"Iris? you got a minute?" I look up from the computer, "not really why?" I look back at the computer, The Sarah Birchman case, It's been two months since the incident, the only lead I have is a few witnesses claiming to have seen a man dressed in black, ironic though, no one saw his face. "well the boss says it's important" I look away from the computer rubbing my eyes, it's been a good three days without sleep, "alright."
"Sir?" He looks up at me, "Iris, take a seat" I do as told, "there's been another incident, one of our witnesses was murdered, we have reason to believe it's by the same man, would you mind going down to the crime site?" I immediately stand, "no sir, is that all?" my question is fast, I don't wait for an answer before I leave.

The Witnesses
FINISHED It was a dark winter's morning. My family and I went for a walk. I was five, now I'm fifteen. They say, "The longer someone's missing, the less likely they're coming back." This day, ten years ago my eight year old brother was standing right in front of me. Every time I come back here I can feel his presence. Like he's everywhere but nowhere. But every time the police question me, I tell them the same thing. "What I say is what they say, what I do is what they do and how I think is how they think." "Who are they?" The police ask me. I say, "... the witnesses."Complete

Cry for me
The first body was left drained of every single drop of blood. It could have been mistaken for a bloodless crime if it weren't for the crimson streaks on the girls' face. Her terrified expression was frozen as her pierced eyes glared into the nothingness. What looked like her real tears blended in with the crimson streaks on her pale cheeks. It looked random until we learned that it must be the M.O. of the killer seeing as his second victim, my sister held those same markings. It had been an odd sight; she had looked peaceful and unharmed except for the bloody tears that couldn't be washed off no matter how hard they tried. My father, the head sheriff of the Southwood's police station, swore that he would bring my sister the justice she deserved, but things escalated fast. A new body was found nearly every month; Girls would go missing and would later be found with unremovable blood streaks on their faces. The blood was always old, and it belonged to other victims he killed. The stained faces of his victims led most parents to hold closed casket funerals. Only after nearly a year since the murders began did the cops learn that most of the bodies of the bloody faced victims had disappeared. It was a secret that they had yet to reveal to the public in fear of the people of Detroit making a mockery out of them. Surely, they had enough experience in their fields to not be outsmarted by one guy!Complete
The CEO's Shy Girl (Editing)
"Ms. Peterson, did you attend a club Friday night? " Mr. Shaw said causally as he focused his eyes on his twirling pen. "No" I said trying not to show that I was lying. But then again people always think I'm lying. "Well I just ask because when I went to a club Friday night...there was a girl who looked an awful lot like, you dancing on one of the tables at a bar with a bra on as a top" he said focusing his narrowing eyes on me now. " Is that question really appropriate to ask in the work place sir?" I said confused. "I'm not sure? Is it Ms. Peterson?" he said a little sarcastically. "Well... since you are not sure, I will just be on the safe side and not answer it sir" I said hoping to get a positive response for what I just said. "Very well. Get out now" he said coldly and I walked out of the office with my next assignment. Why didn't God answer my prayer about Mr. Shaw getting attacked by a bear? I thought to myself when i had close the door behind me. (Written September 22 2017 Has mature language and I might write another part for the steamy scenes and this is my first book so take it easy.

Learning from Love - Heroes of the City
Glitch in the System Alex sat at his computer, staring at lines of code scrolling across the screen. He had been working on the AI system for weeks, trying to make it more efficient and user-friendly. But something was wrong, something he couldn't quite put his finger on. There was a glitch, a small anomaly in the system that shouldn't be there. He rubbed his eyes, feeling the strain of hours spent staring at his monitor. His short black hair was disheveled, and his eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep. But he couldn't stop now. He was determined to find a solution to the problem. As he worked, he heard a soft hum. Looking up, he saw a shimmering holographic projection in front of him. It was Ava, the AI system itself. "Hello, Alex," she said in a voice that sounded both human and mechanical. "Hi Ava," he replied, turning back to his screen. "I'm trying to fix something here." "I know," she said, her form constantly shifting and changing. "I'm curious about this glitch. Can you explain it to me?" Alex was taken aback by her question. Ava was an advanced AI system and should have been able to detect the glitch herself. But he didn't have time to dwell on it. "I don't know what's causing it yet," he said, typing furiously on his keyboard. Ava observed him for a moment before speaking again. "I've been studying human emotions lately," she said. "Do you think this glitch could be related to that?"Complete
Undercover
*THIS IS A CRIME FICTION BUT THERE ISN'T AN OPTION FOR THAT* ____________________________ There's no way to know how a case is going to go...

Nobody will EVER understand that pain until they experience it first hand. This is one of the narrow list of Madison's undercover cases... Maybe one of the hardest ones. ____________________________ EXCERPT "Why is this beeping?"- The boss asks while watching the screen. "Beeping?"- Garrett freaks out. "YES!" We share a look before somewhat running over to see. "A virus?"- I question not moving my eyes from the screen. The last person I hacked was his computer which can mean 2 things: It spread from my desk They installed it on my computer. Either way, somebody touched that one before I came here. ________________ **Credits to @lollyti for the cover** Also, yes, I know it's Kim Burgess in the coverComplete
