DEATH WARRANT
AIKO

Aiko Sarwosri, Hotel Hockey Purnama. 11.25. Tuesday, the 10th. Five days before the deadline.

''Good day, ''' I said to Aiko who was standing gracefully behind the reception desk.

''Siang..,'' both eyes noticed so sharply. ''Is there anything I can help?''

''We are from the police,'' I issued a KTA(Member Sign Card). ''Could you please take a minute!''

''Yes, of course,'' he nodded slowly.

Aiko Sarvosri. I asked Riko to call him. Right now Riko and I are waiting for him in the special room available at the hotel. His face was so pale after seeing the identity card I showed. Only one came out of my mind. He knew the police would meet him.

''Okay.., Aiko! I'm Misya Alexandra, this is my colleague Riko. We're investigating Amelia Earhart's death." He looked at me and smiled. "Greetings!" he said so sure.

The long haired woman followed us. With a serious look I looked into his eyes. "Aiko, the informant told us that you were very close to Amelia. If it's not your fault you brought him here?"

"For the second question I will answer. Yep!" Said simple.

"Alright, then how do you bring her here if you don't know her."

"Simple it, that's my job.... Yes, looking for talented artists. If it's about being close or getting to know him, I'm totally. No."

"Well, we'd like to hear how you found him first?"

''I don't understand what you mean...''

''Which part is less clear?''

''Bu-not so! Didn't Amelia kill herself? What does this have to do with our meeting?''

I stared at the beautiful circular clock on her wrist. ''It's okay, now the clock is still 12.00. we have plenty of time to listen to your version of the story!''

''What? My version? What means?''

''Please tell me first. I promise I'll answer that question afterwards.''

Aiko looked at me full of vigilance. Sometimes he stole a glance at Riko who was standing behind me.

''What story do you want to hear?'' he said after a moment of silence.

''You said your job is to find talented artists. Then how do you know Amelia Earhart will be a great musician?''

''For Amelia Earhart, it wasn't me who suggested it!''

''Then who? Is that the producer?''

''Yes, Vishnu Pradana found him.''

''Tell me how he found it?''

'Aiko shook her head and said flatly. ''I do not know...''

''Are you not his assistant?''

''Such a conclusion!'' his voice slightly raised and then looked at Riko. ''Does your co-worker know everything you do?''

''If he is my affair. Yeah, maybe he'll tell me everything.''

Both of his eyes were wide open to hear my words. ''What is your real purpose? Do you guys want to blackmail me, ha!''

''No, it's not so. Didn't I tell you from the beginning.We want to investigate Amelia Earhart's death?'' annoyance from his eyes. ''And you've worked with him. Isn't it natural that we came to see you?''

"I told you, I'm just the bridge of the agency. Do you want to investigate the man who quit there two years ago?"

"I don't know why you're avoiding that question. Hey Aiko, did something happen that night?''

''When's night?''

''The night you met him at Tugu Tiga Hospital?'' Welcome Riko so quickly.

''It was a long time ago, '' he replied casually.

''Again and again you won't answer yes!'' I took a deep breath and then threw my shoulder on the back of the chair. ''...Don't let us misunderstand you. We're just here to ask questions not to take you.''

''On what basis can you take me. I had absolutely nothing to do with Amelia's suicide. So, don't expect you guys to be able to take me without any evidence, '' she said so confidently. ''Right now I am busy with work.''

''Really too... But, we don't know. two or three minutes later. Whether we can take you or not.''

His eyes shone sharply at Riko unblinking. "Hey, what's up?'' I turned around to look at Riko who was holding a piece of paper that read. EKI APRILIA'S.

''Aiko, what's wrong? Why do you fall silent when you see that name! Ah, do you know her mother?''

Aiko still remained silent without saying.

''Hello,'' I waved a palm right in front of his face.

''What explanation do you want to hear?'' he said without hesitation.

I smiled and said. ''Well, starting from....., how did you know that Amelia was coming to the hospital?''

''I will tell you everything from the beginning... But, where do you guys know about that name!''

''Hmm, didn't I tell you. everything will be answered after my question is over!''

''Alright,'' he said resignedly. ''That night, Mas Vishnu and I were attending a wedding of his friend. I don't know why when we wanted to stay at the car hotel the company was there. Yes, seeing that Vishnu directly approached him..''

''Didn't you know that Amelia was there?''

''Ni-No, I don't know at all. But, Vishnu, as I said earlier, if he already knew that Amelia Earhart would come that night. I don't think he even knew that the company's car was there...''

''Didn't he try to contact Amelia?''

''Maybe, I don't know about it, because it was her own decision to invite Amelia Earhart to join.''

''It didn't answer my question!''

''What? which question is it?''

''Where do you know that the car that Amelia is driving is going!''

''I have absolutely no idea!'' His voice was a little loud, It was just a coincidence!''

''After that..What happened? About the woman he hit?''

''If you knew until then..Why don't you ask the doctor directly?''

''Just answer!''

''The woman he hit died while being treated. Though on that night, the wound was not so severe.we also had time to talk to him.''

''Die? Is there anything strange about his death?''

Aiko fell silent. His eyes narrowed so small. ''What's up?'' I was curious.

Aiko pulled out the phone from her pocket. ''I used to take pictures of the woman's body. But, I removed it? we didn't tell anyone at all?''

''What happened to the body?'' My head immediately buzzed. Slowly it starts to feel heavy.

''What's up? Are you all right?'' saith

I'm nodding. ''Continue!''

''The next day, the doctor called back to Vishnu. The doctor had absolutely no idea what he meant!''

''Then what did you guys do to the corpse?'' I'm still trying to hold back the pain in my head.

''Mas Vishnu handed over completely to the hospital. That day we had to go to Jakarta to take care of Amelia's files and data. Because that day we were really late.''
