《Call Of Death》Chapter 36 : Strange Heartbeat
Advertisement
Officer Chad couldn't take his eyes off of Detective Cameron Lee. He's still curious about his partner's nightmares because he really seemed bothered after waking up from those nightmares. Devius wanted to ask but he is aware that it wasn't his business. He also doesn't want to make it hard for Detective Lee.
"Keep staring at me and I'll pull your eyes out." Devius quickly shifted his eyes to other direction when Detective Lee spoke.
"Who's staring at you? No one's staring at you." He slightly panicked for no reason.
"Tss! Get up, we have to go somewhere." Detective Lee commanded.
Officer Chad looked at him confusedly and asked, "Where are we going, senior?"
"I got some information that someone might know the culprit and he works at the bar." Detective Lee answered.
"Does that mean we might also find a clue about Michael's mother?" He excitedly asked, Detective Lee nodded. "Then, let's go to that bar right now, senior."
"Wait a minute, Chad." Cameron stopped Officer Chad who was about to head to the door.
"What is it? Did you forget something, senior?" Devius innocently queried.
Detective Lee took a deep breath and faced him directly. "Will you stop calling me senior? I sounded too old with how you address me."
"What do you want me to call you, then?"
"Cai..."
"What?"
"Just call me Cai." Cameron explained.
A big smile curved on Officer Chad's lips upon hearing it. "Aye! Aye! Captain, I mean, Cai."
"Tss. What's there to be so happy about?" Detective Lee rolled his eyes trying to hide the smile in his lips. "Let's go, now." He diverted the subject.
"Ehem! Wait, wait. You can't go there looking like that." Chief Simon interrupted them.
"Chief!" Both men saluted.
Chief Simon smiled and walk towards them. "You don't have to be so formal." She said.
"Anyway, Chief, what do you mean we can't go there like this?" Officer Chad questioned her while looking at himself.
"Yeah, we're only going to investigate." Detective Lee seconded.
"Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!" Chief Simon shook her head while sighing. "Yes, you're going to investigate and you guys look exactly like a man of authority."
"Because we are." Cameron stated.
"I know, that's why you need some disguise. Come with me." She held them in their wrists and pulled them together to her office.

When the door was finally swung open, two fancy clothes were exposed to them. Detective Lee and Officer Chad both looked at each other, confused. They looked at the clothes again then turned to their superior in unison.
"What is all these?" Cameron asked.
Chief Simon turned to them with a smile. "You'll wear that at the bar." She enunciated.
"WHAT!?" They both asked.
"Chief, I'm not wearing that. I'm already thirty years old and I'm not wearing an outfit for a teenager." Detective Lee stubbornly refused immediately.
Officer Chad's reaction was different because there were traces of joy and excitement on his face while looking at the clothes. He smiled and turned to Cameron.
Cameron already know what was in his partner's mind. "No, I won't wear that, Chad." He firmly said.
"Cai, you'll look great in those. Trust me, you don't look like your age at all. You even look younger than me." Devius argued.
Detective Lee looked at him blankly in the eyes. "I'm still not going to wear that. You can wear them if you want but it's not my style." He strongly refused.
"But the one you're wearing the night we met was even more stylish that these." Devius said, remember their first encounter.
Detective Lee was speechless. He couldn't argue because he did wear a more fancy clothes the day that he met Officer Chad.
"Cameron, just think that you're doing this for the job. Just work, nothing personal." Chief Simon persuaded him.
"No, I'm not wearing that cheesy teenager outfit and it's final. I'm sorry, Chief." Detective Lee said and turned his back on them.
After the door was shot, Devius turned to his superior with a smile. "I'll handle him, Chief, don't worry." He assured her.
"Goodluck and br careful." Chief Simon stated sincerely.
Devius nodded and saluted before leaving the office with the clothes. He looked around for his partner but he didn't see even Cameron's shadow. Officer Chad headed straight out and there he found Detective Lee sitting inside the car. He walked towards his partner with a smile, carefully placed the clothes at the back and then get inside.
As soon as he's in, Devius smiled and turned to Cameron. "Cai—"
"No, Chad." Detective immediately cut his sentence.
"You don't really wanted to try?"

