Destroys

The appearance of the "Boss"

The man who came to see Gerard in his office room smiled meaningfully looking at Gerard's face trying to cover up his nervousness.

"Didn't you tell me to sit down?" ask the man.

"Oh, I'm sorry, please sit down." Gerard.

The man smiled, then immediately sat on the sofa in the office space, Gerard also sat on the sofa.

Gerard looks nervous when dealing with the man. Because, the man is a confidant as well as the right hand of the person who has been called "Boss".

This man is named Dimas, he is also an advisor to the "Boss ", often Dimas gives advice and advice to the "Boss" before taking a major decision in their organization.

"You must have known why I came here." Dimas said, smilingly looking at the face of Gerard sitting in front of him.

"Sorry, I don't know yet." Answer Gerard.

"Don't pretend and try to cover it up." Said Dimas, cynical.

"meaning?" Ask Gerard.

Gerard stared at the face of Dimas who smiled cynically looking at him, Gerard still guessed what Dimas would discuss later.

"It's about Ishadi's death, why in the last few days you didn't report to "Boss" if Ishadi was killed." Dimas.

Gerard was silent to Dimas' words, knowing that Dimas had come to discuss the death of Ishadi.

"Ah, about that, look, let me explain." Gerard.

"No.no...Don't tell me." Dimas said, preventing Gerard from explaining the matter of Ishadi's death.

"You were asked to come to the "Boss", He wanted to hear directly from you, do you know about Ishadi's death, and why he was killed." Dimas.

"Oh, yeah. Alright. I'll come see him." Said Gerard, nodding understanding and understanding to Dimas.

"You know, the Boss is furious to hear of Ishadi's death, because, all this time, Ishadi who runs a drug business and online gambling, his death will hamper the Boss' business. So, there has to be a solution." Dimas said, Explaining.

"Yes, I get it. I'm also trying to find the culprit." Gerard.

"Don't just try, but, you have to be caught, and get rid of the culprit immediately." Dimas.

"Yes." Yeah." Anguk Gerard.

"alright. Just for now, I'm coming home, lest you don't come to see the Boss." Dimas said, warning Gerard.

"Yes. I'll come as soon as possible." Gerard.

Dimas then got up and stood up from his seat on the sofa, Gerard also stood up.

"No need to take it." Dimas.

Gerard nodded respectfully, assuring him, then, He stood still and let Dimas walk himself out from inside his office space.

Gerard let out a heavy sigh, He walked back to his desk, threw his body on the chair.

His face looked tense, He knew, if Boss called out to him, then, He would get a reprimand for sure. In addition, Gerard still thought about the whereabouts of Karina who disappeared without news.

The next day, without lingering and delaying time, Gerard finally came and met the person who was always called "Boss".

Seen in a spacious room, Gerard stood facing in front of the work desk, while, in a work chair, seen the figure of a fat old man sitting on a chair with a position that turned to Gerard.

Only his back was visible, as he sat back, Gerard could not see the face of the man called "Si Boss " .

His figure is still mysterious, not yet known the face and name of the real Him.

Only Gerard and close people and confidants can see the face of "Si Boss" and know his name.

"Do you know your mistake?" Asked the Boss with his heavy and authoritative voice.

"Yes, Boss. Because I've kept Ishadi's death a secret, and it's not quick to report it to Boss." Gerard answered the Boss' question.

"Why are you silent and not telling?" Ask the Boss.

"Because I'm still confused, I don't know the culprit yet, and what the killer's motive was to kill Ishadi's life." Gerard.

"Can't you just jump to the conclusion that Ishadi died because it had something to do with our business?!" Said the Boss.

"I thought so Boss. But, I doubt, if Ishadi's death was due to our business problems. I think there's another problem." Gerard.

"I thought, the motive for Ishadi's murder was revenge, not business." Gerard, explaining.

Hearing Gerard's words, the Boss quickly turned his body and immediately stared intently at Gerard's face. Gerard finally faced and could see the face of the Boss.

"Whatchu mean? What revenge? Does Ishadi have enemies?" Asked the Boss, looking intently at Gerard's face standing before him, right in front of the large work desk.

