Zara is already in the position, faithfully energizing Nexuz who needs its glow. The scorching heat of Zara in Westmorth which is hot in summer, its light penetrates the spaces in each building. This small apartment was no exception, which was inhabited by a young man whose extreme exhaustion made him ignore the Zara glare that dazzled his eyes through the sliding window on the right side of the dark painted room.
Lex just turned his body over and covered his head with a pillow so that he wouldn't be exposed to Zara's rays that passed through the small gap that opened in the window curtain and then he continued sleeping again.
His body was still tired, his stomach was still sick. Fuck people, he'll still sleep right there in his room.

The Vellas City Police Department is busy this morning, dealing with a strange case, 3 bodies of murder victims have been found, there is no clue they can hold on to. They hit a dead end.
What they managed to get was the information that the perpetrator of this murder was most likely a man, in terms of the shape and angle of the wound, as well as the effect of the impact or the resulting wound, after being calculated and accumulating every impact or injury resulted from a large force effect, and there's no way a woman can do it.
The profiles of the perpetrators began to be compiled but never found any bright spots, none of the victims' relatives or friends had ever seen who was the last man with them.
The call records from the victims' cellphones are also nil, and now they are trying to trace the locations that have been visited by the victims through the GPS history of their cellphones.
The media began to take the spotlight, the VCPD bosses and the government put pressure on every unit that was responsible for solving the case, especially Unit-8 under Mel because they were the main unit in charge. Mel had to move fast before more victims were falling.
Her head was dizzy due to lack of sleep and too much caffeine in her body. She walked unsteadily to the forensic laboratory to review all the evidence that had been gathered. Her team is in the field looking for all the possibilities regarding the victims.
"Are you crazy ?! You lied to Connor ?! Aah ... I can't say anything. If she finds out, I don't want to imagine what will happen to you, Rachel."
Zee's voice squealed to his division mates could be heard by Mel's who just entered, they were talking while doing something there and turned their backs to Mel, of course, they didn't realize that Mel heard it.
"I was so scared, suddenly the excuse came out of my mouth without realizing it. Nicolas bastard! Because of him, I have to deal with problems, it is not enough for him to cheat behind my back and now he makes me have to lie. Damn it!" Rachel's said, who just broke up and blamed all on her ex.
"Hey! You idiot, why did you spill over the excuse to Connor, you should just apologize for your carelessness, and also don't blame your foolishness on other people. Scmith, you're just as crazy as Nic, you think I don't know you brought a man from the club last week? "
Zee said harshly to his partner, she knew very well how Mel hates people who like to hide facts. Plus Rachel was betrayed by her boyfriend because she was the same jerk.
"Haaaah ... I still love Nic Zee, you know that I was drunk, I don't even remember anything the next morning. And I hope the captain doesn't know about me lying to her about my mother was sick, stupid mouth ... stupid mouth." Rachel regrets as she patted her mouth repeatedly as if to blame her mouth for what she said.
"Tsk ... your mouth is not wrong, your mouth and tongue are just a means of articulating something your brain wants to convey," Zee replied with logical science, it's understandable because they are people who are always struggling with data and the validity of things according to logic and rationality. Identifying all things through a science lens.
Mel was still frozen behind them, without a sound. Her brain began to think crazy, she remembered Lex's words last night, about Rachel telling an untruth and his guess happened to be very accurate, it made Mel start to believe Lex's words a little, either because she was stressed or because she was already consumed by what he said.
If only things weren't like this, if only she had never heard Lex said about Rachel's lies, and it just so happens that she knows this matter accidentally as it is currently happening, she would have been angry with Rachel and ended up moving her to another unit. Never work with Mel, if you ever lied to her especially when working on cases.
But this time she was too tired to express her anger, her brain only focused on the case and her wits spontaneously brushed aside the matter of her subordinate.
A crazy idea popped into Mel's head, she hurriedly turned around and went out to the basement where her car was parked. Zee and Rachel noticed Mel's presence after she walked quickly out of the Lab, successfully making them wonder if Mel had heard their conversation all along.
And the answer is yup girls! She heard!
Mel drove her car swiftly across a busy highway, heading for a place she never imagined would come there.

A dark-haired woman in a warm tone suit was standing in the doorway of a shabby apartment, her eyes staring gloomily at a door with the number 409 written on it. She took a breath and then exhaled slowly.
"What am I doing? I'm absolutely crazy," she muttered to herself.
She doubted, her common sense was still fighting with her instincts, her mind said this was a wasted job, it didn't make sense but her instincts said something else, somehow she felt there was nothing's wrong to try.
Knock knock knock
Finally, she decided to keep knocking on the door, calling the owner of the house behind there to immediately meet her. But no answer.
Knock knock knock
She repeated knocking. Nothing was heard either. Did he run away? She thought.
Knock knock knock
She knocked louder, it more like she was banging. If it continues it looks like the door will burst in 5 minutes.
Lex was annoyed by the banging on the door of his apartment, he is so pissed off! Why didn't that person just leave when Lex hadn't opened the door for quite a while. The banging is still heard and it seemed even louder.
"Shit! Who the hell is this! My door will break, you crazy!" He got out of bed, his eyes still sleepy and his hair matted, he walked up to the door of the apartment.
Creak ... the door opened. The banger stopped her action.
"You? This fast? What else?" he said irritably at the guest who stood at his door, covering his mouth and nose with the arms that he crossed in front of his face. Blocking the scent of such emotion from outside that was quickly trying to tickle his nose.
"I want to ask for your help, Mr. Vernon," Said the guest with confidence.
