After Two Decades
Fire in the Middle of the Sea

It didn't take long with the jeeps blasting our way across the bush, we were out in a coastal area. The beach stretches for hundreds of meters. The sand is clean licked by the waves many times. The head trees stood leaning at some point. However, in addition to all that beauty, there was no one here. There is absolutely nothing. Perfect quiet. Our jeep car drove all the way to the oceanfront. Leave tire tracks in the sand.

I looked far out at the sea. The wind was blowing leisurely and caressing. While the Black Skull in the steering cabin stared in wonder and confusion. Jan and I hurriedly lowered their heads as the man turned his head.

"To where? Where are those two guys?" ask her with a folded forehead.

"Hmm, they must have left this island," I said as I stared.

"I'm not sure" said the man. He brought his face closer to examine us.

I'm thinking fast. I opened the door and jumped out. I stepped quickly to the edge of the sea. Jan and the Black Skull followed behind. We stopped when the sea was on foot. I looked far into the endless expanse of the sea, then turned to the left right looking at the shoreline to the end. Damn, there are no vehicles here.

"I'm sure they've escaped from here" I said as soon as I saw the Black Skull coming behind me.

"Well, how now?" ask the Black Skull.

"Can't we get a boat or a boat to chase them?" I asked back.

The Black Skull retreated a few steps, it reached into the pouch issuing a radio communication.

"Help is needed south of the island, bring a ship here!" said the Black Skull to his colleague through his communication radio.

Jan and I waited patiently. When it was finished, the Black Skull quickly put back its communication tools.

"A few minutes, they'll be here" he said later.

"Okay, thank you" I said with a grin.

"Huh?" The Black Skull troop member was dumbfounded and immediately looked strangely at me.

"What did you say?" tanyanya full of search.

"Jan, man,"

Dorr! Shots erupted and the Black Skull instantly fell helpless. His body was thrown and lying on a wet stretch of beach sand with a bloody head pierced by bullets. Once shaken by the waves. While behind me, Jan stylishly blew the muzzle of his gun after firing an accurate shot.

"That's great," I said.

Jan smiled knot.

"Now we wait a few minutes" I said. "Prepare if the number comes a lot."

Jan nodded. Then watch around sharply. The gun was ready to bark again. While I was only focused on staring at the sea, waiting for the arrival of the ship that the Black Skull ordered.

We waited a few minutes. I was stunned and washed away in that very quiet beach atmosphere. There was only the sound of the whirring of the wind, the chirping of birds, and the pounding of waves. It was a really calm atmosphere for me. If only I wasn't on urgent business, I would very much like to relax in a place like this to unwind. I never felt like I was on vacation at the beach. Going to tourist attractions with the purpose solely for vacation, even it never feels. Of course because my life is full of solitude, no relatives, no lovers let alone wives. My life is full of work, work, and work. The beautiful scenery of this beach, made me finally think and wanted also to vacation to enjoy the pure nature, free myself from the entanglement of the world of technology. But anyway, I really can't leave my current affairs. The business of saving Prof. Ram Ranayuda is a very important affair that concerns all aspects of my life. It concerns jobs, careers, the fate of companies, wealth, and the past. The fate of the Korp. Masadepan is in my hands. Depends on whether or not my actions succeed. It is unfortunate to imagine the company that has raised my name is now on the edge. The fate of my career and my work in the future is also threatened with extinction. My past stories also demand an explanation, about the father and the demon who took his life. There's a lot of burden on my brain, not on my shoulders. All this makes me depressed. However, once in my heart is sure, for father's sake, everything will be fine. Everything will return to how it was at the right time.

A few minutes passed in the wait. Then from a distance, a motor boat was seen speeding towards us. The shape of the motorboat was similar to that of the Sky Lounge yacht, but smaller in size. Jan and I ran to the boat. In a short time, the motorboat and we met on the beach at the edge. The boat was carrying about four to five Black Skull troops, they were dressed exactly like us. When I arrived, my best friend and I jumped on the boat. Jan was riding in the bow, while I was riding in the back near the row of boat engines. The Black Skull troops inside the ship were a bit surprised to see us, who they thought were their comrades, but looked a bit strange and different.

After I perfectly stood at the stern of the ship, I unhesitatingly unplugged the gun. And without warning, my Glock 17 greeted them. Shots were fired towards the cabin of the boat, where the men were.

Two eruptions, two downed. The remaining two people were shocked instead of playing, glaring in disbelief. They immediately boarded the apoplexy and floundered, hastily snatching the M16 assault rifle on the ship's bench. But too late, Jan's gun bullets came from behind, first penetrating their heads. Until both of them immediately fell and collapsed helplessly. I took down Glock 17, I thought they were gone and only Jan and I were on board. However, there was another one in the steering cabin. The remaining members of the Black Skeletons were seen connecting a communication device. He tried to call his colleagues for help.

