Officer Dickerson orders his men to pack up their equipment. He leaves with a very unenthusiastic look on his face. Either because he is so tired, or maybe he is so disappointed that Sofia doesn’t want to cooperate with his team.Alex also decides to leave since he still needs to handle his business. So he just leaves with Boris. However, just like on the previous two nights, Sofia tries to hold him again, offering to stay the night in that house with the others.“You could stay the night here?You know we have so many unoccupied rooms in this house.”“Don’t get me wrong,” Alex replies. “I have a new business, and I handle this business during the night.”“Running business during the night? Can’t you even leave your work for a while? Elly is…”“Look! I’m not like you,” Alex interferes with her immediately. “I didn’t have a father who left me so much wealth that I could leave my job at will.”Sofia's face turns a bit sour, believing that Alex is expressing his frustration at having to s
Meanwhile, Alex still has to find money to redeem his daughter, at least another 3 million dollars. Of course he still has money, as well as savings in the form of gold bullion at home. But it doesn't even amount to 2 million dollars. After all, exchanging those gold bars would take time. So, he simply calls Nelson, thinking that the youngster would be kind enough to lend him that much money. [Oh, Mr. Davis! I heard your daughter was kidnapped. Is that true?] “Yes, that’s why I need your help.” [My help? Okay, just tell me. What can I do for you?] “They asked for 5 million dollars. But I only have about 2 million right now.” [So you need another 3 million dollars? That’s quite a lot] “So, can I borrow your money?” Nelson doesn’t immediately give him an answer, which makes Alex a bit doubting that this youngster would really lend his money or not. But then… [Sorry, Mr. Davis. I need to leave] And that call is immediately cut off. Alex can only sigh with an unenthusiastic face.
Sofia is aghast, and then tries her best to after that man. Alex, who has been observing the situation with binoculars, begins to notice there’s something wrong.“No way! Don’t tell me those two are cops! Boris! Let’s go!”The two of them immediately come down from the top of that building, getting to the car intending to help Sofia.Meanwhile, Sofia is still trying to hold that case, preventing that man from leaving without giving back Elly to her.“No! What about my daughter!” she shouts.Of course, that ruckus attracts the attention of the couple from across the street. On the other hand, the man with the mask no longer wants to take the risk, and then takes out his gun.“Get back!” he threatens by pointing the gun at Sofia.Sofia is petrified. This is the first time she is threatened by a gun in a close range. So she simply lets go of the case.And just like what that man has feared of, the two people in the track suits don’t look scared at all to see someone holding a gun. Their
Sofia still can’t calm down. Only for a moment did she get a chance to see her daughter, and now she has lost her again.Alex begins to show some concern with her condition, and is doubting whether to let her drive home by herself.“There’s no use staying here any longer. Boris, you take my car,” says Alex as he throws his car keys at Boris.“What about you?”“I’ll drive her home,” replies Alex as he walks toward Sofia’s car, and tells Sofia to get into the car as he runs into her. “Staying here won’t change anything. Let’s leave!”He finds the car’s window is wide open. Even the key is still hanging on the car starter. So he simply gets into the car, sits behind the wheel, and starts it. Sofia has no choice but to get into the car and sit beside him.In the end, they are back empty handed. Except for those police officers who got to send two criminals to the hospital. And currently, Officer Dickerson follows Sofia and the others back to Sydney.“Now they have no other choice but to c
They all reach Sofia’s house before the sun sets. Goergina observes those cars entering the gate from behind the window of her room. Her face seems so uneasy, with the phone on her left ear.“That stupid cuckoo! Why doesn't he answer the phone?” she grumbles.She has been trying to call her husband. It isn’t clear what business she has with him at the moment. But she hasn’t managed to get in touch with that stupid husband for a while.As she sees Sofia getting out of the car and gets inside the house, she simply ends her struggle to call her husband. The thing is, she finds Sofia and Alex returning without bringing their child home, which arouses her curiosity.She gets out of her room, and then finds those people are having a serious talk with the police on the first floor.“They will surely call you again. Since we’ve got two of their friends, it will be much easier on our side now. Either they call us first, or we get the two men to talk,” utters Officer Dickerson.“Easy my ass!” A
On the other hand, Officer Dickerson also gets information from one of his men who is whispering something to him from behind. Immediately, that cop looks for the TV remote intending to check on the news.“Excuse me!”He turns on the TV, and changes the channel a few times, until he gets one reporter covering Lorenzo and Shaun’s current situation. Of course, this reporter also mentions Elly's kidnapping too. That cop can only rub his forehead, seeming to run out of ideas.“Yo! Mr. Hero! Are you still there? What about the deal?”[There will be no deal. I know my brothers have died. I’ll just take what I have with me. An eye for an eye]And immediately, one gunshot occurs, being followed with some commotion from the other side of the phone.[Hey! Get away from that kid!][What are you going to do?][I’m going to kill her!]“No!” Sofia immediately rushes to the phone. “Please, let my…”Another gunshot occurs, and that man immediately cuts off the phone. Sofia holds her head with both ha
A moment later, one maid appears with a doctor. Alex immediately takes a distance away from Sofia, knowing he is no longer Sofia’s husband. He leaves the room, and lets the doctor check on Sofia’s condition. When he gets outside, he finds Boris is still standing right beside the door. “I need to leave,” says Alex before getting closer to Boris as if intending to whisper something to him. “Don’t let Georgina or her daughter get into Sofia’s room until she is back conscious.” “Are you going to look for them now?” asks Boris. “Why don’t you visit my pub first and take a bit of rest there. I haven’t seen you sleep these last three days. It won’t do you any good if you suddenly collapse right when you find and confront them.” “Sure!” Alex accepts his suggestion. “Okay, I’ll inform Pablo. You can ask him to join you later.” Alex simply nods before taking his leave. As he walks, he checks on his tracker through his phone again, and finds that the tracker is still moving despite it being
