The orange light is now sinking, the orange light is refracted across the street behind the gaps in the leaves. The dark night shrouded in mist between the several streets of the alley. The building still looks twilight with unmoving loneliness.
Brack!
"Back off!!!" The scream came from someone in black robes. Jebran's figure began to appear in the building. Dilan who sat weakly stared in shock when the three managed to follow him.
"Jebran?" Dylan said slowly.
Mehmed and his ten men gave Dilan a suspicious and angry look. Deftly, Mehmed grabs Dilan's body to become his main hostage. However, where is Riffat? Everyone was suspicious and worried.
Jebran kept pointing the gun at Mehmed and his troops with a sly smile. His steps occasionally advanced without worry or fear.
"Don't come any closer! I'll shoot this kid," Mehmed snapped, hugging Dilan.
Look at him! Dilan is now trapped in a death net. His mind tried to play wits, but cold sweat wracked him in one fell swoop.
If one of Dilan's arms or legs was against Mehmed, surely he would be safe in no time. Once released, he will be shot dead by the troops surrounding him.
Now the tension is getting to him one by one. Mehmed took a step back when he saw that Jebran wasn't afraid to back down. This man is indeed reckless and brave, his body is already wrapped in firearms and eternal protection so as not to be injured when shot.
"Let him go! Or I will shoot your men one by one," Jebran attacked.
"How dare!" Mehmed growled.
"Shoot!" Mehmed shouted.
Dorr!!
Dorr!!
Dorr!!!
The gunshots rushed towards Jebran. Swiftly and deftly, Jebran and his two companions rolled to the side so as not to hit the head or legs. The three men ended up hiding behind the walls of the room.
Meanwhile, Mehmed and his men are now running backwards into the room.
Jebran started firing shots at the people who had entered.
Dorr!!
Dorr!
Ah!
Ah!
Three people were shot and fell in front of the door. Now, there is still a way to win against Mehmed and his army. However, Jebran looked for a loophole to help Dilan in his spare time.
"Where's Andy?" Jebran asked.
"I think he found an underground hideout," one of the men said beside him.
"We have to come up with some tactics, just a minute!" Jebran suggested.
Looking for ease in the dark of night, this is like looking for a needle in a haystack. However, you still find what you want.

I was walking between cities when I finished gathering some data. Suddenly my phone vibrated in my pocket.
Drrrtt!
Drrrtt!
I quickly reached into my pocket and grabbed it. "Fredy?" I said then picked up the incoming call.
"Hello," I said.
"Where are you?" he asked.
"I'm in front of the city fountain," I said.
"Wait for me there!" The voice stopped, before I could answer no or yes. Looks like Fredi has news about someone, that's what I think from now on.
"There must be something important?" I thought.
I was looking for a place to sit while waiting for Fredi to meet me. Watching the fountain go down feels as if the heart is calmer and walking. My thoughts are like flowing water, never stopping. My brain works almost twenty-four hours. Why not? If sleep is a brain rest, but dreams are part of the half-real mind. We run in dreams, we travel in dreams. I think this has a lot to do with the thoughts in my brain.
Five minutes passed, I swung my arms back and forth simultaneously. I didn't feel people walking behind me. Vehicles are too noisy on the streets, making me a little distracted looking for someone.
"Emira!" someone shouted at me.
I was looking for it, it turns out from the left side running towards me. It was Fredi waving his hand.
I replied. "Hey!" I raised my hand.
"I have something to show you," he said.
"What?" I asked.
"Better not here, let's just go to my car," he said.
"Yes alright." I followed Fredi's steps to his car. I looked left and right so as not to be so suspicious of others.
"What is it?" I asked in the car with him.
"Uncle Jaki, do you know him?" Freddy asked.
"At that time, we were still in junior high school. He always followed us to the house, which turned out to be a member of your father," said Fredi.
"Then what's with him?" I asked curiously.
"We have arrested her for the woman's murder, her name is Anggi Puspita Kencana. The woman may know you, but she has lived in Jakarta for a long time. Do you remember the girl who always came to school in the past?"
"That's how he fell in love with Dilan," said Fredi.
Suddenly I gaped at Fredi's story which made my mouth gape wide. Isn't this a coincidence? But, how come I don't know him? In my heart, 'am I sinning?'
"Why didn't I recognize him?" I said doubtfully.
"You may not remember her very much. But, I remember the woman very well when I saw her real bio."
"It's just that I forgot to tell you," Fredi said.
"Dilan, is he okay?" I asked suddenly.
"So what?" Fredi frowned as he looked seriously at my worried expression.
"He saved his sister alone, help him!" I asked.
"Then I will take you home first, then I will ask for help," suggested Fredi.
"No, I have to come with you! My father wants me not him," I said.
"But, this is very dangerous!" stop Freddy.
I put on a sad face, maybe Fredi will invite me this time. However, the task was overburdened when I followed him. To me, my father would not be a danger to me.
"Please!"
Fredi scratched the back of his head, but this behavior didn't look like he liked it. However, he didn't know whether to refuse or not.
"Okay," he said simply.
My eyes flashed at the road we were about to take. On the one hand, my worries are deep. Today I am very fragile and lost my way. My father will definitely be caught today, I'm sure!
However, his cunning wits are often smooth in his escape. Mafia like that, will surely disappear as if swallowed by the earth.
***
We arrived at an empty warehouse gate. Fredi and I were amazed when we saw the crowd and even the sound of sirens buzzing in my ears. What happened? My eyes wandered along the streets, and my eyes searched for some people I knew.
The ambulance arrived carrying people.
I ran into the warehouse screaming, calling names. "Dylan!!!" I stopped at the side of the door that stood a man I knew very well.
"Jebran," I said.
He looked at me with a sad face. With all my curiosity I ran towards him. Seeing the face of a man who was almost covered in blood. I entered, but was blocked by Jebran by hugging me and preventing me from entering.
"Huh! Where's Dilan?!" I shouted at him.
"He's fine," said Jebran.
I saw Dilan's face, his body was covered in blood when the medical personnel were about to take him.
"Aaaa!!"
"Dylan!!!" I screamed.
I rebelled and released Jebran's embrace on my body. I grabbed Dilan's body which really scared me.
The blood almost killed him, but I can still hear his voice clearly.
"E-Emira," he said.
"No, no... you can't die!!" I screamed.
