Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 96 - Nils
...***...
Juwata-Kalimantan International Airport, Indonesia, currently.
2020
The typical white European man stood at the door of the domestic arrival, waiting for someone who a few hours ago called.
"He should have arrived" he murmured as he stared at the circular telecosys on his left wrist.
"Nil!" Someone shouted his name. The man's attention instantly turned to him.
There, among the people who were scattering out, a man stood in a cream coat. He smiled as he waved at her. On his back, he carried a black backpack bag that was quite large.
"Derek." Nils Zoilos, smiled back as he waved his hand. The Norwegian-born man then approached Derek who had been waiting there since.
"It's good to finally meet you. How's it going? We haven't seen each other in a long time." Nils greets the newly arrived Derek.
"Good news. I'm also really happy to see you again after almost a year of not meeting."
"Alright, come. I've prepared the car so we can get to my place and you can rest."
Nils walked along with Derek, stepped out of the airport to get to the parking lot and went home to rest.
"How was your trip? Is being at the airport fun?" Nils and Derek are already in the car. They're on their way back to the Nils.
"Yes, that's it. Not too bad, probably because I haven't been on a plane in a long time. Oh yeah, by the way I thought you were in Oslo at first, but it turns out you're in Indonesia. Since when did you come back?"
"It seems so. Besides because you're too busy, you rarely call."
"Haha, that's. Then, how is Jakarta?"
"Nothing special to me. Maybe it's because it's been living there for years, so everything feels normal."
"Oh, huh?"
"Why don't you try to stay in the capital? Isn't that a good idea? Besides you can further grow your business there, many people will certainly be interested in working with your big company."
"Ikke needles! Maybe next time, because my work in Kalimantan alone has been a lot, not to mention coupled with the projects that I have to deal with in Oslo as well," said Nils who looks burdened with proposals from Derek. While the man who had just expressed his proposal just chuckled in response to his words.
(No to now!— in Norsk/Norway)
"Hahaha all right, it's up to you. After all, you're the one who's going through it all, I'm just giving you a proposal."
"How's Joe doing?" Suddenly Nils switched the conversation. Derek turned to him at a glance. He knew this would happen, and Derek anticipated it first.
"good. He's as healthy as ever."
"really? So, what about the job?"
"As I was talking on the phone earlier, that he still can't catch them. It seems that over the span of a year, they have been able to master well the power they have." Derek turned his gaze out the window, staring at the buildings that had been moving in tandem with the speed of their vehicles.
"Yes, it's true. It's easy to master the power."
