TRAGEDY AUGUST 13 '98
SECTION 102
“Let me ask you one thing. Did you tell me everything you did to Sister Can?”
“What do you mean?”
“What were you talking about last night?”
“Why are you asking? Do I have to report to you too?”
“JIka is about me, then you ....”.
“No. It's about me, not about you.” Zaid. “I said be honest with him.”
“What did you say?”
“I just said, The fact that you and I are just coworkers. However, you made it very difficult for me and made me worry. That's it.”
“Sial! Why are you saying that? I told you, right? We must remain within one meter.” Anna was angry. Making Zaid was also carried away by his emotions.
“I've kept a distance of one meter with you! Measure it with a meter if you don't believe it. You can mark where you stand right now, and take the meter, then measure right now.”
“Wah, apparently you are good at refuting. Are you playing with me?”
Zaid snorted in annoyance.
“Play? You say I play? I told you I liked you. I'm not saying you're the one who likes me.”
“Tell your sister that you have no feelings for me. Your brother won't misunderstand, so, you don't have to worry.”
Anna was silent hearing it.
“After all, if I make you uncomfortable. I'm sorry. I can guarantee this won't happen again. I'm sorry.” Zaid bowed, then left Anna alone.

That night at Zaid's base.
From Can's house. Zaid didn't go straight back to his base. He's walking around alone. Spend time alone, and contemplate alone.
Go to a bar by yourself. Enjoy three glasses of whiskey, and smoke a cigarette. Wreaking all his thoughts on the puff of exhaled cigarette smoke.
And when he returned to his base, he found the Emir in confusion.
The Emir sits at the end of the room. He bends down and holds his own head. It looked so lethargic that night.
“Hey, Hail! What the hell are you doing there? Why does your face look so lethargic? You stressed?”
The Emir raised his head from the table. “From now on, you need to be more careful.”
“What do you mean?” Zaid's approaching. Sitting in front of him.
“When I was with my boss, Mr. Ricky this afternoon. There are some people who are secretly stalking us while we eat in the Chinese tavern. As always, I always meet with him in shops, restaurants, so that no one suspects us.”
“However, it looks like we've been caught. There must be a party who told them, because they also want the Buddha Statue.”
Zaid sighed. “This is faster than I thought. Who are they?”
“The rats that followed it don't seem to be random people either. They looked expert while trailing and investigating us quietly. At the moment, our position is not good enough if we keep it.”
“Why do you have to be dizzy? Let's attack them first,” proposed Zaid.
“Attacking? How?”
“They are definitely looking for information on the whereabouts of the two remaining Buddha Statues. On the one hand they must also have known that our side has the first Buddha Statue.”
“I'm sure they're after the Buddha statue we already have. All we have to do is, throw the bait for them to bite him.”
The Emir is seriously listening. Not fully understood Zaid's intentions.
“So, you have to lure them. Either tomorrow or the day after, you should be followed back by them. You should also pretend to call your boss.”
