Wangi and Zahara ran back to the Hospital and headed straight for the ER room. On arrival there was Doctor Gibran who was assisted by Doctor Lukman and two nurses who helped deal with Ali's patients.
"What happened Doc?" Ask Zahara after he gets there.
"The patient suddenly spasms and secretes foam, his stomach also swells. Fortunately the shock had been overcome but it seemed like something was wrong with his stomach. We're gonna do the X-ray right now. Please prepare the tools, sus." Doctor Gibran said and told Sister Myta who at that time was helping him.
"Okay Doc, I'll get you ready soon." Answer sister Myta who then rushed to the X-ray room to notify the staff who were there.
"How can his stomach swell like this? Is it because of the persecution she endured?" Tanya Fragrance.
"It could be, but more certainly after we find out the X-ray results came out." Answer Doctor Gibran.
"We'd better take it to the X-ray room now Doc." Lukman.
"Yes, please take the patient to the X-ray room." Doctor Gibran asked the male nurse who was there.
"I'll help push." Lukman said the nurse was pushing the patient's bed gurney into the X-ray room.
"Hopefully no serious problems happened after this." Fragrant whispers to Zahara after seeing Ali's gurney out of the ER room along with Doctors Gibran and Lukman.
"Yes, hopefully." Sahut Zahara's.
After waiting for approximately thirty minutes, the patient was again taken out of the X-ray and returned to the ER room.
"How did it go?" Zahara asked when she saw Doctor Lukman coming out of the X-ray room after the patient.
"The two of you were told to go in by Doctor Gibran, we'll talk about it inside and soon the other Doctor will come too." Lukman.
"There's something so serious about the patient that we have to have an emergency meeting like this?" Tanya Fragrant was so curious and a little anxious.
"Therefore Doctor Gibran will be clear inside after the others come. Just wait inside." Said Lukman who was reluctant to answer the curiosity of his two colleagues.
Unwilling to argue with Lukman, Wangi and Zahara chose to go into the X-ray room and listen to the explanation from Doctor Gibran. Then it was not long before Elias, Doctor Rio and the Estuary Physician came to join them.
"It looks like everything's coming, I'll just go right ahead." Doctor Gibran said to open the meeting.
"A while ago the patient I was treating had convulsions. For information, this patient was seriously injured after experiencing abuse and in his blood there were narcotic substances. It is certain if this patient is a drug user or the like but fortunately the use is not too large. Then when having a seizure was found there was also a swelling in the left upper abdomen. Initial allegations may be due to the effects of mistreatment that occurred in patients because of the many bruises found all over his body including the stomach. Because we did not want to guess we did X-rays on patients and the results were unexpected. We found a foreign object in his body, I don't know what it is because of its size is quite large. And that is likely what causes the condition of patients who suddenly spasm with the body part of the abdomen that swells. You guys can see this. This is the X-ray." Doctor Gibran explained in detail by showing the X-ray results.
"That's pretty big, what's that about?" Asked Doctor Rio who was observing the X-ray photos that were on his front monitor.
"I guess... The word big is not suitable for use, rather a lot." Elias said with eyes that also stared intently at the monitor X-ray of the patient Ali.
"Much?" Fragrant asked as she squinted her eyes at Elias.
"Please magnify the picture." Pinta Elias and Doctor Gibran magnified the image on the monitor.
"You can see if it doesn't coagulate completely into one, but it's tenuous at a narrow distance so if we don't look at it carefully it looks like one big thing." Elias said as he pointed towards the monitor.
"Yes, yes, too... It is not one but a few but we cannot be sure of the number because it is not so clear. It could be two, three or four. One size of that thing alone we can't be sure." Speak Fragrance which also ensures it.
"Then we're going to have surgery soon, because Rio and I are just general practitioners so we need a surgeon here. Between Doctor Lukman, Doctor Zahara, Doctor Elias and also Doctor Fragrance who is willing to do it?" Ask Dr. Gibran.
"Because who is more senior than me or Doctor Luman, I think Doctor Zahara and Doctor Elias are more worthy to do so." Fragrance Words.
"I agree." Sahut Lukman.
"Both we'll both do it but I have Doctor Fragrance and Doctor Lukman also come as assistants, this can also add to the experience of new surgeons like you and plus two nurses is enough." Elias.
"Good Doc." Fragrance and Lukman answered almost simultaneously.
"Then I will prepare the anesthesia in the operating room I will ask the nurse to prepare the operating room." Said Dr. Muara as anastesia doctor.
"Thank you Doc." Elias. Furthermore, Dr. Muara Langung came out of the X-ray room to prepare for surgery.
"Then we'll look at the patient's condition before we take him to the operating table." Zahara.
"Well, let's end this meeting now." Doctor Gibran said.
And finally they all went to do their own work. After checking the patient's health, a team of doctors led by Zahara entered the operating room.
Meanwhile, at the same time, Galih and Romero were in the Commander's room.
"Why didn't you guys report it from the beginning?" Ask the Commander to Galih and Romero.
"Sorry Commander, at first we hesitated to dismiss it because we felt that if this was open to our authority to interfere with the internal problems of the local people, we could not, but the more we get here the more we suspect something is wrong and we don't have enough evidence to report it either, especially the scorpion tattoo that I saw on the arm of criminals at that time was also seen by Serka Romero on the arm of a police officer. Nor do we know whether the chief officer was also involved or not." Bright Galih.
"According to your story the place is on the outskirts of the city not in the city center. In other words, all that is involved is the police force from the local area. The police may not know. Such gangsters are unlikely to do anything conspicuous in the city center despite their target city people and residents who are in crisis due to war. And one more thing, this...!" The commander placed two maps in front of Galih and Romero on his desk.
"What is Commander?" Ask Romero.
"Look at me." The commander replied, then Galih and Romero took each one for them to see.
Galih and Romero opened the green map and saw the contents. A few seconds later they looked surprised.
"It's..." The words of the Galih were instantly cut by the Commander.
"It was a report at once a request. One from the Lebanese State Police Chief and the other from the US Military. The head of the Lebanese Police gets a report that there are unsettling gangsters in the area that you mentioned but they have a hard time catching them because the gangsters are not ordinary criminals but rather mafia-class with well-trained and well-trained men fully armed. Then the U. S. military asked us to cooperate in arresting a military fugitive if he saw him in the Lebanese region because the person's current information is in South Lebanon." Commander's Remark.
"Joshua Franklin's? He's a member of the US military special forces." Galih.
"You know him?" Ask the Commander who Romero wants to ask.
