The Guards

Chapter 26

Panzer and the two trucks drove further and further down the forest rim. So far there are still no signs of threats from the TNI or other authorities. For a while they managed to escape again.

“How?” Ask Alex.

“All documents and plans have been scanned and inserted into the flash Commander” replied an enemy soldier who from earlier fiddled with the laptop.

“Good, we just broke the encryption code when we arrived at the headquarters later” said Alex.

“After you decode it and get the plan, then what? You can't possibly be building that weapon, right? It takes a long time and costs a lot of” said Arman who sat in the corner panzer.

Arman hasn't fought much since these enemy soldiers took him, he wants to know what exactly they want. From yesterday he just kept quiet, watching and analyzing whatever they said and did.

“Smart also you..we do not intend to build it, this design is only for our clients. The rest we need” replied Alex who was busy observing the results of the laptop.

“Show?” Ask Arman curiously.

“You think the project contains only weapons designs? you should learn more history Man. Inside the bunker also contains dozens or even hundreds of other bloody projects belonging to the Soviet Union, which were carried out in this country.”

Bloody project? Whatdoes thatmean? Ask Arman in my heart.

“Commander, Humvee we back” Report one of the enemy soldiers from the front rudder.

Alex grabs the radio next to him.

“Tim Delta report situation..”

No answer at all.

“Tim Delta report the situation, Change..” Alex repeated his contact.

But there's still no reply. Alex stood up and pulled the periscope attached to the panzer roof.

“They're our members right Commander?” Ask one of its members.

“Not..they are not our members. The one annoying intelligence agent, the one stubborn Paspampres agent.” Said Alex.

Arman was surprised to hear that. Shinta and Arinda? Inner Arman.

“Shoot...get rid of them” Order Alex with rest.

One of the enemy soldiers went up to the roof to the first dome, and soon the echo of the sound of the caliber 60 bullet was heard incessantly.

“They turn Commander” Shouted enemy soldiers from the dome room.

“Leave it...we don't have much time to serve them.” Answer Alex.

Arman suddenly became restless, how were they doing? Are they safe? Are they hurt? Three questions filled his brain.

“Not to worry, they must be safe. But they won't be able to do anything to save you” Alex said as if he knew Arman's thoughts.

Although it was filled with shrapnel here and there, the humvee continued to run on the narrow forest roads. Although not as good as the main road, the small road can be passed by one car.

“So it's almost broken into pieces” Shinta said in a bit of shock.

“I also did not expect he would recognize us from a distance” replied Arinda.

“By the way where are we going?” Shinta asked, the darkness of the night and the forest as fierce as this is very difficult to see the location

“Just relax, I know where they're going” replied Arinda.

Shinta looked at him like she couldn't believe it,

“Where did you know?”

Arinda showed me a device attached to her left hand. It's like a mini computer connected to satellite imagery and a drone on the air.

“Ohhh...” Shinta said no more comments.

In his heart to acknowledge the prowess of Arinda, as an intelligence backed by super-sophisticated equipment, of course he was always one step ahead.

***

“I want to know where they are.Use all eyes to find them. CCTV, laptop, HP, Ipad, whatever. Once I see their markings, I want commanders to deploy a company or even a battalion to encircle it.” Colonel Ivan's orders in a resentful tone.

The operators do whatever they are told, as soon as they do facial identification tracking on all cameras in the country. With the help of GRU technology they have wider access.

The commanders of the joint forces also had no other word but to agree. Colonel Ivan looked even more terrible when he was upset, they did not dare to mess around.

“Pacify yourself Colonel, you've done the job you can.” A familiar voice to all of them.

“Pak President??...I'm sorry Pak” said Colonel Ivan rather surprised.

“Do your duty calmly and carefully, all we face are the best ex-soldiers of Kopassus, who even a year ago they were able to kidnap my Son very easily. Of course it is very difficult to face them, never take it lightly.” Said the President to all commanders

“Each Mr. President” Answer them simultaneously.

“Shinta where?” The president's whisper to Colonel Ivan.

“We don't know where he is Sir, I think he is chasing Arman” replied Colonel Ivan doubtful.

“I'm also sure that he's trying to save Arman. Now do your job” said the President calmly, then he went back into his room.