"Yes, Boss. That's my thinking right now." Gerard.

"Try to explain, why do you say, that Ishadi died because there was a grudge against him. Because as far as I am, Ishadi has no enemies, if anything, I would know better than you, and the enemy, would have been eliminated first." Said The Boss.

"Ishadi has no enemies, Boss. But, his death had something to do with Edward's case, a few years ago." Gerard.

"Edward?!!" The Boss was shocked to hear Gerard mention Edward by name.

"It's been a long time that I haven't heard his name, more than a dozen years." Said The Boss.

"Why can you say that Ishadi's death has something to do with Edward's case?" asked the Boss, staring at Gerard's face.

"Because before, some of my men, my confidants were also killed, in fact, there was a body that was deliberately disposed of and placed in the car garage in my house." Gerard.

"What ?!!" The Boss, gasped in shock and immediately stood pounding the table.

"Why don't you tell me that your men were killed? What do you mean shut up and not tell me? Don't you want to help our organization?!" Said Boss snapping furiously.

"Sorry, Boss. I just don't want to involve our organization. I just want to finish it myself." Gerard.

"Can you finish it yourself? " Said The Boss.

"I'm trying to get Boss, I'm looking for the culprit again, and I'm sure it's the same thing." Gerard.

"Are you sure, this is pure revenge?" asked the Boss, looking seriously at Gerard's face.

"Yes, I'm sure, Boss. And I have one name to suspect and investigate as the culprit." Gerard.

"Oh, huh? Who's the guy?" Said the Boss, curious.

"Astrid, Boss. Edward's son." Gerard.

"Astrid ?!!" The Boss seemed shocked to hear Astrid's name called Gerard.

"Where can you prove your belief that Astrid, Edward's son, did it ?!" Asked the Boss, with a sharp look and a serious face looking at Gerard.

"Because, He wrote a message that was deliberately directed at me. At the heart of his message, He came to take revenge for the crimes of Me and our plot against His Father a few years ago, and He also said, that the next one, He will demand revenge on me and my family." Gerard explained to the Boss.

After hearing Gerard's explanation, The Boss instantly fell silent, He seemed to be thinking about something. Then, look at Gerard's face .

"Are you sure it was Astrid? Hasn't Astrid been in a women's prison all this time?!" Said The Boss.

"He's been released Boss. We checked into the detention house where Astrid was in prison. According to the Prisoner's officer, Astrid has been released, due to a reduced sentence." Gerard.

The Boss was silent, He did not expect, if it turned out that Astrid, her son Edward had been released from prison, He did not know the news at all, He only knew from Gerard's explanation at this time.

"If it is true that Astrid, her son Edward killed Ishadi, then, it is certain, He will also come and target our members who are also involved in the case of his father first." Said The Boss.

"Yes, that must be Boss." Answer Gerard.

"alright. Can you catch him? If you can, I'll give you full authority to pursue and finish Astrid." Said the Boss.

"I can afford Boss." Reply Gerard steady.

"alright. Find Him, and lest He kill our other members, and prevent Astrid, lest He expose all evil and destroy all our business." Said The Boss.

"If Astrid is let loose, demanding revenge, it will harm us. You will also be destroyed, therefore, I give you a task, find and finish Astrid, before He can destroy our organization!" Boss said affirming and giving orders to Gerard.

"Good, Boss. I'll work as soon as possible." Gerard.

"Yes, I entrust this task to you." Said the Boss.

Gerard nodded, saluting, the Boss looked furious and held back his anger, after He found out that Astrid was the culprit, He was angry that Astrid killed Ishadi.

Although it was only Gerard's conjecture that Astrid killed Ishadi, and only as an accusation there is no evidence, but, He believes, and remains careful.

Because, in his mind, there is a truth to everything that Gerard said, it could have happened, and Astrid, his son Edward really wanted to take revenge for their actions on his Father first.

Because, the murder happened, right after Astrid was released from the women's prison, and before, the atmosphere was calm, none of their members were killed.
