At last...

The one who snatched Dani into action without making a sound. Dani did not shout at all when ambushed by him.

That's why no one else hears anything. The boy thrashed.

He had difficulty breathing, as his face was immersed in soft ground.

Quickly the person who had taken him down turned Dani's body around. His mouth was gagged with a handkerchief.

He knows his wrist is tied. What really happened? Could Dani be suspected of Rill State? It can't be because

The ambush must have known that Rill was a big tall man!

Dani thrashed and wriggled on. He tried to get rid of the soil

Which goes into the mouth. But it's futile. The one who subdues him is stronger. And

Apparently not pitying!

Dani was held up, then taken to a resort cabin. Everything went on without a storm

“And now,” hiss the unknown man was near Dani's ear,

“How many people are here? Let's say, if you don't want to regret later. Snort twice if you are not Alone.”

Dani did nothing. He was worried, not knowing whether to snort or not.

He groaned because his mouth was still full of soil. And the ground doesn't taste good!

The one who curled him up fumbled all over his body. Then the man took out

A small flashlight, then glimpsed it at a glance to the face of Dani whose mouth

Tied handkerchief. The man saw the crest of the boy. Heard her breathing flinch

“Dani! Apparently You! What are you looking for, these nights hanging around outside?”

Dani was shocked, but at the same time felt relieved. He recognized that voice. That's Rill!

Forgetting a mouth full of soil. He was trying to talk.

“Do not make a fuss,” whispered Rill while releasing the handkerchief that clogged Dani's mouth.

“Maybe there's someone else around here. If there's anything you're gonna say, then,

Whisper it into my ear.”

Dani brought her mouth closer to Rill State's ear, then whispered.

“Rill,” whispered, “tadi I saw someone hiding in a bush, near the front gate of our yard.

I then sneaked outside, because I want to tell You to be careful.”

Rill opened the strap that tied Dani's wrist. The boy rubbed it,

Because it feels a little bit painful. He did not doubt a bit, Rill turned out to be good if asked

Binding people. Fortunately, he was not beaten until he collapsed.

“The back door of the house is unlocked,” whispered Dani again. “ Since I came out anyway, No one's been lurking behind. Yuk, we're trying to sneak into the house. There we can talk more freely.”

The two quietly headed to the hole in the middle of the bush fence, where Dani had infiltrated to enter the garden.

Both do not walk on the rocks. They are worried, lest the sound of pebbles will attract the attention of scouts who hide if there is indeed someone lurking.

The two infiltrate through the hole, into the garden of the Am family home. Dani guides Rill,

lead him in a dark garden under the shadow of a tree,

walk towards home. There was no bright light at all.

Mom is sleeping apparently

The back door of the house is still unlocked. Dani carefully opened it.

Then they both come in.

"Don't turn on the lights" whispered Rill. "Let no one know that there are people here who have not slept. I'll just lock this door."

Both of them crept up the stairs of the house, heading to the upper level. Suddenly one of the stairs rattled when stepped on.

Jaki who was waiting in the bedroom darted to the door when she heard that sound.

Fortunately, he did not turn on the lights!

"Let's just calm that I'm coming" whispered Dani. "And Rill!"

"Great!" jaki said happily, then invited the two people who came into the room.

Rill greeted Jaki warmly. He loved the whole house.

"I need to gargle for a while, because my mouth is still full of soil" Dani said. "I didn't dare spit it in the garden for fear of being heard. Uhh it tastes bitter!"

"Pity," said Rill regretfully, "but I didn't think at all

you're the one I ambushed, Dani. I thought someone was stalking me. I was determined to subdue him before I was the first to be snared"

"And it turns out you did it" Dani said as she gargled. Where's my toothpaste? I need to brush my teeth .... Ah, shit!"

The glass rolled over, then fell into the tub. It sounded when it broke apart sounding loud in the middle of a quiet night.

"Try checking if Dinah and Desi are awake. If so, tell them not to turn on the lights" Rill told Jaki.

"Quick! And all at once

see if Auntie Am is awake. It also needs to be told!"

Desi wakes up hearing the sound of a glass breaking. Jaki is too late

forbid him to turn on the lights. Aunt Am sleeps on.

His room was far away, and he heard nothing. Desi was astonished to hear Jaki whispering.

"What's wrong?" ask the girl. "You're sick, huh? Or Dani?"

"Of course not" Jaki said in a soft voice. "Come on, get dressed, and

wake Dinah. Rill is coming! But we can't turn on the lights. Understood?"

Suddenly something struck near his head while making a loud but slow sound.

Ah here you are apparently, clumsy! I was looking for you earlier," said Jaki "Why are you sleeping in the girls' room tonight? Come on, come with me Rill's here!"

Desi rushes to wake Dinah. Dani's sister didn't understand at first.

But then he rushes to get dressed, then goes to Jaki and Dani's room.

The clumsiness was already there. The parrot pinched Rill State's ears while babbling in a soft voice.

Rill immediately greeted when Dinah and Desi appeared while sneaking around.

"I can only feel that you're coming" he said. "Ah, this must be Desi, because

smelled by me the trunk of your nose."

"There may be a nose that can smell" Desi said. He's suffocating. "But you're right, it's me!

Where have you not appeared all this time, Rill? Our letters none of you reply."

"I know," said Rill. "So it's like this a while ago I got the job of tracking down a gang of criminals. But you know they kissed my secret stunt

and before I could act, I was the one they were after! So now that I'm forced to hide, don't let them find me!".

"Why if they succeed? Are you gonna get kidnapped, or how?" ask Desi scared.

"I can't tell you what they'll do to me if I fall into their hands" Rill said casually.

"I think I'll be eliminated

in perpetuity. But the truth is I'm here now!"

"So for that apparently the man was waiting near the front gate he hoped would be able to

ambush you there," said Dani. "But why are you here now, Rill? Anything you want to tell us maybe?" _

"Look," said Rill. "For a while I had to disappear, and I came here especially

because I want to meet your mother. I want to ask him to keep some of my things because who knows maybe, well maybe I will disappear later

in perpetuity. Right now I'm very dangerous to the horde I'm investigating. I know too many of their secrets."

"Well, where are you going now, Rill?" luh Desi's. "It doesn't feel good to imagine you disappearing without a trace. Can't you tell me where it went?"

"Well, for the time being I'd better stay in one of those secluded places and

live quietly there," said Rill.

"I wait until the gang of criminals are no longer looking for me or until they are caught! Don't you think I disappeared for fear. Absolutely not! I'm not afraid of the herd

that villain. But my superiors assume the risk is too great if I fall into the hands of criminals. So I was asked to disappear for some time.

I'm even forbidden to have any contact with you, or with my own family."

For a long time no one spoke. Everyone felt uneasy hearing the words of Rill, who was spoken softly in the darkness of the night.

Desi touches Rill's hand.

"You don't have to feel sad" Rill said. "Sometimes you will hear

more news from me next year, or maybe even a year later.

I'll disguise myself as a miner in the wild of Eastern Borneo or as a bird watcher living alone on one of these remote islands or..."

Jaki's breath was jolted. Apparently the kid just got a great idea.

"Rill! Well, Rill-just thought of something great by me!"

"Shhh! Don't be so loud" said Rill. "And please move the clumsiness over your shoulder, before my left earlobe is bitten by it."

"Look, Rill," said Jaki excitedly.
