Kidnapping is not a trivial matter that could be handled only by two people. In addition, Sofian and Fahri didn't know how many kidnapper there and what they wanted. But precisely, they didn't want a ransom. This case is full of danger and risk. Because of that Sofian could not leave Fahri alone. This matter will be more dangerous for Fahri alone.
5 minute later, Fahri and Sofian arrived at the designated place. Exactly at the old port which still operational even though it was not crowded as in the past.
Sofian looked around with caution. There is many old rusty ship that anchored at this port. Other than that there is two big ship that seemed like it was still being used for transporting goods. Sofian was sure because above that two ship was seen some large cargo container without any load. No worker that been seen at this time around that ship or even at this port. Maybe because this day is a weekend.
Around the port there is many old building that can’t be used anymore. In the past those building was used as a place to buy and sell goods and transaction. And now those building is more suitable for some thugs place for hanging around.
Fahri checking his hand phone once again to make sure the address that been sent before. Meanwhile Sofian following Fahri's back while holding a gun.
At this dangerous moment, the two of them should bring their weapons. And it will be better if they bring the other police officer. But because they leave in hurry, Fahri forgot to bring his gun. That old man really can’t think thoroughly. His worry toward his daughter made him less cautious and not careful. Fahri truly wanted to meet Silfy and made sure she was fine.
The both of them walk deeper until they passes an old storage shed that maybe in the past was being used as a temporary goods storage. Fahri stopped his step in front of storage shed and suddenly, Sofian head was hit by a hard object and made him fall unconscious.
Fahri surprised to hear something fall to the ground behind him. He turned around and his eyes wide open to see two thugs already standing behind him.
Fahri stooped to see Sofian that already lying in the ground which now unconscious. "S-Sofian!", Fahri called to him.
One of those thugs laugh as if he wanted to mock Fahri. He is the one that run away from Sekar at that noon. As what Fahri suspect, they true target is Fahri and not Sekar. Fahri that wanted to open his mouth to negotiate with those thugs, fall to the ground because the other thug that holding a wooden club immediately hit his head.
Not long after that, one bucket of dirty water splashed to Sofian and Fahri face. Making the two of them awake from their short dream. Their head is felt truly painful. Their hands and legs was tied up, and their mouth was shut by black colored adhesive tape.
One of those thugs that wearing a stripes clothes kicking Fahri fat stomach making him coughing in mute. "Did you have a pleasant dream, worm?" Said that thug.
Fahri stares at that thug which kicking his stomach powerlessly.
Sofian that now fully conscious take a glance toward Fahri that now lying down beside him. Sofian trying to get up and at that moment his eyes opened wide, staring at a young woman that lying unconscious around 10 meter from where he was.
The other thug wearing a grid patterned clothes throwing a bucket in his hand and then straighten Fahri bowed head with the tip of his shoes exactly at Fahri's chin.
"Look what we do to your lovely daughter old man. I will make sure you will cry blood because of joy. Ha . . . Ha . . . Ha . . . " That thug which wearing grid patterned clothes laughed hard.
Hearing that words, made Fahri fully conscious. Fahri looked at the same direction to where Sofian eyes directed. Fahri eyes opened widely. His face turned red and his face vein strained.
Right at the front of his eyes, Silfy, Fahri lovely daughter lying down in the floor naked and her body was full of bruises. 4 thugs gathered around Silfy while laughing hard.
Bastard! Scum! Demon! Many word of insult Fahri says with his closed mouth. Fahri truly wanted to beat up or even kill those bastard in that second. But Fahri could not do anything and his word of insult was not been heard by them, his voice is no more than like a bee buzzing around.
Stripes clothes thug bringing his right hand closer to his ear. "What?! Did you say something fucking old man?!", He smiled contentedly mocked at Fahri.
"You know how delicious your daughter body is? We couldn't even stop raping her even when she fainted. She was truly smart to satisfy men, she could be a good whore." Said a thug that wearing the grid patterned clothes.
"That is our revenge because you killed our friends." The stripes clothes thug kicking Fahri stomach once again.
"Hey, can we start another session?!", One of the thugs yelled, he had the darkest skin and standing right beside Silfy while staring at her naked body full of lust.
"Do it my friend. Make yourself satisfied before that whore body becoming cold. You surely will not wanted her anymore." The stripes clothes thug answered.
A fat thug that standing beside the dark skinned thug kicking Silfy body until she awaken from her fainted state.
Silfy moving her head that feel heavy slowly. All of her body part feel painful and she had a hard time to see with her swollen eyes.
"Look darling, your father was here to watch us making his heir!", That dark skinned man pointed at Fahri while at the same time opening his trousers.
The other thugs laughing hard as if their act is very funny.
Silfy looked at where that dark skinned thug refer to with her swollen eyes. Both of her eyes widen to see his father that also look at her.
Fahri tried to say something but he can't. Fahri can only pleaded, hoping so those scum around Silfy will not do something horrible toward her again. He even crawled to approach the thug beside him and pleaded.