"Please! It's an emergency, we're in ...."

Dorr.

"Akhc!"

Jan's full-accuracy shot mercilessly instantly silenced the person. The last Black Skull fell into the steering dashboard of the boat, with a bloody head. It slowly slid down and lay on the floor.

"Are you good at driving this vehicle?" I asked Jan.

"Just calm down, buddy, this is easy!" my friend replied with complete certainty.

He smiled, holding his gun back. Then tread carefully towards the steering cabin. The body of the victim who was lying there was removed so as not to disturb. So after that, smartly like a professional, Jan played the wheel of the boat. Which I don't even understand at all. And a moment later, our vehicle darted away from the beach. Gliding the pace of splitting the sea like endless stretches. I immediately walked up to Jan, standing beside him. I researched the dashboard section with all sorts of advanced devices. My eyes stopped on a screen that displayed a large map. The twinkling red dot in the middle of the sea shows our position. It looks like Jan has connected this ship's dashboard device with his device.

"We're heading here" he said, placing his index finger on a screen on a small island.

"What island is that?"

"I don't know the name, but it's the only island south of Sawu Island" Jan replied.

"Hm." I'm nodding.

"We're a long way from shore, aren't we?" ask me while looking back. And I knew I was right without waiting for Jan's answer, saw Sawu Island left far away.

"Yes, it's far away. This boat turned out to be quite fast as well" said my friend.

"All right," I said. I'm getting out of place. Approaching lifeless bodies that lie in this ship. First was the body of the Black Skull lying near Jan. I forcefully pulled that stiff body. Dragging it to the back of the ship. So with all my might, I dropped the body into the sea. Mash the body of the poor man, then drown for a while before rising adrift to the surface. One is right, there are still four more bodies that must be kularung. One by one the chariots, one by one I dropped, one by one splashed and sank to the bottom of the sea. Within minutes, my job was done. The five members of the Black Skull army, now live bodies floating in the middle of the sea. I looked up at those who were left far behind. It looks cruel to someone like me. I honestly don't like doing dirty things like this either, but there's no other way I can choose. After all these people were indeed people who deserved such a reply. They are not people who deserve pity. On top of that, this also still remains in harmony with Hadni's words, that I must have a strong reason to be like this.

I'm still standing at the stern of the boat. Watching the back. Sawu Island now lives in the shadows and is almost invisible again. We're getting away. While on the left, the sun was shining scorching without clouds blocking it. There were no trees or buildings. We were completely surrounded by the sea. The beauty of the scenery certainly does not make me complacent, my eyes are still sharp watching the back. As far as the eye can see. There may be a threat coming. And sure enough, because suddenly my eyes caught a silhouette moving closer. Actually it still looks far away, but over time it gets closer and clearer. Like chasing us. A few minutes passed with me glued to the strange shadows. At the right distance, I could see clearly that it was two speedboats chasing us. The type and shape are exactly the same and our boat. I can see one of the Black Skull troop members standing in his bow, raising the machine gun high. Machine guns? Damn, I got up and ran into the cabin. Protect from the attack of opponents who are getting closer. Crazy, how fast their boat is.

"Jan, we're being chased! They're starting to shoot at us!" I called out in panic.

"You see that?" Jan pointed at the bench on the side of the cabin. Under the bench was a heavy weapon. A rocket-propelled grenade weapon, aka an RPG. Latest and mutakir output. I smiled at him immediately seeing that. Jan smiled intently.

"You know what to do?" ask my best friend.

I'm nodding. Without wasting any time, I immediately snatched the weapon. Lifting and carrying it on the shoulder. This weapon is ready to be fired from before I take it. One advantage for me. I went back to the stern of the boat. With an RPG on my shoulder, I aimed at the boat in front of me that was speeding ferociously after us. Especially the members of the army who stood at his bow.

Be able. I locked the target. Smiling satisfied. With a single pull of the trigger, the grenade projectile roared down. I'm a little backwards because of the thrust of this weapon. Up ahead, my savage shot was aiming at the target. The Black Skull in the bow surprised him not to play, but too late for him to save himself.

Duarrrr, a violent explosion occurred when a grenade projectile hit the body of the boat. The boat immediately caught fire and lost control. The fire runs to the back.

Duarr, the hull of the boat exploded again violently. Creating a fire in the middle of the sea. I don't know what the fate of the people on that ship is anymore. All I saw was a blazing fire on each side.
