Between Guns and Roses

Case For Anna

After enjoying a meal together, Anna is seen sitting on the front porch of Rosalinda's house while fiddling with her phone.

Suddenly there was a call coming in from Pedro.

"Hello" said Anna.

"Anna, can you go to my place now? The association gave you a special case" Pedro said from across the phone.

"Now?!?" ask Anna to make sure.

"Yes" answered Pedro briefly.

"Okay," Anna replies and then hangs up her phone.

The woman sighed for a moment, she felt a little disappointed when she heard there was a case for her so she had to leave Antonio. But he has to be professional and put aside the ego.

Then he rushed to Antonio's room to say goodbye.

"Darling, I just got a call from Pedro" Anna said.

"What's that?" ask Antonio.

"There's a new case for me" Anna replied, bowing her face.

"Do it! Finish your case, after that we can meet here" Antonio replied cheeringly.

"Hm ...." Anna just muttered softly as if rejecting Antonio's words.

Then he stood up and packed his things without saying a word. While Antonio was only watching her from above the bed.

"Just calm down, as soon as possible I'll catch up with you. We're going to complete our mission together" Antonio said.

Anna only turned her head for a moment towards Antonio, then carried her bag out of the room. He deliberately ignored the man so that he could not focus on taking the case.

While heading for the living room, Anna runs into Rosalinda who just came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of fried bananas.

"Where are you going?" ask Rosalinda.

"I'll be away for a while to go on a mission" Anna replied.

"Mission?!?" Rosalinda asked to make sure.

"Yes, Pedro's case is just for me" replied Anna briefly.

"Oh, I thought you were going with Antonio too" said Rosalinda as she walked towards the guest chair.

"No, the current mission with him is postponed first. Until there is further news from the association" Anna said.

Hearing such a reply, Rosalinda seemed to nod slowly. Then his gaze turned towards the plate that contained fried bananas.

"Try it! I'm sure you've never tried this before" Rosalinda said as she held out the plate in her hand to Anna.

"What's this?" Anna asked as she scrunched her forehead.

"Fried banana, try it!" answer Rosalinda.

Then Anna took one fried banana covered in wheat flour. He immediately devoured it without realizing that the inside of the fried banana was still hot.

"Aww ..." cried Anna.

"Be careful! The fried banana is still hot," Rosalinda said.

"Huft ...." Anna puffed up the cheek sign of disappointment.

"I just picked it up from the frying pan, don't you feel the heat in your hand?" Rosalinda asked in astonishment.

"No, hmm ..." replied Anna briefly while enjoying the fried banana back in her hand.

"Ckckckck .. I don't dare touch it directly, but you go straight through it" said Rosalinda.

Anna just glanced a moment later smiling.

"I was just surprised, no need to worry" he said.

"I've had worse training than this" he concluded.

"Hmm .. yes I believe," said Rosalinda.

The two of them then sat in the guest chair while enjoying a plate of fried bananas.

"It's really delicious, can you teach me how to make it?" Anna asked enthusiastically.

"Well, next time I'll teach you to make fried bananas and vegetable bakwan," replied Rosalinda.

"Thank you" said Anna with a happy look.

Then he said goodbye to Rosalinda. But as a supply during the trip, Rosalinda gave Anna a fried banana which she wrapped into a plastic bag.

"This is to accompany you on the trip later," said Rosalinda while handing over plastic containing fried bananas.

"Wow .. thank you," Anna replied happily.

***

Rosalinda who saw Anna was gone, just rushed to Antonio's room with a plate of fried bananas.

"Anna's gone" he said slowly.

"Yes, he got a sudden case from Pedro" Antonio said.

Rosalinda then placed a plate of fried bananas on a table near Antonio's bed.

"This is for your snack" said Rosalinda.

"Wow ... fried banana, thank you, Rose," said Antonio enthusiastically.

"You already know that? I think this is the first time" said Rosalinda a little disappointed.

"The pedro often leads me to the roadside stalls, and there is a great variety of fried food," Antonio replied as if knowing with a disappointed Rosalinda feeling.

"Hmm ..." muttered Rosalinda with a long sigh.

After that they both enjoyed the fried banana along with interspersed casual chatter.

Arriving at the Acquolina Cafe, Anna immediately entered and rushed to meet Pedro in his room. He does not need to ask permission or ask Ferguso for help, because he had previously made an appointment with Pedro.

"Hello, Pedro!" greet Anna as she enters Pedro's room.

"Oh, Anna. Come inside!" pedro said he replied to Anna.

Anna then went in and sat down in the chair she used to use when she was in Pedro's room. Pedro opens the drawer and pulls out a yellow map.

"This is your case" he said, handing over the file to Anna.

"Okay," Anna replied briefly.

After receiving the case, he then opened and studied the contents.

"Hmm ..." occasionally he muttered softly as he read the writing on the sheets.

"I guess this is the case of the association, it turns out from your friend huh?" ask Pedro.

"Yes, read all the pages first!" answer Pedro.

Anna only glanced at Pedro for a moment, then refocused on studying the file in her hand.

"Black Shadow?!" sahut Anna scrunched her forehead.

"It's worth asking for your help" he added, staring at Pedro.

"Nicky is my friend and a detective, he's investigating a kidnapping case. And as he searched, it turned out that everything had something to do with Black Shadow. So he asked me for help" Pedro explained.

Anna simply nodded quietly without speaking anything.

"I couldn't have given this case to Antonio, given his current condition. Therefore, you are the only one who is currently ready to run this case," Pedro added.

Anna sighed for a moment, she could not believe that she had to run the case against Black Shadow alone. But he still has to be professional.

"Alright, I accept" said Anna.

Pedro smiled at Anna's response who had agreed and received a case from her.

"Now you meet Nicky at the hospital, while I'll pick up Antonio to take him to the association's clinic" Pedro said.

"Antonio!?" asked Anna astonished.

"Why go to the clinic? Isn't he okay?" he added.

Pedro just shook his head slowly.

"According to the procedures of the association, he just needs to fill in the report that he is not in a condition not ready to carry out the mission" Pedro explained.

"Like that, huh? All right, Antonio's business I leave it to you. I'm going to see Nicky at the hospital right now" Anna said.

Then he rushed out while carrying the file to Antonio's parents' house to prepare to go run the case.