Without mercy, that thug wearing a stripes clothes kicked Fahri in the face until he fall down to his side and a fresh blood flowing from his nose.
2 other thugs crouching and holding Silfy tied arms. They lift her arms above her head. Meanwhile the dark skinned thug which already opened his trouser smiled wide and taking position in front of Silfy crotch that now was opened wide without much care of Silfy bruised body.
Silfy hysterically scream. But her voice was not clearly been heard because her mouth was shut with adhesive tape. She struggle with a tears bathes her face. She was powerless. Her heart was filled with hatred, anger, grudge and many harsh insult toward those scum that raping her alternately. If god is not helping her, it will be best if god taking her life here and now, and let her to stop feeling these torture and humiliation which are very cruel to her.
An anger was exploding at Fahri's mind. He growling angry to see her daughter persecution. He truly wanted to do something, go to his daughter side and stopping their cursed action. But Fahri could not do anything. As a father he was forced to watch her daughter being raped, Fahri feeling is shattered and his heart was filled with darkness. His hand that tied behind his back is gripped tight. He swear, he will not release those damned scum and killed all of them.
Looking at atrocity in front of his eyes, Sofian really wanted to scream and blow all of those scum head with gun. But without a gun and moreover his hand and legs were tied, Sofian could not do that.
Because of a strong mental pressure, Silfy fainted once again.
A thug with fat body which standing beside Silfy kicked her body. But because there is no reaction and Silfy is still unmoving, one of those thug touching her hand and checking if Silfy is still breathing.
That thug stares at his other friend with surprised face. "She's dead!".
The other 3 thugs around Silfy body is also surprised. For a few second after that, the 4 of them laughed at the same time without feeling any regrets.
Fahri whole body turned limp. Every negative feeling and his anger suddenly disappear instantly when he hear that his daughter is dead. Fahri soul was also died together with her daughter, his eye is full of void and darkness. As a father he was failed and useless. Cannot protect his daughter and instead lett
ing her being tortured in front of his very eyes till her die.
"Hey!! If all of you are satisfied, let us clean these trash!" Said a thug that wearing a grid patterned clothes.
2 thugs that standing in Silfy side immediately approaching Sofian, and then they dragging him to some place.
Sofian struggle, trying to release himself but all for naught.
Both of those thugs put Sofian inside a barrel that had been cut in half horizontally. Meanwhile the other two thugs taking a cement which already been processed that they prepare before.
The thug that wearing a stripes clothes taking Sofian gun which before he loot from Sofian. He aiming that gun precisely at Fahri's head.
Fahri is not moving. Frozen stiff and unmoved, as if he doesn't even care about his own life anymore.
"This is revenge for my friends!", Said that man.
Bang!
That stripes clothes thug pulling the gun trigger and shooting Fahri's head without a doubt.
Fahri died instantly and Sofian that watching at that incident could not do anything. His life is also in danger.
The fat thug hitting Sofian head slowly with a gun butt. "You know what will we do to you pal? We will cement both of your legs inside this half barrel and then throw you into the sea, so no one will ever find your dead body."
Both of Sofian eyes is opened wide. His heart beating hard together with his fear that he imagine in his head. He had a cold sweat and dread was seen clearly at his face. He struggle trying to do something. He didn't want to die this meaningless death moreover with this cruel method. But Sofian can still do nothing.
"Hey, look at our catch. He wanted to escape," Said a skinny thug with a tuft upon his hair.
Those thugs laughing hard at Sofian which now struggling more.
2 other thugs coming back with 4 bucket full of processed cement. They pouring those cement inside the barrel until both of Sofian legs was buried till his ankle.
Sofian face vein strained and his face become red full of intense fear. Sofian scream as loud as he can to ask for help. But who will helped him? His voice is just heard like a soft groan.
"Hey, try to be more patience. Just enjoy your life in this few minutes. Don't waste your only chance." Said the thug that wearing a grid patterned clothes with cynical smile.
All 6 of those thugs laughed hard. They keep bullying Sofian without any remorse while at the same time waiting that cement to harden.
Ichsan face turn to scarlet while hearing Sofian, Fahri and Silfy death chronology from Burhan own mouth. Can't hold his anger anymore, at that second Ichsan shoot one of Burhan arms that tied in the chair.
Blood flowing at Burhan wounded right arm. His scream reverberating loudly at his working room. But no one come to help him because his wife and daughter is not inside their house. Meanwhile, Ichsan already capture Burhan aide and gardener, Ichsan tying and shut their mouth and then confine them in aide room.
Ichsan hope was lost for him to find Sofian. Ichsan still could not believe it, that talented and smart young man is dead and his corpse is now rot inside the sea. Truly brainless, Ichsan can only swear at himself. If only he act fast, it was possible if he could save Sofian. Only regret that was left for Ichsan.
"You . . . No word can describe how fucked up you are!" Ichsan growled.
Burhan stare at his nephew full of fear. "I-Ichsan, please, that is not my true intention. In truth I never wanted to kill them, but . . . I must do my duties."
