EIGHT TARGETS
3. The Midnight Attack

Return to 3 hours before the attack of Dewantara Group Hospital.  Aliska, the journalist who was about to get news from Kaiser finally intended to go home after failing to get any news from Kaiser.

Elevator door opens.  With empty eyes, Aliska left the elevator door.  Aliska continued to walk forward without noticing there was an office boy in front of her.  They also collide with each other.

Thanks to the heavy gallon of water that hit Aliska's feet, Aliska ended up getting hurt so much that it hurt to walk.  Office boy feels guilty about the incident. He also brought Aliska to the Office Boy room to give first aid to Aliska's sprained leg due to the gallon water hit earlier.

“Ouch!"

"Well, sorry Mbak for being careless hit Mbak so injured.”  Say Office Boy in a panic.

“Nothing, I was also wrong for not paying attention to the road well.”  Aliska simply replied weakly while smiling at the Office Boy.

Seeing his smile, Office Boy felt a little relieved.

Aliska whose legs sprained waiting for better by resting in the Office Boy room while chatting with Office Boy.  Due to exhaustion, Aliska subconsciously closed her eyes and fell asleep.

However, in the silent middle of the night, suddenly a rowdy sound of broken goods accompanied by the eruption of a gun was heard from outside.  Hearing the commotion, Aliska woke up.

Inside the room, Office Boy who was still loyal to accompany Aliska who fell asleep while sitting down to eat milk coffee was also shocked.  Aliska immediately improved herself who was still a bit sleepy and soon adjusted to the tense atmosphere outside.

Aliska immediately snuck up from the bed to near the door. Office boy followed him behind.

“No one moves, or we shoot.”  Said a criminal wearing black clothes with a black mask covering his entire face except for the part of his eyes between them.

Aliska opened the door slightly to peek out.  How shocked he was when he saw that the hospital had been attacked by a gang of criminals.

“What's up Mpa?”  Ask Office Boy to worry.

“Sst.  Don't be noisy, we'll be found inside.”  Aliska replied firmly while attaching her index finger vertically to her lips right in the middle.

Office Boy who then took a peek out immediately panicked.  He covered his mouth with one of his hands to prevent the sound from coming out of his throat.

Shortly after, the hospital lights went out.  Thirty minutes passed and somehow Aliska and Office Boy managed to hide in the room without being caught by the criminals.

Fortunately the Office Boy room was located far away hidden in the back corner of the first-floor hall near the hospital door that made the criminals careless to check into the room.

“Aduh, how is this Ma'am?  If this continues, many patients whose lives will be threatened.  And my sister, too, might die.  All this time he was able to survive thanks to the help of tools from the hospital thanks to Young Master.  But if the power goes out and the backup electricity runs out, then my sister's breathing apparatus will... My sister will... Hiks....” Said Office Boy while sitting stiff.  His knees were tightly pressed.  Her tears flowed down her knees.

“At a time like this we should just calm down.  There must be a way out.”  Aliska said she cheered Office Boy.

However, even though Aliska said so, in her own heart was actually also very panicked.  How not, from earlier he tried to call, but could not because there was no signal.  The Internet cannot be connected because there is no network.

[It appears that the entire hospital building has been fitted with a signal jamming device.  How'this? The power went out but it appears the emergency signal was not sent due to a signal jamming device.  If this continues, it will take a long time for monitoring officers from outside the hospital to be aware of the situation inside the hospital.  What can I do?]  Aliska thought in her heart.

Aliska also recalled the conversation with her senior earlier this afternoon before leaving for the hospital.

***

“Wah, why suddenly there is no signal.”  Aliska spontaneously stood up and raised her phone high to look for a signal.

“Hi.hi.hi..hi..”  Aliska also turned to a senior who laughed grimly with a strange gurgle.

He saw that a strange set of equipment was being held by his senior.  “It wasn't?  Suddenly there was no signal.  It's senior apparently yes."

“Sorry.  Sorry Aliska." His senior replied while trying to stop his grimace.

"But not to test the signal jamming tool that's my real goal.”  Said his senior with a mischievous smile.

“Actually the time of covering the news about the closed illegal auction event in Germany, I secretly followed the auction event.  And look what I got.  Mini size signal jamming device with a radio-like shape is only 1 x 2 x 4 cm in dimension.  Here's usage.  The transmitter will be able to reduce the noise caused by the signal disruptor with sonic boom.  Bla...bla.. Look at this, when the button is pressed, no!  The signal on the phone also reappears even though the signal jamming device remains on.” Senior said proudly to Aliska while showing her phone that had a signal back.

