Ashgard: Ambition and Purpose
Purple Jacket #34

Still on the same day, but the time has shown at five in the afternoon. Berlin has just finished with its affairs in the City Hall. About the plan, and all the talk that was done. He already knows everything. Now it is her who makes the decision. Moreover, he felt he still had problems with Nicolaus and Clone Nostra that were not finished.

When Berlin was about to walk to his car parked in the courtyard of the City Hall. Suddenly his phone rang, and the person who called him was one of his trusted associates.

"Acque? Tumben once?"

Berlin frowned. He was confused, could anything be important? It was usually Kimmy who called him, and even that was to report all the affairs about Ashgard. Asep rarely contacted him.

Without further ado, he immediately picked up the phone.

"Boss, nasty! Kimmy and Kina are under siege!"

How shocked Berlin was to hear what Asep had to say. He was confused as to what was really going on.

"Huh? Whahuh? How's that supposed?!" berlin was very confused to hear this news.

"Just join the radio, boss! I'll explain it briefly" said Asep.

This news is very sudden. Berlin ended the call and wanted to join his communications radio. At the same time, Garwig came up to him and said, "I thought you were home?" But those words instantly changed when he saw Berlin's bewildered and panicked face. "Is something going on?" tanyanya.

Berlin answered and explained it to Garwig a little. After hearing about the news of what happened to one of Berlin's colleagues. Garwig immediately took his decision and action.

Berlin immediately spurred high speed on the car he was driving. In the middle of the journey, something suddenly flashed on his mind. He took the time to reach for his phone lying on the bench next to him.

"Berlin's? I just wanted to send word that I'm done checking."

There was a woman's voice that was none other than Nadia's wife. Berlin hasn't said a word. Nadia spoke first. His tone sounded like a happy person. But it was unthinkable and unnoticed by Berlin.

Keep focusing on driving. Berlin spoke to the phone in a calm tone. "Thank God then. How outcome? Your condition's fine, isn't it?" Although his tone was calm. But there is a worry behind it.

Nadia sounded clumsy enough to answer him. "I-I'm fine, the doctor said, so we have a lot of rest" he replied, trying to hide the actual results from Berlin. He wanted to surprise me about it.

Berlin sighed then said, "honey, it seems like tonight I can't have dinner with you. I'm sorry, huh?"

Nadia remained silent. He holds his sadness and disappointment. But this has often happened before. "Is there a problem?" tanyakanya.

"Yes, and it looks like I'm also going home very late tonight" Berlin replied.

Berlin hasn't disconnected that voice call. Nadia remained silent for a few seconds.

"Is ... the problem it deals with ... Nostra Clone?" Nadia suddenly threw the question in a low tone filled with worry.

To be honest Berlin still does not know what really happened, and whether this has anything to do with Clone Nostra. But it seems he has made his wife worried. He replied, "no, really. Just relax!" yells.

"Yes already, deh. You stay careful, yeah! I'm waiting for you at home" Nadia said slightly sighing in relief when she heard the answer.

Berlin smiled at her, "yes, baby. I'll be careful" he replied, then made Nadia's heart feel calm to hear the answer.

Arriving at Berlin's Ashgard headquarters. He immediately found all his colleagues were getting ready. He walked over to Asep and asked for clarity on what was going on. In this place, he also could not see Kimmy's whereabouts.

Asep explained briefly while preparing the gun and its equipment. So did Adam who also helped make everything clear.

"The location is currently in the Eastern suburbs of the City. The two of them had no intention and purpose other than just for sightseeing. But in the middle, they were suddenly inhibited by people in purple jackets," said Asep.

"Then how are they doing now?" berlin asked as he picked up and prepared his gun.

"They had fled to the Southeast District, and now .. they were cornered on one of the docks there," Adam replied.

Berlin nodded in understanding after listening to that little explanation. Although he does not know the exact chronology. But broadly speaking he knew that his two comrades were in danger, and his opponent this time was the purple-jacketed ones.

Adam knows and knows the intricacies of the location of the pier where Kimmy and Kina are located. Of course this made Berlin a little easier to give his directions and orders to his colleagues.

"Here you go, you can't escape anymore" said a man in his purple jacket approaching Kimmy and Kina who had been cornered at the end of the pier. Behind him were many of his friends who followed him.

