Srak! The sound of Salwa's footsteps stepped on the dried leaves covering the ground. He covered his entire body with vines to blend in the interior following Ronal who walked in front of him.

Kringgg! The sound of Bams' cell phone beeping made both stop including Salwa .

"Who?" Ronal asked Bams who grabbed his phone from the pocket.

"Boss." Answer Bams picked up the phone. "Hello Boss!" Welcome Bams from the end of the phone with a frowning forehead making Ronal and Salwa look towards Bams. "Yes the boss." Look at Ronal. "I understand." He said a few seconds later.

"What's wrong?" Ronal asked who was uncomfortable with the way Bams looked at her.

"Bos asked you to return to Indonesia to make Lukas' move to Jakarta." Answer Bams.

So they want to move Lukas to Jakarta. Then they can't find Luke first. Inner Salwa who then glanced at Luke's temporary position on his phone.

"Aaw!" Ringis Luke slowly sat leaning behind a large tree with arms full of incisions. He broke through the thorny vines on a dark day. The thorns on the vines scratched Luke's body in the darkness.

"Do you have a flashlight?" Ask one of Bams' men in the dark.

"Nothing!" Another answer made Luke who was near them close his mouth and hold his breath.

"Do we still have to continue the hunt?" Ask the others.

"We are waiting for the boss." The answer passes through Luke's existence followed by the others. "Let's find it again!" Invite him to all along the forest to continue the search. Seeing the departure of a group of Bams' men makes Luke inhale while grimacing to endure the pain that increasingly torments him. With strength left Luke stood up while holding back the blood that kept flowing from his stomach. He stepped with his arms propped up on every tree that was reached in the darkness. Faintly he heard Bams yelling at his men to stop the search for a moment Luke could no longer move his legs.

Bruk! The sound of Luke falling in Salwa's catch made one of Bams' men turn their heads.

"Shouldn't you hear?" Ask the man who turned around to tell his friend.

"Sound what?" His friend replied asking.

"There's a falling sound." His reply made Salwa close her mouth while holding Luke's body which was now leaning on him.

"You heard it wrong." The denial.

"Don't that be the guy who ki--"

"-Forget it!" Cut friend. "You're not tired!" Embrace his friend to go ignore what has just been heard. "We'll go back first! Where can the man run? I saw the wound pretty bad." It definitely made Salwa a little relieved.

Slowly Salwa filled Luke with moonlight that helped them through the forest. And soon the two arrive at Luke's destroyed building. Salwa did not see the whereabouts of the car that was parked outside the gate, except for the three cars that were inside the gate.

Bugs! The voice of Salwa rests Luke on a pile of rubble upon arrival in the building. He started a bonfire using the crumbs of the seats of the remains of the explosion. Then Salwa took off the jacket on Luke's body and began to clean the wound with potluck alcohol from inside his backpack.

"Aakhs!" Ringis Lukas lapse a few minutes later with his eyes slowly open. "You---" Luke's hiss was interrupted to see that his arm had been bandaged. "--Why are you here?" Luke asked to see Salwa who continued to bandage his stomach wound.

"I put a tracker on your phone." Salwa answered, who then grabbed the mineral water.

"You---"

"- You might die here if I don't come soon!" Cut Salwa open the bottle cap. "Now!" Give it to Luke. "Quick drinking!" Pinta Salwa while reinserting medical devices into her backpack.

Gleg glegs! Luke's voice gulped down the entire water from the bottle.

"Come on!" Get Salwa to help Luke stand up.

"Where are you taking me?" Ask Lukas.

"We need to get out of here before they get you back!" Salwa answered him.

"Capture me?" Luke asked raise one of his eyebrows.

"Yes." Yeah." Answer Salwa. "I heard them talking to someone on the phone." Reciprocity. "They said they'd move you to Jakarta." It was clear that Lukas was in the car.

"The man with the dragon and the snake tattoo says your name." Salwa answered while closing the car door that leads to Luke from the outside.

Looks like what they're talking about isn't me but Luhan her husband. Luke's mind rested his body while looking at Salwa who entered the car.

"You know who called the tattooed man?" Luke asked Salwa who started the car.

"I didn't hear them mention names." Salwa answered turning her car out of between the two cars. "But the man called him Boss." Turn the steering wheel out of the gate.

"Boss?"

"Yes." Yeah." Sahut Salwa drives beside him. "The man with the tattoo calls him Boss." Salwa reminded Luke of his reunion with Bams 12 years ago through a man Bams called his Boss.

The tring! The message notification sound went to Luke's phone 6 months ago.

"Can we make a schedule to meet?" Write a message from an unlisted number on his phone.

"Fero!" Call Lukas. "Do you know whose number this is?" Ask Luke to give her phone.

"Who?" Tanya Fero received a cell phone, then typed the number on the screen into his cellphone. "A casino owner." Give back his phone to Luke. "Did you forget?" Ask Fero back to his computer.

"Yes." Yeah." Luke replies that he is shaking his lab tube.

"He's one of our clients from our country." Obviously Fero opened the client list file they had on the computer.

"Saka Adijaya?" Luke asked to pour the liquid from his lab on the stainless rectangular disk in front of him.

"Not." Shall Fero who is still looking for the data of someone who just sent a message to them.

"Isn't our client who has a casino only Saka is from Indonesia." Said Lukas grabbing a droplet beside him.

"He's a new client." Fero opens the file in the file.

"New client?" Pulling a pipette by looking at Fero.

"Yes." Yeah." Answer Fero. "His name is Raden Prakas, 47. A secret hotel owner and one of the largest casino owners in Indonesia." Obviously Fero printed out Raden Prakas' data for Lukas who then met him two days after the message came in.

Luke got out of the car with Warp Around black glasses framing on his two eyes. He was then greeted by two bodyguards when he entered the resort lobby.

"Let's come with us, sir." Said one of the guards giving way to Luke. They take Lukas to an open space designed behind the hotel. "Through here Sir!" The bodyguards lead Luke to a gazebo floating on an artificial lake.

Tap tap tap! His third footstep along a wooden bridge to one of the gazebos. Luke lowered his glasses slightly and glanced at a man in a kimono. He sat down on the sofa while enjoying tea from the lips of his glass.

"Wait here for a second, sir!" Pinta guards by stretching out one hand to stop Luke from continuing his steps. Then one of them advanced three steps from where Luke stood with the other bodyguard.

"Boss!" Call the guards with a bow. "The guy's here." Reciprocity.

"All right." The man pulled the glass from his lips. "You can go." The bridge placed a glass on the table along with the hand that blocked Luke down.

"Please sir." The Guards invited Luke to their boss.

"Please sit down, Mr. Luke." Welcome Raden to Lukas who looks at his new client from behind sunglasses.
