Title: What Happened Before Dawn
_________________________
Strittt's…! Pukkkkp! The sound of a rough squeak in the aftermath of a loud clashing sound was heard.
At first glance something was falling. Something ill-fated, almost touching the end of the sidewalk.
The highlight of a pair of lights still highlighted and highlighted yellowish, as if fumbling something in front of the road there.
“Gosh! Oh my God, how is this. Nikolas, how is this?”
It looks like fear! The famous fear exclaimed nervously and came out of one's mouth. Someone who just came out with someone else.
Two young men who looked confused and frightened.
Nervousness and horrified gazes were just drifting at each other.
“Nikolas, why are you silent. How is this now? Look at him, his hands are still moving. We'll just take him to the hospital.”
“Don't!!! I can be arrested later because of this. After all this is not entirely my fault! If you hadn't dropped your cigarette right in my arm, I wouldn't have been able to tip my left. You're guilty john!”
“Keep how is this Nikolas?”
john said, with a pale half-dead look on his face.
While another one, a man named Nicholas, still seemed confused, while being trapped. His hands continued to unceasingly rub his forehead.
“Nik! We better leave him. No one's looking anyway. Nik come!”
said John, who seemed to be unable to bear anymore with a grinning fear in his mind.
“Do not! That's a bad idea! You know for yourself. Earlier already! At the end of the road there. We had a chance to cross paths with a meatball, he could have been a witness to this incident. And I thought he recognized my car too, and maybe, he saw my face behind the glass of the car I half opened earlier”
“Then what now!”
“We'd better put this guy in the car. And then we dump the body in the middle of the jungle”
“But..!”
“Had john not to wear but, But, again. If you don't want to go in bui! You better tour me, said ku”
overlap nicholas.
John just closed his lips. His eyes were still staring nervously. Look at someone who just got hit by their car. Horrified still infiltrated his mind, besides the blood that still looks warm and thick it makes him want to vomit immediately.
While John's body continued to feel a sense of trembling, and goosebumps all over his body.
“Hey john! What are you doing, help me quickly. We lift this guy up and put him in the trunk of the car.”
nicholas half-cried, at his companion.
Without much to say, John followed the words of Nicholas, who was already holding on to his arms and shoulders, someone who had slipped off in the street. The man's face was covered with some newspaper, which he took from his car.
The bodies of the ill-fated people were also irus and often they input in the trunk of the car.
“Come Quick Nik! we'll be caught by people!”
“He knows!”
exchange nikolas while pressing the trunk lid of the car.
—
Prosecutor! The doors of the car were sounding strong, as they rushed inside the car, whose engine was already inaudible echoing in the air again.
Instantly round the tire moves backward then forward, melting some of the drops in the bearing of the road.

“Nikolas, Quickly! It seems that dawn is coming soon. Woe to us if dawn comes, because there will be very many officers on the streets later, I'm afraid just in case we look striking, by some of them, or others”
he said John, holding up nicholas's sleeve.
The forehead of the nicholas shriveled instantly, in the follow, a drop of sweat that poured down the groove of his face, up to his chin.
He also felt anxious as he looked at the still dark sky, and was still filled with the flickering of the stars. And the smile of the night, which seems to be soon at dawn.
It was almost an hour in panic.
The pattern of street lights began to fracture one-by-one, the road began to fill several vehicles that passed.
The tension became even more, when some motorcyclists were watching their cars.
“Hey Nik! We'd better dump the guy's body to the edge of the grass on the side of the road. Because it seems that dawn is beginning to break at the end of the sky! Could be dangerous later if more people on the road!”
John said increasingly tense, while sighing strongly nikolas's sleeve. His eyes began to water with fear of dying.
“Hey fucker! Stop that rant, you're like a kid. Your rant makes my ears hot.”
Nicholas starts to get emotional with his friend's attitude.
“Anj*ng! Didn't you know it was already dawn. Look closely at the horizon, the stars begin to vanish. Don't you know we're finished! We're done when dawn hits. And dozens of policemen will soon be scattered on the street. Take it aside now and then we'll put the body on the edge of the grass before dawn. And do you know we won't get to the middle of the forest before dawn”
John cried while giving nicholas began to be confused.
“hahaha…! Oye! You are a fool, if you insist, to throw the corpse on the edge of the grass. Don't you know! The body will giggle at you for your actions.
Look around you. Don't you realize! There were how many people with their vehicles, who started popping up on the road. Your actions are suicide!”
nicholas said, laughing coldly, like a madman.
“Then what! Then what now?”
“There is only one way now!”
nikolas looked at John who was getting tired and dizzy.
“What is the way?”
john suspiciously stared at his colleague Nicholas, who began to bite at the tip of his index finger.
Nicholas smiled faintly, and whispered something in the ear of his colleague.
“Hahaha.. Barbarically! I didn't think it had to be like that the way that was left!”
“Hahaha.. You're Right! It's ironic and unimaginable!”
the two friends also laughed at each other like crazy people in the car, who were driving on a road that now no longer looks grim as before.
Yep! True dawn has said hello to the sky, and wipes warmly all that is under heaven. Several vehicles, and pedestrians were starting to get crowded.
While the car was driven by Nicholas, and in the ride john began to move through the clear dawn. And it moved further and further away, leaving a trail of blood continuously dripping from the hood behind their car.

The next day, a driver is seen buying a newspaper at a newspaper occupier on the side of the road.
He read a shocking news story. That two young men, hit a middle-aged man named Saiful, and the two young men also brought the man they hit to a hospital at 05:32 am.
The two young men are being examined by the authorities. Lsb…!
