" It's bright here" Fitri said.
For five hours they wandered in the dark forest and now they came to the savanna.
" The grasslands are again but here only one hill is visible" Nanda said.
" well. Let's take a break" Shanaya asked. He gulped down a bottle of water and laid his body.
Followed by the other comrades, they lay there.
But another case with Gilang, somehow the man walked alone to get there.
He went up to the hill that was there. He set his eyes there carefully.
Foul smell.
There he saw the dead deer. The man approached her then examined her thoroughly. But his body trembled as he saw another carcass of a newly killed dog, fresh blood surrounding it.
" What is this? pici "rumbling.
" No, the color is different. Its fur is also brown but there is a white stripe line around its neck"
As fast as lightning the man ran. He stepped his feet with all his might and shouted to his friend as a wild beast leaped towards him with a roar.
When he arrived at the edge of the hill, he jumped down and then on top of his head he heard the sound of bullets shot by one of his colleagues downstairs.
" Aaaahhh" Gilang screamed almost at his meal.
" What animal is that?" ask Fitri fearfully.
" If you look at the shape of the animal, it is a cross between a lion and a tiger. He was deliberately created by humans" explained Dimas.
" The pants are strange" Sean said.
" Is your shot on target?" shanaya asked Denal.
" I missed, I miscalculated. I should have shot him in the head but he was shot in the leg"
" Prepare yourself. Time to move" Dimas ordered his partner.
They finally continued their journey.
They went up the hill, where the blood of the wounded animal was seen. Pici stepped quickly while sniffing the trail of blood.
" We follow his blood well" asked Dimas.
" I'm scared. Is that animal gonna strike us back?" ask Fitri.
" I'm sure it's no longer, the strange animal must have been seriously injured. He cannot walk for long if we follow this path. This can lead us to where the animal is helpless" Shanaya explained.
For only fifteen minutes they walked, the trail of blood was already invisible.
" Get up your guns, look around you" Dimas ordered.
The six colleagues immediately took their respective pistols and then stood guard.
" What's wrong sir?" ask Nanda.
" It's weird, the blood trail disappeared here in other words someone was helping the animal. Shouldn't be if the animal wasn't helped then he'd be limp helpless near here"
" and if it's true. Do you think animals can help animals by removing traces of blood?? it must have been humans who did it" Dimas said.
The six colleagues were shocked. They circulated his gaze here and there watching the surroundings.
" Aaahhhh" cried Sean, a rope dragging his feet. The man was hanging on top of the tree in an inverted position.
Piki was barking loudly at the top of the tree.
" Apaaaa" cried Shanaya. Everyone looked up at the tree to their surprise when up there appeared a woman with a random appearance standing on a twig along with an animal who had no idea what her name was.
" Who?"
" Hahahahahahaha" the woman laughed out loud.
" He's crazy. Is she Miss Shiren" said Dimas.
" What are you doing here. Do you want to take me home" he said with laughter.
" I'm sure that she must be Miss Shiren" Shanaya said.
" He was good at climbing trees" Fitri said.
" Hiks hyks hyks hyks" after laughing the woman cried. The seven people who were there only gaped at seeing scene after scene of the woman.
" Everything is evil, they are all evil torturing my son" he said.
Shanaya approached the woman then held her hand.
" Go away you, you're not my son" madam Shiren encouraged Shanaya.
" Mrs" said Shanaya.
" What is the madam doing here?" continued.
The woman did not answer Shanaya's question. He just sat biting his nails.
" I used to think my nails were pretty, but not anymore. My poor son, my son" he said.
" A.l.a....k....k....u..." The woman hummed.
" Mrs" said Shanaya again. He approached the woman and gave her some bread.
Madam Shiren stared at the bread for a moment then took it and ate it voraciously.
" What's the mother's son's name?" shanaya asked trying to communicate with the crazy woman.
Not answering Shanaya's question, the woman simply silently ate her bread.
Shanaya looked at his face.
" Such like someone but who is it?" Shanaya guesses nebak.
" What is Vita?? ah no, Vita has an egg round face while this woman has a very round face"
" Go you guys" the woman snapped. Then he turned away wanting to leave the place.
" Mistress wait" Shanaya said reaching out to Madame Shiren's hand.
" Get the hell out of here if you still want to live"
Dimas raised his gun back and pointed it at the woman.
" Who are you?? are you pretending to be crazy?" ask Dimas. His eyes looked at the woman.
The woman pegged in place but only briefly then turned to look at the seven of them. Now Shanaya can only gap to see it.
" I'm older than you, it's rude of you to call me "you're you" but I understand because this is the first time we've met. Next time do not repeat again" said the woman.
" Are you explorers or detectives or not cops. If you carry a gun it means you are not explorers because this island has no story out there if there are game animals here. Come with me but before that lift Mina from the top, she's harmless, she's my only friend on the island" she said, then cut off the rope that hung Sean.
Now Sean had to scream, both of his hands hitting the ground.
**
So Mina's the name of this animal?" ask Shanaya. The woman took Dimas' troupe somewhere.
" Yes"
" Mina's a person's name. Why is it called animal?" ask Shanaya again.
" Your question makes me sad young lady. I'll explain later" replied the woman.
" By the way. This animal is strange shape well, does not look like the shape of the animal in general?" fitri asked.
" He's a cross between a lion and a tiger. Her mother is a lion while her father is a tiger" explains Miss Shiren.
Now they arrived at a cave.
" Go in" he asked.
The seven of them entered the cave. At first everything looks random scramble that there is only a mat and a worn sarong but after they pass the secret door in the cave it all looks clean and neat.
" Please sit down, just find the most comfortable place for you. It's the first time in four years that I've had a guest"
Dimas circulated his views here and there. This place is in very good order.
