ADILAGES
RANGDA 1'S

While off duty, Detective Rania Giselda fills the time by relaxing at her subscription cafe in Blok M, South Jakarta.

Sitting in her favorite chairs by the window, Rania appears to be wearing a white shirt and blue blazer and trousers. The appearance of the girl so impressed very graceful, making anyone who saw it would think he was a manager or marketer reliable. Unless they catch a glimpse of the holster hanging on the shirt belt, hidden behind the blazer. Even Rania did not hesitate to wear glasses that actually brighten, beautify the look of her eyes.

While fiddling with her gadget, Rania slowly sipped on the Iced Hazelnut Latte, her favorite coffee drink. He then breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like tasting a piece of heaven after a night of investigating cases like struggling in the hell of the world. Occasionally he floated around, enjoying the atmosphere of a cafe that nuanced European like in Paris, France.

This delight was only complete when Rania Giselda's eyes were glued to a handsome, dashing man at the entrance. The way he wears it is similar to rania, except he uses a kind of jacket whose arms are neatly rolled up. Plus the short hair whose bangs were allowed to cover the forehead naturally, it was fitting for her to get the smile of a girl as beautiful as Rania.

As if provoked by Rania's charm, the man approached the female detective. Then he sat in front of Rania while saying hello, “How is Nia, later tonight so gym together?”

Rania kept a sweet smile, showing she was very familiar with the man. “You know what, Gerry, but I have to go to the Forensics Lab again in the afternoon. There are interesting findings related to the case of ‘ freak accident’ car Wardhana Logistics.”

“Really?” respond to this man named Gerry Kusnandar. “I don't think, the result is this fast there.”

“Not, this is just an initial finding. But I'm sure we'll get an important clue from there.”

“Can be. Hmm, since the beginning I have kissed there is an oddity and awkwardness in this case,” said Gerry, the look on his face seemed serious. “If Johnny Wardhana, the CEO of Wardhana Enterprises had not personally reported the loss of goods from the car, this case would have been considered a pure accident, not a robbery with the insertion.”

Rania put on a sour face. “But Ger, there is the most awkward. From rumors circulating, Wardhana Enterprises is ‘diusik’ by SS Corporation, a new company in Jakarta that is growing very rapidly. Is it possible that business competition between them that triggered this case that we are handling?”

Gerry shrugged his shoulders. “So, I don't see any connection between this case and the SS Corporation. As far as I'm concerned, Wardhana's car was in an accident. Then, someone took the opportunity by looting his freight.”

When Rania opened her mouth to argue with her partner, suddenly the signal on her gadget sounded. He read the message on the screen, then quickly moved towards the cashier to pay for his drink.

“There's a call from the center?” gerry asked, all of you bring Rania's stuff to the exit.

“Yap, there is a new case.”

“Wah, this must be a big case of emergencies, so that we are called suddenly like this,” said Gerry. “Yeah, understand. The best team like us never deserted the task.”

Rania tickled. “Don't jumawa first. If we only work, when is the gym?”

“Oh yes, yes,” responds to Gerry while smiling witfully and scratching his short hair.

\==oOo==

That night, the car that Gerry and Rania boarded neatly on the side of the road. The two detectives then stepped without rushing into the narrow alley.

Rania's striking appearance makes it the center of attention of the residents of the slum houses lined along the alley. How not, the appearance of those people was like heaven and earth compared to the graceful girl. The average seedy and shabby, but many also seem like a hoodlum.

One of the hoodlums even whistled impudently towards Rania. But the second-in-law quickly silenced the harasser, reprimanded him half whispered, “Crazy you, Zam! He's a cop, you know! Don't let your eyes be the nest of bullets! Basic new boy you!”

On the other hand, Rania continued to pass without a care. Apparently he often went to places like this and got treatment like that. Fortunately, he and Gerry until now did not need to pull out a gun. There is no reason to eradicate the delinquents except when these two policemen are attacked, pushed or raided this area in order to task.

Rania follows Gerry into a house without permission. The occupant, a thin-dry man with some sort of black shadow under his eyes scattered into the vestibule. But his steps stopped when he saw the two people he knew.

