JACE'S P.O.V.
It was the last day that was given to us to find something that could help us but, we haven't found anything. The search team searched up to five miles but, they also couldn't find anything. Alex didn't want them to suffer so, he told them to stop. If Mel and I along either the guys with us aren't able to find anything either, this would all be for nothing and to make matters seem more disappointing, we had only sixteen more minutes.
"Anything?" I asked the leader of the search team that was with us
"No, sir. We still haven't found anything" he replied
"How many more minutes do we have?" Mel asked as she was approaching
I checked my watch
"Right now, twelve more minutes but, let's just say ten more minutes" I told her
"What are the chances of finding anything now?
"No idea. Anything is possible"
"Okay then, you and your guys should check over for the last time. Jace and I will check over there" she told him and with a slight bow, he left
"What do you think is the chance of us finding anything?" I asked her
"I don't think there is a chance but, I'm just going to take your word that anything is possible? she answered going over to where we were going to search
"Take my word, eh? Sound nice"
"Sure, and I'm 100 percent sure that I'm wasting my time and sanity here"
"We will see about that"
"What was that thing that you said? Can you please repeat it? I think it was about you being sure that you were wasting your time and sanity over believing my words or something? Can you please say it again? I edged over to Mel and asked her
"Get away, please" she rolled her eyes
"I think I'm the only one allowed to be all sassy right now. Don't you think?"
She glared at me while I just showed her the grin she hated with the wink then leaned back on my seat
"Good job, you guys. Especially you, Jace" Alex said
"Yeah, bro" Jade added while we fist- bombed and I was sure that Mel's fire just increased and just to infuriated her the more
"I know, after all, I'm a Greek God" I said. She looked at me and then regretted her mistake, looking away with disgust when I wink at her, again. I was so acing this.
"When will the results come out?" Alex asked Olive
"It's already late, so I think we all should just go home for now" she replied
We found something that rose our hopes high
After Mel said she was sure that she was that she was wasting her things, not long after that, we, or maybe, I found something that could be the weapon. I was neither Olive nor Ken but, with the pictures that we were shown, the knife seemed like it could be the weapon. There were also dried blood on it which was also a good possibility. When we came back, we immediately gave it to Olive; it would be disastrous if something happened to the only clue we have even with the bag it was put in
"So, we just have to wait and believe that it will have the victim's DNA on it?" Sky asked
"Even without waiting, I think it's pretty much obvious. It looks like, no, it's probably the same weapon" Ken said
"When will you analyze it?" Jade asked Ken
"We should be able to analyze it today, right?" he asked Olive
"Yeah" she replied
"But, I agree will Olive to just go home today. I have a feeling we might not get to go home if we all wait for it to be analyze" Ken said
"Well then, I guess it's good night" Alex said and we all left
Unfortunately, I couldn't get to tease Mel any further, although, I was quit happy; she might have made me more than crippled and end in the police station if I made her any more angry than she already is

It came again, the attacker, the loud grunts, the pains, and the eyes, hopeless and painful eyes, the explosives.....
I sat up with a start and brushed my hair backward, breathing heavily. With anticipation to get to work, I didn't have the time to worry about the dream, so, I just got ready for work.
"9:56. Good job, Jace" I told myself that as I packed my car in the parking lot
"Good morning, you beautiful chihuahua " I greeted Mel as we were on our way to the conference room
She stopped then turned to look at me
"Chihuahua? Were you just calling me a chihuahua or did I just hear wrong?" she asked me
"Nah, you heard perfectly well, I called you a chihuahua" I replied to her question with normalcy
She faked chuckle
"What?" she asked
"Chihuahuas are known for their loving and perfect personality but, some people also know them for their feisty personality which is not known to the public"
"Oh, so in this case, people known me for my loving and perfect personality but, you, who knows me well, know about my other personality that people don't know about?"
I snapped my fingers
"Got it but, not to worry, I find that extremely adorable: that's one reason why I love chihuahuas"
"I see"
She started laughing and since I didn't want to look abnormal standing there doing nothing, I joined her. The way she suddenly turned serious made me stop in the tracks abruptly
"Do you want to die?" she asked
To annoy her more, I was so enjoying this, I placed my hand over her shoulders and edged near her ear
"Mel, nobody wants to die. Even those who commit suicide don't really want to die, they actually just want someone to tell them and assure them of a reason to live"
She gave me a hard warning glare and I decided to take that one
"See you in the conference room. Bye" I told her and took off
"Good morning, everyone"
It was just remaining Mel for us to start off for today
"You look happy" Sky acknowledged
"Well, let's just say I saw a beautiful chihuahua and she managed to make my morning bright"
"I see" she said but I could see the weird look on her face along with the confused look on the rest's faces
Few second later, Mel arrived and although she could have easily sat beside me, she went round to sit near Sky
"And you look, not so bright" Jade said
"Unfortunately, I just had to encounter a sick psycho this early morning and that ruined my neutral day" she said making me smile
"Why do I have a feeling that the two of you are referring to yourselves?" Alex asked
"They probably are" Ken replied and I smiled again while Mel received a supporting touch from Olive before she, Olive, got up
"We have the results for the weapon" she started and that earned all of our attention
"The blood's DNA..."
"Yess" Jade interrupted while doing a silent, yet audible, drum roll
We all edged closer
"Matched the victim's" she completed with a smile
As soon as she said that, we all relaxed
"I knew it" Alex said while hitting the table
"Nice one, bro" Jade complimented me while giving me a fist bump
"Thank goodness" Sky said
Mel had a smile on her face while I just felt relieved. Ken was aware of it, so he just smiled too
"The blood matched the victim but, that was the only thing that was found on the knife" Olive said
"There was no other DNA or prints" Ken backed her up
"Well, that was expected" Alex said
"But at least, we got something. Thankfully" Sky said
"Did you also check the knife?" Mel asked
"Yes, we did but, that seemed to be the only type of knife. We could even find any similar type of knife" Ken answered
"Which means that it's ..." Mel started
"Custom made" I completed for her
"Exactly" Olive said
"So now, we know that our person is either a blacksmith or he has an accomplice" Alex confirmed
"So, this means we have something to use, right?" Jade asked
"Yeah, and hopefully, it helps us well" ken answered
"And fast" I added
