Crotone, Italy
A red Ferrari 458 Speciale Armor is speeding along the waterfront.
The modified car had three people in it.
The three of them had just visited a – 16th century castle to be able to find the person named Lucca Valentino they were looking for. After scrunching up a few places about the existence of the mysterious man.
“So Viterbo will be our last hope to find him. (So Viterbo will be our hope to be able to find him ).”
“Yup!.”
“Crazy! He's really – really demon! It's hard to find. Still mending Jelangkung if you want to come can be picked up home tell naek Ojol!.”
Fania grumbled, Michelle and Vla giggled.
“Just like we told you, he’s a ghost! People are able to meet or see him only if he wants to. (As we said, he's a ghost!. New people can meet or see it only if he himself wants ).”
“But as a rich and powerful person in this country, surely there are – people who have met him, right?. We can find out through them.”
“Everyone here must be know who is Lucca Valentino and his character. When Lucca says No, means No. (Everyone here knows Lucca Valentino and his habits. When he says No, it means No ). I bet they don’t want take any risk connected with that man. (I bet they don't want to take any risks related to the man – the man ).”
“More or less the same with Brother Andrew and our other men then. Irrefutable!. (Cannot be denied! ).”
Michelle commented.
“I heard Lucca is more creepy than your men, even more creepy than Andrew or R when he felt like or mad. (I heard Lucca is creepier than your – guy guy, even creepier than Andrew or R when he feels unhappy or angry ).” Vla said behind the wheel.

Viterbo, Italy
The red Ferrari 458 Speciale Armor is now in the middle of Italy. Walking down the straight streets that are so quiet in the night. Replacing Fania who is now behind the wheel and Vla beside her, Michelle who looks exhausted is still in the rear passenger seat.
“What kind of man who lives in this creepy place?. (What kind of person lives in a creepy place like this). This road seems to have no end!. (This road is like endless ).”
“But if I'm not mistaken, up ahead is a beautiful vineyard. The best in Italy.”
Fania mangosteen – mangosteen.
“We almost there. (We're almost to ).” Vla pointed to a Mansion that stood firmly in their current sight. Fania turned off the engine of the car she was driving at a fraction of the distance from the Mansion they were looking at.
“I think, that guy named Lucca is here.” Said Michelle who had been advancing her body between Fania and Vla in the car.
“What makes you sure, Chel?.”
“See those guards! The guard here is tighter and more numerous than at Crotone. In fact they hold M4 Carbine!.” Said Michelle who showed an advanced firearm held by several people standing guard in front of the Mansion's gate.
“You Right, Michelle ma Belle. (You're right, Michelle ma Belle ).” Vla Sahut. “It’s quiet risky. (It's a little risky ).”
Vla looked at Fania and Michelle.
Then the two women looked at each other.
“Are we going to waste – so far, Mrs Michelle Finn Smith?.”
“Absolutely No Mrs. Andrew Smith's... (Of course Not Mrs Andrew Smith )..”.
Fania and Michelle looked at Vla.
“Are you coming in? Or want to get out here, Vla?. (Want to come? Or get down here, Vla? ).” Fania Ledek.
“Well, I’m a man who can’t resist women’s will!. (well, I'm a man who can't resist a woman's wishes! ).”
Vladimir spoke with a smile with a funny expression like a resigned person.
The three of them then chuckled and Fania started the car engine again and drove slowly towards a Mansion that stood firmly on a small hill, passing through the wineries that spread very widely and about – about an area of up to ten hectares.
Vla glanced at the two women who were with her. Amazed at the two formidable women of the Adjieran Smith Clan who were undaunted and seemed to have little fear.

