Ashgard: Ambition and Purpose
Back away for a moment #74

The city situation in the evening before tonight was really made very vulnerable with three robbery cases in a short time. People take refuge in safe and comfortable places, as well as some crucial places such as hospitals, city halls, and some public places are very closely guarded by the authorities with complete weaponry.

For the robbery situation that occurred in Bank Central Metro slightly subsided, but not yet finished. The captives were freed and rescued, but some failed to be rescued as they were among the gunfights. Some of the wounded civilians were rushed to hospital and received intensive care.

The robberies at Shandy Shell and Paletown have not yet subsided. Police negotiators are still fighting for the lives of the hostages to be rescued. For now, the police have no choice but to obey what the perpetrators want.

"What's the status there?" Prawira asked the two negotiators who were in Paletown and Shandy Shell

"Not yet to see a bright spot" replied the negotiator who was at Shandy Shell.

"It's still hard, sir," replied the negotiator who was in Paletown.

"While we try to grant their request, and our objective is that the captives are safe!" Prawira.

Prawira's position is currently inside of a police caravan parked not far from the Central Bank Metro, where the first robbery took place. He was really made dizzy, because he had to handle the same three cases but with a large enough scale at the same time.

"Sir, the fellow officers are ready, just waiting for the direction!" an officer in all-black tactical clothes with creepy-looking weapon equipment came and reported to Prawira.

"Hold the hostages at Shandy Shell and Paletown were rescued!" sahut Prawira said that.

"Good, sir!"

Until now, the inside of the building in front of the Prawira caravan is still controlled by the perpetrators. Prawira believes that the perpetrators in there can easily communicate with the perpetrators who are making the same case in the other two regions. Therefore he did not want to take the risk too high to carry out the execution of the perpetrators in there. Because he assumed that if he did, then the lives of prisoners in two different areas could be at stake.

"Damn it!"

BraakK!!

Again Prawira hit a table in the caravan quite hard. He was really upset because he felt he was being played by Clone Nostra, more precisely the police who were being played.

"Sorry, sir. If I may suggest, we follow the request of one of the perpetrators who wants us to pull back." Netty spoke with a fairly gentle intonation and apologized before speaking.

Indeed, one of the perpetrators asked that the police retreat and they could just run away. The request was briefly addressed by one of the perpetrators in there during a negotiation before the prisoners in the building were rescued.

"If it continues like this, we can easily be broken apart by them. We also do not know whether there is a part of them outside of this ongoing case, and what they plan to do next" continued Netty who is now standing next to him.

Prawira began to think about it, and then contacted Garwig to propose advice from Netty. He used his cell phone to contact Garwig.

But it seems that the suggestion was slightly rejected by Garwig but also slightly accepted. It seems Garwig has her own plan.

"We will not back down completely. Once the hostages are safe, we hit them inside!" said Prawira seemed big enough to immediately give a lesson to the gunmen in the building. He got out of the car with his vest and equipment.

"You just wait here, I need you here!" prawira said to Netty, who followed him to the back door of the caravan.

"Be careful, and return safely!" sahut Netty with that anxious look.

Prawira turned around and smiled at the woman as she said, "of course I will be careful," and then it went in the direction where there were already its members lined up behind barricades of steel cars made to cover from the inside view of the building.

The officers numbering more than thirty seemed ready to march there. They just have to wait for the next direction from Prawira. Not only thirty people there who Prawira prepared, but there are also dozens of officers who are on standby in the outer row of the perimeter who are ready to enter if needed.

Prawira gave his coordination and direction in front of his members. He devised a plan to ambush the building, and then take over the building and take the perpetrators.

But before the planned ambush was carried out, Prawira gave the direction to retreat first and made the perpetrators think that the police were following their wishes.

"Whatever happens, knock them out and catch them alive if you can! Prioritize the safety of yourself and your comrades, and do not return if any of your comrades are left behind!" prawira's loud voice boomed in front of the members. He really strongly emphasized this to his fellow officers.

All coordination and briefing has been done and completed. Now all that was left was a matter of time, he had to be patient first and wait for more information about the captives in the other two places.

***

Fifteen minutes had passed, and local time showed seven o'clock in the evening. The very quiet atmosphere of the night was tinged with quite a dire situation. There is no further information on the success or failure of the negotiating team to release the hostages. Prawira is still waiting for information from them, and goes through with his plan.

For a time, the police chose to retreat from the scene a few blocks away until it could not be seen by the perpetrators. Prawira and his tactical units have been preparing in several corners of the alleys and city buildings. It was completely ready to carry out an ambush leading to the Bank Central Metro building which is still controlled by the perpetrators.

Police helicopters reported that more than thirty people were inside the building. Hearing the report, Prawira was made quite trembling. Because he knew and believed that the number was not up to five percent of the total number of Clone Nostra.

"Izin gave a report, sir. Hostages from the Shandy Shell bank robbery and Paletown have been successfully secured, and we have permission to pull back for a moment at the request of the perpetrators."

Reports from the team of negotiators who had been waiting since then were finally heard through Prawira's communications radio.

"All right, everybody get ready in position!" pinta Prawira with a speech intonation that sounds so calm and cold to all members who will be involved through the radio.
