Alma's Journey Looking for a Mother

Mak Bolt 18: Trace Track

*Pirate Burner (Bolt Shell)*

 

Some of the members of the Demon Waves Pirates gathered in front of the house that night. While their chairman was standing around with his waist bare. His body looked sweaty, even though the air that night was quite cold.

“It looks like the Chairman is not satisfied with the woman!” whispered the Island Frog to Luli, before Ronggo Trench spoke.

“I don't think so. How can such a beautiful and quiet girl not satisfy the Chairman?” luli. “There must be something else that made the Chairman angry. If the Chairman is not satisfied, the woman must have been thrown out since earlier.”

“You all!” shouted Ronggo Trench finally. His gaze sharply suppressed the guts of every one of his men. “Do dare! Who was eavesdropping when I was sailing with Sumi?”

The question did not get an answer immediately. All the members of the Demon Waves Pirates fell silent and looked at each other, as if looking for someone who would answer the angry pitched question of their chief.

However, until a few breaths, no one answered.

“I heard a voice while I was riding. Answer it! Who's eavesdropping?!” yell Ronggo Trough again.

But again, no one spoke. Whether they are afraid to speak out or indeed no one does the act that Ronggo Palung meant.

“If you guys confess, the punishment is only one blow of the Rock Wave. However, if you guys no one confesses, then I know later on, then dying is the punishment!” exclaim Ronggo Trough again.

“Chairman!” sahut Si Keong Samudera while raising his hand.

“Speak!” order Ronggo Trough.

“Since we observed from afar, no one from us came closer to this house,”, said Si Keong Samudera.

“Good, so no one confessed. I let go of the culprit this time, but remember my threat!” ronggo Palung.

With a vengeance, Ronggo Trench then turned around and went into the house. He headed to the room, where Sumi was still.

However, when it approached the room, Ronggo Trench suddenly stopped. His gaze looked down at the short wooden table on the side of the room wall.

“Bottom space,” call Ronggo Trench clean when looking at the basement door open.

Apparently Kembang Bulan and Emban did not close the door of the basement when they left.

“Rumpet Sea!” shouted Ronggo Trench loudly.

A thin-bodied young man in white clothes, armed with a chain of barbed iron balls, ran in. He can be regarded as the right hand of Ronggo Palung.

“See it!” point Ronggo Trench with his view.

“Keong Ocean, Frog Island, Scutum Hedgehog!” shouted the young man named Seaweed loudly.

In a short time, three men immediately came in with a small run. They were the Ocean Conch, Island Frog, and a burly short man but not a midget named Landak Becek. The short one had a hair model like hedgehog fur that was tense.

“Landak Becky, your body is smaller!” seaweed Command.

Sess! Slass up!

Without saying or refuting, Hedgehog Beckek suddenly released a white beam into the hole, then exploded, until a dazzling light shot out from the bottom room upwards.

After a blinding burst of light in the basement, the Random Beckek immediately went down.

“Here there is no one, Chairman!” yells Hedgehogs Brock. Then shout again, “But there are leftovers that have not gone stale!”

Without waiting for long, Ronggo Trench immediately walked quickly outside the house. The men immediately followed behind. The Ocean Conch and the Island Frog did not forget to take the torch because it seemed like their chairman was heading to the prison.

Not long after, Ronggo Palung and his men arrived at an iron-tested stone building. In the building there are four separate cells and guarded by four Ronggo Trench men.

Conditions in the cell are very dark due to the position of the torch far away. However, with the arrival of the Ronggo Trench troupe, the cell room got a little lighting.

The prisoners were shackled by iron handcuffs and chains.

“Open!” order Ronggo Trough.

The prison guards immediately opened the iron bars holding Duke Adya Bangira, as Ronggo Palung stood in front of the Duke's cell.

After the iron bars door was opened, Ronggo Trench immediately stepped in.

Plaque!

One slap struck the face of Duke Adya Bangira.

“Ak! Brother!” aning Sulasih's screams saw her husband being slapped hard.

“You tried to play games with me, Duke!” tukas Ronggo Trough. “I've done good by not directly killing you and your wife.”

“What do you mean, Ronggo?” asked Duke Adya Bangira whose face was flushed by the slap earlier. There was a line of blood on his lips that flowed down to his chin. Both of his hands were firmly shackled in chains that fused on the stone wall.

“Who are you hiding in the basement?” ask Ronggo Palung.

Adya Bangira was clearly shocked, but she did not answer immediately.

“You challenged my patience, Duke!” hiss Ronggo Trough.

“Emban, my housekeeper,” Aning Sulasih replied quickly.

“Only a helper?” ronggo Trough asked slowly, but with a suspicious look.

“I-iya,” Aning Sulasih replied stammered.

“At this age of yours, there is no way you guys don't have children. I suspect, the person you are hiding in the basement is your son,” said Ronggo Palung.

“We have two sons, both of whom are currently serving in Singayam Kingdom,” replied Adya Bangira.

Ronggo Palung then touched the Duke's face with his right hand. He then patted the prisoner's face gently.

Next, Ronggo Palung released Adya Bangira and turned out.

“I don't care who the person hiding inside that basement is. You guys check the tracks around the house and chase the guy tonight. Kill him!” ronggo Palung's orders to his men.

So, all Ronggo Palung's men who were free of duty, immediately did a search. A number of people who are experts in the search for traces do checks from inside the house to around the house.

“She passed the back door,” said Hedgehog Beckek after finding the back door unlocked.

If the person they were looking for came through the front door, it would be seen by the pirates. If the back pass, it will not be seen, besides there is no lighting, in the back is a garden and shrubs.

“There are traces of people passing through this bush,” said Landak Beckek again after finding there is a bush track that is like it has been trampled, but it is not a road.

“Quick chase that way!” shouted the Seaweed after coming to see the trail created by the lighting of the torch.

“Woi woi!” shouted the pirate members with sangar and crowded.

Almost everyone who carried out the search and chase carried a torch. As devoted warriors, they could move quickly. (BH)