As Alex leaves the court, he sees Officer Dickerson getting out of his car. The place is already crowded by local people, so, that one officer tries to get away from them. Hence, he doesn’t notice Alex to be also there.Officer Dickerson immediately approaches the other cops, intending to check on the dead bodies which they have put on the ambulance. Sadly, the ambulance leaves before he gets to it.“Sir! Over here!” calls one of the cops, inviting Officer Dickerson to come into the basketball court. Apparently, he is one of Officer Dickerson’s team members who happened to be with him last night in Sofia’s house.“What did you find?” asks Officer Dickerson.“Five dead bodies. Only three of them carried ID cards, the other two did not have any wallets at all.”“When were the bodies first discovered?”“The first person who found them made a report about 1 hour ago.”“Just 1 hour ago? Then why did you take the bodies already?”“Well, we can’t just let them in an open place like this. Aft
Giana is back with warm tea, and then offers it to Sofia. But she doesn’t stay there for too long. She immediately leaves that office again. And of course, Alex notices that the girl deliberately lets him be alone with Sofia. He also notices that Boris is no longer there either. He simply shakes his head, and intends to make his business with Sofia as short as possible. “Sorry! I come here only to borrow your money! I have to travel to Jakarta tomorrow. Maybe I can get a clue about Elly's whereabouts there. If not, I will continue my search to Singapore, and maybe Thailand too,” explains Alex. Sofia is silent for a moment. She gets an impression that Alex is only looking for their daughter without any clues, and simply going to places in desperation. “Do you really believe she might be in these countries?” she asks unsurely. “Is she really still alive?” Alex takes a deep breath. “Do you think I do this out of my ignorance? The person who kidnapped Elly had sold her to a child tra
Alex straightens his shirt and leaves while enduring the pain in his right ribs. Among the people present at that time, there is also Miles Benet, who comes over to Alex with a happy face.“Hey, is that true? You became one of the Overseers replacing Morgan Davis?”But Alex just puts on a flat face. He continues to walk away while looking at Benet coldly without saying anything.“Hey, Alex!” Benet calls him.“Shut up! Never put on that naïve face in front of me,” says Alex as he keeps walking away by only showing his back. “I already know your true color.”Boris arrives and intends to support Alex who looks in pain. However, Alex refuses the help, because he doesn’t want to appear weak in that place.While heading to the car, Alex sees Morgan's car coming towards him. It seems that the old man left the hotel via a different route that Alex didn't know. The car stops near Alex, and Morgan rolls down the window, seeming to have something to talk about.And so Alex approaches him. “So, w
Alex can’t find any reason to decline their offer now. He even thinks that it may be helpful for him to find his daughter out there. “What do you say, Alex?” asks Reece Thompson. Alex glances at them for a moment, and then gives a solemn nod lightly. “That’s settled then,” Freedie Berker affirms immediately. “We will announce about this news later, and maybe hold an official meeting with the Administrators to introduce you as the new leader of The Catacomb.” “No, wait!” Alex interferes with him immediately. “If possible, let it stay like how it used to be. I don’t mind with me being the only true leader, but let the others know that I’m just one of the Overseers.” “So, you want to keep this secrecy just like what Morgan did this whole time?” Alex nods lightly. “Everyone?” Freedie Berker asks the other Overseers. None of the other Overseers shows their objection. “Okay, then! We will do just as you want,” says Freedie Berker to Alex. “But we have to postpone the official inaug
Rusli hurries to catch up with Saniyah. “Hey, wait!”Saniyah still gets into her car. However, she lowers the car window while giving a sign to the driver not to leave yet.“You should know, just being vice president won't allow me to do much,” Rusli explains his situation.“That's why, don't be satisfied with just aiming to become vice president. You have a brother in parliament, a nephew at the police headquarters, and your electability is quite high. Aim for the number one,” Saniyah provokes him.“It's useless to have high electability if there is no support from the coalition for me as a presidential candidate,” argues Rusli.“Then, just ignore that coalition. Hasn’t your party passed the presidential threshold for this?” Saniyah replies rhetorically.“Don't be naive. That will only make me lose support,” Rusli retorts.Saniyah slowly turns her face to Rusli by raising one of her eyebrows. “I know, in this country there is a secret organization that operates behind the scenes, who
Back to the house of Rosdiana, Rusli’s ex-wife. In the meantime, Lisa is being questioned by her mother. Rosdiana drags Lisa to her bedroom by leaving Elly alone in the kitchen.“What is this now? Whose child you brought to this house?” asks* the mother by restraining her voice.“You don’t need to speak this way, mom! She won’t be able to follow our conversation,” explains* Lisa.That mother, Rosdiana, gets to the door and then takes a peek at Elly for a glance.“One look and you can tell that she is a foreigner. She doesn’t understand Minang language at all,” Lisa continues*, getting out of her mother’s room, and then takes Elly to the living room.As if understanding the situation, Rosdiana follows her daughter in a hurry, and immediately asks openly in front of Elly without hiding anything.“Did your father take her home?” she asks*.Lisa doesn’t say anything. She only shows her gloomy face.“Don’t tell me…”As if knowing what’s inside her mother’s mind, Lisa just nods lifelessly.
