That afternoon, Juan's party returned to Jakarta on a charter plane. Bodyguard escort is getting tightened, besides Kevin the mercenaries who helped them also go together. Juan and Adrian ask Kevin to get into the security team. Kevin's job is to protect Zie without Zie knowing. They will set up a strategy for it.
The plane landed safely at Soekarno Hatta Airport, Juan and his entourage were picked up by a black limousine with bulletproof glass. Inside the limousine sat Juan, Adrian, Zie and Kevin while Blue sat in the front seat along with the driver.
"Zie, how are you? is it still a headache?" juan asked, starting a conversation.
"I've recovered, tomorrow I can return to duty" replied Zie lightly. Juan, Adrian and Kevin exchanged glances. "Well, what are you hiding?" asked Zie who was suspicious to see their behavior.
"Ti.nothing to hide." Answer Juan.
"Zie, look at Juan!" Adrian told Zie to look at Juan who immediately obeyed him. "You see Juan's shoulder is still injured. In addition many incision wounds were hit by thorns on his body as well." Zie nodded his head a sign that he could see all those wounds.
"With Juan's condition not very good, it means Juan will rest at home and will not travel. We as an automatic security team will guard also at home. In the meantime, you can also rest to restore the condition. Blue and I will continue the investigation into Bimo Anggoro." Adrian said the thing he had discussed with Juan actually.
"Betul Zie, I think I need to rest a few days before I go back to the office. Some work can still be handled by others, if there is anything I have to handle directly I can do from home." Juan assures Zie that he is the one who wants to rest.
"Well, if so, but I'd like to be involved if anything new is known during the investigation." Zie gave a pleading look at Adrian, Adrian of course would be devastated.
"I will definitely tell you every development in the investigation, you take it easy." Adrian looks at Zie with guilt for hiding the fact that their target is now Zie, but it is okay for him to do it for good.
Kevin who sat quietly between them noticed Zie who currently looked weak and understood why Adrian did not want to tell him the truth. Zie looks stubborn and certainly will not want to be set or limited. Kevin heard about Zie's prowess as a bodyguard, but had never seen him in person. Although from what Zie did while on the island to survive was already quite extraordinary, but Kevin wanted to see with his own eyes the prowess of the stubborn girl who was in front of him at this time. She wanted to know if the story she had heard was simply exaggerated or indeed the fact that Zie was a great woman.
Juan who realized Kevin was watching Zie intently felt uncomfortable. Juan is worried Kevin will be his rival to get Zie. Actually Juan does not want a great and handsome Kevin to escort Zie, but what can be done is Adrian's decision. Adrian already believes strongly in Kevin's ability, because they have known each other for a long time. If Juan had the ability that Kevin has, of course Juan would have protected Zie and could have been closer to Zie. Thinking of this, Juan smiled wryly.
Finally the limousine that took them arrived at Juan's residence. Zie was immediately told to rest in one of the rooms that had indeed been his bedroom since before. Adrian, Juan, Kevin and Blue promised to have a secret meeting tonight. They don't want Zie to come along, because what they're going to discuss is the technicalities for Zie's security. They had to do that without Zie realizing it of course.
"We gathered tonight because to discuss what had happened on the way to Maluku yesterday. All four of us here already know what really happened." Adrian stared one by one to make sure they understood what Adrian meant.
"As is well known, initially the target of the BEE syndicate was the CEO of Mahaputra group, this is related to the nickel mining that will soon be carried out by the Mahaputra group. The actions of those who are usually very careful and do not take down many people because to protect their identity suddenly become striking. Boldly they attacked on board the ship which continued with the attack on the island. It's so far from their character." Juan, Blue and Kevin listen to Adrian carefully.
"What caused them to be in a hurry?" Blue asked.
"They are in a hurry because there is one member of the BEE syndicate who managed to recognize Zie's identity at the inauguration party of the Mahaputra mining subsidiary group." Answer Adrian.
"What does everything have to do with Zie?" blue asked confusedly.
"I haven't told anyone about this, except Juan I've talked about it with other people. Including my team members in the Agency. It has to do with Zie's true identity." Juan knew silence. Blue seemed to be thinking about many things in his head while Kevin looked ordinary.
"Zie is actually the biological daughter of Wiranata Utama, CEO of the Utama group who had business in media and agriculture.8 years ago, he said, the eldest daughter of Utama named Natha who is also my wife started the mining business. The BEE syndicate kidnaps Natha and Zie, who see him stalking them, but Zie's whereabouts are soon discovered. As a result, Zie was arrested by them. The next day they are found by the beach with Natha lifeless while Zie survives but loses some of her memory." There was sadness in Adrian's eyes when he told her. Blue looked shocked and a little incredulous. Blue knew the story of the tragedy 8 years ago, because there was news in the media. Blue never expected that Zie would experience any of that.
"Zie was the only living witness of the incident 8 years ago. Due to repeated attempts at assassination Zie was eventually sent to China. Zie in China studied various martial arts techniques and used weapons. Zie decides to become a bodyguard because in his memory one of the bodyguards escorting Natha is involved in the kidnapping. Zie recalled the tattoo that read BEE on their body. Zie decides to investigate the case himself by posing as a bodyguard. Worried that Zie would join another agency because she did have the ability, I decided to recruit Zie at my agency. By being in my agency, I can protect Zie while investigating with the Zie syndicate to avenge us." Blue recalled that she also read the eldest daughter of the main group who died while she was pregnant. Adrian looks very hurt.
Kevin looked at the sadness in Adrian's eyes. Kevin recalled 8 years ago when he first met Adrian in America, Adrian told him what he had experienced about the loss of his wife and child. A tragic incident that almost drove him crazy, that's when Adrian decided to join the mercenaries until finally returning to Indonesia 3 years ago and set up a bodyguard agency to make up for his guilty feelings of failing to protect his wife and future children.
"Because Zie's whereabouts have been revealed, the BEE syndicate has decided to finish off Zie immediately. They were worried that Zie would reveal their identity. For now Zie has not realised that their target has changed from Juan to him. I purposely didn't tell Zie about this. Zie is very stubborn and he will not like to be regulated and limited in his movements let alone controlled. Zie would be reckless if he knew that he was his main target. That's why we're gathered here. For a while because the BEE syndicate changed their goal of eating Juan's safety not under threat, it doesn't mean we're lowering our vigilance. Right now their main goal is Zie. Whatever happens we have to protect Zie without Zie realizing it." Adrian told me their purpose for gathering tonight.
"Me and Adrian have decided that Zie, Blue and Kevin will be my bodyguards. Kevin is the bodyguard for Zie. So we're going to do the usual thing, the difference is that Kevin is joining us. The other bodyguards will still be in vain, but they will not know the true facts. As we know there are still BEE syndicate spies among them. So we need to be more careful." Juan told me the plan he had already put together with Adrian. Blue actually wanted to say that he was the one who would protect Zie, but it didn't seem like the right thing to say.
After speaking at length for almost two hours, Adrian finally ended their meeting. Tomorrow morning, they will begin their plan for Zie's escort. Hopefully things will go as well as they expected.
