A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 824 New Captain

In the bright light, it was an extremely handsome face that could take away people’s breath. His eyebrows were in such a good shape, his nose was high and his eyes were dark just like galaxy. The whole face was like a sculpture which was more attractive than it used to be.

She used flashlight to look him clearly, he looked at the light straightly. She even could see his thick long eyelashes had a shallow on his face, and his lips were as red as cherry petals that blossomed in spring, revealing a kind of ultimate temptation.

Marcel was still so good-looking, he even became more handsome after years.

However, he seemed to have an unspeakable emotion in his eyes. He was very sad and his eye sight seemed empty.

Her heart accidentally had a painful feeling. Seeing her prince charming who she secretly fell in love for many years, she didn’t know what to do. She was stunned there and staring straightly at Marcel!

Rae Baxter almost shouted out loudly, "Marcel, I’m Natalie Graham!"

But when she was about to say it, she took it back. She was Rae now, and Natalie, who had died five years ago.

The dazzling light from flashlight shone on Marcel's face made his face even more clean-cut. Then, Marcel's eyes gave a faint smile when he saw her reaction, then he reached out his hand and held her hand.

Rae's felt a butterfly in her stomach, only to feel numbness at her hand then her full body came stiff and couldn’t be able to move. She was dizzy.

When her thoughts and feelings were mixed together, Marcel gently took away flashlight in her hand and turned off the light.

Rae regained her senses, secretly scolded herself for being like a nympho, and thanked Marcel for turning off her flashlight. Otherwise, her reactions were so strange and may cause doubts. It could be even worse that all their previous efforts would be wasted. She couldn't drag his father, Kane Graham, down.

In the darkness, Marcel’s voice seemed to have a trace of depression, he said, "I'm not a bad guy! I saw someone following you just now, I just want to remind you!"

Rae immediately thanked him, her voice was trembling slightly, "Oh! Thank you!"

Marcel seemed to smile again, "You should go back home, it's too late!"

He said that while passing the flashlight to her.

She took it over.

It seemed that Marcel's hand touched her hand again, she could feel his hand was warm, dry and thick, very masculine. Then she felt that his hand seemed to inadvertently wrap her hand when he put the flashlight in her palm. By then, his big hand seemed to squeeze her hand.

Her heart had a weird feeling and her heartbeat accelerated again.

After that, Rae said again, "Thank you!"

When she was passing by Marcel, she felt like to hear him sigh. That sigh was like falling onto her heart and even hurt her!

She turned on the flashlight, walked towards home and then looked back and saw that Marcel was still standing there, as if he was facing her direction. She hesitated and asked, "Sir, will we meet again?"

"If our destinies plan that!" he said.

Rae was startled.

"Go back home, it's late!" Marcel’s tone had a trace of care then he turned around and left.

Rae stood in the alley and watched him leaving. She didn't know when her tears appeared in her eyes, and she sighed and was thinking in bottom of her heart, “Marcel, I am Natalie, forgive me for not being able to tell you the truth.”

Thinking of the photos she saw today, which hard to tell it was her or real Rae. Rae knew that it was the real Rae, but what was the relationship between real Rae and Philippa?

When she got home, Rae checked what was on the storage card. It was still the picture. The person in the picture was beautiful. She looked like eighteenth or nineteenth, seemed to have a bright future. However, her life just stopped back then which made people feel sorry and heartbroken...

Yes, heartbroken.

Rae closed her eyes for a second and kept looking up, but she found nothing useful. There were only a few photos of real Rae. Rae didn't know why this happened. What was the point of storing a few photos in the card?

She didn't give up and went through the hidden file again. There was nothing, Rae fell into deep thought.

Early in the next morning, she went to the laboratory to get the DNA report.

The laboratory technician Jaelyn Mack told Rae mysteriously, "Rae, you know what? It’s so weird!"

"Jaelyn, what's wrong?" Rae was puzzled. "Is there something wrong with the test?"

"There was no problem with the process, but with the result."

"What is that?"

"You have to be well prepared. This is the most disgusting case I have received."

"Yeah, go ahead!" Rae didn't think it should be alright.

Jaelyn finally told her, "The seminal fluid on this woman is not from human being!"

Rae was taken aback for a moment, and then she blushed, "What do you mean? Not from human being? Where is it from?"

"Probably some kind of animal."

"Having…sex with an animal?" Rae was surprised again.

"Probably!" Jaelyn blushed too.

"What kind of animal’s?" Rae asked, she was still blushing.

"I’m not sure, I haven't had enough time to find out it yet, and I’m going to find animals for comparison!" Jaelyn said and patted Rae’s shoulder. "Rae, don't worry, I will help you solve the case, and this is too disgusting. I can’t imagine who is so perverted."

"Thank you very much Jaelyn, please do it as soon as possible!"

