pancason
Part 125 is home

The whole room is dark. There was only one light on the guest table. Two hours later, dawn began to fall. Meanwhile, Faizal had not closed his eyes for a minute. He is still busy with his laptop, and of course still has not given up on unlocking some folders in this flash disk.

The table is scattered coffee cups that have stayed the waste only. It's been the 20th glass of the night. Vin's rented house did not provide automatic coffee maker, so it was forced to make coffee manually.

Faizal stayed up all night alone. The girls have been asleep since an hour after dinner. Now the two are still wrapped around a thick blanket that Vin just took out of the closet. Because the blanket itself, it already smells musty. Understand the men's room.

Less than two men who are now sleeping on the sofa near Faizal, it is efficacious to suppress drowsiness for him. Faizal includes people who are accustomed to sleeping with a calm state, without any interference as well. The house is neatly arranged, and clean, then of course fragrant. Inversely with the place where Vin lives now. Several times, Faizal stared in disdain at the dirty, messy corner. I don't know, who in this case is abnormal. Because for Faizal the house should be clean, neat, and fragrant. Perfectionists.

Faizal stretched his hands up, he wriggled because of drowsiness which now began to be felt in seconds he began to be able to open the password in several flash disk folders.

His smile spread, when now the key folder was all open. "Gaesh! Gaese!" call Faizal by shaking the bodies of Abhimanyu and Vin who sleep beside and behind him. The two men were initially silent, but the shock was stronger. As a result, the two Abi netra now began to blink. Trying to regain his consciousness, with Faizal's loud voice nearby.

"What the hell, Zal?!" abhimanyu's tirade tried to get his hands off Faizal's.

"See that!" point Faizal to the screen in front of him. Abi did not react immediately, he was silent for a moment, fixing his head so that the visibility to what Faizal pointed to could be seen clearly. A few seconds later, Abi glared and suddenly corrected his position and now sat on the sofa. He put his head close to the lighted screen. "This ...."

"Gue can unlock it!" pekik Faizal held onto both Abi's shoulders and shook his shoulders more excitedly. Abi now widened his smile, amazed at what Faizal had done. He glanced at Vin, who drowned his head under the covers. Abi turned his head, then took the pillow he was wearing, then threw it towards Vin. Instead of waking up, Vin just hardened his snoring. It makes Abi nervous. He did not give up on making his friend wake up, he now punched Vin's nose until finally he revolted and was forced to wake up from his beautiful dreams while rumbling annoyed at Abhimanyu, who was now laughing giggling.

"What the hell, you?!" raung Vin throws pillows as an attempt at revenge. But it was all for nothing because Abi even laughed satisfied to see him annoyed.

"Eathey wake! Ni look!" abi pointed at the laptop in front of Faizal.

With a face still irritated, Vin stared at what they were pointing at, and then smiled. "Perfects!"

The sun is beginning to appear in the eastern horizon. Two girls who are still wrapped in blankets, have now started making friends with kitchen smoke. Do not forget they fill the cooking event by sharing information about Indonesian and Western food. Allea who rarely enjoys Indonesian cuisine is very curious about some of the foods mentioned by Ellea. Like Vegetable lodeh, satay lilit, and salted fish. Allea has indeed eaten several times Indonesian food that he got at one of the Indonesian restaurants in San Francisco, namely Borobudur Restaurant.

Although actually in Venice though, it is mushrooming halal restaurants. Everyone knows that Italian is synonymous with pasta and pizza.

"You have to try Frittelle" said Allea.

Frittelle is a soft and delicate traditional Venetian donut that is only served during the Christian festival of Carnival in Venice.

"If so, when we go back to Indonesia, you also have to try fried rice!" reply Ellea.

"Okay, deal!"

Coffee and a few sprigs of toast are available on the living room table.3 the man is still discussing about the secret folder which has now been successfully opened by Faizal.

There are some big secrets in it. In addition to the crazy game of hunting humans, they found again some things, one of which is who the people involved in it. All of them are rich and influential people in various countries of the world. They formed a black organization called the Ransford Cartel. There are about 5 members on this list.

Captain Nicholas, the first officer in the Indonesian Air Force. He and Vin have been close for a long time, especially since they were both in conflict countries, such as the Syrian civil war in 2011.

