"Irene, why?" ask Alan.
Irene was seen limp when she returned from the toilet after receiving the call. Alan suspected that something serious had happened.
"There's nothing, brother. Only a little campus business needs to be taken care of" Irene said.
"Eat first, I'll take you where you're going" Alan asked.
"No need, Brother. My friend will pick me up, he said. I go first, yes, sister," said Irene.
"I can drive you, too" said Alan.
But his words were not heard. Irene had already left from before him. He was suspicious to see Irene.
"Is this really just a college thing?" muttered.
Meanwhile, Irene rushed out of the mall area and intercepted a taxi to drive her. "Sir, please take me to the XXX address" Irene asked.
Arriving at the secret headquarters, there was no one there, neither Ron nor his other men. Indeed, holidays usually they do activities outside.
Irene's headed to the safe. He moved the pile of Dollar money that was there into the suitcase that had been provided.
"Who are they? Why do I know my identity?" Irene Mumbled.
All this time he has been trying to hide his existence but still some people realize it. He could not bear to sacrifice Ron, the man he trusted the most. He was sure his opponent this time was indeed deliberately holding Ron to lure him out.
Irene opened a secret box that she had never opened before. The ranks of weapons from the shortest to the longest were neatly lined up inside the large box.
Irene of course never expected that thing to come out of place. But this time he needed to be careful. He took a gun and slipped it on his right waist.
Drrt .... Drrt ....
Irene's phone rang. He still gets a call from the same guy.
"Hello" said Irene.
"We're still waiting for you. Don't forget to come by yourself. I can't tolerate sniffing even the slightest bit of cheating from you."
Irene smiled a cynical smile. "Are you too afraid to face me?" ledek.
"Haha ... We're just strategizing so things don't get too complicated."
"Just calm down, I'm brave enough to come alone against you guys. I'll also bring the money you asked for. Keep your promise to free my men!"
"Haha ... Take it easy, Miss. We just need money and quiet. Next time, don't interrupt our business. Come quickly!"
The person turned off the phone call again at will. Irene sighed. Definitely the culprit is one of the people or organizations who feel aggrieved due to the activities he did as a hacker.

Drrt ... Drrt ....
The sound of the cell phone stopped Alan's daydream. There's a call coming in from his men. Alan moved out of his place and found a safe place to take the important call.
"Hello?" sapana.
"Sir, I brought a little bad news" said the man across the phone.
No one knew who the leader and members of Black Shadow were. In fact, where the headquarters and center of the organization no one knows for sure other than Alan himself as the leader.
Behind his mediocre appearance, a normal activity like any other businessman, Alan secretly builds an underground organization to find out various secret information owned by the country or even the world.
It competes with many other hidden organizations. When there is a conflict between them, they will wage a cold and silent war that will not be known to the laity, but the impact can be felt by the entire population of the country or even the world.
"Say, Aji, what's that news?" ask Alan.
For a long time the organization was safe and peaceful in running its business. If Aji calls, it means that there is a problem that can affect the organization he has built since three years ago.
Alan never revealed his true identity to anyone, either to his own family or Irene. The work he did with Black Shadow could be said to be illegal and unlawful even forbidden. If his identity is exposed, he fears being shunned or even hostile to his loved ones, especially Irene.
"The Big-O group started making moves, sir," Aji said.
"What are they doing?" Alan hadn't heard the name of the organization in a long time. They have long been hostile and opposed to each other.
"According to the information I got, they managed to kidnap one of the important people from Cookie's hacker team, sir."
Alan was stunned for a moment. Cookie hacker team is one of the security team of several sites owned by his organization. If until Cookie divulges the secrets of his organization, then he will be destroyed.
"Why did they target the hacker? Do they know that Cookie has a cooperative relationship with us?" alan asked for clarity.
"That I can't confirm, sir. I guarantee Cookie doesn't even know who they're working with. However, still if there is information leaked, we will have difficulty dealing with it," said Aji.
Usually Big-O will compete with them directly in black market trades or certain tender scrambles with entrepreneurs who own secret side businesses. His organization wins more than Big-O.
"Maybe they just want to lure Cookie owners to show up" Aji said.
Alan grinned. "I won't let that happen. The hidden must remain hidden" Alan said. "Send me the location now, Aji. Let me handle it myself."
"But, Mr ... What if something happens to you?"
"I'll be very careful. Just keep an eye on me from a distance and if the situation gets any more dangerous, send in reinforcements!" Alan Pinta.
"Good, Sir."
"Send people to take the vehicle to where I am right now!" alan's orders again.
Alan hung up his phone. Not long ago, Aji had sent a meeting position between Big-O members and Cookie.
He hurried to his car parked in the basement parking mall. Alan took a black leather jacket from inside the car and put it on. He looked around. When the situation looks safe and quiet, Alan opens the trunk of his car.
He removed the carpet covering the base of the trunk and opened the secret door. Under the trunk of the car there is a small hidden room.
Alan took out a gun, motorcycle gloves, and a black buff mask from inside. He closed the trunk of his car after picking up the items.
Not long after, two men riding a Yamaha R1 stopped right in front of his car. They got off the bike and approached Alan.
"You take my car home, I mean to my apartment" Alan said.
"Good, Sir."
One of them gave a helmet to Alan. Both of them got into Alan's car. Meanwhile, Alan put a buff mask covering part of the face and then put on his helmet.
