Secret Denis
Twelve

The little girl squirms. His eyes blinked adjusting the light coming into his retina. He tried to move both his hands. It only realized that both of his hands were fused in a very strong bond.

His eyes were moving wildly. Panic struck. Remembering what happened to him. His tears began to pour out from both of his eye sockets. I wanted to scream but I couldn't. His mouth was covered in duct tape.

His body shivered in fear. The stale smell made her breath feel even more crowded. He was in a car. In the front seat appeared two men with a burly body sitting leaning. Looks like they're sleeping. Outside, there were two other people. One of them is making a phone call.

The girl, Sisil, she looked at those people with a frightened look. His heart was pounding erratically. Who are those people, he thought. How did he get to this place?

His heart screamed calling his father. Calling everyone with his heart. He's so scared.

Outside the car, one of the men was busy with his phone.

"...is.iya. Take it easy boss, this time it won't fail..."

The man ended his call. Putting his phone in his jacket pocket.

"What did the boss say?" friend asked.

"We have to finish him off. The boss didn't want to know, he was furious." the man snorted. He looked at the circular clock on his wrist. Spread his eyes around the place. A very quiet place. Far from the road and crowds. There was a Sutet tower that marked the place in a flat place not far from where they parked the car. In front of them was a deep valley under which a rushing water river flowed. He told the father of the girl he was holding back to meet them here at eight in the morning.

It's almost eight o'clock. The sun is rising. For a long time the heat felt increasingly stinging.

"Wait a minute. They must have come." his friend said.

The sound of the motor engine distracts them. From a distance Denis was riding a motorcycle with Alex behind him.

The two men stared at each other. They knew Denis. They were preparing to welcome the guest who had been waiting for him. The two people in the car also knew Denis was coming. So too with Sisil. It was like he was yelling at Denis. But he couldn't do it because his mouth was still covered in duct tape.

Denis stopped the bike a bit away from the two men. Get off the bike and stand side by side with Alex. Waiting for what the two men standing near her car will do. The same car that came to the workshop the other day.

Those two people were the same people who made a mess in the workshop. They don't wear head coverings. Apparently they were pretty confident facing Denis today.

"Are you ready?" Denis asked Alex quietly without distracting him from the two men.

"I'm ready." Answer Alex steady.

"That's the same person who came to the workshop."

"Yes." Yeah."

Denis stepped his foot slightly slashing the distance between himself and the criminals. Alex followed behind him.

"Stop right there." Shoot one of them. His face was intimidating. It makes anyone who sees it. But not for Denis.

"Where's the girl?" Denis was not affected in the least by the look of those people. The man beckoned to his friend. Opened the car door and pulled out Sisil who had been wanting to shout calling Denis.

Denis was surprised to see the girl. Both hands were tied with their mouths slashed. His face was soaked with tears that it certainly did not stop flowing from fear.

"I hope you didn't make any silly plans that would hurt yourself." The man held Sisil's hand tightly. Sisil. He wanted to run towards Denis. His eyes implied full expectations on Denis.

"All you want is me. Don't ever interrupt the life of bang Theo and his family." Alex voices.

"It's your own fault for hiding in that house." The man grieved. He wants his business done soon. "Give yourself and this girl we'll give her back."

"alright. Never deny your words. Your business is only with me. Never mess with their lives." Alex took his foot. The person holding Sisil then stepped forward. As Alex steps closer to each other. While in a parallel position, Alex stops his steps. He glanced at the girl with pity. Then looked at the sangar man who was holding her with a sharp look.

"Tell me. Who paid you to kill me?"

"That's none of your business. Don't try to waste time. Hurry along!" Sent the guy. Alex took his foot back.

Denis prepares to welcome Sisil. His hands clenched impatiently to immediately beat up the people who had made the girl so frightened. The eyes of Sisil who continued to cry could not be separated from looking at Denis. It's as if Denis is the only hope that can free him at this moment.

The person who brought Sisil didn't seem to want to get too close to Denis. He stopped his steps once Alex had advanced enough to approach the person waiting for him. His hand pulled out a knife and pointed it at Sisil's neck. His gaze was wary seeing Denis and Alex alternating.

Denis gasps. It's very dangerous. The girl had not been within his reach and was now being held up using a sharp weapon. Over there Alex has arrived near the other person. He was quite surprised to see Sisil was under the threat of that person.

"Never hurt that girl" he growled. His hands are perfectly clenched.

"You don't have to think about it. Just think about yourself." The man laughed triumphantly. His voice echoed in that quiet place.

Sisil shivering. Especially when something cold touches his neck. His body suddenly suffocated and collapsed onto the earth.

Denis who kept watching Sisil saw the movement of the girl's body. He took advantage of the opportunity to lash out at the man who was pointing at Sisil. His powerful jump and at the same time kick his foot into the man's hand to throw the knife that is still drawn in his hand.

The man lost his focus for a moment due to the collapse of Sisil's body. He wasn't ready to accept Denis' sudden attack. The knife just slipped off when Denis's leg hit his wrist. He retreated several steps in anticipation of Denis's next attack.

Denis continues to hunt the man down. Attack him and keep him away from the body of Sisil who is still lying unconscious.