Charles Benzos is one of the richest children in the world. Benzos is the founder of the world's largest online retailer, Mercuri. The Seattle-based company sells books, household goods, and other products through its flagship website. Mercuri alone generated revenue of USD233 billion in 2017.

Garius Vabian Buhet is the chairman and largest shareholder of Berkshire Hathaway. His Omaha, Nebraska-based company is one of the largest shareholders of products with a well-known brand in the world.

Joanna Adriana is a model from Indonesia. She is already a world-class model, who is now also the mistress of one of the richest CEOs in Asia. He has several charities both abroad, as well as in his own country.

Abraham Alexi Bonar, Indonesian Ambassador to Venice. Who was none other than the leader in Faizal's office.

"What?! The ambassador in Venice was also one of its members?!" peekik Vin could not believe it. While Faizal who had known first a few minutes ago was used to it and not too surprised, considering one of Bonar's men also made Faizal leave his office just yesterday. He did not know, whether all the people who work in the KBRI know and are involved, or just a few people.

"What else is going on?" ask Abhimanyu.

"That's all, and the rest of the video games they've been doing for a few years. You knew? What if the Ransford Cartel had been around for decades?" faizal, seriously.

Vin and Abhimanyu shook their heads. Faizal then opened another folder that showed the remaining evidence about the origin and when the Cartel was formed.

The Ransford Cartel originated in England. Royal members in the UK often gather their relatives and close relatives. Fellow nobles who exist in several countries in the world. Of the nobles who are of course rich, they must show good attitude and nature in front of their people. Burying the bad side and the real negative image remains in the souls of those who are shackled by the royal rule.

With the possessions they have, everything they can do. All the food they can get. All the things they want, can be achieved soon. Until finally they slowly get bored, and want to find entertainment in other ways. Unique and unusual way. The way is fairly arrogant and inappropriate done by a noble if the people know.

They created this cartel, by gathering many members. There is no data that shows how many and who the members are. Because at that time, the Ransford Cartel had quite a number of members. They kidnap, and bring bums and beggars. Initially some of them were promised to be given proper shelter and food. They happily joined a truck carrying some of the bums. Dark and narrow. No lighting at all. They were taken in the middle of the night. To reduce people's suspicions, of course. The long journey made the passengers in the truck sleep. Without feeling, the truck stopped. They were taken down in a villa in the middle of the forest. In front of the Villa were already a few people with firearms in their hands.

Up to one person who seemed to be their leader took up arms up high. Then he shouted, "Kill them!"

He pulled the trigger and shot exactly one person on his forehead. As soon as the bums were out, ran off the ridge towards the forest. And excitedly, the cartels were chasing while continuing to shoot one by one the people left behind. It's a tragedy. And crimes that do not deserve forgiveness.

Then, the Cartel got a big shake, when one of its members betrayed and reported everything to the kingdom. And finally they disbanded and sought their members one by one. They were then punished by being beheaded in front of the people. This was done to maintain the stability of their kingdom. Punish those who should be punished. Moreover, their mistake was fatal. Slowly the people who knew the tragic incident continued to look down on the royal family, and the punishment was proof that the royal family would still be punished if they made a mistake.

A few years later, the cartel was re-operated. They form a committee that will gather members and targets. Easier and less common. Because if anyone knows, the first thing to look for is the committee.

The cartel is now in its fourth generation. And it turns out, they're Austin. Alan had no idea about the Ransford cartel's activities. He is just a famous illegal firearms imposter. Austin and Alan are very good. Their businesses are smooth and work with each other. All the photos and videos of the firearm sale are in a secret folder.

"Remain just this, Zal?" vin asked as if he was dissatisfied with the answer and what he saw on Faizal's laptop.

"Especially not. I watched and watched all the videos there. When and where they make sales transactions and what weapons they get from Mr. Alan."

"...."

"And there's one video that makes Austin and Mr. Alan finally stop this cooperation!" faizal then opened a video.

"...."

"You guys see? This is their last transaction. And here's a strange incident that made Mr. Alan suspicious."

Flashbacks

It was the last night Alan and Austin transacted. At a pier in San Feansisco, Pier 39. The weapon was always delivered through the waters, because Alan did have people in the police force and would never be caught. He also paid high taxes for his business.

"It was a cold night, huh?" austin asked pleasantiously, his mouth letting out the cigarette smoke he had just smoked.

