SINDOORAH PROPHECY
THE RESURRECTION OF NINA RICCI

Police officers in emergency services uniforms gathered around a narrow well. There was Gerald, the commander, among them. The man stood firm watching his men work. Several policemen in protective suits, complete with helmets and floodlights on their heads, concentrated on pulling a rope that was originally used to bring down a colleague.

An officer was pulled out of the well and helped to release the oxygen tube attached to his back. His head was later shown to be a death sentence for Gerald. The attendant opened the face mask then gave a preliminary report with a somewhat shaken expression. "There's no woman down there, Commander. But, I found something else."

...***...

Gerald Davinsky won't let anyone out today. His pair of shady eyes might fool most people. But, behind it, he had the secret of a gaze as sharp as an eagle.

Back to base. Gerald aimed at every object that passed through the front door since he spent more time in the lobby than the local police chief's room. He was pacing there as his attention continued to be fixed towards the door, as if something was waiting for him. His attitude also influenced the atmosphere of the police headquarters he led. Everyone is carried away by a work tempo that can not be said to be relaxed.

Gerald teleported from one division to another like a ghost. This time, the commander was moved to monitor developments in the interrogation room. The sound of his footsteps caught the attention of Sergeant Andi who was in front of the peep window.

Their gazes were blaring. Gerald could see a pair of reddish eyes belonging to Sergeant Andi. The expression of the plainclothes police with the bodybuilder's body was immediately tense - they both had a heavy conversation in front of Ricci's villa to put Sergeant Andi in a difficult position.

“Commander,” greet the sergeant. However, Gerald is not the type of person who is possessive of gouging out other people's sins like gouging out a used piece of gum - except against some people.

The eagle's gaze from her shady eyes now locked onto the target of the two people in the room - a noble-looking middle-aged woman and a very beautiful young princess like Wonder Woman. Gerald glanced at Sergeant Andi who was unmoved, hoping that his men had a good reason for misidentifying the target of the operation until they lost the report maker.

“They still don't confess?” In Gerald's vision, the two women were determined to maintain a stout sitting position from the moment they were transported in a patrol car to the end of the room. The Ricci are famous for being conservative and stubborn. The key to success must have been flowing in their DNA. Unfortunately, this is connotative.

“Should we do them, Commander?” ask Sergeant Andi carefully, quickly learn. Instead of answering, Gerald immediately unlocked the door and went inside. Sergeant Andi also moved deftly tailed at his side.

The middle-aged woman looked down on them. Lady Olivia, the second wife of Norman Ricci, the man she married for money and the Ricci breed. Not with the princess beside him. The girl was injected with hormones when Gerald showed up. Naomi Ricci seems excited to date, especially when she sees wild curls falling on Gerald's sturdy forehead. Naomi's mind went everywhere.

“I still do not acknowledge everything you accuse me and my daughter!”

Just as Gerald was occupying a seat across the table, Olivia Ricci confirmed her statement. However, it did not seem to have any impact on Gerald. The commander leaned back and spoke softly to Sergeant Andi who was standing at the side, and the policeman with the appearance of the thugs left as instructed. Gerald doesn't talk or do anything until Sergeant Andi returns with a big box in his hand. Sergeant Andi put the box on the table. Smells the pungent aroma of onions when the lid is opened. Gerald then shifted the box across the table.

“You both definitely haven't had breakfast since morning. Go ahead. Still warm.” He offers a large pizza to Olivia and Naomi. Emergency lunch at their base.

Olivia looks haughty when looking at the contents of the box in front of her. Meanwhile, Naomi shamelessly took a piece, then another piece after the previous one was off in a matter of less than five minutes. Olivia glared at her daughter's behavior, but also could not bear if Naomi's muscles starved and then shrank. He also cleared his throat rebuking the princess to behave more gracefully. Like himself.

“Try, deh, Mi. Yummy!” Olivia brushed off Naomi's hand as the girl thrust the pizza into her mouth. Olivia's self-esteem is too high to be fed by the police who captivated them in this place.

“Coffee?” Gerald seemed to not take a headache and again offered a drink in a paper cup tightly sealed on the two.

“No, teri-”

“Naomi!”

The girl immediately took the cup from Gerald's handle, rubbing the back of the man's hand in a seductive manner. Gerald's lip line was drawn flat. He knew there must be something with this girl so Sergeant Andi lost his objective point of view this morning so they almost got it wrong. Basic jomlo, although not applicable to him.

“Then, I want to continue the previous question.”

“I told you that Nina is a fraud!”

“The show you are both far away and you can get snares extra article.” The police commander immediately returned to target the suspect in front of him.

“It's not our fault that Nina disappeared, sir! He himself ran into the forest!”

“No need to worry. Our team has been deployed to comb through the disappearance of your son-in-law in the forest around the villa. But, there must be a reason why Madam Nina ran away, Madam!”

Olivia's haughty face hardened. There was an air of deep hatred suddenly poisoning the air between them. Gerald won't be sweet now. “You threatened Nina as she reported in the phone last night?”

Unexpectedly, Olivia and Naomi laughed awkwardly. There was a questionable gaze thrown between the two. How could Nina know of their plan to get rid of the woman?

“Last night, we only had dinner as usual, Mr. Police! I have no idea what Nina is thinking! My daughter-in-law was desperate for a barren life! So, just understand if his mind is disturbed and so like to fantasize strangely.”

“We will immediately do a visa if Mrs Nina is found.”

The mother and son's faces now begin to pale and are caught in Gerald's vision. However, Olivia still denied. “You know who I am? I'm Olivia Ricci, the mother of the Ricci family heir who can buy people like you to be security guards at my place!”

Gerald deftly restrained Sergeant Andi's hand intending to break the table. Although he was also emotional like his subordinates, Gerald kept trying to master the situation and lead the interrogation.

"Madam Nina Ricci will definitely be found, following initial allegations that could incriminate both of you in court for using a false identity to trick the investigator." Gerald smiled faintly. In his belief, he still clung to a thin thread of hope, even if the sniffer dog team he plunge suffered a similar fate to the evacuation team. Gerald will return to the CTF and lead his own coordination to repeat the search.

Suddenly, the door of the interrogation room opened wide. An officer appeared with a nonchalant expression on his pajama face to tell them, "Report, sir! A woman named Nina Ricci is waiting outside looking for her family!"

There were screams from Olivia and Naomi Ricci who quickly closed their mouths.
