Oh wow.
Me and Gery arrived at our destination home and were amazed by what we saw.
If Josh Rainer's house in Jakarta's elite area was called Prince William's Palace by Gery, the scene in front of me might be called Buckingham Palace, where Queen Elizabeth lives there.
Even among the dwellings in this area, this house is the most stealing attention because of its breadth that reaches dozens of hectares.
Gery was even still dumb in his seat when I took off my helmet and parachute jacket.
“Presidential Palace didn't move here, did it?” Gery still could not believe what he saw.
I pinched Gery so she would wake up from her dream. Gery seemed to grimace and then followed my steps towards the entrance gate of this palace.
There is no security in front of the fence.
There was not even a security guard post built in front of the gate.
No bell, no intercom, no tools whatsoever.
I looked around and saw a lot of surveillance cameras mounted above the gate.
Oh, they're just keeping an eye on the people coming in from here. If you do not know and there is no appointment, chances are guests will be left in front of the house like us.
Which is bad news for us.
I came to Josh Rainer's grandmother's house because no one had picked up my phone calls in the last three days.
They must have used the caller id, which is able to check what the name of the caller is. And my phone number is definitely not on their acquaintance list.
Meanwhile, the house is huge. No one can hear us screaming from here. How to call grandma Josh Rainer from behind the fence is definitely not going to be effective.
The fence at this gate is also very tall and sturdy. We both couldn't break it. It takes hundreds of people to break it, I thought.
“Then we have to how?” gery asked as confused.
I'm trying to make sense. What could make the people inside this house come out and see us?
“Sel, we as children will often climb trees behind school. Want to try climbing this fence not?”
Gery started to come up with crazy ideas.
“Surely after that there is a warning alarm right, we even caught dong," I replied.
“Loh even good dong. Our goal is so that we can be found by Queen Elizabeth, the abis just say deh same security that caught us about the condition of the prince. Tasi tuh paper partur which is proof, definitely in believe,” said Gery fiery.
Gery's idea is reasonable but not at all elegant. I'm worried that the “grasak-grusuk” step can reduce Grandma Josh Rainer's trust in us. I need him to believe that Josh is in danger right now and needs his help.
“You brought paper and pen not?” many finally. “We try to use the way of smart people first yes.”
Gery seems maniacal because indirectly the idea he throws is the way of an unintelligent person.
“Nih I brought my office notebook,” he said while giving me a notebook and a pen.
I then wrote on paper. After that, I ripped off a few pages of the book.
“Oke Ger, now please carry me on your shoulders huh. I have to show these papers in front of the surveillance camera exactly,” I asked straightforwardly.
“Cell, but the incandescent treat tomorrow? Pegel-pegel must be your sling. Where to travel almost four hours round trip,” cerocos Gery.
“Eh, woy! ” Gery surprised I suddenly climbed onto his back.
“Come home, papaku pinter mijit,” I said immediately while balancing my body which is now on Gery's shoulders. Gery whose body is athletic does not seem to have a problem with my weight is also light.
Gery started nyerocos but I asked him to shut up and focus first on the mission this time. I asked him to get closer to the nearest surveillance camera attached to the pillar of the main fence gate.
Gery slowly walked up to the camera while holding my foot that was on his shoulder. After the position fits, I then attach the paper to the camera.
“JOSH RAINER”
“IN PERIL”.
I held the paper for thirty seconds.
Then I changed back the first paper, hoping that soon someone at home would read and tell us to come in.
I alternated for almost five minutes and there was no sign of anyone in the house welcoming us.
“Sel, this is worth it. Switch to plan B?”
Plan B is his favorite plan. Climb the fence until captured by security. That way we can ask for access to see Mrs Gurnawijaya.
I turned my brain again and remembered something important.
Paper with the words Josh.
I took it from my backpack and showed it close to the camera.
The writing must have looked very small on camera, but I still believe this could be the reason the house people wanted to see me.
I took turns shoving paper with the words “JOSH RAINER IN PERANG” and Josh Rainer himself on the score paper.
I tried it for about 3 minutes and still no reaction.
“Cell,” Gery looks tired carrying me.
“Last way!” reminded him.
”If there is no response, we really climb.”
I took my phone and opened the photo gallery.
Yeah, I took a picture of Josh Rainer the first time he was declared amnesiac by Doctor Bernard.
In the photo, Josh is still wearing a bandage on his head and is asleep after he crashes Celine for the first time when he wakes up from a coma.
I showed it in front of the camera.
This is the only last way. After that, I had no other way to convince Josh Rainer's grandmother that Josh was in danger.
Hopefully this picture of Josh Rainer is clearly visible on camera, I hope.
I waited three minutes and there was no response.
“Ger, come on,” I finally gave up and followed Gery's idea of climbing this five-meter-high fence in front of me.
Gery brought me closer to the fence and I immediately took the handle to stick to the fence.
Gery followed my steps after, now we both have stuck to the fence and are ready to climb.
This large fence is not only high but also a lot of sharp bars in its design. We have to be careful or else the sharpness of the bars will hurt our bodies.
When I was about to begin climbing and carefully moved my hand to the higher bars, I was shocked by the view in front of me.
Unbeknownst to us, about a dozen solid-bodied securities have stood behind the bars of the fence.
Among the security, there was an old woman with white hair who stood at the front. He looked at me sharply.
The old woman then raised her hand, giving her cues to those behind her.
One of the security guards raised a remote in front of him, and pressed a button.
Suddenly, the fence I was holding shifted quickly to two sides, right and left. Without warning, Gery and I fell free to the ground.
Before the old woman came up to us, approached my face and said something unexpected.
“Liar," he said in front of my face with a hateful expression.