“Let me!. (Let me! ).” Michelle said as the car driven by Fania was already in front of the Mansion they were heading to. Michelle volunteered because she was fluent in Italian.
Vla and Fania nodded.
Then Michelle got out of the car after three large, fierce-looking men stalled their car decisively.
Not long after Michelle was back in the car.
“They warned us to go from here as soon as possible. (They told us to get out of here as soon as possible). They didn't even give me a chance to introduce myself and explain our purpose here .” Michelle said with a tone.
“Means that – male is indeed here!.”
The three of them were slightly stunned by the pounding on the hood of the car. And the man who banged on the hood of their car was coding seriously that they should leave immediately.
“Kak Fania want what?!.”
“We have to meet Lucca anyway, Chel!.”
Fania had already removed her seatbelt and rushed down, but Michelle had grabbed him quickly. “They threaten to shoot, if we kind of – like Kak Fania!.”
Michelle said frantically, as well as Vla's face who also felt anxious if Fania got out of the car.
“Better we leave, Fania. (We'd better go, Fania ).”
“Not before I meet that man ... (Not before I met the guy ).” Fania. “Take the wheel, Vla. You both stay in the car (Hold Vla, you two stay in car ). If anything bad happened to me, just drive the car as fast as you can. (If something bad happens to me, drive the car as fast as you can ).”
“But Fania!. (But Fania! ).”
“Kak Fania!.” Vla and Michelle alike – similarly exclaimed, but Fania had already hunted down from the car.
‘Which I want to know only about you, D ... however, whatever the risk....’.
Fania.
As Michelle said that the guards of the Mansion had warned the three of them to leave immediately. Just as Fania was descending, the guards immediately pointed guns at her. Fania raised both her hands while standing right next to the car.
“I just want to meet Mister Lucca! (I just want to meet Mr. Lucca! ).” Fania exclaims to the – people who pointed a gun at her. Vla and Michelle also got out of the car. Michelle translated Fania's words to the guards who pointed guns at them.
“......”
“Better we go, Brother!.”
“Engga Chel, I must know what happened to my husband ... brother – my brother... Dad...”
“But Brother ...”
“I Nero Fuoco!.” Fania took a serious look at one of the guards in front of her and pointed a firearm at Fania's head.
“Kak Fania said what?.”
“Tell them the message for Lucca, Chel!...” Fania told Michelle. “I Nero Fuoco!.” He said again and Michelle also said what Fania said in Italian to the – people who were pointing guns at them. One of them then spoke on a communication device.
“You! (You! ). Move! (Way! ).” The man who pointed his gun at Fania spoke in English while moving his hand without lowering the weapon he was holding, for Fania to start walking according to his instructions.
“You wait here. Just like what I said, go as far as you can (As I said, Go as far as you can ) from here, if you hear or see something that is not right.” Fania whispered to Vla and Michelle while still raising her hand, then she started walking at gunpoint from two people towards
the building that was still a little bit far from where it stood now.
‘Please protect her, God.. (Please protect him, Lord.... )’ Vladimir and Michelle prayed in their hearts with terrified faces to see Fania who had walked in towards the Mansion.
Vladimir and Michelle are not allowed to join Fania. They are also guarded by several other gunmen. With guns pointed at Vladimir and Michelle.

“Just Walk! Don’t make any suspicious move or we will shoot you with no hesitation! .... (Way! Don't make any suspicious moves or we won't hesitate to shoot you ).”
Two other men armed with fire came and were also on standby with their guns pointed at Fania.
Fania nodded. He walked slowly, with fear, plus his body felt less good, because maybe his condition was down due to too tired and too much thinking.
‘If my ‘time’ runs out here is okay. I've walked as far as I can just to meet you, D.... just to know how you are...’.
Fania smiled faintly.
“Stop!.” The English-speaking man eloquently told Fania to stop. “Don’t move and get down! (Don't move and get on your knees! ).” His orders were firm and cold on Fania.
Fania followed what the man told her. Fania was still on the road not yet reaching the Mansion.
“Said what you have said at the gate!. (Tell me what you said at the gate! ).”
The fluent English-speaking man who had previously spoken to Fania said again as his hand held onto Fania's nape, forcing her to bow down.
Until a pair of feet with leather shoes that look so expensive, seen when he was forced to look down.
“I.... I Nero's .... Fuoco ..” Fania said slowly and half stammeredly.
“How do you know that? (How did you know that? ).”
The voice of an even colder and domineering man was heard asking in Fania's ear.
“I .... (I ... ) ...”
“Better you have a good explanation or your brain will be on my shoes (You better have a good explanation or your brain will be in my shoes ).” Said the man without telling his men to raise Fania's face.
Fania took a sip of her saliva after the cold and domineering man spoke, moreover the weapon that had been a distance away, had now been stuck one behind his head.
Fear approached Fania, but she remained resigned. If the man does not accept his explanation or turns out he came to the wrong person, let it be, Fania willing and resigned.
“I .... I just want to meet Lucca Valentino .. and ask about my brothers, my Dad, and my husband ..... (I ... I just want to meet Lucca Valentino.. and ask about my brother –.... My father, and my husband .... ).”
Fania said stammered, quietly and her voice was a little raucous because her eyes were already glazed – glass.
‘Hopefully we can meet again, D ..’
Fania closed her eyes.
“If you are him, Lucca Valentino ... (If you were him, Lucca Valentino ).” Fania ventured to raise her head and looked at the man in front of her, even with a slightly blurry look, as her tears began to block her view. “Please tell me .. if you know where my husband is ... (Please tell me ... if you know where my husband is )..”.
Fania started sobbing.
“Because you.. are my last hope... (Because you .. are my last hope ... ) ..... Lucca ..”
Fania's shoulders were already shaking, her body was almost empty. Between fear and sadness and tired and tired of looking for answers and light, about Andrew and the others, and it felt like his body began to feel boneless, even the knees he supported also trembled.
The journey was so long, this place and the man named Lucca were his last hope. If not .. after, what happens, happens.
‘How do I miss you, D ... Even at the end of death all I see is you..’.
Fania smiled bitterly, Andrew's shadow faint – faint and far away there fertilized her eyes. Until it all feels dark.
