The Winter Promise

The Winter Promise
Chapter 112: The Fourth Part of the Rescue Mission.



Right now, Riki and I are hiding behind a container that is inside a very large warehouse. There are a lot of containers that are rusted and no longer used.


“Are we going to wait here for a while?”


Riki asked me who was peeping to listen to Akbar's father talk with someone he was calling.


“Iya, I want to listen to what they are talking about first. So for now you shut up for a minute.”


“What Maul is still a long time to arrive here?”


Riki asked back.


“I haven't contacted Maul yet.”


“Come contact Maul Mar, it looks like the person who wants to buy will come soon.”


Riki looks worried again, usually if he is like this he will start to find it difficult to listen to my words.


“Better we shut up first, and listen to their talk.”


We both kept quiet and began to pair our ears to listen carefully to their conversation.


“I've brought my son along with me and it's ready to be taken... Did you bring the money?”


Then after asking that, his father Akbar sounded very happy. Even he did not feel sorry to see his son who was currently unconscious.


What did he use to make his son unconscious? Did he use some kind of sleeping drug for that?


It could have been.


If indeed he was using sleeping pills, surely the dose was so high that it made him unconscious like that.


“What will we do now Mar?”


“We just wait.”


“Boring once.”


Riley started complaining.


“Currently, waiting is the best step for us to do. If we make a mistake, this plan could fail Rik.”


“But I'm so bored Mar!”


His childish nature Riki had already started to come out.


What should I say to him at a time like this. It was troublesome if he was already like this.


“You have to hold him Rik, you promised me not to act alone at a time like this.”


I reminded that of Riki.


“Then what is the next step to prevent buyers from coming here?”


“We will let the seller come and do his transaction here.”


“After that?”


“We will try to detain them until the police come here.”


Because if we had prevented it before the police came, it would have been a golden opportunity. If the buyer is arrested, at least the police have more information about the kidnapping case.


In addition, I also want to prove whether human sales really exist or not. Because as long as it's a case of human sales, it's just my estimate. Although Maul said that his father also thought about selling people. If I haven't heard it myself, I still don't believe it.


“Alright, I will try to follow what you say.”


Riki calmed down again and we kept an eye on his father Akbar.


A short time later, a man appeared carrying two suitcases in both hands. One was the size of a very large one that he carried in his right hand and the other was the size of a small one that he carried in his left hand.


I looked around as the man approached his father Akbar. I didn't see anyone else coming with him.


I wonder if he's actually setting people up outside or if he's coming alone.


If if he had come alone, maybe me and Riki could have handled it. But the problem is different if someone else comes with him, let alone him bringing a guard of his own, I don't think Riki will be able to fight him either.


“What's in a suitcase that big?”


Riki's gaze began to focus on the newly arrived man.


“I think the big suitcase is empty, while the small one contains money that will be given to his father Akbar.”


Because I used to see that little suitcase on the surprise money show that was on television.


“Create what he brings empty suitcase Mar?”


“It is possible to put his sister Akbar in there.”


Hearing that made Riki very surprised.


“Bring people!?”


“I've seen in one of the action movies, there was a criminal who put the body of his victim into a suitcase that big before he dumped it in a place that could not be detected by the police.”


If it's not wrong I watched the movie when I went to the cinema with Miyuki at Junior High.


“Indeed the person put in the suitcase did not die from suffocation?”


“They can still breathe although very minimal.”


Even though I don't know what it's like to breathe in a sealed suitcase.


“I pity his sister Akbar.”


“For now never act alone no matter what.”


I emphasized that to Riki, because I had a feeling that the events that would happen in the future would make Riki's emotions become unstable made.


“Why Mar? It's not that we should act as soon as possible.”


“I want to dig up information about this kidnapping and human trafficking, if there is enough valuable information such as the location of the auction, it is enough for me and we can immediately secure them both.”


I don't know if we can handle them or not. I don't know if they're carrying guns either.


“I don't know if I can hold it or not.”


Riki began to doubt about it, his confidence began to disappear bit by bit.


“You should be able to hold it.”


“I can't see anything like that happening in front of me Mar, let alone I also have a sister.”


“I know how it feels, I also have a sister and my sister is a girl. So for now stop arguing first Rik. I need more focus to listen to what they're talking about.”


Huh! My emotions started to rise just because of Riki's nature.


“Alright, I'll try it.”


The man began to approach his father Akbar and the two of them began to shake hands.


“This is my son who I told you back then.”


His father Akbar showed his daughter to the man.


“Not bad, maybe this child will sell at a fairly high price.”


The man began to look at his younger brother Akbar all over the body.


“It's money that time promised.”


The man gave a small suitcase to his father Akbar, and his father Akbar was very happy to hear it.


“I want to check it first.”


His father Akbar opened the suitcase and found a lot of money.


“FINALLY I'M RICH!!!”


His father Akbar took some of the money that was in the suitcase and lifted it up high.


I can't see how much money Akbar's father earned because my views were blocked by Akbar's own father.


I saw the man begin to bind his sister Akbar's body and cover his mouth with a cloth.


“You helped me put this kid in a suitcase.”


The man asked his father Akbar for help.


“Good!”


His father Akbar opened the large suitcase and they prepared to put his sister Akbar in the suitcase.


“I can't just be quiet when I see something like this.”


Without further ado, Riki immediately ran over to prevent that.


The man and his father Akbar were surprised to see Riki emerging from behind the container.


You fucking guy! He acted alone again. If it's like this, I don't want to re-create my plan.


The man and his father Akbar kept their distance and became wary of Riki.


I also got an incoming call from Maul.


“What's Mul? Right now I am in a very precarious position because there are fools who act at will.”