When Rae took the report back to the office, her expression was so bad. She thought it was astonishing. It was more than a year since she started working at the police station. It was the first time she encountered this kind of thing, and someone really could do this kind of disgusting thing. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Before she had time to report to the captain. Everyone seemed to be enthusiastic about discussing something, and all policemen who stayed in office were whispering.

"What happened?" Rae, who was still blushing, asked Easton Holder what was the gossip.

"The captain is suddenly transferred away and is going to be promoted!" Easton told her.

"Huh?" Rae was surprised, "Why it happened so suddenly?"

"I don't know, also there will be a new leader. I heard that he is from the capital city, a big shot!"

"Huh?" Rae was taken aback by surprise. "Why does the big shot come to work with us?"

"When the new captain is here, you can ask him!" Easton would have been promoted if he knew everything so clearly.

"But what about the cases? The original cases?" Rae thought this mattered the most. It didn’t matter who was transferred, promoted, or subordinated. She wanted to do her job well. It was not about noble or something, but she did her own thing well. That was all she wanted to do.

"Everything has been quickly handed over to the new captain, which is said by the captain. The thing happens in a sudden, as if it was decided temporarily last night. This transfer is too cursory!"

Afterwards, there was a tumult in the office, and the bureau's management team personally led a person into the door. He was very tall. Everyone was shocked when they saw him.

Rae really didn’t want to be a nympho, but why he was the one she loved before? And why was this person so handsome?

***

Marcel Hopkins.

Marcel was the new leader?!

Oh! What a horrible news!

Rae's mouth was widely open and she couldn't react to the scene.

What if he recognized her?!

Now Rae was caught in her own world, what should she do?

What if Marcel recognized that she was Natalie, what should she do then? Her original identity was completely discarded five years ago. The whole school also knew that Natalie was dead. She couldn’t have any contact with people she knew in the past. She was Rae and only could be Rae!

While she was thinking about it, Marcel’s gaze swept over. She can’t tell what he was thinking. His dark eyes with sharp gaze caught Rae so accurately from the crowd. He seemed to smile slightly as he saw her open her mouth slightly. She felt unreal when he stood in front of her and smiled at her.

With just a glance, he turned his eyes and looked the other way.

At this time, the secretary introduced him to everyone, "This is your new captain, Captain Hopkins! Captain Sutton has been promoted. We are going to have a feast dinner that is for both of them, to celebrate the promotion as well as the welcoming! No one could ask a day off at night. Let's go!"

Then everyone applauded.

Then, the new Captain Hopkins introduced himself to everyone, "Hello everyone, I’m Marcel Hopkins, I’m going to work with you in the future, and you will gradually figure out my style! I have a habit, I don’t like procrastination, so I hope when you work with me in the future, you could be both brave and careful!"

His voice was quite steady and magnetic, and his eyes were sharp.

"Keep on what you were doing, we will go for a meeting!" The director and the management team all left.

Captain Sutton shook hands with Marcel, and they went into the office to handover work.

Till everyone was back to what they were busy at, Rae pulled her thoughts back and saw Marcel enter Captain Sutton's office. He seemed to turn his head on purpose to look at Rae at the door of the office.

Rae felt a bit surprised, she always felt that Marcel's glance was meaningful, but at this moment she could only pretend to be calm.

Fortunately, Marcel didn't have further reaction, just looked at Rae deeply, nothing else except that.

Rae felt relieved and made up her mind that she wouldn’t admit it even if Marcel asked her if she was Natalie. He couldn't do anything to her.

At this time, everyone in the big office was back from astonishing and exclaimed, "He is handsome! The Captain Hopkins is so young! He looks so cool!"

Yes, he was quite young to be a team leader. And he was really handsome and cool. Otherwise, how could she have a crush on him back then?

About two hours later, Captain Sutton packed up and left. Rae ran over and took the DNA test report to him. "Captain Sutton, what should I do with this report?"

Captain Sutton smiled at her, "Take it to Captain Hopkins. He already knows the case very well. You can solve this case together in the future!"

"But Captain Sutton, this case is unprecedented, don't you want to know the truth?"

Rae can't imagine the picture working with Marcel. How would she face him then? But, on the other side, she was also looking forward to working with him. This was a long-term wish for many years. She once thought that she would never be able to interact with him again in her life, but she did not expect that he would become to her captain.

Captain Sutton saw her was distracted after saying a few words, and suddenly smirked at her, "Of course I want to know the truth, but I'll give you this opportunity to make merit, Rae. Besides, working with Captain Hopkins was so attractive. He either have a nice figure and a good-looking face, and he can definitely satisfy your expectations for a prince charming. I have to go now, goodbye, Rae!"

"Ah?!" Rae did not expect Captain Sutton to go so fast.

"Send the materials to Captain Hopkins. He is very dedicated and is waiting for you!" Captain Sutton patted on Rae's shoulder and left.
