Ashgard: Ambition and Purpose
The Red Rascals #28

At 12:00 p.m.

Gates's Residence.

The sound of gunfire was heard several times and came from the backyard of the residence. Netty, Siska, and Nadia look very fun to train their shots there. There is a very wide shooting range and suitable as a place to practice.

The scorching sun was very burning skin, and made Nadia sweat. Netty also proposes to take a short break and lunch. Siska and Nadia followed the proposal. The three of them came back and walked to a very beautiful and cool park that was located just next to the shooting field.

It was there that Netty prepared everything for lunch and rest, of course assisted by Siska and Nadia. Nadia looks very happy with this kind of activity. Plus he was accompanied by two colleagues who had served together when he was still part of the police force.

"Given the past?" cetus Netty was sitting next to Nadia on a park bench just below a shady tree. While Siska looks fun looking at the flowers that bloom in the garden around it.

Nadia smiled hearing that. It's true that he remembers everything about the academy and about himself when he was a member of the police a few years ago. But it was all just a piece of memory and he could no longer repeat.

"Yes, we did the same activity during training, I remember it very much" Nadia said, commenting on her smile and bowed.

"It's been a long time, it's been five years but you still remember it," Siska walked up to the two of them and picked up a bottle of drink from a bag near Netty.

"Of course I won't forget those times" Nadia said.

"Oh yeah, Netty, you've been married to Prawira long enough, so when are you gonna have a baby?" siska suddenly chirped to Netty.

"It has only been running for almost a year, but also hastily," said Netty.

Siska nodded. Then he suddenly threw the same question to Nadia. "then ... What about you, Nadia? If I look around, you are very friendly with Berlin," Siska said in a very curious tone.

"Eh? I-i?!" Nadia was surprised by the question and what the colleague said. He was silent with a face that suddenly blushed when he heard it.

Netty laughed at the beautiful face that was starting to glow red. "Alright, Siska! Take control of that sense of yours, dong! Look, Nadia's face is until you make it red, huh!" he said then chuckled.

"Netty! You're actually defending me or defending Siska, anyway?" pekik Nadia, she felt embarrassed by her romantic relationship which suddenly became the topic of discussion between her two colleagues. Siska also laughed at the timid Nadia.

"Hehehe, yes, yes. Siska, don't be!" netty said, smiling at her two friends.

Nadia feels very happy today, because she can gather and joke with her two best friends. The two of them he had known since the police academy six years ago. Especially Netty who at that time had a role as his mentor and also Siska. He is the oldest of them all between himself and Siska.

DEG!

In the middle of that joking joke, Nadia suddenly held onto her stomach and felt an overwhelming nausea. Netty realized it instantly stopped all her jokes with Siska.

"Nadia, what's wrong?" ask Netty confused.

"L-it seems ... I have to .. go to the toilet for a while." Nadia immediately went away from there leaving her two best friends in a hurry.

Siska who witnessed it also felt confused by what happened to her partner. "Is he okay?" siska asked worriedly.

"I don't think so" Netty answered and went straight after Nadia to the toilet. He was afraid something would happen to one of his best friends. Siska followed behind.

While in the bathroom, Nadia was nauseous and spewed out everything she had swallowed before. But it did not take anything out of his mouth, just that the nausea was quite overwhelming. His head also felt dizzy and quite painful.

"Nadia, are you inside okay?"

Netty's voice was heard calling out to him right in front of the bathroom door. He seems very worried about his condition.

Moments later, Nadia came out of the bathroom with a slight stagger, and immediately met her two best friends. He felt much better than before, though his head still felt dizzy and he felt very tired.

"Hey, what happened to you?" siska asked looking anxiously at the woman who had just come out of the bathroom.

"Are you sick?" tanya Netty held onto Nadia's shoulder and then led her to walk.

They walked back to where they had rested. There Nadia was sat on the bench by Netty and given mineral water by Siska. Both of his friends seemed very attentive to him.

Netty let out a heavy sigh, "geez, you really worry us, Nadia," he said, embracing Nadia and sitting by her side.

"But it's really okay, isn't it? What if Berlin knew how? Is he gonna be mad at us?" cetus Siska seems very scary.

"Berlin will not be angry with you, you take it easy" said Nadia in a still limp tone.

"Calm down, Siska," said Netty still embracing her friend. He took out his cell phone from his pocket, and it was like sending word to someone.

At 13:00 p.m.

The City Hospital.

Kent finally regained consciousness after being moved from the operating room to the inpatient room. Berlin went to see his friend, and wanted to see his condition. When he approached Kent, who was lying on the bed. Kent suddenly said, "boss, we .. have three enemies" he said, glancing at Berlin.

Three enemies? Of course that became the Berlin question inside his head. But he did not want to so shower his weak colleague with questions.

Kimmy and Adam who happened to be with him were also confused. They thought about and kept the same question with Berlin.

"From the beginning Ashgard did have many enemies, Kent. It was a natural thing" said Berlin sitting in a chair right by the side of the bed.

"Haha, yes, too," Kent chuckled but in a still weak tone.

"I wonder what happened there, can you tell me?" tanya Berlin looked deeply at his partner who was still lying weakly. "But if you're still having trouble and don't want to answer right now, that's okay, the most important thing right now is your condition" he continued.

Without further ado, Kent answered the question. Although his condition was still weak and his tone of speech was also so limp after the operation. But he wanted to tell and tell everything he knew when it happened. Berlin carefully listened to the chronology told by his colleague.

"They were armed, chasing me and shooting at me. After I fell, one of them said that Ashgard was dealing with the wrong group, and that person told us to prepare for three groups at once."

"He also had time to say, that our lives will not be calm, we ... Even the closest people we have .. will be haunted constantly by them, will be haunted constantly by them, he said, until we surrender and recognize the power of Clone Nostra, or .. until we die."

"Do you remember that guy's face? Or its features?" Berlin asked after hearing all of those things. He looked very calm, even though the threats had been heard.

Kent shook his head and replied, "no, they're all wearing black masks, their most striking feature is the red jacket they're wearing."

"These traits are valid Red Rascals, there is no other crime group other than those who use such attributes" said Adam who was standing right next to Berlin.

"Hmm, three groups, huh?" berlin's mumbling seemed to think. He already knows two groups that are in trouble with Ashgard. Clone Nostra and Red Rascals. But one more group is still a question.

"Berlin, it seems like our situation is really serious, friends should know this in order to be more careful" said Kimmy who also stood on the side of Berlin.

"Yes, I know that" said Berlin but it looked so calm. "Kim, gather the friends at the headquarters immediately! I want to talk about this, "he asked later.

"Good, boss." Kimmy moved out of the hospital room, and then carried out the order.

Kent glanced and looked seriously at Berlin, then said, "boss, be careful! It seems they're looking for you too."

Berlin smiled faintly and replied, "calm down, I've always been careful since entering this dark world."

After he finished visiting his partner. Berlin immediately left the hospital and gathered with his colleagues at the headquarters. When he was in the car and was about to leave. Berlin looked at the contents of his phone and found a new incoming message that he had not read.

"Have the training finished? But why did Netty tell me?" murmured Berlin wondered while reading the message Netty had apparently sent him.
