"What honor, until I have a special guest like you, Jero... do you miss... ah, but you're with another girl... so you don't miss me, hmmm?" asked Gio, Jero's ex-girlfriend who is now an important deputy at the embassy.
We are in Gio's special room, because of the deputy's high position.. she is too lazy to come down, the perks of being the leader.. Jero said at the time. Finally we are invited to go up and enter Gio's room.
"It's more complicated… she's even more complicated than being my lover. This is Diandra Roberts, Di..this is my ex-best friend, Gio.. or Gio Bunny…She likes to wear bunny costumes when we were together." Jero explained, I thrust my hand forward… shook Gio's hand who smiled kindly, while Jero smirked in satisfaction.
"He is really that weird, and what fate made you a part of his life now? Miss Diandra?"
"That's why Di and I are here, she is a woman who is being targeted by a man…whom..later I know, that he is a mafia. He's a mafia that has a lot of influence and wealth…"
"Wait… who? Who do you mean?"
"Brad Hollow."
Gio didn't seem surprised to hear that, she nodded slightly.
"So, Di, bound by a promise…not black and white actually. She is only at fundraising events for social causes, for a date one day… ah a dinner, just a dinner, in fact… Brad kidnapped her…and raped her several times…"
Gio gasped. Then She looked at me sympathetically.
"She managed to escape, for whatever reason, and she can meet her friends, Moreno and Ammy, who introduced us…asked me to be her bodyguard. I didn't think… Brad followed us everywhere… until I decided she moved from her former home, to a hotel. When I took her to the doctor for pregnancy prevention… we were chased home by Brad's subordinates… luckily my car is bulletproof… he shot at us, hiring a lot of snipers… you can see my car below.. I decided to come here, because of the laws of diplomacy… and… because I'm here, I need your help..."
"What? Visa to Italy for girls tonight? Sure..I'll take care of it in a moment."
"Both, plus make it also for Ammy and Moreno.. here's the document, please make it.. and make sure we get there safely."
"But how…!"
"Send one of your security… with us. While in Italy over there, and if that guy insists on putting up a fight... I want you to give me a few related acquaintances, so I can catch him. Because he is above the law here…"
"I see… I will do it, babe…" Gio immediately typed something on his computer, maybe he made us Visa.
"All done… then how are you going to get out of here? The plane?"
"Moreno..my friend arranged it, he thought someone lent us a private jet."
"Wow… rich bitch!" Gio muttered, "ah.. I'm sorry Di, you look like a nice person.. pardon my harsh words.. okay."
I just smiled a little and shook my head, feeling okay with everything.
"Good, do you want to eat first, babe…?"
"No Thanks… thank you… we've eaten, right Di… Besides, Moreno will be here soon."
Jero's words are true, soon there is a call from Moreno and Ammy, saying that they are on their way.
We finally descended the elevator back into the main room.
"Later, we have to change clothes…me too, to outwit them. We will go to the same place via different paths…but our destination is a private hangar belonging to someone kind enough to help you." Jero explained. Honestly, I'm exhausted right now.
I leaned against the cold wall of the elevator… too tired to answer.
"You are quite famous..huh, Miss Diandra Roberts, many sympathize with you...it seems she likes you."
I stood up straight, shocked by what he said. "What do you mean, who is it?"
"A handsome doctor named Leo."
"Leo? How do you know he's handsome?"
"Browsing, when his name is mentioned.. I googled him and he is a handsome, noble, intelligent and generous man..you will be very lucky if he really loves you."
I shook my head, "what do you mean? Huh? He loves me.. how do you know?"
"He's the one who asked you to use his private jet…his! He's like that.. humm you're great too…"
I scowled, thinking for a moment over everything Jero had said.
"Is that true?"
Jero chuckled. "You must be blooming .. hummm ..." He then laughed. We are downstairs…and waiting in the lobby. Jero said they would soon come to pick us up. Bringing the same clothes and equipment, as a distraction, so our stalker thinks there are two Jero and two Diandra.
Jero continued to tell his plan, also about the plan to trap Brad, if he really did follow us to Italy, he would contact the police..Jero is very sure that the Italian police will not side with Brad, because Jero has many inside connections.
"Then… if, this is only if… if it turns out that the Italian police are also under his influence, what do you want? What would you do? Hmm.. sorry.. I mean, what should I do?" I asked in a slightly defiant tone. The possibility remains… and it could be Brad with his influence overthrowing the police force in every country. Money can buy everything.. right?
"Easy.. very easy, have you ever heard of the Sentinel Islands? Or the deepest tribe in Papua, called the Dani tribe? They don't have a police system, when you are guilty..they will kill you and eat your body together, cannibalism there is very legal.. so we should move there." He said pretending to think.
"Yeah..and the first person they will eat is me…. Huh?" I answered sarcastically.
"Of course not.. you have beautiful yellow hair… at least they will make you queen mother of the tribe.. because of the magic of your hair." His answer with a chuckle.
"Just the same… you put me in aloe after saving me from the lion's den."
"At least you won't be raped by them… they will perform a traditional ceremony for you first, so that your body and soul are bound to them… so even if you die… your soul will still be his wife."
"You know what… I'm starting to get scared of you." I mumbled. I am really scared by Jero's explanation just now.
