Trapped in Ramadhan
Part 31 - Arrest
...Arrests...
18 Ramadan. Nightly.
Waiting can be annoying. We must be silent and expect others to do what we want. That's what's happening now. As a Jin who is trapped among humans. Waiting is not the most frustrating thing for me. But for Rian and the others? After waiting more than an hour? Well, they're starting to look bored and upset.
Rian and the others returned to the Brothers Motorcycle after Isya's prayer and waited. But the man who will take this motorbike has not come until the end of the Tarawih Prayer Time. Just an hour before midnight, two men - one tall and the other big - came riding a revamped motorcycle for wild racing.
As soon as the two men got off the bike, they were immediately ambushed by Rian, Wawan, Pion, and Banda. And they both managed to be bent without any significant difficulty.
"Aws... Aw... Aw..." The male of Jangkung whose hands were bent back by Rian and Wawan complained in a shrill voice.
Holding one side of the tall man's wrist and pressing his face against the motorcycle seat, Wawan said confusedly, "So you said his voice was hoarse!"
"Yesterday night was a hoarse voice!" Rian defended himself.
"Yesterday night I had a sore throat! Aw... Aw..." Pekik Tall men.
"Are you cops?" Asked the big man whose arms were both held by Pion and Banda. "We were just asked to drop off and get the bike. We don't know anything! It's not our fault! Don't arrest me again!" The mess with panic.
"Yes! We are paid people! Aw... Aw..." Timpal Tall men.
“So that motor is not yours?” Ask Wawan.
“Not!” Answer them both in unison.
"So didn't you guys ride that bike in the accident last night?" Ask Wawan again.
"No!"
I can assure you that these two men are not lying. What they say is true. And to tell that to Rian, I tapped his shoulder twice. He was surprised for a moment, but he understood what I meant.
"Then you take us to the owner's place!" Rian's orders.
"Whatever you're not going to the police station!"
"Yes. Agree! Aw... Aw..."
Using two motorcycles, Rian and Wawan flank the large-bodied Youth, while Pion and Banda flank the tall Youth who directed them to the Central District. Before leaving the Motorcycle Brothers, the Jungle Youth first called the owner of the motorbike in the workshop to tell him he had gotten the bike - it was a lie - and was ready to deliver it to the promised place. The meeting place is a small shop that has closed in front of an alley in a densely populated residential area.
Wawan and others stopped the bike at a considerable distance to prevent their targets from realizing their arrival. Pion and Banda stayed to guard the motor while keeping the tall Youth and the big Youth from escaping.
“If you guys are lying, we take it to the police station!” Threat Wawan.
“Do not police station!” big Youth Whine.
Wawan and Rian then approached the target location on foot to finally catch them. I'm ready to help too if I have to. But this time I will hand it over to Wawan and Rian if indeed they can handle it and do not need help from Jin like me.
As he stepped closer to the meeting point, there was only one human standing waiting in front of the tavern. A man who seems to be calling. Wawan and Rian stopped to observe the man who suddenly became upset.
"That's the place, right?" Ask Rian.
"Suit with what the two said." Wawan.
Rian watched his target closely. "Maybe this isn't a diversion anymore?"
"We will know." Wawan said as he approached. Followed Rian behind him. And me too.
Standing in a place without bright lights at night makes the human face invisible from far away. But as it got closer, the face looked very familiar. The man realized the arrival of Wawan and Rian. He put the phone in his trouser pocket, turned around, and walked into the alley. But just three steps away, he stopped and squatted down to pick up something on the ground. Then with a quick movement he got up and turned around while swinging the sharp object he had just taken. It was the same cleaver used to injure Dwi.
Indeed, this tall man is one of the perpetrators who last night visited the house of Aidah in Housing Two Lights. And now I remember his face too. He's the same guy I saw in the memory chips during the attack on the White Mafia headquarters. One of the doorkeepers in the main room who dueled Wawan using his machete. Her past as a member of the White Mafia matches the motive of the attacker who wants revenge with Husband Aidah who is the White Mafia Commander.
"So you're the one!" Said Wawan who seemed to also remember the gunman in front of him. "Now it makes sense."
"I don't have any business with little brats like you!" Snapped the tall man in his hoarse voice while still holding his sharp weapon.
"Ooh... But you hurt my friend last night!" Reply Wawan without trepidation.
Rian also put up the horses ready to fight without the slightest fear in him.
Jangkung men took turns staring at Wawan and Rian who began to move apart to his left-right. Then suddenly He slashed horizontally towards Wawan, but then with a quick movement He turned and jumped while vertically slashing his machete to Rian. The attack was successfully avoided by Rian who reacted quickly by dodging to the side. But it was used by Male Jungle as his opportunity to run into the alley.
Wawan and Rian rushed after entering the dark alley. I followed from behind. If I'm really serious, I can get ahead of that guy and intercept him. But I intend to help when it is really needed. Jangkung man ran quickly in front, he turned cut through the backyard of the residents' house. Then turn again on the narrower path beside the two-meter-high wall. Wawan and Rian still chased after him even though he was a bit behind.
I decided to chase after the Jungle Man and run next to him, I was actually wondering where he was going. This man seems to have memorized the path he chose. Once at the end of the wall and out onto the wider open road, the Hull Man was fixated in surprise after looking to his left. There were some humans wearing bulletproof vests complete with firearms and some plain-clothed humans gathered while chatting. Then one voice sounded..
"That's the guy!"
The armed men and the surrounding people immediately turned towards the male, who suddenly grabbed the nearest Female and put his cleaver on the Woman's neck from behind the Woman. There was an armed Man who responded by aiming his weapon at the Male Kangkung, who reacted by getting his machete closer to the neck of the poor woman who was screaming in fear.
I was just about to act to stop the Jangkung Men. But then something I didn't expect happened. Descending rapidly from above the sky, a bright red figure landed right in front of the Male Cockroach without a single human being being aware of its existence. The figure grabbed the wrist of the tall male holding the machete, pulling it until the machete moved away from the neck of the female hostage, who was holding it, and squeezed the hand until the Man of the Jungle groaned in pain and released the cleaver from his hand.
The armed man and the citizens who saw it were all stunned and confused by what they had just witnessed. They just stood in place with their eyes wide open and their mouths open. I even stayed at my place. But there were two humans who reacted quickly in the midst of this strange situation. The two men came from behind the male and struck him, separating from the female, dropping him to the ground, and then locking his movements. The two humans are the reason why Male Jangkung to run to this place, Wawan and Rian.
Rian probably thought I was the one who made the Jungle Man shout to drop his machete because he had once communicated and realized I was around him. But Wawan who seems to have no idea of what happened, can react as quickly as Rian, must be fully appreciated for his actions. They both have to be fully appreciated, Wawan and Rian because they have paralyzed Male Jangkung who intend to slit Women earlier.
And the figure who has the role to make it possible is the one I'm looking for... The other Jin who was now standing before me, the Bright Jin with a dazzling golden glow, the Female Jin who had all this time been called a human being as an Invisible Hero.
