The harsh sound of the phone pierced through her haze, slowly coaxing her back to reality.With a soft sigh of exasperation, Mia reluctantly emerged from the warmth of her comforter, stretching out her arm to retrieve her phone.

With a sense of urgency propelling him, he quickly threw off the covers, the fabric sliding off his body and pooling at the foot of his bed. He swung his legs over the side and planted his feet on the cool floor, feeling the refreshing chill that contrasted sharply with the warmth. His mind was already racing ahead, thoughts swirling like a tempest. He needed to pack some of his necessities—his phone, his wallet, and a change of clothes—all of which he hurriedly stuffed into a small traveling box. “What could be going wrong with the project? I thought we already reviewed it all over again”, The questions gnawed at him, each one more urgent than the last. With his bag finally in hand, Harrison made his way downstairs, his heart pounding in rhythm with his gentle footsteps. As he reached the bottom of the staircase, he stepped into the dining area where his family was still gathered around the table. His mother, father, and sister were seated, engaged in their morning routine. They lo

He did not have a proper sleep throughout the night. He also had weird dreams which made it even uncomfortable for him.This morning, his mother had ordered one of the servant to have his breakfast served in his room. Since making an appearance this morning downstairs would be more stress than he needed. She gently insisted that breakfast be served in his room so he could gather himself without the chaos of family chatter and the demands of his busy life. Her order was carried out by the servant, as she makes her way into Harrison's room. The soft knock on the door broke the his quiet rest, since he gave up his sleep due to his nightmare.“Come in,” he called softly, his voice barely a whisper, still thick with fatigue.The door opens slowly, and the servant steps inside, a bright smile on her face. She carried a tray laden wi

******Doctor Peterson approached Aunt Mei, who sat beside her niece's hospital bed, her eyes fixed on Ling's serene face. "Ma'am, I think it's time for you to head home and get some rest. You can revisit Ling tomorrow, and we'll take good care of her in the meantime," he said with a reassuring smile.Ling, who had been quietly observing the conversation, stirred and spoke in a weak but clear voice, "Aunt Mei, I've been telling you the same thing. You need to go home and take care of yourself. The doctors and nurses will take care of me."Aunt Mei's expression softens, and she looked at Ling with a mixture of guilt and concern. "But, dear, I want to be here for you," she said, her voice trembling.Doctor Peterson intervened, his tone firm but gentle. "Aunt Mei, it's our duty to care for Ling, and we'll do everything necessary to ensure her recovery. You need to trust us and take care of yourself. Ling will be in good hands."Aunt Mei nods reluctantly, knowing that the doctor was right

*****Officer Martinez! You can't use force during an interrogation. Let go off him!”, chief Peterson commands, his voice echoing off the walls of the interrogation room. Martinez, still brimming with anger, reluctantly releases Marco, feeling the anger surge through him as he turns away from the table. The gravity of the situation weighs heavily on him; Detective Ling, a respected and well-liked member of their precinct, had endured unimaginable violence. The thought that someone could plan to dismiss her life without permission….."And you," Chief Peterson continues, his voice steady but stern, “Don't think you can easily evade the consequences of your actions. Even if you choose not to disclose Vinnie's whereabouts, rest assured, we have the means to find him.“With his hands stuffed deep in his pockets, Peterson maintains a calm demeanor, attempting to intimidate Marco into revealing the truth. Martinez, however, is barely holding back his rage. “You think that's a valid excuse

*****Martinez adjusted his seat to ease his uncomfortability. His eyes became fixed at the chief's eyes.“Chief,” he replies, his tone measured, “it’s best if Leo doesn’t find out. His reaction might not help the case.” Chief Peterson became a little shocked considering Martinez’s words carefully. Leo was a good officer, but he was also passionate—sometimes too passionate for his own good. The chief had seen Leo’s anger flare when it came to criminals related crimes; it could easily cloud his judgment. “And you think he would go off the rails if he found out?” Peterson asked, curiosity piqued. “Not off the rails, exactly,” Martinez said, his voice dropping slightly as if sharing a secret. “But Leo has a history with Vinnie’s gang. It was his first case and up till ow, he is not able to catch them. More importantly, they hurt people he cares about. If he finds out we have one of them in custody, he might try to confront him directly. That could jeopardize the investigation.” Pet

****“ Ahhh, Ling's aunty is one tough woman. I haven't seen this side of her before”, Martinez said , stretching the stiffness off his body.After exiting Ling's room, the four of them made their way into the parking lot where Martinez car is being parked. “I parked over here,” he said, taking the lead and gesturing towards the silver sedan nestled among the rows of vehicles.“You’re still the same guy who thinks he can park in the front row because you’re an officer, huh?” joked Leo prompting a laughter that lightens the mood as they followed Martinez.Once in the car, Martinez exchanges glances with Leo. Leo on the other hand, runs his hand through his hair but suddenly catches his glance and quickly removes his eyes, knowing what will come next.Settled in the car, Martinez turns the key in the ignition, and the engine starts , punctuating the silence that had settled in after their banter.
