I'm so fucking tired with these cases. This is the first time I'm handling cases without even a single lead.

"One more please." I told Max who was the bartender and also the owner of this bar.

"Here you go James." He said as he handed me another glass of tequila. "You look so stressed man, what's gotten into you?" Even him noticed that I'm freaking stressed out right now.

"The cases I got in my hands are giving me headache every second of the day Max. I need to find a lead for me to start hitting on these." I said as I drinked the tequila.

"Have you tried going to the crime scenes?" He asked.

"Yes, I've been to the cabin twice and thrice on that fucking alley." I answered.

"Why don't you go back to the cabin and alley again James? I mean, maybe you're just too occupied when you went there that's why you can't focus on finding a lead. Try going back again with a clear mind."

"You know what, you're right. These past few days, I've been very occupied and sensitive making me lose my focus. Thanks for the advice man, I'm gonna give it a shot."

"No worries man." After a couple of shots, I then decided to go home so that I can rest well because I'll be heading back to the scenes and hopefully I'll be able to find a lead on these cases.

"Alright class, these are your new classmates and I want you to treat them like family. Okay?" I said as I showed them the five students that the Dean wanted me to handle.

"Yes Sir." They responded.

"Go ahead and introduce yourselves guys."

"Hey. I'm Halo Lavine, nice to meet you all."

"Name's Ice Murray."

"I'm Luke Clifford." Ice and Luke have some bad records here at the academy.

"Red Blizz here." Red is a girl and I'm still not sure why she should be here. She looks pretty innocent to me.

"And I'm Alexander Cleevan III, hope we'll all be good friends." He said with a wide smile on his face. I think this one's good at socializing.

"Okay, thank you guys. You may now go to your respective seats that I prepared at the back." They all just looked at me then they proceeded to their seats after. I then turned my back and started writing on the white board.

"Hey there pretty girl."

"The fuck?"

I was startled when I suddenly heard a loud crash behind me and when I turned around, I saw one of the tables broken into pieces and one of my students lying unconscious on the floor with blood on his nose.

"Who did this?!" I asked furiously.

"Me." I looked at Red Blizz who's standing on my left.

"And why did you do such thing?" I asked again.

"He grabbed my ass. Is that enough reason for you?" I was about to answer when Halo suddenly appeared beside Red.

"Enough Red. We don't want anymore troubles, okay?" Red just nod then Halo looked at me. "I apologize Mr. Summer, I promise it won't happen again." He said calmly.
