RECIDIVISTS
CHAPTER 24
Long enough Darmayanti sat quietly petrified to pay attention to the movements of several groups of people he did not recognize. From earlier he could sit quietly in one corner of the warehouse without anyone knowing its existence. Until the time of good fortune that had sided with Darmayanti now turned to leave him.
How surprised darmayanti when he realized a man standing upright behind him, watching his every move from now on. The man stood upright behind the dim light of the lamp, with the glare of his sharp eyes pouncing like a tiger stalking its prey.
Shocked by the presence of the man, Darmayanti unconsciously retreated several sites to the back until her body was leaning against the wall of the building. Slowly the man stepped closer to Darmayanti who was already pale, desperate.
“Are you all right?” yos asked Erni, but the little girl remained silent, not answering.
Although Yos's question did not find an answer, the trembling of Erni's small body in her arms was able to answer a question that Yos asked for a moment.
Yos breathed heavily. No little girl of Erni's age should be involved in the complexities of the black world.
“Ok Yos, now your request has been given and now it is my turn. Hand over the item, if the item you brought is original and not lacking then, you can go safely and safely,” the cynical voice of Lukman attracts Yos.
Yos grazed Lukman's face at a glance, after giving up the bag he had to leave the place immediately, but it was quite difficult for Yos to escape because Lukman's men were crowded into the warehouse. If only Erni and Vinda were not a burden, surely Yos would easily be able to escape from the siege of the mafia groups.
Yos put his mind to think of a way to get out of the place by bringing Erni and Vinda safe.
A cold-faced man stepped in with a hasty step towards Lukman, the man was seen whispering in Lukman's ear.
Yos used that little time to think harder, but in his little heart he was worried that Lukman was planning something. Once again the corner of Yos's eyes drifted, stealing glances at Lukman and the man who had just entered the room, the man came out and soon the man entered again, this time he was with a woman. Unable to hide the surprised look on Yos' face saw Darmayanti being dragged in by the man.
“Just relax, Yos... don't take things too seriously,” said Lukman who noticed Yos face change.
Not only was Yos surprised by Darmayanti's presence, Vinda also felt the same way, moreover Erni, the little girl was wriggling from Josh's arms as she saw her mother, jos drew the little girl tightly
“Mama...!!” Erni thrashed strongly in Josh's arms.
“Is this part of your plan, Yos?!” ask Lukman, firmly.
Yos just silently answered, not to mention the way out that squeezed his brain, now a new problem has been incarnated to add weight on the shoulders of Josh.
“I never planned anything. I just wanted to pick them up,” Yos looked at Winda and Erni as a gesture, “and you got this item you wanted instead,” Yos try convincing.
“Before this we may have never met, but I already know your nature and cunning!” sergeant Lukman. A moment Lukman looked at each other with Rio before he continued talking, “but it's okay, I'll still let you go. Before you go, hand over the item,” pinta Lukman.
Yos noticed Lukman and Rio's eyes for a moment. Look at the eyes that have meaning, but are difficult to interpret, “my purpose came indeed to give up this item as well as bring them home,” Yos threw the bag that he had brought on the floor.
Like a chief, Lukman refused to move on his own. He gave a signal for his men to check the contents of the bag that was already lying a distance of several meters in front of him.
Without delay, a Lukman's men walked in swift steps toward the bag that had been thrown by Josh. It was seen the man fumbling the contents of the bag then giving a thumbs up towards Lukman.
Lukman was bearded, engraved a smile of satisfaction on his lips. Although Yos had fulfilled all his wishes, but Lukman had to eliminate Vinda and Erni, because they were both witnesses of the murder case that Lukman had done.
“Detach the woman.!” Lukman's orders.
A Lukman's men release Darmayanti. Darmayanti stared at the sloppy faces now in front of her, one by one before she left from before them.
“Go, before I change my mind!” lukman's voice sounded sharply threatening.
