127. Mission Ended

One member of the approaching Rex force also helped Rex stand up while asking the condition of the captain.

" Are you okay, Captain...?" ask one of the soldiers.

" I'm fine, thank you..," Rex said with a smile.

" Prepared, you're both Captain...!" sahut the army.

" Are you okay Ms. Elvira...?" rex asked as he watched Elvira from head to toe.

" Thank God I'm fine Captain..," said Elvira quickly.

" Thank God, that's good. Now we go ahead, arrest them and hand them over to the police for trial...!" rex said loudly.

" Prepared Captain...!" sahut Rex's.

" Are you able to show their hideout Bu Elvira...?" rex asked while looking at Elvira.

" Can Captain..," said Elvira while nodding.

" Ok, we're moving now. Stay close to Me so I can easily take care of you Miss Elvira..," said Elvira-natured Rex.

Then Rex, his army and Elvira rush to the house where Elvira was taken hostage. While heading to the place they cross paths with some police who were brought in to help Rex and his troops. Apparently Rex also contacted the police before picking up Elvira.

When they arrived at the house, Obie and his friends were no longer there. They fled because they realized that their actions were known to the police. In addition, Obie cs also did not expect that the woman they were holding hostage had extraordinary courage to fight them.

" So how's the case going, sir...?" ask Rex.

" Their names are already We cantongi Sir. We promise to arrest them and put them in jail" said the police chief, patting Rex on the shoulder.

" There's one more name, sir." said Rex.

" Oh yeah, who...?" ask the police chief.

" Meeva. The woman originally came as a citizen receiving help. After a few days in the queue of the beneficiaries, he came to volunteer to help us in the camp. And when Bu Elvira's kidnapping happened, she suddenly disappeared somewhere. I suspect Meeva had a hand in the kidnapping case..," Rex said.

" That's it, thank you for the info sir." said the police chief.

" All together. I hope the case is taken seriously and the criminals can be arrested for trial" Rex said.

" Ready Sir. Obie cs is indeed a criminal who long troubled the citizens. And this time they've been so outrageous that we don't hesitate to arrest them anymore" said the policeman, smiling wryly.

Hearing the police chief's words made Rex smile. Then Rex brought his troops as well as Elvira back to the camp.

When they arrived at the camp, all the volunteers greeted their arrival with enthusiasm. Even doctor Lita who was initially seen crying in the arms of Farhan doctor rushed to parse the embrace and turned to hug Elvira.

" Are you all right, El..?" ask doctor Lita.

" Thank God I'm fine, doc..," said Elvira quickly.

" What's all right. Look at these bruised and scratched wounds" Lita said, pointing to multiple bruises and scratches on both Elvira's hands and feet.

" Gapapa doc, it's just a light wound." said Elvira with a smile.

" Light how the hell. Keep the incision wound on your neck what is this ?. Oh God, I can't imagine what they did to you. You must be panicking and freaking out, El." said Lita, bringing Elvira in for treatment.

Everyone looked at the departure of Doctor Lita with Elvira with a smile. They were happy to see Elvira doing well despite the many bruises and scratches on her hands and feet.

" So where did you find Miss Elvira Captain...?" ask Dr. Farhan.

" After around the market. When We went there We saw that Bu Elvira was being chased by the criminals. But Ms. Elvira's ability to take care of herself is enough to ease our work." Rex said casually.

" What do you mean, Captain...?" ask Dr. Farhan.

" Thank God, I'm glad to hear it. " said doctor Farhan, sighing in relief.

" But when I came home I saw something unusual here just now," Rex quipped to make Farhan's doctor wrong.

" Unusual, what does Captain mean...?" ask Farhan's doctor, pretending he doesn't know.

" I saw two doctors hugging each other in the presence of many people.", Rex said while sneering.

" Oh that. I'll hug my own fiancee. Then where's the problem, Captain...?" ask Dr. Farhan while smiling.

" Fiancee, since when ?. How come I never knew this...?" ask Rex in disbelief.

Doctor Farhan laughed at Rex's words. Then he said something that surprised Rex.

" Me and Lita were engaged before we left here, Captain. All this time we tried to be professional by not showing off our relationship. But Miss Elvira made it all go away. I can't help but squirm Lita was crying because I was worried that Miss Elvira was injured during the kidnapping. That's why I tried to comfort him. But we just hugged the Captain, nothing more. All that is here witness..," said Farhan doctor as he passed.

Rex was silent to see Farhan's doctor who was misbehaving his question earlier. In his heart Rex admired the doctor's partner.

" It turns out that they prefer to fill their fiancee's time by devoting themselves to helping others rather than being busy suspecting each other like other couples." Rex murmured with a smile.

Since the Elvira abduction case the security of the camp has been tightened. Even though the citizens could still enter and exit freely, the soldiers raised their vigilance secretly. Elvira was more careful in talking with the people. Whereas before Elvira was quite open with residents who visited the camp.

Elvira and Captain Rex look a little different. The two looked awkward when they met. But they managed to master themselves by being professional while working.

Until the time comes at the end of the task. All volunteers must pack to return to Indonesia.

" After this who will occupy this camp Captain...?" elvira asked while helping Rex fold the tent.

" There will be volunteers from Japan who come but I'm not sure they will fill this place Ms. Guru.

" Why Captain...?" elvira asked not to understand.

" The accuracy of the condition of residents here is much better and does not need help from foreigners. That is because in addition to helping them in terms of food, we also give counseling so that they can land on the land they have. We even provide seedlings and fertilizers as initial capital. It should be able to get them up and stop depending on the other party" Rex said.

" So we're the only volunteers who come directly to bring change in their lives. Isn't that so, Captain...?" ask Farhan's doctor from behind Elvira.

" Just right doc...!" sahut Rex fast.

" It feels good to be able to go back to Indonesia without burden. Moreover, the residents already look healthy and ready to rise..," interrupted Lita doctor.

" Oh, I guess you're happy that you're soon to be married to doctor Farhan dok..," said Elvira to make doctor Lita and doctor Farhan smile.

" We're getting married soon. And you all have to come at our wedding reception" said Farhan, clutching Lita's shoulder.

" Ready to dock. But there's plenty of food, Doc. We're not responsible if your food runs out later...!" joke a soldier with a funny mimic to make everyone laugh.

That night the group of humanitarian volunteers had arrived at Soekarno-Hatta airport. They were welcomed by the ABRI Commander and some of his troops.

After the formal welcoming ceremony was completed, the volunteers also approached their families who came to pick up.

From where it stands Rex can see the enthusiastic volunteers and their families when they meet. Cries and laughter filled the waiting room. However Rex frowned when he saw Elvira walking alone towards the exit.

Rex took a quick step and managed to equalize his steps with Elvira who seemed unaware of the presence of the captain.

But just as Rex wanted to greet Elvira, a strange hum was heard in the distance. Rex turned his head quickly with a tense face knowing something bad was going to happen around them.
