Revenge By Law's
ARTICLE 11

Indira checked the copy of the News Event Case (BAP) that she had just received from the investigator while glancing at Abi who was in front of her. The client still yawns while occasionally rubbing his eyes. The examination yesterday lasted for nearly twelve hours by four investigators with over fifty questions.

“How about your sleep? Yappy?” ask Indira.

“Very not good. They didn't torture me. But their convoluted questioning, as if forcing me to admit all the accusations, was exhausting for me mentally. Even after the examination was over, my mind continued to work. Plus our room was very hot last night and a lot of mosquitoes. As a result, I have trouble sleeping.”

Indira nodded as if to show her empathy. He asked just to talk. Just answer with yes or no. Unexpectedly, Abi provided far more information than Indira expected.

“There's another thing you want to talk about?”

Indira's gaze could not be separated from the face of Abi who was thinking about something. He really hopes Abi discusses rocker-looking women who call him ‘Suami’. Since it has entered the private sphere, of course Indira is reluctant to ask it directly. But curiosity urged him to find out.

“Nothing. Let's just talk about our next action.”

Unfortunately, Abi did not lead to the discussion.

“Ingin to read it again?” Indira brandished a copy of BAP which he held to Abi.

“No. I still remember all the questions and before signing it, I had checked it carefully.”

“Alright then.”

Indira put the copy back on the table thinking, what else should he talk to his client.

“It seems now is time for you to do your craft,” said Abi who left Indira confused.

“My expertise?”

“Iya, investigation.”

Indira raised one of her eyebrows for not understanding what Abi said. Since when did he claim to be an expert in the investigation? Or, how could Abi judge himself to be an expert in the investigation?

“Why do you say that?”

“I've guessed. Even you yourself are not aware that your advantage is investigation. Though it was the second reason I appointed you as my lawyer.”

Indira showed an expression of objection to Abi's judgment. Not because he did not like it, but because he realized that all this investigation did not look special. He only performs standard procedures in conducting investigations.

“I'll withdraw my words if you don't accept. But, after hearing someone say so, I'm sure you'll soon realize if it's true,” Abi said with a smile.

Seeing from his attitude, Indira saw Abi seriously. Although he had yet to agree, he felt a spirit begin to grow within him. The pressure he feels for defending a suspect from the case that has attracted the most public attention today is starting to wane after getting a confession from someone. He thinks Abi chose him as a lawyer because he had no other choice. It's fun to know there's more than one reason someone believes it.

“In your opinion, what should we investigate first?”

Abi smiled looking at Indira's face which was much more confident than before.

Indira stands.

“You really aren't Abi?” indira asked the man in front of her.

“Of course not, Brother. I am Rama Alexander, brother of Abhimanyu Alexander. You could say, Rama is the lite version of Bang Abi,” said a man who was in front of Indira.

At first glance, Rama and Abi are very similar. However, if viewed more carefully, will look striking differences. For example, Rama's body is much shorter, his skin color is slightly darker and his cheeks are more contained. Not to mention his crisp voice, different from Abi who sounded authoritative. Worth being similar, it turns out they are brothers.

“Abi has told you that -”

“Already, Brother. Bang Abi has told Rama that during the investigation, Rama will accompany Brother,” he said with a smile that could not be separated from his face. “Because there's no need to be afraid. Rama mastered various martial arts and had a lot of connections. So, Sister can investigate by calm down and easy.”

Indira was surprised and happy with the self-promotion carried out by Rama. It is true that Abi said earlier that he will be helped by someone who is very useful and trustworthy during his investigation, even though this man likes to use English brutally. He stretched out his hand to shake hands as a sign of their introduction.

“Include, I'm Indira Christina. Hopefully we can work well together,” said Indira while throwing a smile.

“Oh, of course. We will become Super Team,” reply Rama with a louder voice while welcoming Indira's hand. “Now, where are we going?”

“We better go to TKP first,” suggested Indira.

“Good, immediately browsing.”

Rama took the key in his pocket and brandished it while pressing the button. A sound like a car alarm came from one direction. Indira was relieved because during the investigation will use the car as a means of transportation.

“Please, Brother,” said Rama kindly invited Indira to ride his vehicle.

Indira turned to the right and left, looking for the car that Rama meant. There aren't. The nearest one was a car parked a little far from where they were, but the distance did not match the sound of the alarm he had heard earlier.

“Where is the car?” ask Indira.

“Not a car, Brother. We're going around town looking for the truth with Combat Grasshoppers.”

Rama pointed to an old dual sport type motorcycle that has undergone various modifications that are quite tacky. His high position made Indira already feel tired first. Not a trauma, but he had a lot of bad experiences with the bike. If possible, he prefers to use other means of transportation. For the past few years, he has tried not to use the means of transportation.

“Do we not use the car alone?” ask Indira.

“Oh, can't, Brother. Investigating in the middle of this busy and crowded big city, we need a vehicle with high mobility, which can avoid city road congestion. Although more comfortable and luxurious, the car will only slow down our movement. With Combat Grasshoppers, we will be able to move from one place to another quickly, even like teleporting.”

“It looks like our investigation doesn't really need that mobility -”

“Nobody knows the future, Sister. For example now, we will check the TKP building. It turns out that the building will soon be destroyed by criminals to eliminate evidence.”

“But the building will not be demolished anytime soon.”

“Or Sister knows who the criminal behind all the cases that befell bang Abi, but it turns out the perpetrator was at the airport about to escape to overseas.” Rama was silent for a while, then spoke in a calmer tone, “In addition, we do not have enough money to buy or just rent a car.”

Indira. The calm and easy shadow of the investigation suddenly collapsed after knowing what kind of person would accompany him.

“Good. Grasshopper Combat,” said Indira with resigned tone.
