"How, Sir? Has it been found who owns the number?"
"Already, sir."
"Thankful--"
"But, it looks like the SIM card is no longer used and discarded. So, we can't yet determine where the owner is."

The three men were on their way to somewhere on the edge of town. Far from the crowd and enough to make the fur goosebumps because the place is filled with large trees that grow quite tightly.
They used Rafan's car. To get there, it took them almost two hours. Rafan and Kevin sat in front quietly. Look around with a feeling of fear and worry. Worried that there would be danger lurking around them.
Not much different from Faris sitting in the back. The two neutrals traced around the area they passed by with agitated twists. Fear they will be confronted by creepy creatures who are watching them. In fact, it doesn't necessarily exist.
"Fan, Vin, is this really the place to come?" faris asked, still looking around.
Rafan checked his phone. "Yes, really come here."
"Why come here and here, anyway, he cussed Arkan? Serem, anjir!" grumbled Faris with a frustrated face.
"Gue think anyway, this person has a mental disorder, deh," said Kevin revealed his analysis.
"Why is that?" rafan asked, looking at Kevin beside him.
"Lo thought to himself, if he was a normal, healthy person wal Afiat, why would he keep people brought here and here?"
"Oh, yes, too" replied Rafan agreeing.
"Keep, what if we are also attacked? You said he was a madman. We can also be targeted," asked Faris, there is a sense of worry in his sentence.
"Please calm down about that, Ris. I have a plan. We'll just follow suit, guaranteed 70% safe!" rafan looked at Faris.
"How much does 30% go?" ask Faris again.
"Yes, it will not be safe" said Kevin with a straight look at the streets.
"Yahwaa!! I don't want to die! When I die, who am I?" whinek Faris without shame.
Rafan grimaces at Faris's behavior that contrasts with his size. While Kevin giggled amused because he managed to prank Faris.
"Vin, you know!" Rafan stared at Kevin.
"What the hell, Fan? Bener, right, I told you? You say 70% will survive, it means 30% of it is not safe, right?" bela Kevin with the corners of his lips twitched holding back a laugh.
"Bodo ah, urusin tuh temen lo who said cassanova but mental chilli-cabean!"
"You guys aren't even clear on the discussion, anyway?! I am scared again!" faris's protest sulked at both.
Rafan clucked and Kevin looked up at the expression on Rafan's face that seemed to be snubbing at the frightened Faris.
"Udah, you're here for that! Wait a little while" said Rafan staring at Faris sharply.
"So, I don't want to go down!" faris with both hands folded in front of the chest.
"Bodos! Let's check this forest dweller, alone in the car!" firmly Rafan makes Faris again scowl.
"Ck, yes, yes I came in" Faris replied in the end.
"Well, yes it's coming down! It's good to be." Kevin said to distract those who are arguing.
In front of them was now an unkempt house building. The room is dark when viewed from the front. However, there was one window that was emitting light, like someone inside was lighting a candle. The terrible circumstances made Faris' guts shrink back. He snaps at Rafan and hides behind Rafan's body which is even shorter than his.
"This is the place?" kevin asked to look at Rafa to be sure.
"Try asking again!" kevin's proposal to put his chin in Rafan's pocket.
Rafan pulled out his phone and saw that there was not the slightest signal there. "No signal."
"Oh yeah, maybe this. The house is also suitable as a place of storage. Come on!" break up Kevin and walk ahead.
While Rafan held back his steps because Faris who gripped his arm was still in place.
"Ck! If you still want to be here, by yourself! I want to go in!" press Rafan to throw his hand from Faris' grasp until it breaks.
"Yes, yes, I'm coming! But holdin!"
Finally Rafan can only surrender when his hand is held very tightly by Faris.
The three of them entered after noticing the state of the house. The door was unlocked, making it easy for them to enter without having to shout to call the owner.
Darkness immediately greeted them while inside, as the moonlight that shone outside, was unable to penetrate the roof of this old house. Do not forget the smell of other rancid and pungent smell that seeps into their smell.
"Fan, dark-" Faris' tweet came to a halt as Kevin hurriedly smothered his best friend's mouth.
He immediately whispered something into Faris' ear. "Lake it easy, we don't see anything more than having to see something that makes this place smell rancid."
Moreover, in this dark state, their arrival will not be realized by the person who sent them here who is most likely the perpetrator of the disappearance of Arkan. That way they can take the opportunity to find out who the perpetrator really is because he has not had time to hide.
"Oh, have you guys come?"
Or maybe not. A voice interrupted their steps to come to a halt. Before long a small light appeared from the match that someone ignited. The man put on a black robe and lit the candles that surrounded the room. They could not see his face because it was half black.
After all the candles were lit, it was clear to all who were in the room.
In front of them, two black-robed people stood side by side with faintly visible grins amidst the scanty light. While in the corner of the room, a man rests on the floor whose hands are hung with a rope connected to a board on the roof. His entire body was covered in wounds and on the surrounding floor was splattered with a dried and fresh red liquid.
The three swallowed the chic spit. They know who that guy is. The man who was helpless. Head bowed weakly with eyes tightly closed. The forehead shriveled faintly and the lips up to the chest contained a deep red stain. That's Arkan, their missing friend.
"Hows it? Surprised to see your best friend here? Aren't we both great at making him helpless? Oh, sure." There was a ruckus afterwards.
"Si*lan!" as for Faris who was about to advance but was detained by Rafan. Faris who was once frightened, now even hardened his jaw with reddened eyes. A sharp gaze filled with anger at the two robed people.
"Hold it, Ris. We don't know what weapons they have" whispered Kevin with his eyes still straight ahead.
"Calm down, Bro! We'll let your friend go if he can't do anything more. Including, breathing." The person gave a pause just to see the reaction the three teenagers showed. A satisfied grin appeared when he saw the stoning gaze and strong clenched hands shown them.
"So, if you want to take him quickly, you can help us to make the death process faster. How's it?"
Silent. No response was answered. Rafan, Kevin and Faris are still in an effort to calm themselves from emotions that will overflow instantly.
"okay!" kevin's exclaim made Rafan and Faris turn their heads quickly towards him.
"Kevin!" press Rafan stared in disbelief at Kevin.
Seringai who clearly answered the snatch. Kevin did not reply, he just stared straight ahead, at the two black-robed people in front of them one of whom laughed satisfiedly at the drama that was about to start any minute longer.
"Good! Let's get started!"
"We'll do it in turn. Rafan's the first one to do so, we'll both be waiting by your side" Kevin suggested.
Again Rafan and Faris looked at him sharply. However, just then Rafan felt a strong grasp on his palm. It was Kevin who did. I don't know what he meant, but Rafan describes it as a phrase that's okay. As if saying everything will be fine.
Rafan grasped Faris' hand standing by his other side. He said the most difficult sentence to express.
"Maybe it's time we take Arkan off. As for him, he has suffered for too long in the coercion and malice of those who hate him. Perhaps, in this way, he could lead a quieter life there."
...Seriate......