Alan nodded with a smile agreeing to his opinion. He put on the leather jacket he was wearing. "You seem to have a lot of connections. Every week there's always someone looking for a firearm, yeah."

"Well, that's business. We have to find and find opportunities, otherwise how do I feed them all?" tanya Austin pointed towards the back.

Alan smiled, then the short conversation had to end because of the arrival of a black car. Austin, who knew who the owner of the car was, then took a short goodbye to Alan to meet his guests. Alan only responded with a nod. Because a second later his phone vibrated. A call made him move some distance away, close to the shore. Alan's eyes continued to look at Austin's place, he saw Austin looking down at the black car. He looks very respectful and afraid of the driver in it. "Oh, maybe the boss who's been buying him guns" Alan thought.

"Yes, why?" alan asked the caller across the street.

"..."

"What do you mean?"

"..."

"What cartel?"

"..."

"You serious? That's impossible!" peekik Alan could not believe it.

"..."

"Damn! It's crazy!" scream Alan, turn off his phone and squint his eyes. Try to see more clearly who the person in the black car is. He only realized that the car was a luxury car that was rarely owned by ordinary people in general. Only the upper class have it. Because the unit is limited, then Alan can know who the owner of the car.

"Charles Benzos." There are only 5 cars in the world, and in this country only the Benzos family owns them.

Alan thought that the news he had just heard had indeed happened. A dark cartel has bought all his illegal firearms. No longer gangster or mafia as usual, but this is even worse than that. Just this time he felt it was very sinful to have sold the firearms he had provided for others. It's not just the Ransford cartel that buys and uses guns to kill people. Alan realized, he had become a liaison to the death of others. But what the doomed cartel did was far more heinous than any mobster he knew.

Alan's ship is approaching. What they were waiting for now came as well. It felt like Alan wanted to immediately tell the ship to turn around, but a ship that big could not turn as fast as we ride a motorcycle.

Austin smiled as he saw his belongings were already in sight. He approached the wooden road at the pier. A place to get to the ship and load their goods. But Alan blocked his move.

"La? Wh why? That's your ship, right? Is my stuff in there?"

"Yes, that's my ship. But I don't sell it to you anymore, Austin!"

Austin's forehead was wrinkled and didn't understand what Alan said. He was puzzled as to why Alan could turn 180 degrees in just a few minutes. "What do you mean?" ask Austin.

"That damned cartel has made your conscience die, huh? You used a weapon from me to kill innocent people in a savage way!" snapped Alan. Now Alan's men and Austin's men are starting to look tense. Seeing their leader as they clash their mouths, all the troops are ready if things get hotter. Each weapon began to be removed.

"You think you're a holy man, Alan? You sold all those guns you think they're good for what, huh?! It doesn't matter who or how it's used, does it? The point remains, to kill living things." Austin's sentence was no less severe and was able to make Alan can not answer again. He realized that what he was doing had already caused many lives to be lost. It's not just the cartel. But long before that. I don't know how many guns he sold in his lifetime, and that much he contributed to the deaths of those people.

"I won't sell it to you again! I'll give you your money back right now!" alan pointed at Austin and told him to stand down.

"Can't! I've paid in full and my buyer's been waiting to pick up his thing, you know?"

"Cih, so rich people have weird hobbies, huh? Making humans hunted creatures. Are there no more deer or****wooden forests there?!" point Alan to the black car still waiting for them.

"It's none of your business, Alan! Get out of the way or there's bloodshed here!" threaten Austin.

"I'd rather die now, than let you take that gun!"

"..."

"Jhoni, tell the ship to go! If they're in the way, just shoot the head!" said Alan staring intently at Austin who was in front of him.

"Don't say much!"

Bugh! A blow floated into Austin's stomach. John had already told the head to return, even before the ship had stopped completely.

Austin responded with a crushing blow to Alan's face. The shots now sounded and were mutual. Everyone was fighting each other, killing each other. This is the last time Alan and Austin are partners. Because after this, they became sworn enemies.

"It's crazy! So for this reason, they killed all your family, All?" vin asked the girl who was sitting next to him.

The aroma of cooking has been smelling since a few minutes ago. But their appetite seems to disappear because they see a big secret that has put their lives in danger all along. All the deaths of those closest to Allea and Ellea were due to a savage cartel. Not humanistic.

The eyes of Allea and Ellea stared intently at the laptop. Full of emotion and revenge. "Bad! They're really outrageous" Ellea said slowly, but emotionally in each of her sentences.

