The Guards
Chapter 18
President Joyo Winarno was still amazed by the sophisticated objects in front of him. Initially only an ordinary suitcase, but after opening it turns out to be able to take out 3 screens each 14 inches wide.
“Through this tool you can monitor all CCTV in this country, even our satellites. The system adapts it from US God Eyes technology, and we call it Hawk Eyes.” Said Colonel Ivan accompanied by an operator codenamed Abhimanyu.
“Good, thank you” replied the President was happy.
“Sorry Sir, if I may know why you bother to participate in monitoring the hijacking of the Kertajaya Institute of Technology? Can't you get a report directly from the troops there?” Ask Colonel Ivan.
The president was silent for a moment, then stood up and walked over to the photos on the other table. He rubbed a picture of himself with Arman in shooting practice together.
“I haven't been next to him for a long time, the last time we took a photo together and did a thing together was when he was in 1st grade of High School. You know what it's like to be unable to accompany your children for more than 2 years? They'll be very foreign to you.
That was my biggest mistake with Arman. Both the president and the ordinary people have the same time, which is 24 hours. What is different is only a priority, I still prioritize my responsibilities as the president of the Republic of Indonesia, and there are other priorities that I sacrifice for it.
“I said this because I know that you guys are very close to Arman. You've been guarding him for almost 24 hours, haven't you? You know Arman psychologically, especially agent Shinta. Saving the Kertajaya Institute of Technology is indeed the top priority, but your priority is to save Arman. You guys have a plan, right?” Ask president.
“Sure sir, we will coordinate with the combined forces” replied Colonel Ivan.
“No Need, You guys do whatever is best for Arman” President said.
Colonel Ivan was rather surprised by the statement.
“But sir, Terrorism affairs are the expertise of the TNI and the Police.”
“Indeed, this is their job, and they have done it as we discussed in the meeting. But your job is Arman, please save him. I'm sure you guys can, and I'm sure Shinta can” the President said

“We can get out? I'm starting somewhat...” Said Arman with a slightly breath of breath.
“Don't say you're starting to have trouble breathing” Guess Arinda. While slightly unpacking and fiddling with his HP.
“Yes crazy, we're almost an hour here, we're definitely out of oxygen. What else do you do anyway? Although it was also dismantled there will be a signal” Protest Arman.
“I tried to send a morse message to my base, hopefully they find out. We need as soon as possible a means of communication, we need at least a satellite phone or cable phone” Arinda said while pacing back and forth.
Arman scrunched his forehead, it seemed like he was remembering something,
“Gue knows where kayak tool is” Arman said
“Where?”
“Optics and Electromagnetic Laboratory Applied” Replied Arman.
Arinda was silent for a moment, trying to remember where she was.
“Don't say you don't know where it is.. It's exactly two floors above us”.
“Oh yes, let's hurry there” Invite Arinda excited.
“How?”
“Ya climb, let's hunt” Sahut Arinda who climbs with agility.
Arman had no choice but to follow him.

“Please his attention..” Said the young man after a short conversation with his men.
“Before we apologize for interrupting your lecture activities, you must have known us, right?…all the mass media are heavily discussing our actions.
We don't mean to hurt you, our main target is not you. So it would be nice if you guys stay here, don't act like shit, until we find what we're looking for.”
“Luckily Arman has come out, this means Arinda is not on their side” Bisik Ardi.
“Who is Arinda? Is it the same as Shinta?” Answer Anastya.
“Arinda?” Sandra said softly, after hearing Ardi and Anastya's conversation
“You mean Arman came out with Arinda? Who's she?” Sandra's question began to be rather close to Ardi and Anastya.
“Arinda new student in this class Mom, Arman was forced by Arinda, we couldn't prevent him because he was carrying a pistol” Ardi said.
Sandra was somewhat surprised, how could a student possibly carry a gun? As Sandra remembered, no more agents were taken down with her, and she didn't seem to be part of the enemy either. So who is this Arinda???.
Sandra suddenly stood up, making some enemies nearby begin to alertly point the muzzle of her rifle.
“What's up?” Ask the young man.
“I permission to bathroom” Reply Sandra loudly.
Then the young man gave a sign to two of his men to guard.
“You're kidding me? It is impossible for me to go to the bathroom accompanied by them” Protests Sandra.
“Let me just”
Sandra turned to the origin of the voice. He is a new lecturer who enters along with Sandra.
“Bu Wiwin..” Gumam Sandra.
Turns out Shinta was right, there was an intruder on this campus. He must be part of the enemy force.
“Alright.and take this just in case” Said the young man while throwing his gun.
Wiwin swiftly caught it, from the way he held the gun already seen that he used to use it.
“You two follow me” Wiwin's orders on two enemies.
“Come fast” Snap Wiwin,
Sandra complied, she planned to monitor the situation outside and search for clues about Arman's whereabouts.

As quickly as the news of the hijacking spread, in an instant around the Kertajaya Institute of Technology has been filled by dozens of Police and TNI personnel. Several Panzer, barracuda and two middle-class tanks were lined up around the scene. So far they have still not made any moves to break in.
Not far from the defense line, there is a house that is used as a Joint Team Post. There is a gathering of strategists from Densus 88 Anti-terror, Kopassus and also including Paspampres.
“We must quickly barge in, when we cut down” Proposed Captain Hasim from Kopassus.
“How?” Ask AKBP Jono from Densus 88 Anti Terror.
“We have an armored vehicle and a panzer, use it to break down the gate, or we can also drop the troops using a helicopter quickly. They won't be able to work” said Captain Hasim.
“You don't see they have Javelin Missile? Because of that we have to lose 10 of the best soldiers of Densus 88. With that weapon they can easily paralyze our armored vehicles” Refute AKBP Jono.
“Moreover we can not endanger the safety of lecturers and students” added Colonel Ivan.
It's really difficult, each of them has an ego to excel his strategy and army. Colonel Ivan must also take on the mission of the President to save Arman. Right now Shinta is also sick, it is impossible to get her involved.
“Sorry sir, there was an incoming call from inside the Kertajaya” Institute of Technology said one operator, it made the whole room dumbfounded.
Colonel Ivan was hoping it was from one of his agents.