That one bodyguard is yawning, rubbing his hands due to the cold. He does notice something, and intends to check on the situation. But then, he finds a stray cat from outside. “Shit! He will be mad if I let a stray cat get into this house,” grumbles* the man with a tired sigh. Lisa looks so awry, afraid to be found out. But then, she hears her father calling from inside the house. And that calling attracts the guard’s attention. “What’s now?” The man whines*, leaving the cat and rushes inside the house. Lisa knows her father must be looking for her and Elly at the moment. She immediately runs away while holding Elly's hand, heading toward the side door of the yard fence. Meanwhile, Rusli is looking so mad, pacing around inside the house looking for his daughter. He has entered the room where he kept Elly, but not finding the kid there. “Lisa!!!!” He opens the door to Lisa’s room, and he doesn’t find anyone there either. He even notices the wardrobe which is still open, and in a
As that girl heads to the kitchen, she finds her dad has just come home from work. For some reason, she rushes to the kitchen, seeming to avoid meeting her own father. Not because the father is a thug. To be exact, he is actually one of the most known people in this country, Rusli Gunawan, who is currently running a political campaign as one of Indonesia's vice presidential candidates. As much as she wants to avoid him, the father still finds her in the kitchen. And oddly, her face suddenly turns so pale. “How is she doing?” asks the man, talking in his native language, Bahasa Minang. “She’s already asleep in her room,” replies* the girl, holding the cup of the drink with shaking hands. The father takes a glance at the cup she is holding. And so, that girl just reaches out to him. “Um… I prepared this for you!” The father smiles, and then strokes the girl’s hair gently. “Lisa! You are a good girl. But sadly, you turned adult too soon.” He then leaves by taking the cup of drink
In the middle of the night, they visit a nursing home in the Narraweena area. They can still pay a visit, simply because this nursing home is still under The Catacomb’s influence.Some of the old members of The Catacomb spend the rest of their lives here, including the 67 years-old man they are going to see, Luca Campbell. Morgan has investigated four senior members of The Catacombs who were involved in the massacre of Alex's family.This Luca is the oldest among them, while the others have been killed by Morgan Davis. When this man learns that Morgan pays him a visit, he knows that he is coming to take his life.“So, it’s my turn now, huh?” utters the old man as a greeting.The old man just sits on a wheelchair. It seems like he is not in a condition where he can run away. A small part of his left earlobe has been cut off, a legacy from the past.“It seems like you’ve been expecting my coming,” says Morgan Davis, pulling a chair and then takes a seat in front of Luca.“I’ve heard wha
Alex did say that he is going to kill this old man. But now, after seeing Morgan Davis right in front of him, he’s just standing there not knowing what to do.It doesn’t mean he no longer hates him. But he finds it hard to vent his anger toward him, despite how mad his face currently is.“She is my disciple, but she has nothing to do with your grudge. If you hate me that much, feel free to leash that demon and kill me,” utters Morgan, calmly provoking Alex to attack him.“Thank you for making it easier to kill you.”Alex makes up his mind to kill that old man. The two of Morgan’s bodyguards look so ready to fight Alex, but Morgan immediately spreads his arms to halt them. The same with Boris, immediately holds both of Alex’s arms from behind.“Fuck! Let go of me. Are you on his side now?” Alex retaliates.“That’s enough!” Boris tries to calm Alex’s retaliation. “How much have you made things worse by losing control like this? Why don’t you listen from his side first? We will judge lat
