A Force Love Contract With GANG LEADER

Since yesterday, in less than 24 hours, Jimmy had thought of Kate countless times. No matter whether he was busy or idle, whenever there was a second, the idea of her would come buzzing to him like a fly.

Moving backward in his memory, since early this year, no, last autumn, when he met her with that guy, he kept thinking of her. He worried that she wasn’t happy, worried that the man didn’t treat her nice.

As he knew, few people were really happy, even in the same situation as Kate’s.

And he saw her closely yesterday. She hadn’t lost weight. She was wearing decent clothing and was going to school.

It seemed that Tristan Fox was treating her nicely. However, she hadn’t changed a lot. Her air was different, with something more for a man to look at and memorize and reflect upon. She was, simply put, more feminine.

It wasn’t his imagination.

Then Jimmy had a strong feeling. It was jealousy. He was jealous of Tristan Fox.

In the past few months, he tried to persuade himself that it was her own choice and he should support her, as they were friends. Weren’t they?

But the truth was, she wasn’t just a friend to him.

Linda said he didn’t know about relationships.

That was why he missed it.

He missed it so carelessly, and it made him unwilling to admit that he had missed it already.

The phone rang and interrupted his thoughts. Claire was quicker than him and picked up the phone.

After a few yes and okay’s, she put down the phone and walked to Jimmy. “Jimmy, they found a body in the seaside.”

Jimmy frowned and said, “You report it to the Captain first.”

Claire stuck out her tongue and ran to the Captain’s office. Soon she ran back again and said, “Captain said you could take us to see it.”

Jimmy raised his eyebrows, “We? Did you finish editing my report?”

Claire nodded hastily. She was full of expectation but also had a little resentment. Because she was a girl, the paperwork was always thrown to her.

Among the few rookies, she was the one who graduated with the highest scores.

Jimmy was reluctant to take her, but he took up his coat from the chair and said, “Okay. Let’s go. Ask Bill to come again.”

Claire was cheerful and waved to the guy in the corner, “Bill, let’s go.”

The body was found on the shore of a nearby island. When one of the inhabitants walked his dog, it had detected the stench and run to a pile of rocks. The body was inside a sack among the rocks.

When they got there, the local police had pulled the warning line, and some of the inhabitants were watching outside. When the car stopped, Claire ran immediately to the site, but after just a few seconds, she turned back and retched.

Bill laughed at her, but he wasn’t feeling much better. He took one look and walked away feeling sick.

Jimmy wasn’t surprised at this kind of scene. He got close to the rotten corpse and walked around it, took some pictures and notes, identified a few important things, and then asked for the corpse to be shipped to the coroner for autopsy.

At the weekend, Kate went to some bookstores to buy a few reference books. She stood in front of the shelf of economy and finance and picked among the books.

She had so concentrated on the books that when she turned around, she bumped into someone. She apologized hastily, but her last word dried up when she saw the person she was speaking to. It was Jimmy.

It had been a week since she encountered him last.

She had made up her mind to say goodbye to the past. It took her great trouble to squeeze her bitterness and despair and all the memories about him into a small box and shove it to the darkest corner of her heart.

Seeing him again was like suddenly opening the closed box again.

She opened her mouth and tried to ask calmly, “You are buying books?”

Jimmy looked at her for a few seconds silently, and then he put a finger in his mouth to tell her to keep silent. Then he pulled her satchel on her shoulder and opened it.

Kate didn’t know what he was doing, but she trusted him thoroughly and kept silent.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

She saw him take out her cell phone from her bag, unloaded the battery, and checked it carefully, and then he put it back in her satchel.

And then he said to her in a very low voice, “I came to see you.”

Kate was surprised. And he said in an even lower voice, “I think I have a lead on Caroline’s case.”
