Hell Games
Gifts
While waiting for the conglomerate's son to bathe, Ef bushes around him. His eyes saw a groundcerry tree. The plant is fruiting and quite thick. Ef thought something, he circulated his gaze around, the trees around him are the types of plants that grow in the tropics. Ef also just realized that the weather feels sultry. They have left the subtropics and entered the area around the equator. By attributing the infromation to the nine-hour flight, they are currently in the tropics. Ef can conclude that he is currently in one of the countries in the Central African region.
DUARS...
An explosion sounded, followed by Lin's scream. Ef's reflex grabbed his weapon and went down. The woman immediately hugged Ef with her innocent body still wet.
“There was an explosion!” said Lin with a trembling voice. That woman was so scared.
“Return your clothes, I'll check around.!”
Lin had just realized that he was not wearing a single thread. She immediately released a hug and turned around with both hands covering her chest and feminine area.
“You wait here!”
“No, I'm with you. I'm wearing clothes for a while.”
Lin came back down and took his clothes, even though the light had started to dim, Ef's eyes could still catch the beautiful scenery nearby. The beautiful curves wrapped in smooth skin must have made all men swallow, Ef no exception.
“Consider the view just now the gift of having accompanied me!” Lin's words brought Ef back from the imaginary world. He immediately adjusted his breathing, and refocused on the sound of an explosion.
“That voice did not come from our camp. But from behind this hill.” Ef pulled Lin up from the riverbank, and started walking to the top of the hill. It turned out that the top of the hill was the last area of the high gorge that was directly connected to the beach. Down there lay the body of a man without a head. He's one of the desperate participants trying to break through the beach. The necklace is activated when passing through the sensor pole.
“Pity once that man,” lirin Lin.
“His sacrifice was not in vain, he gave us very useful information.”
“What information?”
“The only way to get rid of this necklace is to win this game.”
“Can't you force the game owner to unlock our necklace code?” ask Lin.
“You saw that!” Ef pointed at another island in front of them. “We are different islands with them, and we don't have a ship to get there.” Ef rose from his squat. “Come we're back!”
Ef decided to take a detour and different from their original path to better recognize the region.
“See it!” Lin pointed down, there was a herd of deer that was eating in the meadow.
“Finally we get protein source.”

That night the four of them sat in front of the base camp while facing the bonfire. They had just enjoyed a dinner of bread, biscuits and roasted venison . the rest of the meat in the asapi in order to be durable and become their stock for the next week. Although actually in the box there are many canned foods that are enough for them.
“I became impressed with my first camping when I was in school first.” Hamish began to tell the story of his camping enthusiastically. This conversation simply reduces their tension.
“hey, Dude. Tell me the stories of your assignment. Looks like your dunimu is quite interesting.” This time Hamish asked Ef to tell him a story. At first Ef refused, as he was not the type to talk about personal matters. But at the urging of the other three members, he finally gave up.
“At first I served as a military soldier, his name was the Indonesian Army National Army. I belong to group three of Special Forces Command-”
“Wait a minute!” Hamish cut the story Ef. “Indonesia? Aren't you working for the CIA?”
“You don't cut his words, let him tell you.” Maya raise her voice.
“I worked for the CIA only temporarily, because I was studying for an intelligence agent exchange program between the CIA and the State Intelligence Agency from Indonesia. I'm a BIN agent not CIA,”
“How is this? TNI, now BIN? Which is correct?”
“You're chatty once. Just shut up and listen.” Maya returns Hamish protests always cut stories.
“Because you can't fight?” hamish interrupted again. He was about to continue his sentence but was stopped by the delicacy of Maya's sharp eyes.
“We were educated on everything, including fighting. But that's not his main job. Our main task is more to collect data and convey it to analysts who are in charge of converting data into knowledge. This knowledge will be handed over to the user. Not raw data.”
“Have you ever had an exciting task?” Hamis really could not suppress his curiosity.
“Is rescue of trris captives exciting enough you think?”
Hamish nodded enthusiastically.
“I once led a small team to rescue a hostage tero*is. I was twenty-five years old and it was the first time I led a team to infiltrate and rescue. There were five captives who were sealed in the forest of Sulawesi island, they were the crew of a merchant ship.” Eph paused his sentence and waited for Hamish's reaction. But the man this time was silent, only his eyes were twinkling. “We did a quick operation, my team of only 5 people had to face ter*sis which amounted to thirty more people. We managed to infiltrate their base and release three captives. The operation goes awry when a hostage insists on returning and rescuing his wife. We were ambushed, a team of mine got shot there. In such an operation, cooperation and compliance with the decisions of the leadership are essential. Because the slightest mistake can result in loss of life.”
“Finally all captives survived?” Lin this time asked.
“Ya congratulations, after I was forced to duel one on one with the ter*ris kingpin.”
“As in the movies?” Maya has commented.
“More less, but the pain is real.”
“You got shot?”
“No, we duel physically. And I got stabbed here.” Ef lifted his shirt up, and showed a wound on the lower right abdomen.
“How's fate tero*is it?”
“He forced to face god faster.”
“It looks like I joined the right team. Your respects, Commander!” Hamish raised his palm parallel to the eyebrows. All the team members laughed, their anxiety had already completely reduced.
Eleven o'clock they decided to rest, only Eph was still sitting outside facing the campfire. He decided to keep watch. The door of the base camp opened, Lin exited and sat back down next to Ef.
“You didn't sleep?” ask Lin.
“I'll be on guard tonight. We never know when the threat comes.”
“You often kill people?” lin's question made Ef turn his face and look at the girl sitting next to him while throwing a small twig at the bonfire.
“Why are you asking like this?”
“I just thought, would you kill me if I pissed you off.”
“Hahaha, it's not that easy either, kali!” lin's remarks were really funny. “why should I do that, you're not even armed?”
“Means the decision to kill or not just based on the weapon. What if I pull out the weapon at this time. Are you going to kill me?”
Ef looked at Lin's face fixedly. Trying to figure out the direction of the girl's mind.
“No!” answer Ef.
“Why?”
“Because I'm in charge of protecting you.”
“Oh, just because of duty,” murmured Lin. Then the girl got up and went back inside. Leaving Ef still confused himself.
Ngigau ni son.
