JiHan (Promise and Betrayal)

Auctions

All preparations are complete. Alice also made sure all the CPR teams were ready in their respective positions.

"You know you have to be careful, right? Remember to prioritize your safety. Let everything else we've handled." Juna said again reminiscent of Alice and Maya.

"We understand." Alice and Maya at the same time.

Alice and Maya are ready with their all-black outfits. Alice chose to use jeans and a tank top with a black V neck and in combination with a matching colored blazer. While Maya prefers to use long-sleeved shirts and black hot pants.

Not to forget the girl wore earrings which were earpices to connect with Juna and Galih. And the camera in the necklace with GPS.

"alright.. You can leave now. I'll monitor you guys from afar." Juna said when making sure everything is installed and recorded properly.

Alice and Maya go to the auction meeting room. They entered the room easily just by showing the card a man had given him before.

A woman wearing a red suit with different cards was also there.

"Please follow me." Said the man and took Maya and Alice as well as a woman to a place that looked like a meeting room with a stage in front of them.

The atmosphere in the room seemed crowded with several people already sitting on almost fully filled chairs and their chairs facing towards the stage.

"Miss.. Please sit in one of the chairs that have been provided there. You both follow me." Said the officer and was about to leave the room. And ask Alice and Maya to follow him.

"Wait.. Why were the two women taken to another place while I was here?" Ask the woman refused to be placed in that place while Alice and Maya will either be placed where.

"Sorry Madam.. This is your seat, you can only attend the auction event on this floor. If you don't like it or make a fuss, you'll be helped by our staff to the exit." The officer said coldly.

"Ah.. Uhm.. Yes that's it.." Said the woman annoyed and sat back in her chair.

"Sorry for the commotion. Please both of you follow me." Said the officer and then led the way up the stairs to a dim hallway.

"May I know why we're put differently?" Ask Alice.

"As per the pass card that Miss brought, it indicates you can enter the special auction room." Said the man.

"Please Madam.. It's wearing this." The man gave the two masks to Alice and Maya.

The room was different from the previous room. The room was dim and only had two chairs and a small table. This room is in a partition with red curtains facing towards the stage which is below there that looks bright and luxurious. It was like being in a room for an opera.

"What's this for?" Maya asked confused at the mask she gave.

"The auction here is confidential. For ownership will also be kept secret because for the security of the goods and the owner." Obviously the man.

"And this Auction Participant Number (NPL), and Bid (Bidding) For the offer." The man handed a number and Bid's writing to a circle with a stick underneath for a handrail placed on the small table.

"Okey." Alice and Maya put on their masks and sat down on the chair.

"If so, excuse me first." Say the man and leave Maya and Alice in the room.

"Looks not. It's our luck because that man has handed over a valuable access card." Alice said.

"Ahh. It looks like the show will start." Alice said as she saw a well-dressed man standing on stage with a microphone in his hand.

"Okay, our distinguished audience and guests will begin this fantastic auction. This is a masterpiece of the head sculpture of Pharaoh...." Said the man starting his first auction item.

"Isn't that illegal? Isn't country M not going to sell that." Maya asked slightly in shock with the auction's first item.

"They can't sell fake goods. It must be an original item, but it seems that if they had it they would have plundered because the M country would not have allowed their country's historic goods to be traded like these ancient artifacts." Alice explained.

"But how did that stuff get in here?" Ask Maya again confused.

"This is the Black Market. They would do anything to get a rare item especially if you were a collector. They must have looted the item and its export status and ownership must have been fake." Alice again.

"Juna and Galih must have seen this video, they will definitely report directly to country M for the investigation of their lost artifact items." Alice said and smiled happily that they could get this good information.

"Well the next item the emblem of the city of Teotihuacan in the country of MX in the pre-Colombian era.." Said the host again when the first item was riddled with a fantastic price, now he opened the item to be at another auction.

"God.. Isn't that an artifact too? I really can't be surprised anymore with the artifacts and ancient items that are even at auction here." Maya said as she shook her head.

"It seems like the organizers of this auction are not afraid of death." Said Alice flat.

Alice and Maya noticed the ancient artifacts and other rare items from various countries that could no longer be imagined to be in this place.

Finally the top of the show arrived. The auction of two young girls aged 18 and 20. The two girls appeared with their hands and feet tied on their knees on the stage with only white T-shirts and their eyes covered with black cloth.

"At last the waiting time came. Find out who the two girls are." Alice said to the earpice she used hidden inside her earrings.

"Good." Call Galih and immediately check who these two girls are.

"They really.. Jun check there is likely to be how much security and organizing team in this room. Investigate immediately before the buyers make the payment. You guys should get these people and organizers quickly!" Alice's orders to her earpice.

Galih and Juna do their job with ceoats, they are currently in a time-hunt. After all they had to foil all the auctions today. Besides making sure everything was illegal, they started telling Alice.

"It's done. All items at auction are loot and illegal. We can catch them all. For the two girls they were kidnapped, the two girls were from country A who were previously reported missing." Obviously Galih gave a report.

"June.." Said Alice.

"50 organisers and security teams. Our team is ready in place to ambush." Juna.

"alright.. Start.." Alice gave the order.

Seriate....
