Teaser #1
“You know that you are free to ask,” my companion instantly speaks up out of the blue, all the while scrolling and reading through news articles from his iPhone.

''I almost jump in surprise that I turn away and to the view outside. It is almost past lunch time but I couldn’t feel the hunger at all, just pure curiosity ones. I gulp in and finally ask, “Where are we going?”''

''“Ashford. Next,” he replies without even looking away from his phone.''

“A crime scene?”

''“A crime scene, indeed. But?”''

''“But you’re a licensed chemist. In any case, you should be along with a team, or perhaps in the labs.”''

“And?”

''“You’re not part of the police. Police don’t consult other people, wishing to solve it themselves.”''

''Since the time that we rode the cab, Aleksander Sterling didn’t looks at me, only now that he did. A minute later, before turning back onto scrolling and reading, he answers, “I am a graduate chemist.”''

“You’re… young.”

''“I finished elementary at eleven, high school at fourteen, and College at sixteen. I mastered Chemistry for a year.”''

''I frown. “You’re just eighteen?”''

“And five days, to be exact.”