"We have to reveal all this! So that those people can be punished with the punishment!" Allea.

"They're punished? Hey, you guys are really new kids, yeah. Even if this flash disk is revealed to the police, they will still escape. Because what? They're powerful people. Never in any history have people like them been punished with the penalty of what they have done! That's all bullshit!" Faizal.

"Then how should we?"

"Gue's sure they know we've got this flash disk!" vin said, sure.

"And we'll be the next target. They will definitely attack us even more. Especially if they know we know their secret!" added Abhimanyu.

"..."

"We're going back to Indonesia!"

"What?!"

"At least we'll be more free to move on our own land, right?" ask Abhimanyu sure.

"..." - ".Faizal did not reply, only staring at the two of them alternately.

"Well, that's right. Don't get me wrong, he'll be more productive on his own soil. Rather than here, only water can we encounter. Right, right, Bi?" ask Vin. Abhimanyu needs land to survive, not water.

"How's holiday?"

"What's? A vacation? This is the most beautiful vacation I've ever had!" vin is excited.

"Okay, we're going back to Indonesia. We're all!"

"Eh, Zal, your job...?" ask Ellea.

"I'm out of that place! I'd rather sell a newspaper than work in that filthy place."

"It's not the place, Zal. But humans. And not all, right? Maybe, anyway." Allea tried to mediate over Faizal's heartbreak. Give a choice if Faizal still wants to stay.

"Lu crazy?! If I'm here alone, tomorrow I stay a name, All. They know I know everything."

"Totally, too" muttered Allea.

________

This afternoon, they packed. Carry all luggage and leave for Indonesia. This time the enemy is not easy. Well, indeed all this time Abhimanyu's enemy was not as easy as he thought. But this time they are dealing with a dark organization consisting of some influential people in the world.

They had to fight, and of course survive. At least if Abi returns, he can ask for the help of his two uncles. Moreover, there is one member of the cartel who comes from Indonesia. Not just one, but three.

Ellea was sitting next to the window, she really liked the view of the sky from the window of the plane. Abhimanyu is next to him. The young man's hand held Ellea's right hand. The girl looked at me with a smile.

"Where does it feel to be home?"

"Mistake. But, also sad," replied Ellea with her head leaning on Abi's shoulder.

"Don't be sad anymore, baby."

Ellea chuckled, hearing that sweet call again. He was happy and amused when Abi was friendly. Abi, who he knew as a cold and indifferent figure, now turned warm. Though when they were close some time ago, Abi has not been this spirit. It's progress. Or there's something else. Ellea glanced at Abi.

"Biyu, as long as we lose contact, who are you close to?" The question made Abhimanyu gulp. He realized that he had never been close to another woman. But this made him feel intimidated.

"Nothing is."

"Times?"

"hey are. Where can I get along with other women? The only person I think is you." Back the flirtation of dreadlocks spoken from the mouth of Abhimanyu, although it was an honesty, but Ellea felt being wrestled this time.

"How important is Nabila then?"

Abhimanyu's forehead is wrinkled. He looked up and looked at the girl beside him. "Do you know where that name came from?"

"It doesn't matter where it comes from. So ... You're picking up the same deck as him?"

"God! No! I'm telling you, no one's the same, baby. You don't believe it?"

"No. I heard from Shanum, that woman is close to you."

"Yes, because Nabila is one of the BIN members, he is in charge of solving the case yesterday, Ell."

"Yes, are you really close? I see you often, right? We hang out often, right? Talk to both of you, right?"

"Gosh, Ellea, are you jealous? Same Nabila?"

"..."

"Yes, Nabila is close to me, we. Me, Uncle Gio, Uncle Adi and everything. We're a team. Again Nabila already have a girlfriend, baby," explained Abhimanyu not discouraged.

"I didn't ask her if she had a boyfriend or not. I'm just asking, are you close to him? Talk together often, go together often?"

"Yes ... Ja. But I'm the same when there's no feeling. There is no relationship!" Abhimanyu's tone was slightly elevated.

"Biyu, I know that. But I'm still jealous. Jealous because you are close. He can see you every day, hear your voice, be close to you. While I ... No! I'm still jealous!"

"Oh my God!" muttered Abhimanyu while pressing his head. He realized that his lover was a blind jealous man. "Okay, sorry. But now you're here, just like me. No need to be jealous anymore, right? Nabila also returned to the city after the case was over."

