I CLAIM YOU MINE
Chapter 1
MW Organization, a place where every crime is seen as a crime and is given its due punishment.
Not a single criminal has ever escaped the gaze of this center.
This Organization has five floors. The topmost houses the Hackers Department, below that is the Investigators Unit, followed by the Forensics Department, and beneath that lies the Hospital
The Fight Floor — its location is a mystery to most, known only to a select few.
And it is on that very floor that a select few have come together — for reasons known only to them
In that room, two people stared at each other with such intensity, it felt as if they might tear each other apart.
Raya Lennox and Kiener Blake couldn’t stand each other — yet the Chief never stopped assigning them to the same missiom
RAYA LENNOX/ FL
There’s no way I’m working with you this time. Might as well let the Chief know now.
RAYA LENNOX/ FL
*look directly into his eyes*
KIERAN BLAKE/ML
Why don’t you go tell him yourself? There’s no need to say it to me.
RAYA LENNOX/ FL
Because you never trust my reports
RAYA LENNOX/ FL
You always have something to question.
RAYA LENNOX/ FL
*raise her shoulder*
RAYA LENNOX/ FL
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
KIERAN BLAKE/ML
Miss Icy Queen, spare me the drama. I have no interest in arguing right now.
RAYA LENNOX/ FL
Oh please, like I wanted to talk to you.
RAYA LENNOX/ FL
I was just doing you a favor by pointing out your problem
RAYA LENNOX/ FL
*look away*
？？？
Enough, both of you — quiet.
The voice came from a man stepping into the room, a woman trailing behind him, casually sipping from a cold coffee in her hand.
？？？
This fight? It’s never-ending with these two, Marlowe.
MARLOWE WILLSON/CHIEF
Great. As always, stuck with these two. Someone tell me what I did to deserve this.
MARLOWE WILLSON/CHIEF
*huff*
？？？
Call it karma for all your crimes,
MARLOWE WILLSON/CHIEF
Clair you too, wanna pick fight
CLAIR WATSON
How may I suppose to cheif
MARLOWE WILLSON/CHIEF
Anyway
MARLOWE WILLSON/CHIEF
*clears his throat*
Marlowe said, clearing his throat as he stepped in front of the group
MARLOWE WILLSON/CHIEF
We’ve got a case on our hands
MARLOWE WILLSON/CHIEF
One that’s been disturbing, relentless, and personal: human trafficking.
MARLOWE WILLSON/CHIEF
As you're aware, two of the victims were found dead, and one was barely clinging to life.
The room fell silent as eyes shifted from one person to another. Only eight people were present — and the weight of the conversation rested solely among them.
KIERAN BLAKE/ML
Chief, I said I’d take care of this case on my own. So why bring everyone else into it?
CLAIR WATSON
I know you can do this alone, Kienar. But this time, it’s a team effort.
CLAIR WATSON
The more people involved, the greater the advantage.
Raya had remained silent all this time. Her eyes shifted to Clair, then to Marlowe — and then, without warning, she spoke.
RAYA LENNOX/ FL
You two aren’t dating… right?
RAYA LENNOX/ FL
*asked suddenly.*
Her question made everyone turn to look at her
ASHER MADDOX/ 2ND ML
Is this really the time to bring that up?
ASHER MADDOX/ 2ND ML
*immediately snapped.*
The moment they heard that, Marlowe and Clair immediately moved apart, almost too quickly.

Hope you all like it
Chapter 2
MARLOWE WILLSON/CHIEF
What the hell are you talking about, you crazy girl?
RAYA LENNOX/ FL
You might fool people with your eyes, but your actions? Not so much.
RAYA LENNOX/ FL
*Casual shrug*
Just as Marlowe began to speak, Raya gently interrupted him,
RAYA LENNOX/ FL
By the way, you mentioned human trafficking
RAYA LENNOX/ FL
But how can we be sure? What evidence do we have?
MARLOWE WILLSON/CHIEF
I am the boss here, you can't stop me out of nowhere
RAYA LENNOX/ FL
So do you want me continue about your flirting life boss.
The room grew quiet again — not with awkwardness, but focus. All eyes shifted to Marlowe.
MARLOWE WILLSON/CHIEF
*Nodding slightly, voice steady*
KIERAN BLAKE/ML
We found matching burn marks on both victims — identical symbols, likely used for identification or control.
JULIET RHODES/ 2ND FL
The barely surviving victim had a chip implanted just beneath her skin, something not easily detected.
CLAIR WATSON
*Stepping in, placing her cold coffee on the tabl*
CLAIR WATSON
We ran a deep scan. It’s encrypted, military-grade — not something you find on the black market.
CLAIR WATSON
And there are traces of a substance in her bloodstream… something used to suppress will and memory
A chill passed through the room.
ASHER MADDOX/ 2ND ML
So this isn’t just trafficking. It’s organized, high-level, and dangerous.
RAYA LENNOX/ FL
Then we’re not dealing with street thugs. This is something bigger.
Kiener looked at her coldly and said,
KIERAN BLAKE/ML
So all the previous cases seemed like street thugs to you, Miss Icy Queen?
Raya didn’t like his tone one bit. She turned to him, eyes sharp but voice controlled.
RAYA LENNOX/ FL
Because those are exactly the kind of cases you used to bring in, Mr. Non-Human.
A heavy silence followed. The rest of the room exchanged glances, sensing the heat rising between them again — one that was all too familiar
Kiener took a few slow steps toward her and leaned in slightly, his voice low but cold.
