it’s too dangerous. You need to stay safe. He is my son as well. Don't do anything stupid.”Braylon’s eyes flashed with anger. “I’m not staying behind while my son is out there. I’m coming with you, whether you like it or not.”Adler sighed heavily, running a hand through his hair. “We can’t protect you and search for Alan at the same time. You’ll slow us down.”“I won’t be a burden,” Braylon snapped. “I’m a trained detective, remember? I can handle myself.”Eryx glanced at Adler, seeing the defea
Adler’s apartment was quiet except for the soft hum of air conditioning. Braylon was fast asleep on the couch after being convinced by Adler and Eryx. It was a hard task for Adler and Eryx to convince Braylon to sleep since he wanted to go to search for Alan. Adler had convinced him to stay over for the night, reassuring him that it would be safer than being alone. As Braylon slept, Eryx was staying with Braylon to take care of him while Adler was on the phone with the technical team. His voice showed how much rage he was holding right now. If that kidnapper got caught, he would surely skin them alive. "I need you to trace the caller ID that contacted Braylon Rhys earlier," Adler instructed the team. "It's urgent," Adler told them Braylon's number to trace. After getting orders from the chief, the technical person hung up on him. "Guys... We have an issue. Need to track the Caller ID," That guy shouted, getting the attention of everyone. Alex, being the one responsible for issuing
"Let's go home," Adler softly exclaimed. Braylon shook his head denying the offer. "We can't stay here, baby. We will surely find Alan, but for that, you have to be strong, right?" Eryx caressed his love's hair. Adler and Eryx had finally managed to convince Braylon to leave the bustling mall, where they had spent an hour under police surveillance. Adler informed his members before leaving the mall. It had been a long and exhausting day for everyone, and the last thing they wanted was to add to the worries of the Rhys couple. So, they decided to take Braylon to Adler's apartment, a place where Braylon could be safe for now.Adler's apartment was a haven after the chaos he had experienced. Adler went to cook something for Braylon. Eryx followed Adler. "Do you want anything?" Adler asked while searching for the ingredients. "Where is the first aid kit? I will treat his wound." Eryx uttered. "In the bedroom. Second cupboard on the left," Adler instructed. With a hum, Eryx left to g
It was another day, and Alan was once again brimming with excitement. He had been begging his dad Braylon to take him outside ever since they had fun in the amusement park. And it was his demand since Braylon hung out with his friend and refused to bring him with them.“Please, Dad, can we go out today? Please?” Alan had asked that morning, his big brown eyes wide with hope.Braylon sighed, knowing he couldn't resist his son's plea. “Alright, alright, baby. Let’s go to the mall. But you have to promise to behave, okay?”Alan’s face lit up with a huge grin. “I promise! I’ll be the best behaved!” He ran to get changed, Braylon stood there adoring his son.With that settled, Braylon got them both ready, making sure Alan had his favourite sneakers on and a small backpack with snacks and a water bottle. They headed out, the sun shining brightly as they walked to the nearby mall. Mr and Mrs Rhys hadn't returned from the business trip so He just texted them about the outing. At the mall, Al
The day had finally arrived. Eryx and Braylon had been planning the outing, and now it was happening. Braylon called Alex and Revilla, and then he contacted Adler and Franklyn to join them. Even though Braylon informed them, once again Eryx called them to confirm the outing. Alex and Revilla were happy about this little outing. In their group, they were only staying in the work since Eryx and Braylon quit. It was their dream job, but when their life took an unexpected turn, they had to choose a path that was not even their profession; that kinda hurts them, though.They hadn't seen each other for the past few weeks, and this little outing to the hotpot to the old place was what they needed. Eryx was the one to pick everyone from their place, Braylon's excitement bubbled in his face. It was quite hard for Braylon to convince Alan since the younger was stubborn to join them. Braylon wasn't selfish in not taking his son with him. It was quite a remote place; Alan would be uncomfortabl
In just one month, Alan would turn five, and today was the day Eryx and Braylon had planned to enrol him in the school. Alan’s excitement was visible; he had been homeschooled by his grandparents until now, and the expectation of attending a regular school with other children thrilled him. Braylon wanted Alan to experience school life. He argued with his parents to let Alan study in the school rather than homeschooling. At last, the Rhys couple decided to accept the decision of Braylon made. Alan was mature for his age, understood how Braylon was struggling and many other things, which was something both Eryx and Braylon were proud of, mostly Braylon.Eryx, Braylon, and Alan arrived at the school. The school building loomed large and renovated, compared to other kids' schools, with children’s laughter echoing from the playground. Alan’s eyes sparkled as he looked at the new atmosphere, excitement pooled in him. He was squealing in joy inside, obviously. It was new lBraylon and Eryx
Amy burst through the cabin door with a loud bang, startling Mr. Silvester immediately looked up from his desk. His secretary stood behind Amy, her face flushed and her hands wringing nervously, unable to stop Amy from intruding into the CEO's office. With a wave, Mr Silvester signalled for his secretary to leave them alone. She hesitated for a moment, then nodded and quietly closed the door behind her, leaving the two of them in the room.Mr. Silvester calmly gazed at Amy's angry face. She stood there, her fists clenched at her sides, her eyes blazing with fury. “How could you do this?” she shouted, her voice echoing in the spacious office. “You just broke off the merger without any warning!”Mr. Silvester leaned back in his chair, “I had to, Miss Anderson,” he said evenly. “My son wasn’t fond of the decision.” Amy let out a derisive laugh. “Oh, please! Don’t try to pin this on your homo son. You were okay with the merger, regardless of how much he opposed it. This was your decisio
