Attracted By The Moon
Chapter 40: Sacrifice

Darren snatched the file Saras showed.

plaazms...!

"YAH!" Shouted Saras in pain, a bullet through his thigh. He staggered to the floor while holding the blood that kept flowing.

"Mother..!" Shouted Moon in fear.

Darren pointed his gun one by one towards all of them. "Since you guys messed up, I'll teach you a little lesson."

Bima was about to code the police, to enter the room. But he stopped when he saw his mother dragged out of the room.

Ayana was already held captive, her hands and mouth tied by black duct tape.

"Tell the police to leave this place, or this old woman I'm killing." Darren smiled coldly, he knew who had come there.

"Why are you doing this? Just give your victims money back. You think you can escape again..?!" Tukas Saras growled.

The words made Darren smile. "I should have shot your head."

"Hurry and get the police to leave this place..!" The screech to Bima.

Bima just gave the code by applause twice. A sign of the condition cannot be conquered.

12 The police and the general left the place immediately. They don't want any casualties, the rest they'll think about later.

Feeling like he got what he wanted. Darren put his gun in his pocket, he was about to leave the place.

"I'll tell you what your gifts are." Darren pressed the remote button, and the timer on the Moon vest instantly turned countdown.

The moon closed her eyes, she shed tears as she prayed.

"You guys have enough time, 20 minutes. Like I said, the bomb wasn't too violent. But it's permanent, if you try to stop it... OHHHHH!! He's gonna explode. Then run as far away as you can, before your bodies explode."

Darren threw the remote to the floor. He laughed happily leaving the place. Along with two of his men, Darren heads to the lobby to leave the place.

Ayana ran towards Bima, helped by Arkana she released duct tape that tied her hands and mouth.

"How is this?" His cry sobbed, he did not want the innocent Moon to be the victim.

"Dad, get me to the hospital quickly." Pinta Moon crying as she pleased.

"Can't we take that vest off?" Arkana called the general to come in and help them. No one cares about his appearance, which is just wearing a butt shirt, as well as pajama pants. He didn't even wash his face before he went there.

They're only 15 minutes away.

Arkana approached the Moon, and calmed it down. "Light be the Moon, we can definitely handle this.." He was also confused, because the rope that binds the Moon's body is also wrapped around the Bomb cable. If one steps wrong, then life is lost.

Before long the General and all the police went in there. He approached the Moon while researching what kind of bomb it was.

"We can take off the vest, but..." The General's words stopped.

"But what sir?" Cut Bima curious.

"Let's let go then." Arkana hastily.

"This is a bomb that was assembled using dynamite." Said the strong-bodied General.

"The mob says the explosion won't be big. We can leave it here. I called the extinguisher, too." Arkana insisted, their time was not much.

"The explosion will not be large, if there is a silencer. If we let these vests blow up empty, the explosion will destroy this building as well as the other occupants. With 10 minutes, we can't evacuate all the residents."

"You mean, the explosion wouldn't have been huge if my body had exploded in this vest?" Tanya Moon hesitated.

The general nodded slowly, now he managed to remove the vest. "Maybe all of us here will also be destroyed."

Everyone was silent, there was no way they would throw the vest out. Because there are many buildings and houses around the apartment.

"If anyone puts a damper, how powerful is the explosion?" Ask Raul.

"If the door of this room is closed, then the radius is not too big." Answer the General.

"All of you, get out of here. Moon, help your mother." Raul approached the General, took the vest.

"Let me muffle, save yourselves." He said confidently, looking deeply at the moon. He will never let a loved one get hurt again.

"Raul...?!" Saras does not accept, he does not want Raul to sacrifice himself.

"Dad..." The Moon shed tears. Although the figure of Raul is very bad for him, but the affection given by Raul since he was a child is so attached. How Raul loved him so much, even though he was not Raul's real son.

"Go quickly..!" Tukas Raul's.

"Better we all get out of here." Said the General, he told Raul to run away as well.

"There is no time, go General. I'm in charge here, because it's my family's life!"