In his room, Mr. President could never sit quietly. He always looked out the window. Lying that he could still calm down while his son was being kidnapped, he just didn't want to make things worse.

Where are you, son? Are you all right? Mr. President's mind is shrouded in unparalleled anxiety.

Arinda suddenly stops Humvee, but the atmosphere around is still a wilderness.

“Not yet, the location is about 400 meters ahead there. It is safer if we just walk” replied Arinda.

It turned out to be true, from a distance it looks like a pretty magnificent house. But it's so strange there's only one house in the middle of a forest like this. Although there were only 4 guards, they both chose to keep monitoring from the outside, until the enemy party actually arrived there.

“You're sure they'll be here?” Shinta asked starting to doubt.

“Of course, we cut almost half their trip, so it's natural that they haven't arrived”

There was no other choice for Shinta but to believe. A few minutes later, Arinda's words were confirmed. The two of them rushed in through the back of the house.

“Wear this...” Arinda said while thrusting a glove-like object.

Shinta accepted it, but still did not understand what it was for.

“Climber gloves, you can easily climb this wall. And also equipped Taser or electric shock” said Arinda explained.

Shinta also wears it, and it turns out that it is true that she can climb faster. In an instant the two of them were already in the backyard of the house.

“It looks like they will be leaving” Shinta said as he pointed at a helicopter parked on the helipad.

“Alright, I will sabotage the electricity and overcome the guards outside, you go in and find Arman”

Shinta nodded in agreement, which was where the two of them split up to do their respective tasks.

Arman sat with his hands still tied, in a room that was not too spacious but many computers and radios there. Arman figured this was a room for strategizing, he'd seen it in movies.

An enemy soldier has been busy working on his computer ever since they arrived. They seemed busy with the scanning results of the documents.

“It takes how many minutes to crack the encryption?” Ask Alex.

“About 5 minutes Commander”

“Do as soon as possible, and connect me with our client” Alex's orders while wearing his headset.

Arman tried to eavesdrop on the conversation, but it seemed impossible.

“How?” Ask the voice from the radio

“We have got the plan. And we want to pay more for this task.” Said Alex.

“More offers you say? You guys really don't know yourself. You guys also almost harmed my best agent”

“Do you think I'm stupid? Where possible such archives only keep one project only. Or you prefer that various other bloody projects we expose so that

world knows? I am sure the Indonesian government will also be happy to know.” Threaten Alex with ease.

“Alright, how much do you want?”

“We want to be raised to 3 times” Alex replied.

“Oke, I'll call you back later. We met at the usual place” Then the connection was disconnected.

Alex took off his headset, but he was still focused on the screen of the monitor which still showed the process of breaking encryption.

“I want to go to toilet” Arman said later.

Alex just glanced at him and was silent for a moment.

“Alright your time is two minutes, after which we should hurry away.” Answer Alex.

Arman walks to the toilet with an enemy soldier to keep him from messing around. He stopped his steps right in front of the toilet door.

“Don't say om also want to come in, I'm not used to go to the toilet rame-rame” said Arman

The enemy soldier was speechless staring at Arman sharply,

“So fast” His reply was upset.

Right after the toilet door closed, Arman rushed to find a way out inside there. But it seemed to be nil, there was no other hole other than the ventilation hole, even it was coated with an iron frame.

“Sial, no way out. Yes my time through the toilet pit sih” Gerutu Arman.

Time goes on, maybe soon the enemy will be suspicious.

Bruck…

Suddenly there was a noise from outside the toilet, the atmosphere became silent for a moment.

“There is no other option” muttered Arman while grabbing objects to hit.

ceklekk….

The door opened and Arman attacked him. He wished he could beat the man unconscious, so he had a chance to escape.

But suddenly a strong grip caught his hand unable to move. He managed to stop Arman's attack.

“We just met and you want to hit me with a dipper?” Ask someone who is sorely missed by Arman.

“Shinta?....Well, I'm kirain lo one of them.” Arman was surprised

“Ssssttt. We need to get out of here. Where are they?” Ask Shinta.

“In the room across there..Where's arinda?”

“While cleaning the one outside, let's hurry” Invite Shinta while dragging Arman's hand.

“Iya slowly..Your hands are hard like robot” Gerutu Arman.