"What duty is it? Hah?! The duty of police officer is to protect citizen, not to make them feel restless for your own damned stomach!"
Burhan let out a small groan, holding the pain at his wounded arm that have been shot. "You must understand Ichsan, everything is not easy as you think. We are like a chess pawn that must do an order and not allowed to decline. If I don't do what those people say, they will hurt my family. Did you want to see your cousin murdered?"
Ichsan holding his gun tightly. How could this demon said something like that?
"As a father, you didn't want your children being hurt even for a little. But look at what you did, without any regrets you deliberately sacrificing other people until you let those scum torturing Fahri's daughter. You are unworthy to be called a father!"
"For my family, I must do all of this madness. I am forced to. I don’t want those people . . . "
"Whose people did you mean?!" Ichsan interrupting. "Say it all to me, or I will blow your fucking heads off!!" Ichsan threatened.
Burhan fell silent and gulped. At first Burhan thinks, Ichsan didn't have a courage to shoot him. But after Ichsan shoot one of his hand, Burhan now is in doubt. Should he divulge that secret and tell Ichsan everything? If his superior known and so as those people, they will not let Burhan to live. They will order some people to kill Burhan, same as he ordering some people to kill Fahri and his family.
This time a gun had been aimed at Burhan's head. And if Burhan is still insisted to remain silent, He could have been dead at once in his nephew hands.
"Is this related to those werewolves? Is it true that our government taking part of this matter?"
"I am sure you have already guessed. Those werewolves and those big man wearing a black suit, they are from the same organization called Elysion. That organization is the largest organization in this world. They control many country in shadow and make them not to oppose their existence."
"Tell me, all of it!"
"Werewolf is one of artificial creature that developed by Elysion. Their purpose is to increase the humans standard of living and made a new human that can survive in any condition, they doing a research toward the living things, developing the best creature DNA and merged it with human cell until they could form a new living form, and one of them is a werewolves."
"And the government cooperating with them?"
"The government task is to protect their secrecy so the public and media will not know. That organization could destroy any country that they want in a flash. And the only choice this country had is only cooperate with them if we wanted to live in peace."
Ichsan smile sarcastically. "Live in peace you say? Look what happened to an innocent young man like Sofian. All of you claimed his lives and you can still say about live in peace?! What kind of peace that you are talking about? You truly are disgusting!"
"A little sacrifice is sometimes needed to protect the greater ones, Ichsan."
"Yes, you are right. If so why did you not sacrifice your daughter and your family so that the innocent ones such as Sofian, Fahri, and his family is no need to die only because of scum like you."
Burhan fell silent and gulped once again. His face is full of a cold sweat. It was difficult to persuade Ichsan and made him to understand.
"Then, where is that facility located?"
"One of it was covered by pharmaceutical company and their exact location is in underground."
Ichsan could see there is no falseness from Burhan words. It seems he truly afraid of death till he can't lie.
"Give me the map of its location!", Ichsan asked.
"Inside my desk drawer."
Ichsan approaching Burhan working desk and then searching the drawer to find what he want.
"I-Ichsan, I hope you are not do anything rash. You must think about your son and your wife." Burhan warned.
After finding what he seek. Ichsan leaving that desk and then returned to Burhan and standing right beside him.
"Just think about yourself. Just hope that god will forgive you and will not throw you into hell!"
A light of fear come back in both of Burhan eyes. His bad feelings returned when he hear Ichsan word recently. "W-what do you mean?"
Ichsan aimed his gun at Burhan's head with no doubt.
"Ichsan, you . . . It's impossible for you to kill your own uncle right? Think about your cousin and your aunt. You . . . Did you have a heart to let your cousin to be fatherless?"
"Your daughter is mature enough, she should be feel ashamed becaus
e she have a shitty father like you." Ichsan answered. A hatred was seen clearly at his face color.
"I . . . I have helped you Ichsan. If not for me maybe you have the same fate as those two, if I didn't protecting you by arresting you. You will share the same fate like Fahri and Sofian."
Ichsan ignoring Burhan words and taking a step closer.
Burhan's body was trembling hard because of intense fear. "I-Ichsan please, have mercy." Burhan looked at Ichsan and pleaded. Tears wetting his face and he show more emotions than before.
Ichsan shown a disgusted looks full of hatred toward his uncle.
People like Burhan could easily take others life without mercy. As if those people did not feel the same fear and suffering like he felt right now. But when Ichsan aimed his gun toward Burhan, he himself was also feel the same thing and could not hold his fear. People like Burhan had no right to ask for mercy.
"Send my greetings to Fahri and Sofian when you meet with them."
Bang! A bullet nesting exactly at Burhan's head. That 50 years old man died with his eyes still opened.
Ichsan lowering his hand and exhaling a weary breath.
Justice in this country is truly dilapidated. Because of that Ichsan decide to judge his uncle with his own hand and method. He didn't care if he must dirtying his hand. If with this kind of method he can save many innocent life's. Truly Ichsan didn’t regret for doing it.