"Raul, no! Don't do that..! We need to get out of here together." Pinta Saras, he was in pain from the gunshot. But he couldn't leave Raul there.

"No.. Dad.." The Moon cried out, indeed he really wanted Raul to leave his life. But not in this tragic way.

"Hurry on..!" Sergey Raul. He hugged the vest attached to the bomb.

"Let's aunt, there's no time." Bima also dragged Saras from there. If the bomb is not muted, then before they snarl from the building they will first become ashes.

With a heavy heart, the General relinquished that responsibility. He ran out of the room first to evacuate the occupants, whose rooms were close to the room.

"DAD....!" The moon screams. This was the last time he saw the man's face, before Bima closed the door.

The moon lost all her strength, she could only give up crying as she cried when her body was lifted by Arkana.

They all ran off the floor.

"Through the stairs! Electricity will die when the bomb explodes...!" The general shouted at the few occupants from that floor.

Inside the room, Raul sat hugging Bom. He made sure to dampen the explosion as much as possible, so that the Moon could get out of there safely.

The countdown is three seconds...

1.....

2....

3....

DUUA.......!!!

A powerful explosion gushed out powerfully. Along with Raul's body which was destroyed by fire. Instantly the room was filled with flames. Power outages, some devices that are still connected to the electronics explode adding to the increasingly violent fire rampage. The fire broke through the unlocked door. Plumes of red flames like tongues protruded from the room.

The moon saw him, he watched the flames rage. As Arkana descends carrying her body, the view is lost.

"I'm sorry dad.." Slowly, he could not imagine how much pain Raul had gotten from the explosion.

He buried his face on Arkana's shoulder. Both of his hands squeezed firmly into the man's nape. His breathing slowly weakened.

"You okay...?" The Whisper of the Moon to Arkana. He found a bruise on the Arkana temple. Maybe it was obtained when Arkana was fighting in the hallway.

The moon could feel Arkana's breath. The man ran very fast down the stairs. Embracing himself very tightly.

"We're not all right..." Arkana with heavy breathing. He witnessed how chaotic today, due to the Six Million Dollar.

Ayana loses her money, Saras is shot, Moon is about to die, and Raul has now become a shred of ash. Who's doing okay now?

Ayana cried as she pleased, while touching Saras' body. Now he has destroyed the family of others. He even lost his money.

"That piggy bank4n ruined my life..!" Rutuknya.

...~~...

Darren and his men arrived at their residence. The mansion appeared to be standing gallantly, as if welcoming Darren's victory.

"It looks like they're all ashes now hahahaha...." He laughed with satisfaction, for the umpteenth time he managed to get rid of the pest.

Now that he can live a quiet life, he will continue his mission. Build his own cartel and throne, from the pile of money he got from the results of the robbing.

"Move our money to an overseas bank. After that..."

tit.tit...it...

That loud voice cut through Darren's words.

"What's that?" Darren looked around, looking around. He told his men to find the source of the voice.

On top of the piano, they found a bomb that was 10 times the size of the large bomb in the vest.

"Get out..!" Pekik Darren's men.

They all ran off the ridge leaving the room. But only a few seconds.

ODDUUUAAAARR.....!!!

A terrible explosion destroyed the mansion. His strength was 100 times fiercer than what happened in the apartment. There was nothing left, the house and the whole people who were there were completely consumed by the flames.

200 Meters from the house, Mr. Tara smiled with satisfaction. It was like watching a giant fireworks show.

"Thank you for the cooperation." He shook the hand of someone, who was his best friend.

"Take this in return for my bud." The white-haired man accepted Tara's handshake, happily. He is a retired soldier. Assembling the Bomb was already like an art to him.

Tara once again smiled with satisfaction. This is a reply to the man who dared to disturb his daughter, the Moon. Yes, is Saras' ex-lover, as well as the biological father of the Moon.

He monitored the Saras family. He deliberately recruited Moon in his company, in order to get closer. All he knew was that Saras, Moon, and Raul were living happily. That is why he did not want to reveal his identity, because he did not want to disturb the happiness of the family.