The host's tone is like a talkative or a racketeer. “Eh? Oh, Mas Gerry, Ms. Rania, no matter who.. Come, please sit down!”.

“Not to be pleasant, Ucup!” hardik Gerry, pushing the skinny body to a corner on the wall. “Hngh, you are ‘pake’ again, yes?!”

“N... no! I swear, I'm not ‘pake’ anymore! I've been converted, penitent!” Ucup.

“Lantas, why are you still like that fly guy? Never mind, save your chat until ‘kamar’ later!” What Gerry meant was a police station detention room.

“Ow, no! Not boss! I swear, I'm not lying!” The drug addict. “What if I pay ‘damai’ use information only.. free!”

“Hmmph, do you think I need information?”

“B-wasn't it always? Isn't this the reason I entered this gang full of thugs and entered my house without excuse?”

“Hih, apparently your brain is indeed again ‘lurus’ ya?” Gerry backed off, took off the check. “Good, we talk.”

The three people stepped into the sealed inner room, away from those who liked to peep and steal listen.

Turn Rania talk, “Begini, there's a kidnapped workwoman, her name is Devina Mananta. According to the results of the investigation in his boarding room, the culprits were in groups and seemed to be quite professional.”

Gerry continued, “They leave no fingerprints or meaningful clues. There were signs of resistance from Devina, but that left no trace of the culprit. Well informant, have you recently heard or seen there is a ‘movement’ that may have something to do with a case like this?”

Ucup quickly shook his head. “A-I don't know.”

“Lho, you said earlier you have information for us, why now even say do not know?” sergeant Rania.

“Are you messing with us, huh?” Gerry clenched both his hands. “We so want ‘main-main’ also with you, at the police station of course..”.

Cold sweat Ucup. “Euh, fine, fine! I heard recently..”.

\==oOo==

Peacocks, Banten.

But Gerry and Rania did not intend to cross. Their car drove slowly across the warehousing area that seemed to have been slum, unmaintained. The car stopped, and the two policemen continued on foot.

“I hope Ucup does not mislead us to a place like this,” said Rania, his eyes staring around with concern.

“Better to get lost than stuck,” Gerry responded. “Just calm down, people tend to tell the truth under the pressure of fear. After all, this place is suitable to be a nest of criminals. If we are late, Devina and the other women will be sold to pimps by this gang!”

Inevitably Rania nodded, assuring. “Lantas, how can we track down the lair of that human trafficker gang among this vast expanse of warehouses? I don't see anyone here, do we have to enter all the warehouses one by one until we meet?”

“Hopefully no. So we need pairs of eyes, ears, nose and intuition for this kind of work.” Gerry pulled out his semi-automatic pistol and bolted it, followed by his partner.

Suddenly Rania sniffed the air, her face frowning. “There is the smell of blood and foul smell. I think it's from over there.” He pointed to a warehouse not far from where they stood.”

“Nah ‘kan, your tracking ability is topnotch, Rania. Come on, we hurry there!” Gerry and Rania walked quickly in the direction they were heading.

Suddenly Rania stopped her steps, covering her mouth and nose with her hands. His eyes widened to see the horrifying sight before him. How not, the bodies appear to be scattered. Most of them are men who look rogue ala thugs, but not a few people “tak sin” killed. Some warehousing guards, local residents, even some women who are suspected of being abductees were not spared their lives. Or, Rania thought, not to be allowed to be an eyewitness.

“This is clearly the work of a very professional group of people, like an army.” Gerry, whose nature was powerless, shuddered in horror.

“But wait, watch the bodies.” Rania pointed with her chin. “Their face and body blackened, I think they died of poisoning.”

“What!?” Gerry's aghast. “So we're a step late..!”

“Prophe first, Ger. Look, there's more bodies in front of that barn. Let's go there!”

Without further ado, the two detectives rushed towards the warehouse in question. Sure enough, more and more corpses of thugs and women were scattered. Especially in this empty but moist and stuffy warehouse. Blood splattered everywhere, mixed with poisoned and drained of blood. Looks like the massacre just took place a few hours ago.

