The Dusk of the Middle East

Episode 17's

The four people inside the room were quite surprised when the door opened quite violently.

"What is this." Mei asked first. He stood up, clucking his waist. Requesting explanation.

"We will hand Saleh over to the Japanese who served at the opposite bridge post. This man was suspected as one of the rebel militants for the shootout this morning." Sergeant Heiho accused her of being sneaky.

"That's impossible." Mei's quick, don't take it.

"There was an eyewitness who saw him at the scene this morning, and when the gunfight happened he wasn't on the ship." Clearly Heiho took out his argument.

"Well, he was on the scene, but he was with me the whole time. We were separated when the explosion happened." Yusuf said, defending.

"I expected it, sir. If you're going to relate to what happened this morning with me. But I didn't expect you to come here without checking the truth first." Saleh speaks casually. He did not see the slightest fear from his face.

"Don't say much of your shit. What you two did. Hurry up and get him." Hardik Heiho on the two Japanese soldiers beside him.

The two men then took up arms, trying to force Saleh out of the treatment room.

"Hehe." Saleh laughed mockingly.

"Fuun." Umpat Heiho then floated a kick about the place on Saleh's calf in the bandage. Heiho felt he did not accept being underestimated.

Mei and Robin were hysterically screaming. Saleh grimaced, blood coming out from behind the bandage. Looks like the wound stitches are open.

Plaque.

Unexpectedly, Mei slapped the powerful Sergeant Heiho.

The room became silent for a moment. Heiho looked at Mei ferociously, her hand about to slap her cousin's sister back.

"One. One, your fingertips hit my face. I make sure it's not Africa where you're dumped, but I'll close south, play with penguins and polar bears." May warned.

Sergeant Heiho lowered his hand. He coded the two Japanese soldiers to bring Saleh out of the room. For now, all he needed to do was throw the man in jail.

"Keep your hands away from her." May's orders, "Are you okay?"

"Since when have you been close to this lowly neighborhood? And who are you calling Brother?" It was not Saleh who answered but Heiho who now asked rudely.

"You're so outrageous Heiho." Jerky May rough. He looked very angry, no longer even calling Heiho as a sister.

Sergeant Heiho was about to protest, but Mei raised her hand up. That's a sign he doesn't want his words cut off by anyone.

"First. You're not polite coming into the treatment room without knocking directly pushing the door just like that. Thank goodness there were only four of us in this room. But what if earlier, there are parents who have a history of heart disease here? It could be that the person died immediately from surprise."

"second. Your reasons are completely unfounded to accuse Saleh of being a suspect in this morning's case. What Saleh said was of course true, did you not check the matter first before accusing people?"

"Twelve gunmen were arrested this morning by officers. They may now be in prison, tortured or may have been shot dead. While Saleh was on this ship after desperately trying to save Robin, it was clear he was not the culprit."

"Three. You're accusing based solely on assumptions, without accurate evidence. Just based on your dislike for her, you rudely want to drag her for your embarrassment."

"Fourth. Most importantly, you forgot that Saleh saved Robin. I don't know what my sister would have been if there wasn't a Saleh who saved her."

"I could've reported your actions to Mom, so I'd have to tell your dad at once." Threaten Mei to look serious, "Really out of spite, you're dark in the eyes."

Sergeant Heiho was silent, but all in the room could see clearly. The look on his face that was holding back was angry, his hands clenched tightly. Mei's remarks all sounded like an insult to her. But he obviously could not do anything, because if true the shooter was found this morning. This time it was wrong.

"Alright, I'm sorry for that." Said Sergeant Heiho briefly. He turned his body, about to walk away. "I'll definitely repay you later in May." Inner Heiho.

"Wait!" Mei exclaimed, stopping Sergeant Heiho's footsteps.

Heiho did stop, but did not turn his body.

"You have to apologize to Saleh." Say May later.

Heiho snorted in annoyance, then continued his steps. Until I die, I will never apologize to the native.

Mei hurriedly chased after Heiho's long steps, "I haven't finished talking." Mei pulled Heiho's hand to stop.

"There's especially? If you're gonna ask me to apologize to that fucking guy. Better not waste my time." Heiho took her hand off from Mei's.

"Don't you think I didn't know you yesterday, Heiho."

"What do you mean?" Sergeant Heiho's face suddenly turned pale.

"As I said before. You're a great Sergeant, but my influence is greater than yours."

"Just tell me the point May." Heiho looks riled up.

"One of your men reported that when the new ship docked at Labuan pier, you went straight down. And you went to the girls' place the night. You were also drunk that night so the next day you weren't there when the big thing at the market happened."

"Let me guess. You must have been asleep all day because you had too much to drink, or all day long you've been sleeping with a lot of hired women." Mei with scorn.

Sergeant Heiho looks surprised, "You don't make this up." Kill Sergeant Heiho.

"Ckck, I have proof brother. I knew you'd be in denial, so I had some people tail and photograph what you were doing."

"That's the reason why you've been missing since the ship's docked at Labuan, and you want to drag Saleh in as a perp so the Japanese don't know what their Sergeant did."

Heiho remained silent, her hands clenched tightly, "What do you want?"

"Sway that guy." Press Mei.

"Here he's already doctrinalizing your brain, Mei. I told you to stay away from that guy." Sergeant Heiho said rudely, it seems that he did not accept.

"The man you say is dangerous is better than you. Never mind, I don't want to argue with you, Sergeant. Remember not to bother Saleh, or I'll report your shameful actions to mom and dad."

"It doesn't matter if you play girls or get drunk, no one will blame you for that. But you did it during the uprising, and Robin was missing that day. Dad and mom wouldn't just let you go if you knew." I think there's enough of what he's talking about. Then he stepped back into the treatment room.

While Heiho was still standing in his place, today he lost a landslide.

"Be careful, I will definitely avenge you both." Heiho muttered inadmissive.
