Revenge By Law's
ARTICLE 130

Darkness began to cover the sky, including the sky that overshadowed a small island far from the life of the capital. In the center of the island there is a field commonly used as a helicopter runway.

At that time, there was a helicopter sitting there. Inside, there is a pilot who has been preparing since noon to fly the air vehicle. In the passenger seat, there was Mr. Jireh who was busy watching from his phone while writing something on paper. Beside him, there was Indira who was asleep in a bound state.

“Finally, you realize too,” said Mr. Jireh on the sidelines of his laughter. “But baby, you're too late, Bastard Boy!”

Mr. Jireh patted the pilot's shoulder as a gesture to fly their helicopter.

Suddenly there were gunshots and sirens. A few seconds later, they heard someone talking to a loudspeaker to let them know they were surrounded. How surprised Mr. Jireh when he saw some marine police ships had circled the island with guns pointed at them.

“Please fly,” Mr. Jireh said.

The pilot had complied, but his guts were shriveled when a shot was fired into the air. He immediately lowered his helicopter.

“I told you, just fly!”

“Sorry, Sir. Looks like they will seriously shoot us if we don't turn ourselves in,” the pilot said.

“So is with me. I'll blow your head off if you land.” Mr. Jireh put the muzzle of his gun to the pilot's head. “They won't shoot us because there are hostages inside.”

The pilot finally obeyed Sir Jireh's orders. One of the ships fired something at the helicopter. Apparently, a copper rope is directly wrapped around the landing skids of the helicopter. The rope held the helicopter's motion so that it could no longer fly high. Shortly after, a giant pulley twisted the end of the rope so that the helicopter was forced to descend.

Mr. Jireh panicked. He knew he could no longer rely on the helicopter to escape. He looked down. There was still a possibility for him to jump into the sea. However, his eyes were long enough adrift on Indira. He did not want to lose that woman again.

With recklessness, Mr. Jireh tried to push Indira. His already troubled mind no longer thought of the devastating impact Indira would have if he were thrown into the sea in a bound state.

Fortunately, when Mr. Jireh tried to push him, Indira woke up. He was very surprised to realize the stressful situation. When he saw that master Jireh was pushing his body, Indira reflexively responded with a push as well, so the old man picked up and fell down. Right on board.

Mr. Jireh still regained consciousness for a moment. His vision was blurred and he could no longer see clearly. He could no longer control his body.

All of a sudden, he looked up, at the helicopter. He saw a woman looking at him. He knew it was the woman who pushed him down. The woman he loved so much.

“Official! Is dad that bad that you hate daddy so much?”

Slowly, his gaze grew increasingly blurred and now everything looked dark. He breathed his last with tears. And the history of the crime of the mysterious old man named Mr. Jireh was over.

The pilot surrendered and dropped off the helicopter voluntarily. Some police approached the helicopter. There are those who secure the pilot, there are also those who help Indira.

Previous day

Indira scrunched her forehead hearing Abi's words. Know where but don't know the location?

“You mean?”

“They must be on the island that Mr. Jireh once told you about. Another secret island that is also connected by the island in the middle of the reclamation was with a tunnel.”

“Ah, what a pity. The tunnel had been blown up by Mr. Jireh as he had just escaped from the police chase the other day,” Regina said. “We don't know where the island is.”

“Then, why hasn't he been out of the country since the beginning?”

“Simple only. He didn't have enough money to go there. Moreover he has a hostage,” replied Abi. “He is waiting for a lot of money and with that money he can buy a place to live and a new identity in another country.”

“Waiting for money?” Regina scrunched her forehead.

“Of course.” Abi straightened his seat with great difficulty while smiling. “Maybe you don't know yet, but I've. I already know the purpose of the bastard asking me to interview Mrs Hemas directly.”

“What?”

Abi smiled back, making Regina even more curious. “Who are your acquaintances whose position is the highest?”

                  *

Unlike Regina who looked tense and nervous, Abi's attitude was very calm. Occasionally he closed his eyes to endure the pain that had recurred in his left shoulder. If this morning he grumbled because he was bored constantly on the bed, now he regretted it and considered sleep the best activity he should do now.

Then, the door of the room opened. Abi and Indira immediately stood up to welcome the arrival of several people. One of them was an old man of great height and great charisma. Abi and Regina knew him because he was often a wara-wiri on television.

The man was Tandika Andronikus, or often called by the call of Mr. Andro. He is one of the president's special staff at the moment. More specifically, he was the president's spokesman. As a spokesman, he was the first to formally address an incident involving the president.

His charisma is very strong. Before becoming the president's spokesman, he was indeed a one-star general in the army. Despite being retired, his name is still legendary as an accomplished soldier.

“So, you are the legendary Abhimanyu Alexander, yes?” ask Mr. Andro while thrusting his hand to shake hands. Abi welcomed the hand with a smile.

“True, Sir.”

“Then, what do you want to talk about? Indeed, I've heard it at a glance and it looks quite interesting. But, I need more details.”

Abi thought for a moment. He must choose the right words so that the spokesman immediately understands and believes what he says. “It seems, I know how to find Hemas Treasure.”

Mr. Andro looked at him sharply. Yes, this is what he found interesting when he heard it at a glance. The arrest of Mrs Hemas did not necessarily bring the country to find the Treasure of Hemas which is said to be thousands of trillion. The woman had always denied the existence of the treasure, which the state should have. Treasures are mostly generated from ‘selling’ natural resources of the country on foreign companies.

“How to?” ask Andro with a heavy voice.

“I have to interview Mrs Hemas,” said Abi who caused an astonished reaction from Mr. Andro. “So morning a man who was an accomplice of Mrs Hemas named Mr. Jireh called me. He took my close friend hostage and threatened to harm him if he did not follow his orders. His order is to interview Mrs Hemas directly.”

“Then, what does it have to do with Hemas Treasure?”

“Monya Hemas is a petty woman who loves her property more than her life. Seeing how he had survived not to open his mouth about the Hemas Treasure, I assumed he had other plans for the treasure. Previously, he must have had an agreement with Mr. Jireh if something happened that they did not want, such as the situation as now. However, Mrs Hemas would not tell the location of the treasure before something they did not want actually happened. In my opinion, now is a situation where something they don't want it to happen.”

“So, what's the deal? How do we find the Treasure of Hemas?”

Abi was silent to see the presidential spokesman. It seemed, the man did not like the rambling explanation and his focus was only the Treasure Hemas.

“Rather than being controlled by the government, it would be better if the treasure was deposited on Mr. Jireh. With a lot of treasure, he still has a chance to be free,” said Abi. “It seems, Mrs Hemas will notify the location of the treasure through the interview”
