Ashgard: Ambition and Purpose
Quiet Situation #243
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Prawira again received a report of a firefight that occurred in the Commercial District. When he first heard the second report had arrived, he immediately rushed out of the courtroom to the tent resting right next to the medical tent in the courtyard next to the courthouse.
"What's the situation?" cetus Prawira when the first to shade under the tent and immediately met with his secretary, Netty.
Netty again reported on the developments taking place in the Commercial District. He has received many reports from several members, and then summarizes and records them on his tablet.
"It seems like there is nothing to worry about, because Ashgard has taken over the situation in the Commercial District," Netty said, then handed over the tablet she had brought with her to be read and seen by Prawira.
Prawira received the object, and then read and see some reports that have been attached to the screen. But in the middle of the man reading some attachments to the report he received, a follow-up report suddenly appeared.
A male officer in charge of the communications division suddenly came forward with a statement, "sorry to interrupt, but I think there's something you need to see, sir."
Prawira along with Netty immediately followed the steps of the members, out of the tent, heading to a caravan owned by the police parked in the front yard. Inside the caravan there are several other officers who indeed their work desk is in the caravan.
"Five minutes ago, we were monitoring an inter-group meeting that took place after the shootout in the Commercial District was over" police said, sending Prawira and Netty into the caravan.
Inside the car there are several monitor screens, and on one of the screens can be seen the recording of images taken from police helicopters. The footage shows two men in black coats standing opposite Clone Nostra and Cassano. The location is right in front of the shopping center in the district.
"Prawira, look ...!" Netty pointed to one of the two men in the black coat, and found that the man she was pointing at was standing with the aid of a stick.
Prawira looked seriously and nodded, "obviously, it's him" he said. Although it is not so clear the faces of the two men who were there, because the footage was taken from a distance and height. But based on the gesture and stature he saw, he knew very well who the two men standing there were, especially the man who used the stick.
"They're like they're talking about something there, but we don't know what they're talking about" Netty muttered as she slowly folded her arms.
"Do you need a police officer to come in?" cetus the previous apparatus, asked Prawira.
Prawira swiftly refused by answering, "no, not first! Let's just trust them both."
Prawira's gaze still could not be separated from the recording that was broadcast live. In his mind it was undeniable how much he wanted to know what the conversation was between them. Because those people in white and purple clothes looked quite tense when faced with the two people in black coats.
"Well," said Netty, then immediately went to look for a device in the caravan.

"Berlin, this is a really bad situation" Carlos whispered as he stood right next to Berlin, under the still-drenched raindrop, and in front of two groups namely Clone Nostra and Cassano.
"Yes, I know, you take it easy, this is just a greeting" said Berlin in a low tone and a very calm attitude.
The current situation of the district has regained its calm, with many people in red jackets killed and fleeing the crossfire that had occurred. After the Red Rascals were no longer visible, leaving only a few of those captured as well as their bodies lying on the street. Now only the Clone Nostra and Cassano are currently directly facing Berlin and Carlos.
Obviously the people in front of Berlin and Carlos at the moment are dangerous people, even in this second they did not release their firearms and could have shot without warning towards Berlin or Carlos. A few seconds passed, and then a man in a white jacket stepped forward from his fellow Clone Nostra and Cassano, facing Berlin and Carlos. At that time also some Ashgard colleagues slowly gathered and stood behind Berlin, although not all because to anticipate things that are not-no.
The atmosphere was very cold, as if there was a cold war and a truce between the two sides. Clone Nostra and Cassano look very wary of the existence and presence of Ashgard there, and vice versa. Tension ensued, even as the two sides prepared each other with their firearms should anyone start a war.
Berlin looked back, and watched some of his comrades present behind him and they all looked quite raised their pistols. In a relaxed and very calm manner, the man said, "down and hang out your weapons, we don't want to shoot here."
Hearing what was said by Berlin, of course immediately obeyed by his colleagues despite holding doubts to make the request. But they did, and followed, as Berlin had requested.
"Carlos, do you know him ...?" berlin whispered, already looking back to the front, more precisely looking towards a man in a white jacket who was currently standing five meters in front of him. The man is arguably very young, seen once from his handsome face that still shows that he is still a teenager.
Carlos answered the question, "he is Clovis El Claunius, probably the only one left of the Claunius family after Tokyo was captured" he said in a low tone and whispered, no one could hear him but himself and Berlin.
"Clovis ...?" berlin muttered with one eyebrow raised, indicating that he was quite interested in the young man.