"After that, the signal jamming tool will be stable again and able to produce noise that will interfere with the signal again.bla..bla." The senior was growing increasingly disappointed in his expression explained.

"But that's specifically in the room where the density of the wall mass in the enclosed space is able to quantify the signal.  Bla.., Bla... But outdoors, no matter how powerful the signal jamming device, it will have no effect.”  Continue the Senior this time with pride.

“Senior, I am not interested.” Aliska quickly cut her senior's long explanation while showing a very disinterested expression.

“Do not do that, this tool there are 2.  I will give you one as a gift.  It!”  The senior then stuffed the strange mini-equipment into Aliska's bag.

“Not this Senior expensive? It's best not to.”  Aliska tried to refuse.

“What do you consider this seniorma of yours?  Just accept! It is not good to refuse the gift of a sincere person to give us a gift." The Senior firmly rejected Aliska's repulsion with a pouting face.

"Actually, this tool is in pairs and has another special function that we can send each other a short voice message between the two devices some time when the transmitter issued a sonic boom.  It is quite helpful when you are held captive by strange people while covering the news to give SOS to your reliable seniormu.” Added his senior while showing a friendly smile and a gentle eye gaze.

“Yes.ya.. My senior is great.”

[Senior Panji base, mostly watching Detective Con*n] Grutu Aliska in heart while staring with a look of pity but shrouded in low gaze to his senior.

***

Aliska who was panicking while trying to calm her mind.  He reached into his small bag and pulled out a small box similar to a radio.  He never expected that the strange tool gifted by his senior would be a savior in the precarious situation of his life.

[Detective Con*n, banzai!] Mumbled Aliska.  He immediately recorded his voice for help then pressed a button on the tool.

Instantly, Aliska's face turned disappointed.  Apparently the signal interference is too strong so that the sonic boom is not able to throw the signal temporarily.

“How is this?”

Hearing Aliska muttering, Office Boy looked at Aliska curiously.  “What's up Mpa?”

“It's over.  At first I thought this tool could help.  To seek outside help, but it seems that the signal interference caused by the criminals is too strong.  If I could just leave the hospital for a while, or at least just open the hospital door and press this tool.  Why should all hospital windows be covered with steel at night?  If there is an attack like this, we cannot escape because there is only one exit.  Hey brother, is there no emergency exit?”

The office boy who had listened to Aliska's grumbling pensively meaningfully before his daydream was resuscitated by Aliska.

“There should be Mbak, but it can operate automatically when the fire alarm is on.”  Answer Office Boy while looking seriously back and forth at Aliska and the tools she was holding.

Hearing Office Boy's reply, Aliska felt very disappointed. He almost shed tears because he was so afraid of her now, but she was detained because she knew it would be useless.  It is precisely in this moment that he must remain calm to think of the most appropriate solution because that is how a true journalist, acting not on speculation, but on the basis of facts and the best direction.  A true journalist has the responsibility of directing the public to always take the right choices to a better life.

[Emergency door works automatically new one can open when fire alarm is on.  Backup electricity still works.  There is still a chance that the automatic emergency exit still works.  All he has to do now is trigger the fire alarm.] Thought Aliska inwardly trying to read the situation.

“Help me.”  Pinta Aliska to Office Boy.

Office Boy took out a desk then stacked a chair on it.  Aliska climbed up the chair after obtaining a match that was located around the kitchen section of the office boy's room.  Aliska immediately lit a match and directed the fire at the fire detector located on the roof of the office boy's room.

However, having not had time to carry out his intentions, beyond their expectations, a criminal opened the door and caught them.

“Hi what do you want?”  Said the criminal to Aliska and Office Boy while kicking Aliska's chair on one leg, one leg that was not injured.

Aliska's down.  However, thanks to that, the attention of the criminal managed to get sidetracked. Office Boy immediately took the opportunity to take another seat and hit the villain's head.

Office Boy immediately ran out. The criminal tried to chase after him by ignoring Aliska who was still lying in the room.

A shot was fired by the criminal, but Office Boy managed to get through.  Office Boy arrived at the exit of the hospital and managed to open the door.

But unfortunately, shots fired by other fellow criminals managed to hit the vital organ of Office Boy. Office Boy also died. His body was lying just outside the hospital door.  In his right hand, it was seen he was holding a strange tool that he had managed to suppress.