"No." That was Cameron's final answer.
Yet several minutes later, he found himself wearing the same clothes at Chief Simon's officer earlier. No matter how many times he sighed, he couldn't do anything because as Chief Simon said, it was for work. They found out that the bar won't let just anyone in. Even if he is very against it, he has to wear the clothes in order to get in.
Chief Simon made him wear a black turtle neck inside topped with a grey coat and a black jeans. It was paired with a brown ankle boots. Along with the 'diguise' were one chain earring and a chain designed for his black pants. He looked exactly like a model. He doesn't look like a thirty year old anymore.
While Cameron's face was serious and expressionless, Devius was all smiling, as if he had won a lottery. He couldn't stop admiring his partner's visual. He doesn't really know why Cameron wouldn't want to dress up because he certainly look like an goddamn model. He could become an idol.
"Woah! You look so good, Cai. I told you, you really don't look like your age." Cameron heard Officer Chad's compliments but he still feels uncomfortable with his clothes.
"Stop talking. I'm still annoyed by these—" When he turn around to face Devius, he was cut of his sentence.
Officer Chad was wearing a black ripped jeans, black polo that was buttoned up only until his chest. Two buttons aren't done, so his collarbone and chest was exposed freely. It was tucked in on his pants and paired with a black rubber shoes. He's also wearing an earring on both of his ears, a black choker was designed on his neck. He even used an artificial white dye for his hair.
Detective Lee watched him walk towards his direction with the most beautiful smile he had ever seen. Everything he sees was in a slow motion. Cameron felt his heart beating strangely. It's as if he had been running for miles. He couldn't take his eyes off of Officer Chad. He even felt his blood rising from his veins to his face.
"Detective Lee?" A snap on his face brought him back to his senses.
"What?"
"Cai, d-do I look bad?" Officer Chad asked awkwardly.
"Huh?" He asked in confusion.
He didn't even noticed that Devius has been standing in front of him for quite some time now and asking him about how he looked like. While he's busy enjoying the handsome sight in front of him, Officer Chad was asking him about how he looked.
"He's asking you if he looks alright, he looks awesome, doesn't he?" Chief Simon excitedly repeated.
"Chief Simon? When did you come here?" He asked in confusion.
Chief Simon raised her eyebrow. "I've been here since Devius started asking you if he looks fine." She answered with teasing tone.
"So? Do I look fine, Cai?" Devius asked again.
Cameron couldn't deny the fact that Devius looked stunning. He even felt this strange heartbeat while he was looking at him. But he just couldn't admit it out loud.
"You look just, let's go." He simply said and walked out.
Devius was a bit disappointed as he watch his partner walk away. For some reason, he felt a kind of sad because he was expecting that Cameron would compliment him too by the way he looked at him earlier. Although he already got used of his senior's personality, he still wishes that Cameron will compliment him for once. He just sighed and smiled because in the short time he had been with this guy, he knew about Cameron's personality. He's sometimes hard to read, often unreadable. Nor does he learn to express true feelings. Officer Chad was happy because somehow he had seen the admiration earlier in his eyes. For him, that's enough. Even if he's kind of confused about himself because these passed few days, he had this feeling of wanting to impress Cameron.
"Devius, don't mind him. You look really handsome and I'm sure, a lot of girls will come at you at the bar." Chief Simon winked at him.
Officer Chad giggled. "Thank you, Chief but I'm going to there for work, nothing else." He mumbled.
"Hmm. Goodluck and take care. Call me if you need something because that stubborn guy, Cameron won't even bother." They both laughed because of Chief Simon's words.
After talking to his superior, Officer Chad followed Detective Lee to the car and drove to their destination.

YAOS 1 - Limitless Adventures - Yet Another OP Story Book 1
December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and at Amazon. December 30th 2018: V1.1.2 of YAOS Book 1 is out, some content additions, fixed typos. Amazon's enhanced typesetting now displays tables properly. YAOS is shown through the eyes of some genius athlete getting OP inside a VR, ah wait, Full Immersion game, ?F.I.O?. Not a Hero, not a Nerd, just a driven individual paying for mistakes made, biding time until he can return to the Real World. He isn't defined like you'd normally do it, you can pick his looks and name all on your own, just like you do in video games. Believe it or not, keeping his looks undefined is harder than you think. His backstory isn't expounded in detail, but it drives his choices. Book 1 isn't about depressing sob stories but about fun and rushing forward, pursuing new horizons. Oh, and you'll end on a cliffhanger! Well, most serials do, so you will probably expect that without being told explicitly. But it isn't that bad, there's a lot of reveals and more to come once this book, that is the first in a planned three-part series, is finally ready for release on amazon et al. The published version will have: 1.) Godawful speaker tags, I hate them, they make you stop thinking and speed up editing so much. In hindsight they should have been in to begin with. But I stand by my goals proclaimed earlier. You guys should think while reading, that is the whole point of the exercise. Apply the knowledge and ideas, improve yourself, get creative! 2.) Pretty colored tables, the damned blue boxes, a lot of work, 69 in one book. Finally fixed amazon's centering issue. Can't say I liked the hours needed to debug that. 3.) The promised Mitara chapters. 4.) A cover! 5.) And lastly, updated polished versions of several chapters. MC shares more of his past, some terrible chapters (esp. 32) finally work. Some new scenes, minor rewrites in parts. Text flow and other issues. The current challenge is to maintain essential ambiguity while satisfying people wanting to know more without thinking three steps ahead. Balancing one with the other is tough. The smut which was in remains, but the story told is not to be superseded by it. A 15+ rating for the first book is also important, not to mention, YAOS wasn't meant to contain any smut to begin with. If the Author can turn to writing full time his output should increase, so please support YAOS #1 once it does finally release. ~Thank You~ No maps so far, that should be in, but is really hard to get done right. Again, tips are appreciated. Update September 2017: Stubbed chapters, sorry guys, currently don't have time to upload them elsewhere, polishing book 1 and 2, writing 3, takes precedence. Book 1 is in heavy editing, too much to keep synced and continuing editing. I'd need a site which offers JS-free rapid managing of chapters and comments. Coding one myself or setting a premade up is out of scope until I'm done with the books. RRL-old offered that, nuff said. This is only here because the author believes in fairies, nobody reads this, most likely. October to December 2017: Life threw some curveballs. February 2018: Book 2 draft 1 completed, at ~150K words. Book 2 is fairly epic in scope, requires 1 rewritten chapter, some editing. Tables and miscellanea are in, but needs at least a grammar pass. March 2018: Book 3 at 28k words, first arc, rest needs serious planning for spin-off and satisfying conclusion. July 2018: Yet another proofing/editing session of books 1-3, 101+ chapters, ~300k words. B3 at 48k, starts out great, but no ETA, no wordcount limit, in flux. But prioritizing my writing cannot be done, I hate the delays as much as you, but you will prefer the whole released in a timely fashion rather than wait. Knowing myself how excruciating waiting can be, at least you'll get significantly polished versions and an ETA on book 2 by release of book 1. December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and in the process at Amazon et. al.. . To all who wait patiently, offered feedback, thanks again!
