Revenge By Law's
ARTICLE 75

The hospital was still in a state of panic when Regina arrived. The policewoman asked one of the nurses who was still waiting for some of her colleagues to come from inside. Meanwhile, Abi and Indira hide while paying attention to Regina's movements.

“That's it!”

Indira pointed towards a man dressed as a hospital patient who was walking around. That is Rama. Indira waved her hand for Rama to see their whereabouts. When Rama saw and was about to wave his hand as well, Indira gestured not to do so while pointing towards Regina.

“Where are the police guards?” abi asked when Rama was in front of them.

“Somehow, I left them when we were about to take the elevator,” replied Rama with a breath of breath.

“Eh, it looks like you won't have time. The guards had already exited the building and Regina would soon be sure to see their whereabouts,” Indira info when she saw a group of people dressed in police clothes were confused looking for someone who must be Abi.

Meanwhile, Regina felt increasingly suspicious when she saw the commotion that was going on. He was sure, this must have something to do with the report he heard about Abi. In the midst of a very crowded situation, he could not yet think what was really happening. He could only think of immediately finding his comrades in charge of guarding Abi.

“Briptu Adi, Briptu Soetrisno, what is going on? Where are the prisoners?”

The two policemen Regina met were in a daze of surprise at the appearance of her senior. They look nervous and don't know what to say.

“Eh, uh, we heard there was a fire alarm, and then we tried to get the prisoner out of the building. But -”

“But why?” regina asked annoyed at the way her colleague answered that was so slow.

“You don't have to worry about it.” There was a sound from a distance that was unmistakably aimed at Regina

The two policemen survive the spooky situation that Regina throws when one of their seniors, Aiptu Khairul, calls while holding Abi, unbeknownst to them is Abi who is different from the last one they saw.

“What really happened? Did he run away?” Regina again asked the two juniors with angry faces.

“Ti, ti, no. Aiptu Khairul just took her to the toilet for a while.”

The police officer named Khairul came by forcibly pulling Abi. He smiled when he saw Regina's face that was like she was about to eat it.

“Halo, Beautiful Regina. Looks like you don't have to come to me like this just because of kangen,” said Aiptu Khairul with a big smile.

Regina ignored the friendly greeting, even ignoring the man, and immediately pulled the collar of Abi's shirt.

“You! Don't do strange things!” regina said in a suppressed voice, like she was pressing her irritation on Abi in front of her colleague.

Abi did not reply and just smiled, making Regina even more annoyed. He looked towards Aiptu Khairul and his two juniors, then said, “Take a good look.”

Unexpectedly, Regina slid her fist into Abi's face until the man fell down and spat fresh blood on his nose. Everyone around them looked on with fear.

“What are you doing? You're a cop, you can't do it, even to a prisoner.”

“Second my punch has a characteristic and no one can imitate it. So, if this punch mark on his face changes, you have to tell me.”

Everyone who heard it did not understand Regina's intentions at all. However, Aiptu Khairul considered the current situation to be very bad.

“Take him away from here,” Aiptu Khairul's word. The two juniors pulled Abi and took her away from Regina. Then, Aiptu Khairul looked at Regina who still looked annoyed. “Come on, you don't have to come full of emotions like that. Cerrily.”

“It does not seem to have really happened fire,” said Regina, still ignoring the remark of her colleague. “According to your observation, was there no change between Abi's physique before and after she disappeared earlier?”

“What changes? You're just..”

Aiptu Khairul suddenly fell silent. He remembered the figure of his prisoner before he disappeared in front of the elevator earlier. Indeed, his body was not as tall as just now and his shoulders were also not a plot just now. Then his mouth gaped as he looked at Regina. From that expression on his face, Regina already knew the answer.

“You should have hit him. Know that, I'll let you hit him two or three more times.”

                  *

Regina did not take her gaze off Abi for a second. That look made Abi feel very uncomfortable. He pretended not to see and whistled his finger to the edge of the bed. In his nostrils was still clogged with cotton to restrain the blood flow from within.

“You must have done something that wasn't right, right? I've known you for a long time and I know that your expression is like that, you're covering something up,” Regina said trying to put pressure on Abi.

“Sok know. Is it something not true what I would have done?”

“Hospital alarm. I know, you must have manipulated it so it lit up even if there was no fire.”

“But, a fire really happened in the warehouse. Well, although it was not big, but it is very possible to sound a warning alarm to the entire building.”

“I know, because of that... Wait, where do you know the alarm went off because there was a small fire in the warehouse? As I recall, no one told him.”

“Eh, I just heard a glance,” please Abi. He regretted speaking wrongly.

Regina brought her face closer to Abi's face so that the full expression of anger from that face could be seen very clearly in Abi's eyes. He was very nervous because he knew how his best friend was when he was angry. He will not pay attention to anything until his anger is released.

“You must know if there is a regulation about setting up a false alarm, right?”

“Eh, i, yes. Article 172 of the Penal Code, Whosoever intentionally disturbs the serenity by issuing false cries, or signs of danger, threatened with imprisonment of at most three weeks or a fine of at most nine hundred rupiah. And article 503 of the Criminal Code, Threatened with a maximum imprisonment of three days or a maximum fine of two hundred and twenty-five rupiahs: whoever makes frenzy or boisterous, so that nighttime tranquility can be disrupted.”

“Then, why did you do it, Mr Most Legal Understand?”

Abi gawked, then let out an innocent smile. She knew Regina always withered when she saw that innocent smile. But this time the smile did not work. The angry look on his face did not change at all.

“U, what am I doing it for? Do you think I'm too bored here to do something so stupid?”

Regina took a long breath. He was tired of luring Abi into telling him what was really going on on his own initiative. It seems he should say it directly.

“Tell me the truth, you and Rama swapped places, right? Just a moment ago, before the hospital alarm went off, the one in this place was Rama and you were wandering around out there.”

Abi fell silent. Seeing Regina's arrival and how the woman had been suppressing her since earlier, he could guess that Regina had been suspicious of her actions all night. But, before Regina showed any solid evidence, she would continue to deny.

“You watch too many movies. How could a person who didn't pass High School fool four or five policemen who were constantly on guard around him?”

“This has nothing to do with diplomas. I know, you and Rama very likely did.”

“You mean, you're accusing us of fraud? I'm heartbroken.”

“Stop diverting talk or I will make a new punch mark.”

Abi fell silent and lowered his head. He knew Regina was not a person who could easily believe something. But, when he was certain, he would be hard to shake. Abi sees Regina already at the point of being very confident that she is swapping places with Rama.

“You know? What are you doing including a serious offense?”

“Eh, in fact I have never read the laws governing prisoners escaping from the hospital while being treated. Could be, if I did, I wouldn't get -”

“Shut!”

Abi bowed again after Regina snapped at him. Some policemen were guarding up to peek from the door because the clash was quite loud.

“Intinya, I deny your accusations. There is no hard evidence. If relying on the alleged police guards about my height that changed, it could not be used as evidence.”

Regina pulled out her phone and looked for some photo files and showed them to Abi. The man was shocked by the pictures. Those were some of his photos when he went outside with Indira a few hours ago.

“Where did you get it? Ah, no. That wasn't me. It's obvious that it's Rama.”

Regina again let out a long sigh while pulling back her phone.

“How many times do I have to tell you? I am the person who knows you the most, even more than yourself. If only the nose is visible, I still know if it's your nose or not.”

Abi fell silent. He could not avoid Regina's every word. However, the question remains who sent the photos to Regina.
