The Devil's Legs Upside
The more confusing

Julia seemed to think to herself, she stared at the ceiling of the room while moving her fingers as if counting something.

"Twenty years!" (Twenty years!) Ketus Julia's.

"Huh?"

"Mr.Dennis has been working here for twenty years! Are you trying to say that He is Pretni since twenty years ago?" (Mr.Dennis has been working here for twenty years! Are you telling me that he's Pretni from twenty years ago?)

"Who knows ..." (Who knows ..) Lim said confused.

"Wait!! What if ... Mr.Dennis and Mr.Xoliza were normal person before, then our ship came" (Wait!! What if ... Mr. Dennis and Mr.Xoliza are actually normal humans, then our ship comes) Julia said spontaneously. He did not appear to accept Lim's accusations

Lim and I were shocked!

"Then .. it’s true that our ship that brought Pretni?” (So ... does that mean, our ship was the one carrying Pretni?) Lim tried to deduce what Julia said.

"Not that fast! How about Mr.Brad and Miss Dunn?" (Not so fast! What about Mr.Brad and Miss Dunn) Cut me out.

"Are you saying that they were killed by Pretni?” (Do you want to say they killed Pretni too?)

"Possibly by Mr. Xoliza and Mr. Dennis's Pretni" (Perhaps by Pretni Mr.Xoliza and Mr.Dennis)

"WHAT! There is no way! I talked with Mr. Denis, we worked together! And he was normal all the way!" (WHAT! No way! I'm talking to Mr. Dennis, we work together! And she's a whole normal!) Julia looks at me cynically. "They might be runaway like Mr.Teigl said!" (They may have actually run away, as Mr.Teigl said).

I can't help but believe Julia's words. I buried my eyes on the floor, all this getting confusing…

There are two possibilities that can happen. First, if we match Mr.'s disappearance. Brad and Miss Dunn before we worked here, there's a good chance they were missing killed by Pretni, killed by Mr.Xoliza and or Mr. Denis. Or maybe there's another Pretni who killed them? Second, as Julia tries to explain, Mr. Brad and Miss Dunn are indeed on the run, nothing to do with any of this. Then, our ship came carrying Pretni who ended up killing Mr.Dennis and Mr.Xoliza. I have to find the truth on those two possibilities first.

"Gagan, there Mr. Brad and Miss Dunn Pretni too?" (Gagan.. Did Mr.Brad and Miss Dunn also Pretni).

Julia and Lim were shocked when I asked. Of course, the one who knows something like this is Gagan who has been working here for half a year. Besides, Gagan was there too when they both disappeared.

“I think ..” (Kayaknya..) said Gagan slowly, his face looks sad.

“What? Are you not sure?” (What? You're not sure?)

“Mr Teigl not believe me...” (Mr.Teigl does not believe me..).

“Did you see, It?” (You see, That?)

Gagan seemed silent for a moment. “Not clear ...” (Unclear..).

“What make you think they are Pretni?” (What makes you think they're Pretni?) I asked the more curious

“Uncle Kajam tell me ..” (Uncle Sharp tell me..).

“Sharp, Who?” (Sharp, Who?)

“Uncle Kajam working the dock, Living Platform dock .. he.. tell me .. he see Pretni” (Uncle Kajam working on dock, dock Living Platform .. him … he saw Pretni) Gagan said tearfully.

Looks like Gagan was about to tell us that Uncle Kajam, a Living Platform dock worker, told us that he saw Pretni. According to Gagan, Kajam's uncle saw Pretni on the day Mr.Brad and Miss Dunn disappeared.

“That’s it! Both Mr Brad and Miss Dunn are Pretni” (Yes Kan! Mr. Brad and Miss Dunn are both Pretni)

“What make you think they are Pretni, Dima?” (What makes them think Pretni, Dima?) Lim asked back to me in astonishment.

Lim and Julia looked in disbelief, from their faces, as if they disagreed with what I said. I was just thinking about the worst possible outcome of every event that had happened. I mean, we all watched it, right? That terrible creature can be anyone on this Bridge. There will be someone who suddenly disappears somewhere, if we face like this. Including the disappearance of Mr.Brad and Miss Dunn, it would be logical to link up with Pretni. Mr. Teigl's explanation this afternoon, totally bullshit in my opinion, is absurd. Gagan did not rule out this possibility.

