TERRORISTS

AUTHOR POV

"Can you please check the contents of the safe? Who knows if there's a clue there that could lead us to Galih!!" adrian said that began to be impatient.

"Okay, wait a minute! I brought the safe here first."

Nadine then took her father's safe which she had kept in the room. Fortunately the size of the safe is not too big, making it easier for Nadine to lift it. When the safe was in hand, Nadine immediately returned to the living room where both guests were waiting.

"This is the safe." Nadine placed the box-shaped and black object on the table.

Adrian approached the safe box and held it. "His code or password?" ask Adrian.

"Oh yes, sorry to forget!" Nadine patted her eel slowly because she forgot to squeeze the safe code.

"1...8...7...3...4...7...2..."

Slowly and carefully, Nadine pressed the numbers on the available buttons so that the safe managed to open. Without any doubt, Nadine allows Adrian to check for himself what is in Aaron's safe.

When the contents of the safe began to be raped, Adrian frowned as if he felt something strange. While Nadine and Ray can only look at each other without making a sound when seeing the look of Adrian's face that is difficult to describe.

Before long.released some paper and map files that are in the safe. Feeling dissatisfied, Adrian tried again to see and reach the contents of the safe deeper into the roots.

"Where? Is the flash in?" Nadine asked while looking at Adrian who was still busy taking out some items from the black box.

Adrian shook his head. If so, it can be ascertained that the contents of the safe are not in accordance with Adrian's previous expectations. In it there are only piles of paper and some small reading books. Curious, Adrian opened the books one by one. He also opened a folder containing files to ascertain what was written there.

"That means, it's very likely that Galih has already taken Pa-"

Unfinished Ray spoke, Adrian immediately glared at him with sharp eyes. It could be Ray almost keceplosan call it with the name 'Pak'. Adrian introduces himself as Ray's friend when he first sets foot in Nadine's apartment.

"Sir.I mean.large the possibility of his flash has been taken by Galih, Adrian.." Ray became unwell and hesitant himself because he called the name of his superior without using the frills 'Pak' or 'Mas' in front of him.

It feels like it's not polite. But in order to dismiss the suspicion in Nadine, she had to continue the play.

"Either why my little heart says that Galih hasn't gotten the flash, Ray!!" adrian told Ray. "It is not without reason that Mr. Aaron entrusts this safe to you, his daughter." Adrian's view turned to Nadine.

"But that's not normal? Before my father died, he must have left it all to me as a will. Especially in it only contains papers and some reading books of my father's collection, he really likes to read."

"No! This is not just a pile of paper, and a map, or a regular book!! If you pay attention to the details, some pages in these books are missing. Like being forcefully torn, you see.." Adrian showed me a book whose pages had been torn.

"Obviously it's torn, because pages that come off the book cover won't look like this. And that makes it a mystery, not just one book that is torn."

"I still don't understand all this, what does the page of the book that was torn with the flash you were looking for?" Nadine is confused to hear Adrian's explanation.

"It looks like your father left a message through these books. The message is not clear, a kind of puzzle that must be solved first. And that message will lead us to know where the flash is."

"Consider the titles of these 5 books!! Easter Island, Firestarter, Gone Girl, Hidden, and finally Insurgent. The title is sorted according to the alphabet, E..F..G..H..I.." I.."

"And again, the page torn from each of these books is a certain page. There's page 78, page 34, then page 9. It's like a pattern to look for first how the sequence is." Adrian explains to Nadine while flipping through the pages in the books.

While chatting, the three are shocked by the window glass in Nadine's apartment which suddenly breaks without any wind or rain. His voice was so loud that it made Nadine scream a little.

"Arghhh..astaga, that's broken window glass!!" peekkik Nadine's.

The location of the window was not too far from where the three of them were sitting, because the broken one was indeed the glass of the middle room window. And almost the shard hit the three of them, but luckily no one was hurt.

Even more surprising, not only the window glass is broken. Simultaneously, there were several large stones and red stains stuck between the glass fragments. The red stain looks like blood.

To be sure, Ray approached the window and felt the red stain while smelling it. "It stinks of dead animal blood" Ray said.

Undeniably, the smell of blood was very fishy and rotten. It could be that Ray's guess is right, if it's the blood of a dead animal though not necessarily too. The smell was very pungent, making Ray to keep his face away from his hands that had already been holding blood.

Out of curiosity, Adrian and Nadine try to get closer. But when Nadine was about to step foot, Adrian immediately held her back. "You wait there!!" he said with a cold tone.

Nadine only agreed to Adrian's orders, she thought it was a little dangerous too if she went along to check. Let it be the business of men.

Seeing Adrian and Ray whispering to each other long enough, Nadine took the initiative to open the chat. "Shouldn't we ask for help from the security of the apartment to open the CCTV camera? From there it can be found out who did it?!!"

"Non't now!!!" Adrian raised his right hand. "You are also free to ask for help with security here.it will get nothing!! The culprit must be wearing a mask and masking his identity, where his face can be detected through a small CCTV camera!"

"But at will, the stature of the perpetrator can be identified. There is no harm in going there, if not tried how to know. Maybe they don't wear masks or masks?!" Nadine debated Adrian.

"We'll check the CCTV next time, not now! This is a trap.anyone who does it is already in the setting to damage your window glass intentionally. If one of us split up and went to the CCTV room, it would be a loophole for them to attack us. When we get out of this apartment, we don't know what's going to happen! Clearly, they must be more in number, while we're just three."

The arrival of Adrian and Ray to meet Nadine this time was not accompanied by bodyguards. The reason, Adrian does not want to attract the attention of many people if he carries a motorcade. Therefore, they only went alone to Nadine's apartment. Adrian also seemed relaxed. He thought that nothing would happen today. But his decision not to bring bodyguards was less wise, as it turned out that there was a surprise attack.

"Why do you think that far? Could it be all because of a prankster?" Nadine tried to understand this incident all with her mind still stricken with confusion.

"There's a prankster throwing big rocks and dead animal blood at your apartment window until it breaks like this!" Adrian started to show his fangs. "This is part of the terror, I know because I'm used to it" Adrian said in a firm tone.

"But why are they terrorizing me? I don't know anything and I don't know them!" ask Nadine.

"As I thought before, your father's flash drive they haven't got yet! As a result, you become a victim of terror. Assumption them, you must know where the flash is, which when... in fact you do not know anything?!" replied Adrian who still had a flat face.

"This is it. You better come with me!" not wanting to make any more pleasantries, Adrian immediately invited Nadine to come with him.

"I?!! Ik..follow you? What's for?" said Nadine stammered.

"For your own safety. Like I said, you are in terror and your life is in danger. If you come with me, you will get protection. At least until we can solve the mystery of your father's safe code and bend the shooter."

"But we are.also new to know! What makes me believe in you? You can be the same as them. Or maybe you're one of those people who want to use me?" reply Nadine.

"If I wanted to do evil with you, I would have done it all along. No need to wait for long. It only takes a few minutes to get rid of you!" adrian's statement made Nadine shiver.

"The choice is two, you want to come with me and be safe.or you want to stay here but scared and feel unsettled. I'll bet they will do terror again. Just waiting for time..."

Questions came up for Nadine. How is this, does he have to believe in these two men in front of him and accept Adrian's invitation or not??? The more confused it is.
