Find Me in 1000 Years

Who's Mira?

The museum's guards met with the Arab royal army. He gasped for them because he ran away. "Sir, sorry. Looks like the gem of Ainum Zah was stolen. The jewel is no longer in its place."

"What?" the Chief of Police, surprised.

"really. I was there checking the jewel, but it wasn't in the box."

Soon the Chief of Police ran to where the jewel was. His men followed the man from behind. He saw for himself when the floodlight illuminated the jewel box and the jewel was no longer in its place. The jewel has disappeared.

The man gawked. He could hardly believe what he saw. Isn't security replaced more sophisticated? The security should work better than the security of his men, but why would it work the other way around?

He approached. The floodlight was turned off and he turned on the room light. Immediately, he scoured the entire room with the help of his men. "What, didn't you hear something or meet someone?" ask the museum keeper.

"someone? I work here alone every day. Just ... There was a noise in the airways, but it just seemed like a rat."

"What's? Air ducts?" The man pulled out his gun and gazed towards the air ducts above them. "That means, the possibility of the thief is still there because we just left this place just a few minutes ago."

"What?" The guard stared at the airways directly above them.

"Where are they now?"

"They?" ask the guard.

"If it were himself, the man would have been a professional."

"Mc ...." The guard was still staring up.

The police chief pointed the barrel of his gun towards the channel and aimed at one end of the air duct in the room. "Which leads out fast?"

"Oh, I don't know that, sir," said the guard.

The police chief was confused as to which one to shoot, but then he appointed two of his men, who were also carrying short-barreled pistols, to shoot each other at both ends of the channel following his instructions. The man then pointed at one end of the channel, then pointed at the next channel making the sound of the gun eruption sound in succession.

Ken and Mira could hear the eruption, even the team members who were outside the building.Irish and Jack looked at each other.

Mira and Ken are near an open vent. The two look at each other. Ken touched Mira's arm. "Mira, come!"

"No, it's the brother who should be out."

"Mira, this is no time for jokes. They're hunting us. Come on!" The young man grabbed the girl's arm but the girl held on.

"Sister, team Brother is waiting outside. If I come, they'll catch me."

"It's okay. Than you're dead shot here. Don't be afraid, I'll protect you from the distractions of the people on my team. I promise I'll take care of you."

The girl looked at Ken. Her eyes looked beautiful as the girl smiled. "Thank you."

Back to the eruption. The soldiers were indeed not playing games and were indeed hunting the jewel thief.

"Not first, I'll be in the back." The girl brushed the young man's hand.

"Oiya, I'll catch you down." Ken crawled towards the airways towards the exit.

Soon enough, the sound of an eruption was heard. The young man looked. He saw that the girl was still not moving from her place. "Mira, come!"

"I'm going to go."

"No! Miras! You can't go there!" shout Ken. His voice echoed so much that the soldiers inside the museum heard it. They began to be able to find the suspected area.

Meanwhile outside, Jack calls Ben who is in the building opposite the museum. "Hello Ben's. Protect Ken, if he can get out safely. You hear?"

Ben, who was on the roof of the building, agreed. "OK." Then he closed his phone and looked at Vicky. "Come on. We're getting ready to run."

"Mmh," the man replied a little annoyed.

Ben started pointing the gun down by leaning against the edge of the roof of the building.

"Ok, Jack." The burly man got out of the car.

Meanwhile in the airways, Mira puts her index finger in front of her mouth. "Shh." He then followed Ken.

The young man crawled back up to the front of the air hole. He looked down and there was Hugo there. "Mira, my friend ...."

Not yet finished he spoke, the girl pushed Ken outwards.

"Ah, Mira, I'll ja— Ah!" The young man had actually fallen because of the girl's impulse.

Fortunately Hugo caught it. The young man was shocked and looked up. The girl's face emerged from the airway hole and smiled as she waved her hand.

"Mira, where are you going?! Don't..don't go in again, it's dangerous!" shout Ken.

The young man was lowered onto the asphalt and dragged Hugo towards the van. He could not escape because the man's hand was so strong.

"Wait, Hugo! My friend's upstairs," asked Ken, but Hugo didn't care.

The man continued to pull the young man no matter what he said.

"Mira!" Ken was still turning his head while Mira sent Kiss bye (kissing the palm and then blowing it) at Ken while waving her hand back. The girl went back into the hole.

"Mira ...." Ken's surprised. Why does the girl look so relaxed? Is he gonna be okay being in there? Is he able to avoid it? The young man's head was filled with questions that he could not answer. While his body was still being pulled towards the team car, he stared towards the building. May you be safe, Mira, Ken's prayer in my heart.

The van door opens at the back. After Ken entered with Hugo, the car moved quickly out of the parking area.

Devan glanced at Ken who was sitting on the floor of the car with Hugo. "Did you get the jewels?"

Ken took the jewel out of one of the pockets on his waist. He handed it to Devan.

Irish saw from the small mirror in front of her that Ken had obtained the gem. It was Irish who was driving the car.

The sound of an eruption is back. The woman glanced towards the side rearview mirror.2 soldiers were chasing their car. The gun was aimed at the car but before it was fired, there was a sound of firing 2 times and the two men collapsed. Irish still had time to watch, before the car turned and tightened the speed of the car on the road.

The police chief and the others arrived late. They did not see the real event so they could only see the two men lying on the asphalt already stretched. He looks so upset.

Ken was taken back to their base, but there he was interrogated.

"Who is Mira?" ask Irish, wondering.

"Oh, he's my friend. He was having business there so we met." The young man lied.

"Friends from where?"

Ken looked at Irish with a frown. "That doesn't matter, does it? The important thing is that I've already got you that jewel. Where's my necklace, here!" He put his hand out.

"We haven't been paid yet."

"No need!" said Ken quickly. "I just want to get out of here."

"You can't get out without Jack's permission."

"Ck!" The young man's face looked annoyed. "I don't want to work for you guys anymore, so ...."

"You're going on your next mission, Ken," cut off Jack who came closer.

"What?"