"Yes." Yeah." Ellea hugged Abhimanyu's arm possessively. While Abi took a deep breath, inexhaustible.

"Now there's no need to be jealous, right?" abi asked as he gently stroked the back of Ellea's hand. The two of them both stared at the window with a beautiful view of the clouds below.

"Stay jealous, Biyu."

"What's? Who else is jealous of, baby?"

"Yelin!"

"Yes God! He's your twin brother, baby. And there's Vin now!"

"Yes, still. You don't get too close to Allea. Do not give excessive attention. There's Vin there's Me too!"

Again Abhimanyu took a deep breath. "Ready, my Beloved."

Ellea smiled happily and closed her eyes. He was enjoying the comfort near Abhimanyu. Again. With this position, he felt calm, comfortable, and safe.

On the other seat, there was Allea and Vin sitting in the middle row. Allea is a person who is afraid of heights, he does not like to see the view from the window of the plane. Faizal was sleeping in another chair. He realized that he was the only one who had no partner.

"You sleep, go to sleep, All," said Vin when he saw Allea's face pale. Ever since boarding the plane earlier, this girl beside him was a little anxious. He was afraid to get on a plane.

"I can't sleep, Vin," said Allea, who was holding her own hand. Stop the tremors he had felt since. Not only his hands, but his entire body trembled. Vin feels pity.

"Here, I'll help you calm down." Vin immediately pulled Allea's body into his arms. He picked up a blanket and covered himself and Allea. "Your hands hug my waist," asked Vin as he pulled Allea's hands to her waist. At first Allea's body was still stiff and more rigid due to Vin's actions. But when Vin hissed, like an adult who calms a baby, Allea slightly smiled behind the sturdy young man's body. Allea slowly felt calm, especially when her back was gently rubbed by Vin.

"Sleep, yeah. Let time feel fast. Okay?" Vin's voice from this close range, made Allea only able to nod her head. Vin was forced to sit sideways, so that Allea was comfortable with a position like this. The man's swipe, made Allea more comfortable, until he really entered the dreamland.

Faizal is still struggling with his laptop. He was typing his resignation letter and he will send it when they arrive in Indonesia. He typed while daydreaming, staring at the screen in front of him while remembering when he worked at that place. How close he is to the whole staff there. All the moments in that place now turned back. It was as if the tapes of the movie he was watching were on his mind. Pain felt to be overcome. Remembering all those things. He is comfortable in that environment, working abroad is one of his goals. Faizal is from a small town. And he can make both his parents proud, when he worked in Italy. The thinking of people in the area where he lived is still conservative. If there are children who work abroad, especially Faizal working in government offices, then surely his family life will prosper sentosa. Money and all needs are met. And looked upon by all his neighbors. Not underestimated anymore, like when he was in school first. In fact, since Faizal worked, he was able to renovate his parents' house, making his mother a grocery store and his father did not need to work in the rice fields of others anymore. Because Faizal already bought Nampu his father his own rice field. Working on their own land and he was able to send his sister until now has studied at one of the state universities in the capital. And, it felt like it was enough to make him return to his hometown. He decided to find a job in his own country.

Forehead Faizal wrinkled. Seen from the screen on his laptop, there was a man who had been watching him since. The shadow of the man is visible. If he noticed, indeed the man sitting on the opposite seat that was behind him continued to stare at the strange Faizal. Faizal closed his laptop. He wanted to check this out, just to make sure what he thought was wrong.

After putting the laptop on the side seat, he moved. His net was immediately fixed on the man he suspected. And sure enough, if he was staring at Faizal, and immediately looked the other way when discovered. His movements are suspicious. Faizal walked to the back. Seeking the whereabouts of his friends. After passing the man, Faizal just breathed a sigh of relief. He was looking for Abi and Vin. Be met. They are just busy with their partners.

Suddenly his back was on the side of something. Faizal glanced over and found that the oria was already behind him. "Road! To the toilet!" whispered.

Faizal complied and hoped his friends would see him. But his hopes are dashed. Abi closed his eyes, Vin too. He realized that it was impossible to scream. He committed suicide and threatened the lives of all the other passengers on the plane.

"Mom, I'm sorry that Faizal can't go home" he murmured inwardly. He went into the bathroom with the man.
