Evil never wins, when there's a "genius" cop on the case!
  
A golden-haired movie producer's wife has been killed in Los Angeles, California and Lieutenant Brock Cinder is on the case.  A cop's cop, Brock's a lone wolf and the envy of all in his department.

But the tough cop with flair has been wounded by a life event.  Will such baggage--that burdens his heart to this day--help him to solve this crime, or--together with what he sees at this roadkill--encourage him to quit the force  and turn his back on catching killers?


(*Fun fact: Rather than use the traditional "Chapter 1, Chapter 2, etc., headers--for each "cliffhanger break" in the following story--I chose, instead, to go with more "nostalgic" headers [i.e., "Tonight's Episode, Act I, Act II," etc., and "Epilogue"], since that style had been a similar case in classic Quinn Martin Productions like the following three television cop/crime series: "The Streets of San Francisco" [ https://youtu.be/SLec8xEG8xE ], "Barnaby Jones" [ https://youtu.be/bkx2jWGZVJU ], and "Cannon" [ https://youtu.be/eIfdD191II4 ].  I've always loved that "Tonight's Episode..." TV format style opening, as well as the "Act Number" appearing on the screen, regarding each of the later main intro scenes, for such TV mystery shows.)

Meet Kyle and Kate, two 15 year old students who have a gift for thinking fast, quick, and smart. Oh, and meet the other 18 kids in their class. Some call them genius, some call them annoying. PART 1 The year starts off bad enough, that is, with earthquakes and snowstorms. And finally, when things starts to clear up, the first murder occurs. Right in front of their eyes. It seemed obvious who did it, but as the murderer wrote her confession, a completely different murder occurs across town. Shocked, the police rush over to gather the evidence and clues, but before they even assemble their evidence, the police are led to another death. One by one, deaths occur around town, faster than the police can count. There's not much in common with all of the murders, only the fact that all of the victims come from one class. In the course on one year, the class of 18 shrinks drastically. PART 2 As summer vacation begins, the remains of the class split. Five students tell their stories of meeting new people, near death experiences, and funny incidences. PART 3 More than what meets the eye happened in the course of the summer. The class comes back to a new year, utterly shocked to find that 4 new students have joined their class. Everything starts out alright, but people are getting frantic. The government sent in spies to watch the class for suspicious behavior, two of them students themselves. Two other students are hired to try to figure things out on their own. What nobody realizes however, is what's important. As the year goes on, some of the students realize: -A secret passageway may not be limited to only the house. -The school has a basement -Falling down a flight of stairs can save lives A supposedly dead student wakes up from a coma, people start realizing things, all leading to the final, seemingly unimportant clue, that closed the gap from arresting the wrong person, to finding the real murderer.

27 parts Complete Mature
Rob Beeton spends his days sitting behind a desk investigating patterns of household waste disposal in Hertfordshire. In the evenings he balances arguing with his wife with making silly voices for his infant son's cuddly toys. By night he sleeps alone in the spare room next to the wardrobe with the broken hinges while he wonders if the garage door will ever actually fix itself. Meanwhile, Lisa Curly works in a library in the most deserted fishing town in Scotland. The man she shares her life with spends more time on his boat than with her and the last time he touched her, the internet was still using dial-up connection. A few houses down the street her mother is dying of something that is most likely cancer, but the old girl refuses to get it diagnosed. Rob and Lisa lost contact after leaving secondary school at sixteen, but, courtesy of the internet, found each other again and, more importantly, have been able to locate online those eight pupils who tormented them the most during their younger years. With five dead and only three to go, Rob and Lisa's murderous revenge is nearly coming to an end. However, when the improbably-named Detective Peter Piccolo moves into the house next to Rob, something definitely appears amiss. Is this the most surreal police sting ever contrived, or is it just an enormous coincidence for Rob and Lisa? Is Piccolo trying to be their friend, carry out some sort of undercover surveillance, or is he just an even bigger monster than the two of them combined? Either way, the brooding copper is a massive spanner in their works and something will have to be done if Rob and Lisa are going to literally lay the pasts to rest and move on with their lives.

Saving Scarlett- 18+ (PREVIEW) by luluwaters27
4 parts Complete Mature
18+Explicit sexual scenes. Very graphic scenes of murder, rape, and drug use. Read at your own discretion. Scarlett Daniels grew up in the system after her parents died from a drug overdose when she was ten years old. Once she turned 18 years old, she ran from the state as fast as she could and started living her own life. Except it wasn't a grand life as she had once dreamed of. Her life now consisted of dancing on poles, answering to a man who tried to own her and living with a best friend who ends up murdered in their apartment. Duke Harvey had a decent childhood; his parents were loaded and he had everything he ever wanted. Until he attended college and the only woman he thought he could trust stabbed him in the back and showed up after several weeks of silence, in a body bag. His entire picture on life changed then and he put his rich-boy shoes away and became a homicide detective. He wanted bad men like the one that hurt his only love to pay for their sins. When Scarlett and Duke meet for the first time, sparks fly and clothes come off. And one chance meeting turns into another until her friend ends up murdered and Duke becomes the lead detective. Now Duke must protect Scarlett from the bad guy while protecting her from himself at the same time. But an insatiable lust blossom's between the two that neither expected to happen. Not only does Duke want to save Scarlett from a wicked and toxic life, but he secretly wants to save himself in the process. Love wasn't a word he used in his vocabulary but something about this woman makes him second guess everything he's believed about love until this point. But one question sticks out in his mind over everything else: is he even capable of love?

The day they voted no bill, the day Andy's nightmares where just beginning. Laurie was about to discharged from the hospital. She didn't want to leave, she begged to stay, to be close to Jacob. Still in his coma for 9 weeks now. Jacob finally opens his eyes. The lights of hospital room felt like they where burning right through his soul. His dad was holding his hand, with tears. Andy said "hey buddy we both here, your ok, your safe now." Jacob started shaking his head back and forth no, as he tried to speak, but no words could escape his mouth. He looked over to his mom scared, but than went back to sleep. Jacob stay that way for the next 3 days going in and out of consciousness.