“I've met his father Akbar and also a person who wants to buy his sister Akbar.”


I still saw Riki trying to talk first with the two people. I saw the man was very upset with his father Akbar because he let others know his place of transaction.


Judging from his reaction, it seemed like the man had come here alone. It was extremely careless for someone who was already an expert at this.


“That's good, you have to hold them until I come Mar.”


“Riki already did it?”


“Hah? What exactly happened there?”


Maul became confused and curious about it.


“Right now I don't have time to explain it to you, I'll explain it when you get here.”


“Whatever happens hold them both Mar, this can be valuable information.”


I know it too, Mul, take it easy. Had Riki not acted alone, perhaps this plan was much smoother.


“I'll do as I can.”


I hung up the phone from Maul and started listening to the three of them.


“What are you doing here?!”


His father Akbar looks panicked to see the appearance of Riki is very sudden.


“You have violated our agreement, you have allowed others to follow you and know the place of our transaction.”


The buyer was very angry with his father Akbar. The buyer released his younger brother Akbar and walked over to his father Akbar.


“I have absolutely no idea who that child is.”


His father Akbar already knew that the buyer was trying to ask for his money back. He held the small suitcase tightly with both hands.


“Restore the money!”


The buyer forced his father Akbar to return the money.


“No.”


His father Akbar remained reluctant to give it.


There was a dispute between the two of you, Riki also did not dare to approach his sister Akbar at this time because of the distance that was quite far from him.


“Look, how about we kill this kid here and we hide his body here. No one will ever know that there was a murder here and a dead body.”


Akbar's father offered the buyer a choice.


“I don't want to dirty my hands. If you want to do that, do it yourself.”


Look Rik, you are currently in a very precarious position. Your life here is very much at stake.


His father Akbar put down his suitcase and pulled out the knife he had hidden from behind his jacket. He started walking to approach Riki.


The knife has been confirmed.


The only problem is that I don't know if the buyer carries a gun or not. If I go out and help Riki, it will be very dangerous for both of us. No, his brother Akbar is also dangerous because he could have been taken hostage.


I looked around the room and saw if there was anything I could do to prolong this, but my position was unknown to anyone.


But there's nothing I can use to prolong this.


I looked back at them and Riki started fighting with his father Akbar.


His father Akbar tries to stab Riki with his knife but Riki easily avoids it.


He also grabbed his father's hand Akbar firmly which made the knife held by him fall and Riki immediately kicked the knife far back precisely to near me.


I took the knife for self-protection, who knows what it takes.


Riki instantly locked Akbar's father's hand and made him unable to move.


“Can you give up and leave this place?”


Riki tried to negotiate even though he never did.


The man smiled looking at his father Akbar who was defeated by Riki.


“Just a little boy you lost, indeed you are unreliable.”


His father Akbar was completely speechless as he endured the pain from the hand locked by Riki.


Indeed the lock from Riki is very strong and painful, if you try to break away just a little, it can make your hand broken.


“There's no way I'll let go of an expensive item like this. If it's auctioned later, it might cost twice what I've been spending at the moment. Anyway if I can't bring it, I can be scolded later.”


Scolded? He was hired by someone to do this.


I looked at the entrance and no one else entered.


That's in accordance with my guess.


Supposedly if he had brought guards with him at a time like this, his guards should have already entered to secure Riki.


Then I shouldn't be afraid to move forward. The problem now was the weapon he was carrying.


“I won't let you get away from here easily!”


Threatening Riki to that buyer, his eyes were currently looking very serious.


“What can you do exactly?”


The buyer looked down on Riki. He did not feel any threat from Riki's presence.


“Against two people at once is very easy for me.”


Oi-oi-oi... It should be at a time like this that you don't need to provoke Rik's emotions. Right now who's in real danger you.


Then my attention was focused on a shape found in the man's jacket. From the shape I could tell it was a gun.


It turned out that he had been hiding a gun behind his jacket. If it was like this, Riki would be in danger.


Indeed he could dodge the knife easily, but not a bullet released from a gun.


I immediately looked for a detour to approach the man without knowing.


I am grateful that there are so many containers I can use to hide while I try to get close to the man.


Hang on Rik, I will definitely save you this time.


“You can leave here safely if you want.”


The man offered an offer to Riki.


“Better I go from here with a wound than I go home safe but have a sense of regret.”


What you just said is really cool, Rik, but it's really stupid at times like this.


I was still trying to get close to the man, and right now my distance to him was very close and I was behind him at this moment. Just wait for the right time until I can pounce on him from behind.


“You turned out to be a reckless child ya.”


“I'm sick of what you guys are doing.”


“The sense of justice in you is immense, but this world is not as beautiful as you think young people are. The world is too rotten for a saint like you.”


The man began to hold the handle of his pistol which was still hidden behind his jacket.


I don't know if Riki has noticed it or not,


“The world is rotten because many people like you!”


“For the size of a teenager, you are quite brave also yes.”


“I'm used to it in this condition.”


“I acknowledge your courage young man.”


The man starts pointing his gun at Riki with his right hand and Riki is not surprised at all. Then he also realized that the man was carrying a gun in his jacket.


Then why are you so close, he's a monster.


“It seems like today you are very unlucky, if you were to be nice and leave here, maybe you could still have fun with your friends.”


“Heee... I think today you are very unlucky because you have to meet us.”


“What!?”


I immediately pounced on him from behind and hit the man's right hand with the handle of the knife I was currently carrying and made the gun fall.


Then I pointed the knife I was holding towards his neck as if I wanted to slaughter him at this moment.


“You were so long Mar.”


Riki smiled at me.


“You're troubling me Rik.”
