Mom For Alleta
Chapter 45: Troubleshooting part IV

A total of 14 people combed each area suspected of being a hiding place for the rebels as well as Carter's captivity.

Okky leads the way, Allan right behind him. This time they went down the river, creeping, creeping, squatting and so on they did it to find their partner, Carter.

The sun starts to feel hot, the heat burns the skin, they rest on the river bank, eat the rations they bring in their respective carriers, then some pray congregation even with a sitting position.

Without lingering, sweeping back in did, no sign of humans, everyone felt desperate, but soon after, Allan found a pack of instant noodle packaging that looks still new, not mossy and not yet faded in color.

"sir, there is a pack of noodles". shouted Allan who began to lag behind because he was busy looking for clues in the water.

"let's see". said Okky. the man took over the plastic in Allan's hands, grabbed it, tasted it.

"it's new". Allan said with confidence.

"Find another clue, we're close to them". Okky said to the team members with a firm tone even though his voice was deliberately softened.

They walked again, a mound of land that looks foreign to mount on the river bank, the grass looks new, there are even some dead.

Okky swung his hand down, a sign that they had to duck between the boulders, after checking his weapons and equipment, they came back forward.

The mound was made as high as 2-3 meters, with a diameter of approximately 5 meters, located under giant banyan trees. If viewed from above it will not look anything because it is covered in branches on the banyan tree.

Team in split into two, they walked around the mound, from the east and west, Allan led one group and the other was led by Okky.

The distance they took was quite far, but it was still easy to see what exactly the mound was, by walking around it Allan found a gap that looked like a door, the grass in the dry part of the gap reinforced Allan's assumption that it was the entrance to the mound.

His feelings say that there is Carter in the room, whether still alive or dead, for sure he must find his friend.

"we go slowly, you, you and you take positions to the right of the gap, while the rest follow me to the left". Allan gave orders to members of the army who are now under his command, however Allan is a former special forces member who is quite accomplished in his time.

As per Allan's direction, they moved very carefully, while the team led by Okky checked the situation around.

There was no sign of life there, Allan tried to throw stones into the gap of the mound.

Still quiet, no reaction. Allan took one step forward, sharpening each of his senses, anticipating the coming of attacks from all directions. With a long twig that he found nearby, Allan brushed away the strands of vines that were beginning to dry up.

Setelah memastikan bahwa dugaan Allan benar, mereka segera menjauh, lalu menyusun siasat untuk masuk tanpa resiko. Allan hanya diam, mendengar satu persatu ide yang teman-temannya utarakan, namun tak ada satupun yang bisa mereka gunakan.

"we have bulletproof jackets, helmets, goggles, our safety is paramount, don't add new casualties, we have to go in and make sure of that.

Mereka beradu pandang lalu mengangguk mantap, Allan mencium bau tak sedap yang menembus maskernya, aroma kotoran manusia bercampur dengan amisnya darah memenuhi ruangan itu, cahaya yang masuk hanya dari celah yang tadi mereka lewati, selebihnya gelap dan pengap.

Uhukk

The sound of a man coughing, Allan immediately sharpened his instincts, the voice was behind him, in the room without lighting it Allan steadily turned on his headlamp.

"Carter.

"Edison".kky murmur.

Once in make sure there is no one else but the two of them and then Okky immediately kluar, asking for the help of his men who wait anxiously.

Allan saw Carter who was tied with cable ties, his hands began to hurt and bleed, his beard and berewok flourished covering part of his face. If not seen carefully then anyone will not recognize Carter with this appearance.

As for Edison, he had died in a terrible state, his swollen body signifying the process of decay had occurred. Besides the two of them there is another body of a man, I don't know who.

With one move Allan lifted Carter to take him out, Allan felt compassion for his partner, Carter whose height exceeds Allan, his body more contained with a charming fierce face is now no longer there, all that was left was a thin dry body with a look of my eyes, his lips dry, the clothes he wore were still the same as the last time Allan saw, but the branded clothes had now become tattered camping, he said, the former persecution and the smell of his own feces.

Hours later, they took Carter on a stretcher, and after arriving in the suburbs, Okky asked for help to take Carter to the hospital.

So many wounds were on his body, his weight was lost by almost half, Carter was like a daze, not a word came out of his mouth, only a pushy gaze emanated from his eyes, looked around suspiciously, then shuddered in fear while hugging himself.

Three months in a brush without sunlight makes his body stiff, especially with just one leg he can not move freely.

Everyone is aware of Carter's state, only Allan can enter his treatment room, trying to restore his memory.

"let's say man.we have to be strong, there is a wife's child waiting for us at home".Allan said desperately, Carter has not improved despite 2 days in intensive care.

"do you remember your wife, Valencia? she's pregnant right now, your wife's waiting for you". Allan did not dare to look at Carter's face, he looked down at the tiles, slowly his tears dripping down.

"Valencia? Allan, I want to meet the police chief".In shock Allan almost fell, his eyes twinkled, God helped him once again, showing the miracle that is often doubted by Allan.

"do you remember?" allan asked, Carter nodded quickly.

"i'll try to get people to contact him". Allan immediately got up and looked for the whereabouts of the police to ask him to contact Moru's father as requested by Carter.
