Murder In The Old Castle
138. Eruptions
Fani still stood in her confusion. How could there be no one in the car? He immediately turned around, shining a flashlight around. Around the place was overgrown with trees and bushes. There are a few houses, but some distance away. All that is visible is empty plots of land on the side of the road.
Fani increases alertness. He looked around. The mood is still quiet. Fani is suspicious of the thickets that grow a lot around the place. He shone a flashlight there, but there was no suspicious movement. He stepped closer to the dark empty plot of land. Curiosity tickled him to find out who the driver of the car was who suddenly disappeared.
From inside the police car, Gerry looked at what Fani was doing with anxiety. He was worried that the policewoman was in danger. He wanted to get off to help, but he remembered Fani's message that he should stay in the car. He could only see Fani's movements from inside the car.
Gerry's worries turned out to be real. As Fani walks down the field, Gerry sees a black figure moving closer to Fani. The figure suddenly appeared from behind the trees. He wanted to shout to warn Fani, but somehow his tongue felt like a joke. He tried to gather all his courage. He could not let the policewoman threatened his safety.
He opened the car door and then shouted.
“Bu Police, beware behind you!” cry Gerry.
Hearing Gerry's scream, Fani immediately turned her back. He was surprised to see a figure suddenly not far behind him. The figure was wearing black clothes, not clear appearance of his face because it was dark. At first Fani did not really consider that the presence of this figure is a threat.
“You what are you?” ask Fani.
The figure just fell silent not answering. He stood there, without moving. Fani is now more alert. He picked up the gun he kept in his belt, then pointed the gun at the figure who was just silent.
“Thank you!” fani's orders.
Unfortunately, Fani's threat still got no response. Fani also can not shoot. He was waiting for a response from the black figure.
“Do not mess! I could have shot you!” threaten Fani's.
Silent mood. The two men were still facing each other, waiting for each other. Suddenly, Fani is startled by the sound of her phone ringing.
“Shit!” objurgation.
His concentration was split with the sound of the cell phone roaring. He wanted to reach for the phone in his pants pocket. It was fatal. The figure moved quickly and suddenly. He pushed forward, crashing Fani who was divided into his concentration. The move was completely unexpected, Fani was not prepared with her gun. The two people rolled on the ground. While the phone still roared.
Gerry paled. He could do nothing but stand up and hope that the policewoman was okay. Unfortunately, Fani is really in trouble right now. Especially when the figure managed to snatch the gun from his hand. He was not wrinkled, lying in the grass. The figure grinned, then pointed the gun at Fani's head.
“You don't go crazy! You wouldn't dare to do that!” fani said with a trembling voice.
“You don't test me! You think I'm scared because you're a cop?”
“You won't dare!” gertak Fani's.
Doorr!
The gun erupts, silencing Fani for good!

Dimas enjoyed the holiday this time by watching a movie on the big screen in his house. He likes mystery movies, so it inspires to solve some cases. He enjoyed every scene, with a pack of pop-corn in hand and a can of cola on the table. However, his preoccupation is interrupted when he gets a call from Reno.
Reno usually never bothers during the holidays, except for things that are important. Inevitably, he picked up his phone.
“What other case is this, Ren?” ask Dimas.
“Sorry to interrupt your time, Dim. But I think I need your help. A few hours ago, I had an interview with some college students who were directly involved in the Jenny murder case. Unfortunately, one of them, Gerry, was threatened with death, so I asked Fani to escort,”.
“Well! There is Fani. Of course everything is fine if there is Fani!” said Dimas.
“Ah, at most he stopped by the cafe and deliberately did not want to lift his phone!”
“No usually Fani so, Dim!”
“Keep your plan how?”
“I mean, let's catch up to Gerry's residence to make sure they're okay.”
“Why not just call Gerry?”
“Already. But it's the same. Gerry's phone is off. I swear, if anything happens to them, it's my fault. I asked Fani to escort Gerry!”
“Don't be too so either. I'm sure they're okay. I was watching this! The hell you have to disrupt my vacation time?”
“This is about human life, Dim. We have to ensure their safety. My hunch is not good.”
“Hmm. Okay ... okay. I'll accompany you to Gerry's. Wait another 30 minutes I'm ready!”
Although actually feeling reluctant, Dimas finally turned off the television. He was wearing a black leather jacket, preparing to slide to the police station to accompany Reno. Just as he was about to leave, the sound of his cell phone roared back. He saw Gilda's name making a call. He sighs. There was no time to answer that call.
He ignored Gilda's call, then rushed to the garage to pick up the car. However, he was shocked when he saw outside the fence Gilda was already there. This time he was not with Wandi. He was alone with his anxious face. Inevitably, he paused his intention to take the car.
“Gilda? Why are you here?” ask Dimas.
“My car broke down not far from here. Help me out, Dim!”
“How to help?”
“Search for people who can repair a cake car or workshop. I am so confused!” said Gilda.
“Douh! Can't be Gilda! I have important business. Mending your car tomorrow will be handled by a mechanic. Now you go home and just sleep!” said Dimas.
“Hah? How do I get home if my car breaks down!”
“I'll call a taxi for you. Sorry Gilda! I'm hustling. You better not bother me first!”
“Wait .. wait! Are you in a hurry on these nights? Looks like there's a case or something interesting?”
“Sorry, Gilda! Don't force me to talk. It's none of your business. It's police business!”
Gilda was curious about Dimas' words. His desire to hunt down the news grew stronger. Dimas opened the gate, preparing to drive off in his car, without caring for Gilda. The young lady looked angry. He stopped Dimas' car, then opened the front door.
“I'll come with you, Dimas!” said Gilda.
“Are you crazy? I'm on duty, Gilda! I'm not gonna let you come with me. What does Reno say? Your reputation has been ruined in Reno's eyes!” said Dimas.
“I don't care, Dimas! I'll come with you!” force Gilda.
Dimas snorted annoyedly. Can't imagine what Reno would say if he knew that he was in a car with Gilda. Dimas was still worried, should he take Gilda with him?
