JOKO SPECIAL AGENT

035 - BUDI, SPY JOKO.

“Aji Director. What do you think we need most right now? Bet. We have to risk everything. We are not in a proper position to investigate it legally.”

“Stay, Mom. It is very dangerous and too risky for him.”

“That's why. I took the guarantee,” answered Rina looking at the gun and Joko's identity card.

“Now Joko is officially duty free, so, if anything happens, it will be considered a deviant personal behavior, not the fault of our agency again.”

Rina's words make Aji believe that Rina is only using Joko for this case for her sake.

On the roof of the ARN building, as usual, Joko stood alone and stared at the vastness of the city of Jakarta from the building.

It seemed like he was also waiting for someone before he returned to his apartment.

“Pak!” tini from behind.

“Gosh. Are you all right, sir?”

Tini was surprised to see Joko's unfavorable condition with a slight cut on his temple and a blood mark that was on his white shirt.

“Can I ask? Where did you get the files you sent me?”

“I got it from my friend who works at the FBI. Didn't I tell you yesterday?”

“Good. I don't think it's been reported to the boss. Can you ask him to last a little longer?”

“Can I know the reason, Sir?” ask Tini.

Joko just kept quiet and didn't want to tell me what the real reason was.

“Alright then. I don't think I can help you this time, sir. Ii'm sorry. I'm gonna get in big trouble for this, so, I guess I can't do that without knowing why.”

As Tini stepped away, she,

“What do you want to know?” ask Joko.

“Tell me, what kind of situation are you in, so that I can understand you too.”

Joko let out a long sigh, then started to explain.

“You know there was an incident in China three years ago, before the tragedy of my disappearance there. I accidentally got involved with a gang belonging to a drug cartel that was also there.”

“I think that's why they're after me. It was my personal matter, so I wanted to close the case alone. Is that enough for you?”

“No, there's one more. Whatever your plans are this time, please involve me. Let me join you, Maybe, I can help you a lot.”

I don't know what Tini wants, suddenly he wants to join Joko and face the unusual problem. It seemed, there was something else that Tini was after, but I don't know what it was.

“Why did you do that?” ask Joko.

“Because I want to pursue a career, Sir,” replied Tini with a gentle smile.

“To be honest, I volunteered to work directly in the field, because it helped my performance evaluation. Gosh darn. I can't wait and really want to work with you, Sir,” Tini continued.

“I don't want to waste time and play it safe. Alright. Excuse me first, Mr.”

Tini bowed in salute to Joko and was about to leave.

“Tini!” call Joko.

Tini again stopped her steps and turned her body back.

“Ya, Sir.”

“I heard you were the best IT graduate at Oxford University, and you were also a hacker when you were in America. I'm looking for someone, so, I want you to find that person for me.”

Joko takes out a photo of someone from her suit and gives it to Tini.

“He is Budi. He once worked with me by being a spy who joined a gang owned by a drug cartel in China 3 years ago.”
