Red Merona

02

Not long after, Gotzen's footsteps reached the male dormitory. He walked closer to the room where he had seen his friend.

He found the door open. He entered the room, saw one cupboard on the left and one in front of the door, then a table facing the wall next to the cupboard, there is also a chair by the window, behind the table.

In the room, there was also one corpse with a stab in the left chest and two corpses with severed heads. Gotzen crouched down and clenched some of his red hair with both hands.

"Ahhhhhh shit, what really happened." he muttered.

Then Gotzen remembered someone, and he immediately left the place. Gotzen walked past the main building towards the ladies' dormitory to the north. The room he went to this time was the room where his sister Izk, who was named Rea.

On the way, in a corridor, he met Bayu and Chicken.

"Captain, what should we do?" Ask Bayu.

"For a while, gather all the bodies in the field, I want to examine them one by one." replied Gotzen, then passed leaving the two men behind.

"Ready captain!" Answer them while sticking the finger of the right hand at the end of their eyebrows.

Arriving in the room he was in. A corpse with a severed head was stretched stiff in the middle of the entrance. Although without a head, from clothes, body shape and chest size, it is clear that she is a woman. Gotzen then stepped over the corpse and entered the room. 

A disembodied head was seen near the foot of a long black-haired girl's corpse with a stab to the left chest. There is also a closet and a bed with a thin mattress on the left, three pillows and a blanket neatly arranged on it. There is also a chair and a table on the right.

Gotzen walked up to the table in the room. There were bookshelves, some books and some pens complete with an ink box. His eyes are now fixed on a cylindrical object, it is not foreign to him, because it used to belong to Gotzen's younger sister named Lia.

After retrieving the object, Gotzen immediately left the room while several soldiers were seen still busy carrying the corpse out, under the command of Bayu, Emi and Chicken.

In the middle of the field, Gotzen examined the faces of the corpses they found.

However, out of the dozens of corpses gathered, the person Gotzen was looking for did not exist. He then turned around, walking closer to his three subordinates. His eyes stared at the two people behind Bayu.

"Emi, Chicken, take some soldiers with you, look for clues and information from the people around here" Gotzen said.

"Ready captain!" Answer them both, do not forget with a respect, after that they passed.

Gotzen then turned his gaze towards Bayu.

"Wood, you and the soldiers immediately went to the back shed to retrieve the tools that could be used to dig the ground, we must first bury these corpses before returning to the base!" Gotzen.

"Ready captain!" answer Bayu.

Not felt, that afternoon had changed to night. However, the full light from the reflection of the round object on the night of the 15th illuminated the field behind the parlour.

Seen Gotzen was pensive behind the main building, he sat on a rung of stairs with elbows on both thighs and fingers crossed in front of his chin. A few meters in front of Gotzen saw Bayu and other soldiers digging the ground with makeshift tools.

Soon Emi, Chicken and some soldiers had returned, with them there were also some people around coming to help. Noticing that, Gotzen immediately stood up and approached Emi.

"How, is there a clue?" tanya Gotzen, with a look of hope.

"Sorry captain, despite our efforts, there is no clue we can get, it seems that before us, no one knows this" Emi replied.

"No way, a massacre like this should have left a clue, no one could have done this without anyone knowing" Gotzen thought. His heart was dissatisfied, he wanted to stab Emi with some questions overflowing inside his head. But he kept that thing down.

"Well then, how else, you just take a break" Gotzen said, then took his eyes off Emi. He sat back in a chair, occasionally staring at the sky that looked quite calm that night.

With the light of the moon that night, Bayu, Chicken, the soldiers and some people from around continued to take turns digging the ground in the empty land around the orphanage. 

It takes until the morning until they can bury all the bodies they do not know who and how the story during his life.

The sun that rises in the morning looks very bright and dazzling.

The chicken was seen sitting at the back door of the building at the back of the parlour, as if asleep, leaning against the left doorpost. On the right side of Chicken, Emi also looks asleep and leaning to the right of the doorpost. Perhaps the proper term to describe it is one door both.

Not far in front of them, Gotzen sat on a chair while watching his exhausted subordinates.

While not far to the left of Gotzen seen Bayu who was bowing his head and body.

"Thank you for the help" Bayu said, to some of the people who helped.

"Together master," they answered, then left the place.

Bayu turned around and walked towards Gotzen.

"Captain, how next? What are we gonna do?" Bayu asked, he stood upright to the left of Gotzen.

"Now it's better to just go home, and there's no clue we're getting, we're exhausted enough" Gotzen replied, then turned around, walking up to Emi and Chicken to wake them up. 

Gotzen, Chicken, Bayu, Emi, and the soldiers immediately left the place. The distance between their headquarters and the orphanage was quite far, passing through rocky roads, villages, rice fields and forests.

In the middle of the journey, after being in a village that is not far from the headquarters.

"Captain," said Emi stopped their steps. Gotzen who was at the very front immediately turned his gaze towards Emi.

"What's Emi?" Ask Gotzen

"That, captain. Can I go home today?" pinta Emi with a little hesitation.

"Yes, you can go home." Gotzen replied without asking much.

"Thank you captain!" suhut Emi, while bowing her head and body. Then he handed over the notebook he always brought to Bayu, then immediately left while waving his hand.

"See you tomorrow" said Emi, with a sweet smile on her pretty face.
