But that can't make anyone lose their appetite. Everyone likes to jostle just to buy unsatisfying food for one to five thousand rupiah.
"Dean want some meatballs? Here are the meatballs!”
Dean raised an eyebrow because it was Ivan who suddenly put a meatball into his bowl, without even listening to his response first.
"Van, eat. If you give it all to Dean, when will you be full." Devan across the table squinted sharply.

"There is no solid evidence that this child is the culprit. But from what I can see, you guys are a bit too much on interrogation. Doesn't that mean we can also sue you for violence? Especially in minors." "Devan?" Deandra asked in his mind. Trying to recognize the firm voice he just heard. Slowly but surely, consciousness forced Dean's eyes to open.

Smoke billowed from the cup of coffee which was sitting on a wooden table. Fills the dimly lit room with its scent, and soothes the heart of a man sitting opposite it. On the side of the cup of coffee, the distinctive sound of a typewriter sounded so beautiful. The man's ten fingers danced while magic slowly created on a white piece of paper. A smile broke out, his mind was muttering everything he wrote there. “Anger filled the young man. There was an inexplicable feeling, combined with the hot turmoil in his heart.

In the middle of this hot day, should he thank the cop who just threw water on him? "Sir... isn't it too much?" "What do you mean too much? This child has been proven guilty. We just need to make him admit it." The middle-aged man with his distended stomach stood up while giving a low look. A cruel grin that should not be visible on the faces of law enforcement officers, was clearly etched on his face. The other men on the man's side couldn't do much other than silently watch. Meanwhile in front of them, a young man in school uniform sat cross-legged on the floor. Water dripped from every wet part of his body. "How long are you going to be quiet? You better be honest now."After saying that, the man – who seemed to be in the highest position in this place, sat down on the available chair. His eyes were loyal to look, right at Deandra who still chose to remain silent. “Haahh… you know the situation don't you? The more stubborn you are, the longer you will be here." Say h

Said one of the two men. “Show me!” Dean insisted. As Devan wished, one of the two policemen reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of paper from inside. But just as he was about to give the paper to Devan, Deandra's sudden rise and that young man's words stopped them. "No need sir. I'm go with you." Of course, the decision that Deandra made unilaterally made Devan even more angry. "Dean! I know you're an idiot but no..." Devan's sentence was cut off, just as Dean suddenly tapped his shoulder and whispered something. "Check your phone." Dean really made sure only Devan could hear him.
