EIGHT TARGETS
29. The Breath of Breath

“This is the end of the second quarter, why does Young Master Kaiser not look too huh?”

“Iya, I heard also Young Master will not play in this third session.”

“Yeah, then free dong we wait.  The match was also a bit boring because the ability of both players was too far.”

“Iya yes.  It's also night.  Let's just go home yuk.”

“Ayo.”

“Iya.  Come deh.”

There was chatter from the audience on the second floor podium.  Not long after, the audience podium became quiet.  In the gap between the second and third quarter, the players from Red Peacock High School sat resting on the player's bench.  One of the players looked around the opposing player's bench.

[Kaiser, where are you going?]  Murmured that opposing player.

At 22.01.  The sports hall that once seemed alive, was now dark and silent.  Suddenly, there was light from another building.  It was none other than the northwestern library building.

“Hah hah hah hah!”

Andika who had been satisfied to release her fatigue woke up and found Kaiser who looked bored.  Looks sweat poured even in the cold atmosphere of the night.

“Kaiser, what are you doing?  Did you run around to sweat like that?”  Ask Andika who was astonished to Kaiser.

“Oh.  I had tried my hardest to climb by stacking chairs to turn on the lights by using a mop through a hole in the window.  It was very difficult to reach the switch.  Thankfully it finally worked.”  Said Kaiser with a jaded expression.

“Should have put the light switch in the room dong.  Hehehehe.”  Kaiser added as he let out a mischievous laugh.

“How about you Andika?  Already satisfied with his sleep?”  Kaiser asked Andika.

“Iya, passable.  I hope people will notice our presence here soon.  Frankly, now I'm peeing and there's no toilet in this room.”

“Sorry because I brought you here.”.

“It's okay Kaiser.  This happened also not because of your fault.”  Andika immediately cut off Kaiser's words while smiling to calm him from the guilt that seemed from his suddenly grim face.

Kaiser replied with a smile, saying,

“But take it easy.  Now that the library lights are on and soon, people will soon realize our absence.  It won't take too long before we can get out of this room.  Let's take advantage of time by just resting to save our energy.” 

Kaiser sat back and read his favorite fantasy novel.

“Tit tit tit tit.”  Suddenly a phone rang in one of the lockers of the sports hall room that had been dark and silent.

“Triiiiit tuk tuk Triiiiiit.”  There was another ringing of the phone with another tone, this time in a different locker in the dark and silent gym hall.

The phone rang many times until it was not heard again.

“Halo, Mr Suwirno?  Hows it?  Can Andika be contacted?”

“Not Bu Nana.  What about Kaiser?  Is there any news?”

“Also not.  Duh, how's this?  How come they haven't come home yet?  Her phone was also not picked up.”

“Quiet Bu Nana, I'll try to contact their class mates.”  After saying that, Mr. Suwirno also hung up the phone from Kaiser's mother.

He then made a phone call.

“Halo, is this true with Loki?”

“True.  Sorry, but with whom I speak.”

“Oh.  What's up Sir?”  Loki, knowing that the one who called was Andika's father, immediately changed his tone to be more polite.

“Did Nak Loki know Kaiser and Andika are where now?”

“I know they helped train the basketball team today, but they should have been done a long time ago.  Sorry, Om, I hung up.  I'll find out from the other kids.  If you have any news, I will contact Om.” soon

“Good Nak.  Please Call Om as soon as possible yes.”

The conversation between Loki and Andika's father ended.  Now, it's Loki's turn to call Beni.

“Halo, Beni.”

“Oh, Loki.  Hoaaa. Tumben calls these nights.”  Beni replied as she yawned from exhaustion.

“Do you know where Kaiser and Andika are going?”

“I don't know.  What's up Loki?”

“They have not returned home.”

Hearing that, Beni snapped consciously from her sleepiness and immediately broke free from her cushioned pillow.

“What did you say?  But after some thought it was strange because they suddenly disappeared even though they had promised to help the match in the third session at 7.  Hey Loki.  Nothing happened to them?”  Beni suddenly panicked and immediately got out of bed and put on his jacket.

“I'll be back to school soon just in case.”  Said Beni with a tone of voice that was half-washful.

“Then, I'll be there too.  I'm worried about them, especially now that Kaiser has a lot of enemies running around.”  With Loki's words, the phone was closed and they both moved to the same location, Angkasa Jaya High School, their school.

***

Beni and Loki arrive almost simultaneously at the location.  They immediately went to the security room in front of the gate to ask for the gate to be opened.  After the gate was opened, they began to search here and there starting from a location near the sports hall. 

There was not a single trace of Kaiser and Andika's whereabouts.  Loki, with his initiative, immediately went to the ceremonial field where the entire building in their school could be seen. 

He soon realized that the lights in the northwestern library building were still on.  He immediately called Beni and together headed there.

“Dor, dor, dor, dor.”  The sound of the door being knocked was heard many times.

“Kaiser, Andika.  Are you guys in there?  Immediately reply if you guys are in there!”

Loki yelled as loud as they could while banging on the door of the northwestern library.

Andika who was with Kaiser inside immediately realized Loki's voice and immediately responded.

“Loki, is that you?  We're inside!”  Andika immediately called out Loki's name while replying to banging on the door from inside the room.

Loki finally finds out their location and immediately tells Beni to take the keys to the room at the security guard.  Loki then immediately contacted Mr. Suwirno about the existence of Kaiser and Andika. 

Shortly after, the library door opened and found the two people trapped inside.  Kaiser immediately welcomes Loki and Beni's hands, while Andika gives an apology gesture and rushes to the toilet.

Not long after, Ms. Nana, Mr. Lucias, and Mr. Suwirno came to pick them up.  Bu Nana immediately hugged his son Kaiser happily while Pak Suwirno only patted his son Andika's head, but Pak Suwirno could not hide his worried expression on his son. 

They finally left the location to their respective homes at exactly 23:30.

***

Still on the same night, the media is suddenly shocked by the death of the mother and child couple, Vet Tcin and Rihana.  What was most shocking to the media was the discovery of a seven-scope card crossed out one of its scopes on the terrace where the mother and child pair fell and died. 

Finally, many media outlets attributed this incident to the case of Aleka's death where an eight-scope card was found crossed out one of his scopes.  There is a suspicion that this is a serial murder case and if it is true this is a serial murder case, inevitably the media will associate it with the case of Dios bullying. 

But this time, though, the media is more alert to the news after remembering the incident that happened to NTV News who originally accused Kaiser and finally had to swallow bitter results of his actions in the form of major losses and the fall in the stock price of the company where they finally sacrificing Vet Tcin to save the life of the company.
