Psychopaths Since Early
No Stranger

Vira regulated her wheezing breath. Vira's lower lips were deathly pale and trembling. His body shivered from the cold.

The crew was 5 people.4 men in their 40s. And 1 man aged 20 years and over. They were confused to see Vira. Just this time they found a girl swimming in the middle of the sea by herself.

"Mobile phone" said Vira.

"Hhh?" all the men raised their eyebrows next to them.

"You got a cell phone?" ask Vira.

"Have. But our phones are dead because they're running out of power." replied one of the crew.

"Damn!" vira Aspirat.

They were silent and still watching Vira. Out of nowhere, a man in his 20s, approaches Vira and puts a jacket on Vira. Vira was a little surprised at the man's treatment.

"Hi, my name is Ian" he said with a smile.

Ian stretched out his hand at Vira to shake hands. Doubtfully Vira returned Ian's hand and shook hands with him. Ian was surprised to feel Vira's hand was so cold.

"Your hands are cold" Ian said.

"We'd better get inside. Looks like there's going to be a storm" said the crew of another ship.

"Yes." agrees Ian.

The crew of another ship had already entered the inside of the ship. Vira and Ian. Ian stood up and waited for Vira to stand up. Vira tried to stand up, but she had no strength. His body is too weak.

With his own initiative, Ian carried the body of Vira ala bridal style. He took Vira into the inside of the ship. Vira was surprised because Ian suddenly carried her.

Is this guy? Is he not afraid of me? I brought a weapon. Thought Vira.

Once inside, Ian sat down Vira. Then he poured hot water from the flask on the glass. Ian gave the water to Vira.

"Take this. It'll make you feel warm" Ian said.

Vira accepted the glass without saying thank you.

"Oh yeah, you haven't told me whose name you are." Ian wants to know Vira's name.

"Syavira." replied Vira.

"Syavira's? Pretty name." praise Ian. "Can I call you Sya?" ask Ian.

"Whatever." replied Vira.

The 4 other men only paid attention to Ian and Vira's interactions. They feel foreign to seeing Vira. They've never seen Vira before.

"Syafira, who are you? Why are you carrying a gun?" ask a man named Samuel.

"How did you get hurt?" ask a guy named Geri.

"What happened to you, so you're like this?" ask a guy named Luis.

The four men got a sharp look from Ian. It was as if Ian was hinting to be quiet and not to speak.

Vira was silent while staring at one by one of them. Vira couldn't possibly tell who she really was. He also could not say if he had just escaped from a j4lang called Hanny.

"Em. I, I mean I'm a cop." Vira lied to me.

"Police?" wonder Samuel. They looked surprised at Vira's reply.

"Why can a policeman be in the middle of the sea? Is there a navy cop now?" weird Geri.

"I'm on a duty. But get lost and end up like this." Vira's alibi.

"Oh.. That so? Why the you-" when Robet was about to ask, she got a deathly look from Ian. Robet immediately huffed.

"That's it. You guys don't ask Sya anymore." said Ian and got a nod from them.

Vira could feel the change from the four people after Ian said. Vira is sure they are no ordinary fishermen. Something is suspicious. Vira still doesn't know they're enemies or friends. They could be part of Hanny's group.

"How long will it be on land?" ask Vira.

"About 1.5 hours." replied Ian.

Vira fell silent. Vira hoped that when he reached the mainland, he would not be in country Y anymore. He's fed up with the Y country and Hanny.

"After arriving on the mainland, I will treat your wounds. Now you better get some sleep. You must be tired after you've been rocking the sea" said Ian.

"No. I'll stay awake." reject Vira.

Vira hugged her knees holding back the cold. Despite wearing a jacket and drinking warm water, Vira still felt cold. His gaze was straight in front of his eyes not blinking often.

"Well if it wants you. Sorry, we don't have any food. Our food supply is up." said Ian.

"No problem." replied Vira.

Ian looked at Vira closely. Ian knew Vira was lying. Vira is not a cop. He also knew that Vira was not an ordinary citizen. Ian knew from Vira's gaze. That look is different.

Who exactly is this woman? Why can't I read his mind? I can't predict what he'll say either. His eyes are very sharp. Think Ian.

For Ian, Vira is the most mysterious girl he has ever met. With the tattoo painted under his nape, the aura of vira's mysteriousness increased.

Wait, tattoos? Ian found something familiar. Ian had seen that tattoo. The tattoo with a picture of a cobra wrapped around a sword and the snake wearing a crown on its head. Ian was very confident that Vira was an important person in a dangerous organization.
