Canticles

3. What Tuh ?

Gama who was standing next to Rex was visibly riled up when he saw an object hidden behind the ground that was eroded by Rex earlier.

" What is Rex...?" ask Gama.

" No know. Try I see," Rex said as he touched the end of the object made of metal with the iron ruler he held.

Rex had a little trouble because it was embedded in the ground. Seeing its position can be ascertained if the object has been there long enough.

Seeing Rex's difficulties, Gama also intervened to help. He scratched the ground with his ten fingers.

" Pake dong Gam tool. So dirty. Of course it must have been a long time ago if only using fingers..," said Rex annoyed.

Gama looks grimaced and then circulates the view to find objects that can be used to dig the ground. Gama smiled when he saw a wood lying not far from him. Gama quickly grabbed the wood and used it to dig the ground.

" Don't this be Rex's treasure.", Gama said as he continued digging.

" Ck, don't embarrass Lo. Just dig in first to know what this thing is..," said Rex while clucking.

A few moments later it became more visible. Rex and Gama stared at each other for a moment then together extended both hands in order to pull the object up. But a loud voice stopped Rex and Gama's movements.

" Why are you there...?!" ask a man.

Rex and Gama turned to look at the big man standing around his waist on the edge of the ball field. The eyes of the man looked sharp and unfriendly. Realizing that their actions were discovered, Rex and Gama abandoned their intention to remove the metal they had found earlier.

" Gawat nih Rex. We just ran away" Gama said in a panic.

" Why run away, we're not doing anything..," said Rex casually.

" Lo meant nothing about what the hell is Rex. I knew we were caught, even relaxed. Buruan. Count to three yes..," said Gama annoyed Rex.

" Yes..., three...!" rex said loudly then ran away leaving Gama alone in the middle of the ball field.

" Slack, brash. Why exactly three anyway, watch out Lo T-reexxx...!" maki Gama then goes after Rex.

Rex laughs at Gama who is struggling to catch up with him. But unfortunately the second step stopped because it was blocked by two other men. Rex and Gama immediately ran in two different directions to outwit the two big men who confronted them. But because the field was surrounded by a two-meter-high brick fence, Rex and Gama seemed to have difficulty finding a way out.

Meanwhile the first man to observe Rex and Gama was seen starting to step into the middle of the ball field. He snorted annoyedly at the hole there. He intended to cover the 'hard work' of Rex and Gama with the ground. But before his intention was carried out, the sound of police car siren roars was heard entering the ball field followed by the exit of some Police from the car.

The three big-bodied men looked surprised while Rex and Gama seemed to sigh in relief. The two men who had confronted Rex and Gama were easily arrested by the police, while another tried to escape.

" Don't move and raise your hand...!" one of the policemen said while pointing a gun at the man in the middle of the ball field.

The man in the middle of the field did not appear to be grinding and ran towards Rex. With his arms outstretched he grabs Rex's body and intends to take Rex hostage as he realizes he cannot escape.

Gama and some of the police are visibly upset to find Rex in danger.

" T-reexxx behind Looo...!" gama shouted loudly to remind Rex.

But apparently the man chose the wrong target. Because Rex bravely greeted the man with a twisting kick until the man lurched to the ground while holding his stomach.

" Yeaayy... !. Good Job T - rex. You are meen I...!" praise Gama while jumping when he sees Rex manage to cripple the man.

Rex smiled and pulled over as two policemen approached. One of the two policemen rubbed Rex's head in a frenzy while laughing.

" Smart kid. If you were a little late, your bones would have been broken in the same thugs.", said the police.

Gama approaches Rex and embraces her tightly.

" I forgot you could taekwondo Rex. You did that We ran away, yes," said Gama while punching Rex's arm with anxiety.

" Gapap. Excitement also ran away earlier..," said Rex.

" Cappy monyong...!" gama said annoyed.

" It's also in the movies like Gam. Mah whiz usually loses first at the beginning, even many who look like cupu. But the ending was a winner," Rex said casually to make Gama laugh.

Then the two saw the police go to the excavation hole they made earlier. Rex and Gama also saw police installing police lines around the ball court.

" What the hell is Rex. How, use the Police line everything...?" ask Gama.

" Maybe the thing we found was Gam's important stuff. So the police immediately masang Police line so that the place is not damaged by residents..," said Rex while glancing at the residents who began to crowd the ball field.

Suddenly a policeman calls Rex and Gama to get closer to the middle of the field.

" You guys dug this hole...?" ask one of the police.

" Yes sir..," said Rex and Gama together.

" Why ? Are you guys suspecting something or just a fad...?" ask police.

Rex and Gama stared at each other for a moment then nodded.

Then Rex and Gama told rumors circulating about the voice of a singer without a form that later often unsettled residents. At first they did not care, but as more and more citizens were disturbed by the sound, the two also intended to investigate and finally they knew the sound was coming from the middle of the ball field.

" That night must have sounded serem sir. But since it's daytime, we're not afraid. We came here right away convinced that the sound was coming from the middle of the field" said Gama.

" The voice also stopped fitting We are here Sir..," Rex added.

" That's yes. You have been instrumental in helping the Police unravel the mystery of the voice without a form that unsettles residents. Now you're wondering what the contents of this metal box are...?" ask the police who managed to remove the metal object from the excavation hole.

" Yes Sir. Do we know what it is...?" ask Rex enthusiastically.

The policemen smiled and opened the metal box slowly. Inside the metal box is a loudspeaker designed in such a way that the sound can be set at any time as the designer wishes.

" This is it sir...?" ask Rex and Gama doesn't believe it.

" Yes..," said the policeman.

" What is it that ginian-rich objects are planted here, sir...?" rex didn't understand.

" To terrorize and frighten the citizens so that they no longer come to this field. It turns out that this field will be used as a paid playground involving businessmen and local people.

" It means what sir, I'm not going to go home" said Gama while scratching his head.

" Gapapa if you don't understand. But thank you for the help. Now you go home before your parents know your mischief" said the police, smiling meaningfully.

Rex and Gama flinched and hurried to leave the police crowd for fear of being punished by their parents.