Suddenly, a very fat and big man burst out from inside the warehouse office, lunging at Gerry blindly. Before the policeman could fire his gun, his face was hit by a hard fist.

Instead, Rania simply pointed a gun at the man while exclaiming, “Hold! Don't move, or you'll have to shoot!”

The fat man momentarily stopped his action and turned to face his two opponents. His facial expression was blank, his eyes were pushy.

“Sial you..!” Gerry got up and wanted to return the blow, but Rania put her back in the way. Gerry's face was full of question marks as his partner pointed to his own eyes and then to the fat one.

“Resid...e done already..” racau the fat. “Gengku, mine my money! Me, Sobari just crumbled!”

“What do you mean, Sobari?” ask Rania. “Who has done this to you?”

Sobari who has lost her mind just keeps talking without looking at Rania, “Setan... female demons from hell…! Sparking everywhere! They flashed...spread the deadly poison, tore us all apart!” Seemed blood pouring from claw wounds all over his body.

Assumption Rania, Sobari is still breathing because the fat deposits in his body are too thick. He exclaimed again, “Where is Devina?”

“Ngg... Devina? I don't know. Do I have to remember the names of all my ‘trading’?” Sobari grinned, saliva pouring from her foaming mouth.

Gilang Turn asked, “Why aren't you poisoned?”

“Because he forgave my life!” racau Sobari's. “She sent me two messages for anyone asking about this incident.”

“What is it?” ask Rania.

“One, ‘tell them, Rangda has gone to a young volcano above the island to forge an heirloom keris!’”

“Rangda? A volcano? Heirloom keris? What do you mean?” Rania flinched, only realized it was useless to dig up further information from this madman. He turned to Gerry, and the partner just shrugged his shoulders.

“Entah, I do not know the relationship between Queen Leak, the volcano and Keris Mpu Gandring,” said Gerry.

So, Sobari directly talk again, “Two, ‘after hearing the first message, they all have to die!’” He cried out loud and long, lunging forward like a wild bull.

“Awas, Nia!” Gerry shouted while shaking like a tiger, grabbing Rania who was too close to Sobari. As a result, it was his own body that was hit by the madman's ramming, so fierce that it bounced and hit the wall. Then Gerry collapsed on the floor, not moving anymore.

“Hahaha! Let this place be my hell. All here must die, die, die!” While saying so with a frothy mouth, Sobari turned towards Rania.

The woman's police face turned pale instantly. His gun fell when he was hit by Gerry. Does he have to be determined to use his judgment dings on opponents of body and energy twice as big as he is?

There's no other choice. Rania desperately even went forward to welcome the opponent who lunged towards her. Has that girl gone crazy like Sobari?

As the distance between the two rhino-like fighters and the deer shrank, Rania suddenly dropped forward. His hand grabbed, then grasped the gun that had fallen earlier. Then, lying sideways on the floor, Rania aimed the gun straight at her opponent.

Just at that moment, Sobari who was crashing in the air turned around to launch a third wave attack. When his face was pointed at the opponent, suddenly a gun eruption sounded. Almost simultaneously, a bullet lodged in the forehead, right between Sobari's eyes. The energy of the moat disappeared instantly, only the force of thrust made his body advance forward, slumped in a state of lying on the floor. End the fate of the kingpin of trafficking and human smuggling, wallowing in his own pool of blood.

After making sure there are no more “pengganggul”, Rania rushed to Gerry who had just regained consciousness. “Gerry, thank God you're fine,” he said as he hugged the man. Although they violate professional ethics, although they hide it from others, the fact that Gerry and Rania are lovers is impossible to hide between the two.

“Aduh, don't be hard!” erang Gerry's. “That's it, it looks like my ribs are broken.”

“Oh yes?” Hearing that, Rania even tightened her embrace. “Let me use this old-fashioned way to reconnect it!”

Gerry's overwhelmed. “Ouch! Aaagh! No, Nia! Www! I was just kidding, really! Just ordinary pain! Watch out, my bones will crumble for real!”
