Revenge By Law's
ARTICLE 126

Jack smiled in satisfaction at having just received a sizable bonus from his office for his exclusive interview show today. He also promised a special recording that was no less phenomenal. Although he was currently aware that he was being sought by his people, Lord Jireh, he did not care. He just wants to meet his youngest daughter, Indira Christina.

It's almost here. Indira's office and residence are already visible. Jack's smile grew wider when he saw his daughter just came out of the building. He waved and wanted to call. However, the urgency was done because he realized the fear that was drawn from Indira's face. Like being chased by a ghost.

Finally, he understood the situation when he saw a man with a very chaotic appearance, coming out of the building also a few seconds after Indira came out. In his hand was a knife.

With all his might, Jack ran towards them. In the middle of the road, he took a stone as big as his fist. On the other hand, Indira was surprised when she saw a figure like her father was coming quickly towards her. He almost forgot the man chasing him in the back.

The figure began to approach him and Indira was able to confirm that it was the figure of his father. The man did not come to approach Indira. He passed the petite lawyer and headed for Jesse Arnold.

“Papa!” indira shouted when she saw Jack who was immediately stabbed by Jesse with his movement that was still agile.

Jack groaned in pain. However, he held the hand of Jesse Arnold who used to stab him in the stomach. Jesse was surprised because he couldn't let go of that grip.

“Job! How dare you disturb my little daughter,” said Jack whose voice was already trembling from enduring the excruciating pain.

With all his strength, he smashed the stone he had picked up in Jesse's head. Not just once, but many times until blood poured out of the man's dreadful head. Jesse Arnold finally let go of his knife and fell to the ground. For the last time, Jack lifted the stone with both hands before it was thrown into Jesse Arnold's face as tightly as it was.

“Papa!”

Indira immediately hugged his father from behind, while making his body as a support for the father's body that began to drift because enough blood came out of the stab wound. Jack could no longer stand. He sat his body carefully while holding a knife that was still stuck in the upper part of his stomach. Apparently, it still hurts. Indira realized that and put Jack to sleep with his head in his lap.

“In, Indira,” said Jack in a voice that had vibrated. He smiled as he knew his position allowed him to see his daughter's face.

“Iya, Papa,” Indira said with tears breaking.

“Ka, are you okay?”

Indira's cries are breaking. He did not expect, in the midst of his struggle to endure the pain, the father was still worried about him. Indeed, it was a natural action that any parent could take on his or her child. But, in his lifetime, Indira has never really felt the feeling of having parents.

His mother died when he was a child, while he had never considered Jack as his father. Naturally, when he saw the great sacrifice that Jack had made to him, he felt an immense turmoil. For the first time in his life, he finally saw the affection of a father. He regretted his hateful days with the man.

“Don't die!” indira shouted in the middle of her sobs. “Don't die and be our papa. I will persuade Mrs Ratih to forgive you. We'll treat you like a father. So, don't die now!”

Jack smiled at the words. His blood-filled hands tried hard to caress Indira's cheeks. The knife seemed to break several ribs and injure his lungs. Indira has just contacted medical assistance and it will take quite a long time for the medical team to come to the site. Jack realized that his current condition is not very good. He knew that his life would not be helped. For that, he wanted to enjoy the last days of his life by looking at the face of his youngest daughter.

“Ka, you look a lot like your mother,” she said softly.

“Do not talk much, so as not to feel more pain,” said Indira while holding the hand of Jack who was caressing his cheek.

Jack slowly closed his eyes and a few seconds later Indira felt the hand he was holding had drooped.

“PAPA!”

Regina and Rinjani just came out of Indira's office while enduring pain. They were so shocked to see Jesse Arnold already lying with his head full of impact wounds. No less surprising when he saw Indira who was crying while holding Jack Off the Record lying helplessly with a knife stuck near his chest.

They walked slowly towards Indira while trying to calm her down. Shortly thereafter, a police car siren was heard, followed by an ambulance. The police communicate with Regina and take care of Jesse Arnold who is not yet known whether he is alive or not, while Rinjani discusses with the medical team to explain Jack's condition and asks them to let Indira spend a little more time together with her father.

Abi was still calm despite dozens of firearms being pointed at him. He tried to cover up his worries if his plan would fail.

“The biggest mistake I've made in the last few months is letting you go too far. I should have listened to my assistant from the beginning, which was to finish you off. But, I will assume that everything that happened during this time was an entertainment in my old age. Even though you made my relationship with Indira end up annoying, I enjoyed the surprise after surprise that you gave,”, said Mr. Jireh.

He pulled out a gun from behind his suit and shot. Abi who did not expect the shot must receive ‘touch’ ferocious bullets from the gun of Mr. Jireh until he fell behind the rock.

“Do not move!”

Without master Jireh guessing, a voice sounded from the distance. He sharpened his gaze and was surprised when he realized the presence of a police force from the source of the voice.

Some of his men were surprised and spontaneously fired their pistols at the troops.

“Stupid! Don't shoot!”

Unfortunately, the order from Lord Jireh was too late. The shootout happened. Seeing that the situation had started to go awry, Mr. Jireh ran towards one of his helicopters. He also managed to escape.

The shootout itself happened shortly, only about five minutes. The police won the battle.

All of Mr. Jireh's men were successfully incapacitated. They were immediately taken into custody by the police. One of the policemen, who appeared to be more senior than the others, was walking near the scene where Abi was shot.

“Hey, you are Abhimanyu Alexander, yes?” ask the cop.

“Eh, I don't -”

“Already, to be honest. I am a good cop, kok,” said the policeman. “Include, I'm Iptu Nyoman, Regina's former superior. You can trust me.”
