The Guards
Chapter 16
At the same time….
The Communication Center Headquarters Paspampres
Panic began to occur at the Paspampres headquarters, there were fifteen minutes more no reports of a level 1 unit escorting Arman. They also do various ways to contact but still nil.
“We have a dozen communication operators in this room, none of whom can explain what happened.” Said Bagas.
“Sorry sir, suddenly the entire campus area was like being blocked from various communication waves, even including satellite imagery as well”, said one operator ventured.
“Sial, where is there such technology?” Resist one of the agents.
“If from within the country it is impossible, but if there is interference by foreign parties it is another story.
“Do-don't..”.
“Yes right, they have the equipment from foreign parties. And I'm sure they don't just have a signal-blocking device, they certainly have other advanced weaponry. We have to put everything in place, tell all our agents….CODE MERAH” Bagas said as he grabbed his gun and rushed away.
Similarly to all the agents and operators in this room, they immediately rushed to the location. Code Red means all agents are on full alert, they will head to the target and do whatever it takes to solve it.

“They're almost everywhere, where are we going?” Arman panicked.
Arinda silently did not answer, that was what she was thinking from earlier. Many times they both had to hide because they always met the unknown troops. Although only a few people but they know very well the intersection points on this campus, so Arinda had to think hard to find the safest route.
“We cannot hide here forever, sooner or later they will find us” Arinda said.
“Iya I know, then where should we go? Almost all the crossing points they guard. We can't go anywhere” said Arman.
“Sstt...” Arinda silenced Arman's mouth with her hand to keep Arman quiet.
There was a conversation of several soldiers carrying a chest that seemed quite heavy, they were seen entering the elevator to the top floor. Arinda's gaze was fixed on the elevator that was moving up.
“I have an idea, come with” said Arinda while pulling Arman's hand.
With a slide they climbed the stairs to the top floor.
“Come fast, we have to get ahead of that lift” said Arinda hastening her steps up floor by floor.
“Iyaaa, patient napa” Gerutu Arman with gasping breath.
Finally
they stopped on the fifth floor, while the elevator was still moving on the third floor.
Arinda sheathed her gun and pulled out a taser of some kind from her waist.
“Why lo?” Arman asked confusedly.
Arinda attached a taser to the elevator button and turned it on, a few flashes and sparks appeared, and the elevator door opened forcibly. The elevator slowly climbed up to the top near their place,
“Jump...” Arinda said while pulling Arman.
With no time to protest, Arman and Arinda were already on the elevator.
“You heard that?” Said one of the soldiers who seemed to hear something above them.
Arinda who knows it gives a signal to Arman to be quiet not to make a movement.
“Nno sound really, maybe because the old building so the elevator was a bit rusty” replied his colleague.
“No, I actually heard something” said sure.
Shortly after the elevator doors opened, they rushed to haul out the crates. Arinda tried to peek out of the vent gap.
“Ohh no, they have prepared so far” said Arinda surprised.
“Means lo?” Tanya Arman who then took a peek down.
“They have Javelin” missiles, replied Arinda.
“I've heard of it, the most advanced surface-to-air attack missile belonging to the US. Is it really that great?”
“There will be no one able to approach this building from air” said Arinda sure.
***
Not a single student left the Class, Mr. Roni forbade all students to leave until the situation is safe. Even though Mr. Roni doesn't know what's going on outside either.
U…!!!
There was the sound of the classroom door being opened forcefully, making the view of the entire class fixed on the door that was wide open. Then entered three masked and fully armed soldiers, followed by several lecturers and employees of Business Administration that they managed to capture.
“Log in, join them!!” Force one of the soldiers while pushing one officer to the ground. The teachers and other employees rushed to obey what they were told.
Then a short time later a young man who did not wear a mask and only held a gun in his hand. The entire class turned rowdy due to the arrival of those creepy soldiers.
“Friends please calm down, including Mr. Lecturer also”.
But the young man's loud speech was not able to make the whole class obey his words.
Duarr…
One shot missed and the entire class was immediately silent, some were covering their mouths while crying from fear.
The young man walked to the front of the class and took out the absentee documents,
“Arman Winarno..which one is his son?” Ask the young man.
The whole class went quiet again, no one dared to answer including Ardi and Anastya. They had guessed that these unknown soldiers were targeting Arman.
Duarr…
“Jawab!!!” Shouted the young man who was accompanied by the sound of gunfire that was still echoing.
But they were all still silent, because they did not know where Arman had gone. The young man walked over to Mr. Roni,
“Can you please tell me where is your student named Arman?” Asked the young man politely, while playing his gun.
“Sa..I don't know, he was out with his friend somewhere” replied Mr. Roni trying to suppress his fear.
“Don't Lie” Snapped the young man while pointing his gun right in Mr. Roni's head.
“Be..Right, Sa. I don't know where he went” replied Mr. Roni with great trembling.
The young man slowly lowered his gun, then pressed the communicator device in his ear.
“Package is still outside, search dia” His orders.
Sandra breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that Arman had not been caught by them. He chooses to leave his gun in his study and is accidentally caught, in order to get into Arman's class to see the situation. For now he can only wait for the right time to come out and look for Arman. But the question is, is,
Who was Arman with???