Horror greeted Darmayanti's heart hearing Lukman's voice, the young mother rushed from Lukman's presence. If his beloved daughter had survived, to let alone serve the mob.
“Mama...” Erni thrashed on Yos lap, moving into her mother's arms.
“Erni is fine, mama... but Erni is afraid, Erni wants to go home,” Erni whines wants to leave the place immediately.
“Ya already, already... you guys quickly go from this place, mumpung I again be kind,” sound Lukman resuscitate Darmayanti that at this time he is in a place that should not be.
“Let's go from here,” Yos voice as if whispering, but quite clearly heard in the ears of darmayanti, Erni and also Winda.
As soon as Yos, Darmayanti, Erni and Winda turned around, putting on a move to leave that dangerous place, Lukman and Rio began to look at each other, looking at the eyes that had meaning, but only the two of them understood the meaning of the look in the eyes that seemed to speak.
It was seen Rio fumbling the thick jacket he was wearing, taking out a gun complete with silencers. The firearm he handed over to a thick-bodied man who had been standing straight beside him without saying a word, Rio turned around wanting to leave the place unable to see Yos die in front of him. Although counted among the criminals who had no mercy, but nevertheless Yos was still his brother who had contributed services when Rio was a child, in the past.
The hand of a Lukman's men began to lift a gun that Rio had given, starting to aim at the target, the man's face was like someone who had no heart.
A moment of shadowy childhood with Yos while playing with the rain in the middle of the rice fields, flashed in Rio's mind. It was undeniable that the brotherly instinct was still thickly clumped in Rio's heart, but his personal interests had blinded everything.
“Goodbye, bang,” muttered Rio while walking retracing the steps of wanting to get out from inside the warehouse through the back door.
Spontaneous Yos turned around as he heard the sound of someone falling behind him. Yos was slightly jolted as he saw the body figure lying lifeless on the floor. With Yos's replicas followed by Darmayanti, Yeni and Winda sought shelter as the atmosphere had turned frantic.
The man who had been assigned to shoot Yos, lying on the floor, was dead. Looked like a bullet in his forehead.
“Who fired the shot?” that was the question that played into Yos mind.
Not only Yos, but everyone in the warehouse harbored the same question, but saving themselves was more important than a question mark, they all looked up their heads reviewing where the direction of the bullet that had just made a member of their lives
*****
A bullet spewed from a long-barreled firearm belonging to the AKP Anom, landed right through the head of its target until the target fell lifelessly drooping.
AKP Anom split its members into 3 groups. Each group is equipped with a high-caliber long-barre firearm. All three teams hid on the roof of the building next to the warehouse that Lukman used as his headquarters.
“Do not fire unless forced,” whispered AKP Anom on a small microfhon located next to his cheek.
Circumstances inside the warehouse were quite large it had started to go unchecked, but all the teams led by AKP Anom again took positions. From behind the place where the party was, they again aimed the weapon at the target.
Being deceived makes the fire of anger in Lukman's chest overflow, but the fire of anger burns only itself, because it cannot release the anger to Josh.
“Yos..! I know you're still here, come out. Maybe I can still forgive you.!” shout Lukman.
The number of drum barrels and unused items in the warehouse makes it difficult for Lukman to find Yos who is now hiding somewhere. But Lukman was convinced that Yos was still around the place.
“Search and find them, fast.!!!” yelled Lukman at his men.
Hearing direct orders from the chairman, all members of the mafia immediately moved to review every corner of the building, looking for Yos. The average among them was seen moving with great care, as they already knew, Yos was not just anyone who could give up just like that.
From a distance a mob member saw a small shoe tip, he was very sure, it was the foot of a small child hiding behind a drum barrel. The man approached the drum barrel with the muzzle of a forward-stretched pistol ready to spit out a blind bullet.
Blood flow feels circulating faster, making the heart beat faster. Darmayanti, Erni and Winda felt the same, a terrible fear. Josh's presence beside them did not diminish their fear as the three of them saw a man holding a firearm begin to approach the hiding place they were in at this time.