The man did not wear a mask or mask to seal the identity of his face, unlike his comrades who stood behind him. That way, Kina and Kimmy can see and remember the man's face. But even so, the two of them looked quite frightened. Because they know who they're dealing with right now. The wicked numbered not one or two, but more than ten, and they were all armed.

"Kneel, you guys!" pinta, one of the men's comrades, pointed at his firearm.

There is no other way and choice but to obey and be cooperative for a while. Kimmy and Kina knelt at the end of the pier, then slightly lowered their heads. They just hope help will come soon. Their expectations were huge, no matter whether the police or Berlin and his friends came to their aid.

"Hey, I think I know you," said the first gentleman's coolly as he approached and slowly raised Kimmy's chin. When he looked at the man in front of him very closely. Kimmy is taken aback by knowing who the man is currently before her.

"What do you want, Kibo Gates Matrix?" asked Kimmy though a little trembling when staring at the sharpness of the man's eyes. Kina who was kneeling down and was beside him was taken aback when she heard the name.

The man was silent hearing his name called. But it didn't seem like it was for the one fellow beside him who looked extremely angry when he heard that name. "How dare you mention that name!"

THE PLAQUE!!

Suddenly, a slap landed on Kimmy's left cheek, causing him to fall in pain. The one who slapped him was the companion of the man he called by the name of Kibo.

"What are you doing! How dare you hit a woman! Motherfucker! Goddamnit!" peekik Kina was very angry, she had wanted to hit the man. But his efforts were broken because some of his fellow men immediately silenced and tightly tied his hands behind his back.

"I'm sorry, he does like women at will" the man named Kibo told Kimmy and Kina. His eyes looked towards Kimmy who looked in pain as he held onto his left cheek. There was no mercy in the eyes of the man.

"Are you okay?" tanya Kina approached Kimmy beside her. He could see the red marks left behind by the extremely violent slap.

"I'm fine," replied Kimmy trying to be brave and tough, despite the sight of her two teary eyes after getting the slap. Both hands are still holding his left cheek which still hurts.

"What do you want?! Are you satisfied with seeing my friend in pain?!" Kina snapped at the purple-robed people standing before her. They all seem to be carrying weapons. But it did not scare him into speaking in a high tone and getting carried away by emotions.

The man named Kibo again approached the two women kneeling before him, especially to Kimmy. He said, "i just want one thing ." he said, looking at the silver pistol he was holding. Several times he blew and wiped the gun with his fingers.

"I just want to .. meet with Berlin. Can it? Can you make Berlin come here? And I want him to come alone without his friends."

Kimmy who was downcast glanced sharply at the man who was now standing in front of her. The man approached him, then gave his phone back to him who had previously been snatched away by the fellows of the man. He was told to call Berlin directly, and asked his male colleagues to come here alone.

"I know those purple-jacketed men," muttered Berlin staring intently at the purple-robed crowd that cornered her two female colleagues.

Berlin had reached the location where his two comrades were now cornered and kneeling at the end of the pier. He monitored and saw all of it from a distance, precisely from the top of an abandoned warehouse that was located quite far from the dock.

"Boss, do you have a plan?" Asep asked him over the radio communication he was carrying.

Berlin has given direction to all its colleagues to spread to various sides. Now the decision is in his hands. They are waiting for his next order. Prepare with firearms and equipment that has been brought. All of his comrades looked very prepared against those purple-jacketed people. Although they know, the position of Ashgard is not greatly benefited in terms of numbers.

Berlin looked with an unbearable look at his two female colleagues who seemed to kneel in fear there. His eyes were fixed on Kimmy who looked painfully holding onto his cheek.

"What time is it?" ask Berlin to his partner standing next to him.

Adam who heard the question was confused. "Um, hour .. seven past fifteen minutes night" he answered.

"Seven o'clock twenty-five minutes, we'll move there. You get the car ready from now on!" Berlin said and gave his orders with his cold flat face. In a black pistol holster hanging from his waist. A black pistol mixed with silver was ready. The gun was also loaded with several bullets to the brim, so Berlin could use it whenever he wanted.

Berlin took a slow breath. Then say by itself, "Cassano, huh? About who, yeah, is the leader of that group?" he said with a sharp view inseparable from the people in purple jackets on the dock there.