KIERAN BLAKE/ML
Do you even realize how serious this case is, Miss Raya?
KIERAN BLAKE/ML
If you don’t want to be involved — which you clearly said earlier — then just tell the Chief. There’s the door.
He pointed toward the exit with a sharp gesture
KIERAN BLAKE/ML
You’re free to leave. But don’t stay here just to waste time.
Raya held his gaze, her expression unreadable. Then, softly but firmly, she spoke.
RAYA LENNOX/ FL
I wasn’t planning to be part of this case anyway.
She turned to Marlowe, her tone shifting.
Without waiting for a response, she walked away — her footsteps echoing behind her as the room remained still.
Raya stepped out of the room. She walked a few paces down the corridor, her heels echoing faintly in the silence. Then she stopped.
Leaning against the wall, she exhaled shakily and dropped her gaze to the floor.
She began rubbing one hand over the other — fast, restless, almost like trying to scrub something off her skin.
RAYA LENNOX/ FL
I’m so pathetic...
She whispered under her breath.
RAYA LENNOX/ FL
I’m so pathetic...
The words spilled out again, this time barely holding back the crack in her voice.
She squeezed her eyes shut, trying to hold herself together. But the weight on her chest only grew heavier.
RAYA LENNOX/ FL
Be strong, Raya.
She muttered, clenching her fists so tightly her nails dug into her palms.
Chapter 3
She muttered, clenching her fists so tightly her nails dug into her palms.
She started hitting her thigh with the side of her fist — once, twice, again.
RAYA LENNOX/ FL
You don’t cry.
RAYA LENNOX/ FL
*hit again*
RAYA LENNOX/ FL
You can’t cry.
RAYA LENNOX/ FL
You’re strong. Crying makes you weak.
RAYA LENNOX/ FL
*hit again and faster*
Her voice trembled, but she kept repeating it — like a chant, like armor. Her breath turned shaky, but her hands didn’t stop.
Something inside her was clawing its way up. Something she didn’t want to face.
Something that had lived in the dark corners of her past, and was now knocking again.
The more she tried to suppress it, the louder it echoed in her chest.
RAYA LENNOX/ FL
You’re strong. You’re strong... You have to be.
She hit her thigh again, harder this time, as if trying to beat the memory back down.
Tears welled up — but she blinked them away, forcing them back with clenched teeth.
She wasn’t going to break. Not here. Not again.
CLAIR WATSON
Kiener, you know how important Raya is to this case!
Kiener looked at her, calm but firm.
KIERAN BLAKE/ML
I can’t help that. If she stayed, she would’ve only made things more difficult.
A tense silence followed until Marlowe finally spoke, his voice steady and commanding.
MARLOWE WILLSON/CHIEF
Enough. If Raya doesn’t want to take this case, that’s her choice
He turned to Kiener, eyes narrowing slightly.
KIERAN BLAKE/ML
And you — meet me in my office after this meeting
She barely got the words out before he cut her off.
MARLOWE WILLSON/CHIEF
Kiener, Asher,Juliet, and Maya will be on this team. And Asher bring in your unit as well. We’re going to need everyone we’ve got.
ASHER MADDOX/ 2ND ML
Okay boss
ASHER MADDOX/ 2ND ML
*bow his head*
MARLOWE WILLSON/CHIEF
And Kienar, you have a teammate name Zane right
KIERAN BLAKE/ML
Yes... Zane Albert
MARLOWE WILLSON/CHIEF
Keep him in this case he'll be use full
KIERAN BLAKE/ML
He'll always in my team sir... His hacking is out of match
MARLOWE WILLSON/CHIEF
Meeting dismissed
Kiener stepped inside. The office was plain, functional — like any other, yet it carried the weight of every decision made inside it.Marlowe didn’t look up from his files as he spoke.
MARLOWE WILLSON/CHIEF
Have a seat.
Kiener pulled the chair back and sat down.
KIERAN BLAKE/ML
If you’re here to say something about Raya, you already know where I stand.
KIERAN BLAKE/ML
*settling on chair*
MARLOWE WILLSON/CHIEF
No. I’m not here to argue about her. I just want to say… Raya is important to this case. That’s all
MARLOWE WILLSON/CHIEF
*without looking at him*
KIERAN BLAKE/ML
What I don’t understand is why you give her so much importance. Maya can take her place.
MARLOWE WILLSON/CHIEF
Maya can handle the job. But she can’t replace Raya. And you know that, Kiener
MARLOWE WILLSON/CHIEF
Raya nitpicks everything. She won’t even write a report until she’s buried knee-deep in evidence. And still... she left. She chose to walk away
MARLOWE WILLSON/CHIEF
* gaze darkened slightly*
MARLOWE WILLSON/CHIEF
How well do you actually know her, Kiener?
KIERAN BLAKE/ML
All I know is she’s Jay’s sister. That Jay — the one who disappeared five years ago. No one knows where he went.
MARLOWE WILLSON/CHIEF
And besides that?
KIERAN BLAKE/ML
Jay is my friend and she is his sister
MARLOWE WILLSON/CHIEF
and you know she is trying to find him
KIERAN BLAKE/ML
Yes I know
MARLOWE WILLSON/CHIEF
Then help her finding him
KIERAN BLAKE/ML
What???? why????
MARLOWE WILLSON/CHIEF
We need Jay, where is he??? and why he run away?
MARLOWE WILLSON/CHIEF
Go apologise to her and convenience her for this case
KIERAN BLAKE/ML
Alright...
