The Ex He Never Expected to See
“So, where to? Do you want to hang out at my place while my team and I get to the bottom of this, or should I just take you home?” Cassie asked after they had settled into the car.“Ummm, nope. I want to get a new car,” Jay replied.“Oh, really?” Cassie blurted out, throwing him a curious glance.“Yeah. I can’t drive my car because it’s a wreck now, so I’m going to need a new one if I want to move around freely,” Jay explained, leaning back in his seat.“Okay, man,” Cassie replied before adding, “And just so you know, you’re going to be paying me extra.”Jay slowly turned to stare at him, a frown spreading across his face.“Pay you extra? For what?” he asked, genuinely confused.“What do you mean, for what?” Cassie shot back. “Our agreement was for me to investigate this dude who apparently stole your chick.”He paused briefly, as though giving Jay a moment to appreciate the logic behind his argument, before continuing.“So, now I’m digging into Officer Mark’s disappearance, which is
A Promise to Bring Mark Home
“Boss Manarc...”Hearing the familiar name sent Jay's memories racing back until he finally recalled where he had heard it before. His expression shifted as he slowly lifted his gaze toward Cassie, a puzzled look settling on his face.“What's the matter, Jay? Do you know who they are?” Cassie asked the moment he noticed Jay's reaction to the names.“Um... I don't know anyone called Officer 212, but I think I've heard the name Manarc before,” Jay replied, still trying to piece the memory together.“From where?” Cassie asked immediately.“From Big Boy!” Jay exclaimed. “You see, a few days ago, some thugs from my old neighborhood messed with my car and tried to extort money from me by force. But after their arrest, Officer Mark invited me to the station to identify the suspects and press charges against them.”He paused to take a deep breath before continuing, his mind drifting back to the unpleasant encounter.“When I confronted Big Boy, who was leading the thugs, he got aggressive and
The Name That Shocked Jay
“How long do we have to sit in here and wait, Big Boy? I'm already getting carsick,” Rocky complained from the driver's seat.“As long as it takes!” Big Boy snapped in frustration.“What do you mean, as long as it takes? We've been sitting in this car waiting for him to come out since three in the morning! I'm starving alrea—”Before Rocky could finish, Big Boy instinctively grabbed him by the shirt, his fingers tightening around the fabric as he turned toward him with a furious glare.“Look, man, you'd better pull yourself together and do exactly what Boss Manarc ordered us to do. Got it?”“Alright, alright! Chill, man... Let go of me!” Rocky protested, raising both hands in a gesture of surrender.Big Boy glared at him for another few seconds before finally releasing his shirt.“Jeez, man...” Rocky muttered, straightening his clothes. “You're taking this whole thing a little too personally.”“Of course I am!” Big Boy barked. “And if you were in my shoes, you would, too. That bastard
Undercover in Rags
“That’s a good idea. When should we go?” Jay asked, agreeing with the suggestion.“Right now!” Cassie replied casually.“What? Now!?” Jay blurted out in shock.Although he had agreed with Cassie’s suggestion, he hadn’t expected them to leave immediately. He had barely woken up, and after everything that had happened the previous night, he could have used a little more time to gather his thoughts before heading out.“Judging from what you've told me, Officer Mark doesn't have much time left, so I suggest we move as quickly as possible,” Cassie remarked, his tone surprisingly serious.Jay paused for a moment before letting out a resigned sigh.“Alright. Just let me change into something else,” he agreed, rising from the couch.As Jay headed toward his bedroom, Cassie stretched out across the couch, spreading his arms and legs before tilting his head backward against the cushions. He looked as though he had absolutely no intention of moving anytime soon.“Ahhh...” he groaned contentedly,
A Terrible Meal and a Shocking Discovery
Jay lay sprawled across his couch, fast asleep from the exhaustion of spending hours worrying about his situation. The previous night, he had contacted Cassie by phone and explained everything that had happened to him with the last few hours, recounting the events in detail, from his encounter with the suspicious police officer at the gas station to the threatening call from the stranger who had taken Officer Mark hostage.“Ring, ring, ring, ring…”The persistent sound of his ringing phone abruptly dragged him out of his sleep.Jay stirred, his eyebrows furrowing as the noise continued, accompanied by the vibrations against his chest. Still half-asleep, he slowly opened his eyes and rubbed them with the backs of his wrists before reaching for the phone resting on him.He glanced at the screen and noticed that the call was coming from the estate's security gate—the same number that had contacted him the previous day.With a tired sigh, he answered the call and brought the phone to his
Vanessa’s Birthday Promise
Jay rubbed his face with one hand as his thoughts spiraled out of control.“Who the hell have I gotten myself involved with?” he muttered, staring blankly at the floor.Then, a troubling thought suddenly crossed his mind.“Wait... What if that corrupt police officer who followed me home is somehow connected to all this?”His expression grew increasingly troubled as he tried to piece everything together. The suspicious officer at the estate gate, the stranger who had threatened him over the phone, and Officer Mark's desperate cries for help—could all of these things be connected?The more he thought about it, the more questions surfaced, each one leading him deeper into a maze of uncertainty.In all his life, despite enduring countless hardships, Jay had never felt this tense or helpless before. What did I do to this people?Before Jay could think any further, his phone suddenly vibrated in his hand, drawing his attention to a new notification.It was the location the stranger had pro