To be honest, the more I analyze this matter, the more fur I sit on my back in horror. Because if my theory is correct, there are a lot of Pretni on this bridge, and we don't know anyone who has become Pretni.

“Let’s just ask this ‘Uncle Kajam’, don’t make any conclusion just yet... don’t scare me...” (We should ask ‘This Park of Kajam’, do not make a conclusion first …) Cut Julia.

“Uncle Kajam is …. Gone ..” (Uncle Sharp... Disappear.).

The eyes of the three of us were wide in shock staring at Gagan. Gagan's eyes from earlier glazed over finally shed tears. He began to groan miserably, like a fussy little boy. For some reason, my hands stretched out and hugged his round head. Gagan kept crying in my arms. Lim and Julia immediately limp, they lean on the engine body around.

The four of us were so tired and frightened that now only the four of us knew that there was one more person missing in this bridge. That means a total of five people disappeared, whether they disappeared because Pretni was killed or indeed escaped as Julia said, we all do not know. Gagan seemed to have told him everything he knew. There are still many unanswered questions, many unexplained irregularities.

“Let’s stop here .. I’m tired” (Stop here first .. I'm tired) ketus Julia.

“Yeah ... me too” (Yes.. I also) timpalku.

Lim reached into his pants pocket and picked up his smartphone “It’s almost midnight” (It's almost midnight)

“Ok, lets go back .. Just remember, don’t tell anyone about what we just talked” (Ok, let's go home .. But remember, don't tell anyone about our conversation just now)

“Why is that?” (Why?) ask Julia.

“We can’t trust them, Julia! They could be Pretni!” (We can't trust them, Julia! They could have been Pretni himself!) Ketus Lim's.

What Lim said was true, given the possibility that Mr. Brad and Miss Dunn were killed by Pretni, meaning Pretni was already on this Bridge from the start. Because of all the creature's monstrous abilities, anyone can become a Pretni. Oh my God .. Is everything we think true?

“I see ... Just look out on their foot, right Gagan?” (Paham ... Anyway just look at their feet right, Gagan?) julia meredek said. It seems that he does not fully believe in the characteristics of Pretni that Gagan described earlier.

The three of us got up and were about to walk away, but Gagan suddenly stood up and took my hand again. With teary eyes and a frightened face, he made it clear to me that tonight might come with us. Of course he was afraid, after twice seeing Pretni with his own eyes, and on the two bridges that flank the Generator-Compressor Platform. I then discussed with Lim, to let Gagan sleep in our room tonight. Lim agreed, he also understood that Gagan was very afraid to sleep alone here.

The four of us then went out of the corner of that narrow alley, back through the engine sidelines, and out to the main road of the Generator-Compressor Platform. At first we will turn to the bridge that leads to the Living Platform, but we remember that the bridge was the bridge where Mr.Xoliza jumped immediately we undo the intention. We prefer to turn the direction towards the Well-head Platform bridge. Passed the location where Mr. Dennis jumped last night. Actually, whatever bridge we went through, it wasn't safe .. I feel like anywhere in the bridge, it's not safe anymore.

At that time the moon set his body so mighty above the sky. Its bright radiating light split the ocean fog that covered the bridge. Slowly, the four of us passed through ropes of danger markers made to limit the bloody trail that appeared last night, foot-to-foot after Mr. Dennis's missing. My eyes glared at the floor, those bloody footprints had already faded and were almost invisible. Perhaps the bloodstains were wiped away by the moist and cold sea breeze, it was only natural.

“Lim ..”

Lim and Julia turned towards me “Huh?”

“Why did they .. Jump?” (Why they…. Jump off?) my many.

“Stop it .. I’m tired to think again, Dimas!” snatch Julia at me.

I was a little scared, looking at Julia with her beautiful face that was now so lethargic and pale. He must be so exhausted, after all the events that happened all day. I actually wanted to continue my battle, but seeing Julia, I dropped my intentions.

“We’ll soon know ... tomorrow ..” (We will know .. Tomorrow)

“Huh?”

“The Police will come tomorrow, no..” (Police will come tomorrow, no..) Lim saw the clock on his smartphone, “This morning...” (This morning...)