Alex is not silent. Seeing Denis start the attack, he immediately put up the horses. Ready to challenge the other guy. The man immediately attacked Alex. Doing punches and kicks that Alex swiftly served with nimble. The two men in the car immediately got off. One of them brandished a gun and shot it into the air.

The man holding the firearm pointed his gun at Alex.

"It's just this guy we want. His life is precious to us. You better not interfere."

Denis was in his place. He looked at Alex who was now being held by a firearm. Denis can see Alex's ability to deal with the criminal with his bare hands. But in the face of firearms, no one will dwell.

The man directed Alex to walk continuously near the ravine under which there is a river flowing. Alex slowly followed the man's orders. Sometimes he looked at Denis as if he still expected one more miracle that could save him from death.

Denis was in his place. From the corner of his eye he could see a movement behind a tree. Denis was a little relieved. He didn't see who it was, but he was sure it was Theo's bang.

He set his foot following the men leaving Sisil's body far behind. His main priority now was to keep Sisil out of the reach of those people.

The man who had been Denis' opponent immediately blocked his steps.

"Don't try or you'll die, too." Threaten him with a heavy voice. A sharp look was directed towards Denis. Denis stopped his steps by remaining vigilant.

Over there Alex is already on the brink. He looked at the person who was threatening him without the slightest fear.

"Before I die, tell me who wants my death. I beg you to say. Consider this my last request."

The guy grinned. His eyes were on his friend.

"Tell me. He wants to die too." His friend chuckles. He was laughing at Alex's fate, which was about to end.

"You can ask your mother who's been in hell. Haha.." those people laughed lightly. As if it was a funny thing for them.

"What do you mean?" Alex shivers. Hearing the words of that person made his blood boil. What does that guy mean? Is his mother dead?

"Your mom's dead, isn't she? Haha..," The person's body was shaken from laughing. But his laughter came to a halt when Alex jumped at him. Giving a punch from under his hand that holds the firearm so that the object was thrown far down the abyss. The man was surprised. But Alex's attack that followed left him with no chance to fight back.

His friend did not remain silent. He helps his friend fight Alex. And his friend again. Now there is a three-on-one fight.

Not far from the unbalanced fight, Denis again attacked another criminal. He punches and kicks repeatedly towards the man. In the previous fights he was already overwhelmed to face Denis. Now there is power, he must return against Denis whose power has not been reduced in the least.

Sisil who was still unconscious was far from the two fights. Bang Theo who had come sneaking through the forest finally had a chance to help his daughter immediately. He immediately lifted Sisil's body and brought him into the forest through the road he had passed. Lukman who saw from behind the tree immediately approached Theo bang.

Feeling that he was in a safe place, bang Theo immediately lowered Sisil's body. Opening the duct tape that closes his mouth and opening the bond in his hand.

Bang Theo's eyes were wet as his hands patted Sisil's cheeks gently.

"Wake up baby. It's papa." he called out to Sisil with a quivering voice. It was painful to see his beloved daughter in such a state. But he was very grateful because now Sisil was in his hands.

"We're taking it home. I'm afraid of why." Lukman. Voice slowly. Although their distance from the fight is far but they must remain vigilant not to be caught by the criminals.

"How are Denis and Alex?" Bang Theo was worried. She was very worried about her daughter. But he also wants to help Denis and Alex fight those criminals.

"How about I take Sisil home, bang. I'll bring the others to help fight those criminals." Lukman looked at Sisil's pale face. Bang Theo nodded in agreement. Lukman's proposal makes the most sense now.

"Bring it straight to the hospital. Call Mbak Fani to get ready there." bang Theo gave direction to Lukman. Lukman nodded. Bang Theo then re-raised Sisil's body and took him to where he and Lukman parked their car. It's a long way away. Go up and down a small hill. After passing through the forest and the thickets that were hilly, they arrived at the car owned by bang Theo.

Bang Theo immediately put Sisil's body in the back seat. Lukman immediately started the engine of the car and after getting a nod from Theo bang he immediately ran the car away from the place.

Bang Theo pulled out his phone. Contacting Mbak Fani to inform him about Sisil. But alas, the signal in that place is very bad. Many times he tried to call but did not connect in the slightest. With a bang Theo put his phone back in his pants pocket. Rushes back to Denis and Alex's place against the criminals.

By the forest he was stunned. The situation there is deserted. Two cars left the place. Why be two? Wasn't there just one car? Bang Theo was stunned to stare at the shadow of the two cars that were getting further and disappeared from his sight.

The only one who was there was Denis' bike. But where is the owner?

Bang Theo immediately runs towards the scene of a fierce fight between Alex and the criminals. He yells calling Denis and Alex's names alternately. He stuck his head out toward the ravine. Seeing maybe the two people he was looking for were down there. But he didn't see anything. Could Denis and Alex be taken away in both cars?

Bang Theo keeps trying to find Denis and Alex's tracks while calling their names in a shout.

Almost two hours bang Theo circled the place. Finally he sat down with a face of despair. Lukman came with a few people. They spend their curiosity by looking around the place. But no results were obtained. They eventually leave the place after believing there is no clue about Denis and Alex's whereabouts.
