Ashgard: Ambition and Purpose
Paying for Information #7

"What do you need to do coming here?" asked a man in a black leather jacket and an eagle emblem on his arm. The man appeared to be highly respected by the members of the existing motorcycle gang.

Berlin calmly replied, "i just want to ask, and confirm something." His calm in a dangerous situation, it was very suspected by the motorcycle gang.

The personnel of the motorcycle gang is very many, even more than Ashgard personnel who only amounted to 14 people. And all the motorcycle gang personnel were armed.

All three of Berlin's confidants seemed unsettled, plus all the eyes of the motorcycle gang members stared intently at them with a gaze full of vigilance and wanted to kill.

"Come on, I don't feel good" Asep murmured as his hand felt a pouch to slightly grab his gun.

Berlin who knew Asep's actions immediately stopped him by just glancing sharply at his colleague. Asep stopped his actions which would probably put the four of them in a much more dangerous situation.

"Hows it? Can I ask you guys something?" berlin asked kindly to the man who appeared to be the chairman of the biker gang.

"Ashgard is now part of the police force, how can we guarantee security and confidentiality?" asked the man, looking intently at Berlin.

Berlin returned the gaze with a calm look, and then replied, "even so, we still have our own principles and stance as a group."

"And I .. can guarantee the security and confidentiality of the location of your existence from the police," continued Berlin.

The motorcycle gang leader again asked, "if we fulfill your request. Then ... what benefits do we get?"

Berlin smiled faintly at the question he thought was trivial. He replied, "i have prepared something good for you, if you would and would cooperate with us."

"What's that 'something? We need to know first!" the head of the motorcycle gang.

"Something it is .. There is an item, and there is a nominal. And maybe these two things are what's needed for your group." Berlin answered him immediately after the question he heard.

The head man of the motorcycle gang also looked at Berlin with a look of trust, but also a little suspicious. He seemed to believe because Berlin's attitude was so calm and his glance and eyes were not suspicious.

"All right, what do you want?" ask the motorcycle gang boss to Berlin. His fellow motorcycle gangs also seemed to lower their suspicions and vigilance towards Berlin.

Feeling of getting approval to confirm some of his suspicions. Berlin who did not want to talk immediately gave some sensitive questions about Clone Nostra to the motorcycle gang.

"You guys did the robbery at the branch bank earlier today, and some robbery earlier, right?" cetus Berlin showed some photographic evidence brought by Kimmy.

Seen the people of the motorcycle gang were very surprised and immediately stared intently at Berlin with a look of wanting to kill him on the spot. But the motorcycle gang leader eased the anger of his men by only raising one hand.

"Yes, right. It was my people who did it" the motorcycle gang leader replied. "But, for the mini market robbery yesterday was not from us. We don't even know what group they are from" he continued.

"Mini market?" berlin's murmur twitched his forehead.

"My people no one owns a car as luxurious as the perpetrators of the mini market robbery" said the man.

Berlin had glanced at his three colleagues when he heard this. He was suspicious of his statements and confessions.

"Well, then can you explain this?" Berlin immediately asked the second question, showing a photograph depicting three of the perpetrators in leather jackets, and a silvery-white pistol.

Instantly the atmosphere was quiet and cold. There was no sound at all after Berlin asked and asked for an explanation of the photo. The head of the biker gang as well as all of his men looked fixated and shocked. Even the three Berlin confidants were shocked when Berlin asked for an explanation about the gun used in the photo at the scene of the robbery.

"Hows it? Can't you answer that?" cetus Berlin interrupted the silence and looked coldly at the man before him.

"Um, I hate this atmosphere" whispered Adam glancing towards Asep who was standing beside him.

"Yes, me too" Asep whispered.

The head of the motorcycle gang seemed to sigh and then said, "I admit .. You are indeed observant, Berlin."

"The gun is not ours, we have a classy and luxurious pistol like that. It's just a loan."

Berlin raised one eyebrow and muttered, "loan, huh?"

"Yes, Clone Nostra lent it." The head of the motorcycle gang spoke so immediately.

Berlin felt his guess was right. "Clone Nostra? Do you have any connection to the syndicate?" ask Berlin then.

"What do I get, and what assurance do we get if I answer it?" the head of the motorcycle gang. He does not seem to want to divulge or provide information for free.

"You underestimated me?" Berlin smiled faintly. He took out a small black box from his hoodie pocket, and then said, "the thing in this box you'll get."

"We were paid by them to do all that" said the head of the motorcycle gang.

Berlin glanced at his three colleagues when he heard the answer. Getting paid? The guess that Berlin had previously thought of.

At 22:20 p.m.

Ashgard Headquarters.

When you are finished and satisfied with what you get. Berlin soon returned to his base along with his comrades. He came home without his hands. He got what he wanted. Not to forget Berlin also paid for all the information he got.

"Thank God everything is safe" Kimmy murmured.

"Everyone, thanks for today, please enjoy your night time!" Berlin disbanded his comrades to take time to rest or to do what they liked.

"Ready, boss."

"Good."

Some of his comrades disbanded and left the headquarters. While some more seem to still want to spend their time at the headquarters. Berlin just let it go.

"From the beginning they looked quite disinclined with Berlin" Asep said, sitting on a sofa in the main room.

"I know that, so I want to try to make the most of my impression" said Berlin, sitting on the same sofa as Asep.

"Um, means .. we now know .. if the robbery cases were the work of Clone Nostra who paid the biker gang to do the dirty work." Adam picked up a canned drink from the fridge in the back, and then sat down on the couch with his partner.

"But we still don't know where the exact whereabouts of the Clone Nostra are" said Kimmy, who was standing and leaning on a sofa right next to Berlin.

"But I think it's enough for today, I .. um.. we got some valuable information that's important to us." Berlin looked quite tired and leaned against the sofa.

Adam suddenly nudged Berlin with his elbow and said, "what time is it? You didn't go straight home?" he said while glancing at his partner.

"Before a minute" replied Berlin.

"Kim, I'd like to take note" Sasha said, walking over to Kimmy along with Kina and Vhalen.

"Oh, fine." Kimmy immediately responded, he walked with his colleagues to the safe room in the back.

"Dam, the drinks are still there, right?" cetus Asep moved from his couch.

"Take it in the fridge!" adam Sahut.

"Boss, what about the island? And how did the police respond?" asep asked as he opened a small refrigerator and took two canned drinks from it.

"I don't know, Prawira hasn't told me anything about the island" Berlin replied.

Asep walked back and gave one of his canned drinks to Berlin, then sat down next to him.

"We used to be confused looking for activities for groups, but now we have tasks to do. I still don't believe this" Adam murmured.

"Yes, we are often confused looking for activities, but in the past our activities were mostly dealing with other groups, for some reason we used to be nudged and bullied." Asep added to what Adam said.

"If we remember correctly, we were more often oppressed, because in the eyes of those groups we are the new child in the dark world" continued Berlin.

The light conversation continues. Several times they recalled the early days in which Ashgard was formed. The times in which Ashgard was considered and belittled by most criminal groups.

In the middle of the conversation, Berlin suddenly thought of something. "Sep, can you take care of all those unresolved robbery cases?" berlin suddenly thought about it.

"Madam? For me it could take care of it, even make the police just clean up the rest," Asep replied.

"Alright, then take care of it right away!"
