Early Saturday.
The night was so late. But, somehow Joe could not close his eyes at all.
I don't know how many times he's rolled over on his bed. But still, he could not sleep.
For a moment Joe looked at the ceiling of his room, then he sat on the bedside. Rake your head, then get up and walk towards the closet.
From the drawer, he took out a small wooden crate full of carvings. Then he took out a piece of black-and-white photograph and two blades of different shapes. The first knife was Rencong. While the second is a dagger with a handle in the form of a cobra head carving.
"Ting Ting Ting!" Joe said like a puppeteer who plays puppets. He fought the two knives and laughed to himself.
"Just try, Uyut Malik's grandfather did not die. I must have played the old man with Grandpa Tengku. Two of the decengkot fight. Must've been exciting. But.., ah. My brain is already in error'. Where can I complain to an old man to fight. Can quality. Hehehe," back Joe grinned then rake his head.
"What else do you want? Oh my dear eyes. Why aren't you fucking?"
Now Joe put the two blades back into place. After which, he fumbled towards his chest.
"This necklace. I don't know how many years it's been on my neck. Let me see!" Joe said in his heart. He then passed the necklace that had two badges from his neck, then watched the necklace carefully.
"This is Uncle Herey. This one is Uncle Arslan" Joe said, pointing to both badges.
The tiger head badge he likened to Herey. As for the dragon-shaped badge, he is likened to Arslan.
"Try if they fight. About who won? Uncle Arslan is agile and flexible. As for Uncle Herey, the person was strong, stiff and resilient. Uh, but, uh, Uncle Arslan's great foot kick. If there's time, I want them to fight. But.., ah. What niece am I? Could I, "Joe's back whining. And, once again he rakes head.
"Wuzzz! Ciaaaat! Ciaaaat! Dragon versus tiger. Who won?" Joe said as he crashed the two badges.
Somehow he held both insignia of the two organizations leadership emblem, until it fell to the floor.
Prak!
"Oh God!" Joe said he rushed to pick up the two badges that had fallen on the floor earlier.
"Good not broken. Heh.., what is this?" Joe said as he lifted up and watched towards the dragon's eyes on the badge.
Now, the dragon-shaped badge is a little tenuous and when pulled, then there are two exact same sides.
Curious, Joe pulled both sides earlier and now it turns out that the badge can be split.
Now Joe sees a line of writing and numbers like password numbers.
Joe rushed towards the ink stamp and attached the badge. After that, he put it on the paper.
"Dragon Empire's. It was founded by Drako, Ramsey, Regan and Jeff. Aim to protect young Lord Wilson William. No word of retreat. Death is better than failing to protect the employer! We are the four shadow guards!"
Then Joe again looked at the other side of the badge and once again he glued it to the ink stamp. And, a row of words arose when Joe stuck the stamp on blank paper.
"This is a command word. When this letter was distributed, there was no word No for all members of the organization. Dissent, will be hunted! And, it means Dead!" That's how it is written.
"Four shadow guards. Less than one is three. But why would my grandfather Wilson get killed too? Uh. I'm so stupid. Name ajal. A million shadow guards were also useless if indeed his destiny had to die,"
Joe now looks back at the writing of the numbers on the paper stamp from the badge earlier.
"Hmmm. It looks like it's code. Maybe this code.., uh. This is the Metro City area's phone number. What?"
Joe's getting curious. He immediately pulled out his phone, then he immediately pressed the password contained on the stamp paper. I don't know how many times he's been wrong, and after he's done it, the phone number is now on.
Tut.., Tut.., Tut..,
The sound of a call was waiting for an answer. Then, shortly after that, a woman's voice sounded like an operator.
Welcome, Chief. You've made an emergency call. We'll soon connect you with the head of the branch and the twig,"
Joe suddenly turned pale hearing the voice of the woman across there.
It wasn't the woman's voice that was creepy that it frightened Joe. Instead, he had made an emergency call. Just imagine if a chairman was having a very emergency problem! It is possible that all members of the Dragon Empire will spill over in this stone city. This is what makes Joe confused. He had no idea what to do but end the call.
"Dead me. What have I done?" I need to call Dad right away," Joe said in fear.
Tut tut tut's...
Call not connected.
"Try Uncle Tigor!" Joe said again in his heart.
Stay same. The call was not connected at all.
"Try Senior Black!" Said Joe again. His hands were already trembling looking for Black's contact number.
Tut.., tut.., jin..,
The result remains the same. That is, it cannot be contacted.
How can I be contacted?! Right now, both Drako, Sham, and the others are conducting a multi-calling party involving great people both in Dragon Empire and Tiger Sham. No exception, Leo, Black, Herey and even Tigor and others are also making the combined call with Drako as its chairman.
"Hopefully my worries don't happen. Uh. It's dawn. I have to get ready to go!" Joe said, hurrying to pack his belongings.
At exactly 6, Joe had left his apartment, but his cellphone was left in the room. Joe left for college without a cell phone.
A few hours later, in Joe's room there was a ringing phone call. And this is not sure how many times.
Joe's cell phone rang for a while and then stopped, and then rang again.
Seriate...
