Chapter 9 : True friends

 Kriss, who was betrayed by the police, made him lose confidence in the institution where he worked, especially now that Kriss has been reportedly killed in a car accident that was hit by a truck until it was destroyed and burned down. That way, the existence of Kriss became like a ghost that was considered dead by the public, but that could be an advantage for him. Because that way he can act more freely outside the rules and laws. Whereas if he appears again before the public, then he will definitely be arrested by a person who conspires with the criminals, then it's all over.

 So right now, the best decision for Kriss is to work with Lisa to dismantle and stop AionTex's evil plans. Lisa is a woman whose teenage life was ruined, caused by the act of AionTex that made her parents die, so Lisa always tried to get revenge against AionTex. Although until now her efforts have always not produced results, but who knows, with Kriss, this time Lisa's efforts will succeed.

 Lisa and Kriss who have succeeded in deciphering the coordinate code about Romi's whereabouts, finally have a clue to their next action, they intend to go to the coordinates and save Romi from there. Because Romi is an important key so that they can solve the cases they are currently facing.

 Right now, Kriss and Lisa are getting ready to go somewhere, Kriss wants to invite his former police colleague, named Beni. He lives in a modest workshop on the outskirts of Jakarta, although the relationship between Kriss and Beni is actually rather tenuous, but Kriss will still try to ask for help and convince his old friend, because at this time there are no more special-capable people whom Kriss can rely on besides Beni and Lisa.

 Long story short, when they arrived in the area of residence Beni, they parked their cars with a considerable distance from their destination location, just in case if there were enemies there. Kriss and Lisa walked casually to the workshop which is also Beni's residence.

 While walking, Lisa said, "Is this really the place?"

 "Yes, of course."

 "Do you come here often?"

 "Actually ... Rarely." Kriss answered.

 Then after they entered, there they were greeted by the quiet atmosphere of the workshop which was dirty, with oil-stained floors, scattered tools, cars that were unfixed, and there were also off-road cars that looked dashing, with large tires, and red body. Kriss tried to call out Beni's name so he could get out, but for a long time there was no answer.

 Until finally someone starts coming over to the two of them while holding a large wrench in his hand. That person has a fairly high posture, also muscular body. His hairstyle is like a soldier, he wears a white t-shirt, and oil-stained jeans. While walking he continued to look at Kriss with a threatening look, as if he didn't want Kriss to set foot in his residence.

 "O-oh, Beni. How are you?" Kriss said greeting Beni.

 "What are you doing here?" Beni asked, playing a large wrench in his hand, to intimidate Kriss to leave quickly.

 "Are you not happy to meet me?"

 "No. You better get out of here, before I beat you up! I don't want to get involved in your problem. " Said Beni.

 "Have you seen the news?"

 "Yes, I heard the news that you were dead ... Then now I see you are right in front of me. What other conspiracy is currently being carried out by the police? if I may know? "

 "Listen Beni, I have nothing to do with their conspiracy ... This is about Adnan, he and some other members have a relationship with bad people, that is, a person from the AionTex company. And when I was trying to investigate about a case involving AionTex, I was suddenly ambushed and would be killed. So now, here I am. " Kriss said explaining.

 "Hehhe, I don't know whether I have to believe what you say or not, it's very difficult for me to be able to trust a police officer again. There are too many conspiracies that are sickening, and making me sick ... Now, you better bring your girlfriend and get out of here. " Tell Beni.

 "I'm not his girlfriend." Lisa said, who was looking at the equipment there.

 "Beni, right now they're trying to find me. And because I don't have a family in Jakarta, guess who they will go to. ” Kriss said.

 "I?? ... How come, you and I have not seen each other in 5 years. "

 "Yes, that's eumm ... But Adnan knows that I often come here to just look at your situation from a distance. So, yes ... "

 "What?? You must be kidding ... So far you still care about me? Listen man, I'm not the type to be sentimental ... "

 Before Beni continued his sentence, Lisa suddenly said. "Hey, guys. I think we have a guest. "

It was true, just outside Beni's workshop, a police car came and parked there, a few moments later, Adnan got out of the car followed by two of his men, they rushed into the garage with footsteps like they were going to raid Beni.

 Meanwhile, in the workshop, Kriss and Lisa had been hiding behind a car that was being repaired, so their whereabouts became unknown to Adnan and his group there. Adnan immediately approached Beni who was pretending to work, with warm greetings and normal behavior, Adnan shook Beni's hand and invited him to talk for a while.

 "Hey Beni, how are you, bro?"

 "Hey, may I ask what business you have here?"

 "Hmm, you always did not like lip service right away. Look ... We want you to come with us, to talk about important things about Kriss. "

 "Ouh, yes. I heard news of his death ... I used to warn him that one day he would die miserably if he still worked in the police force, and now it has been proven right. " Said Beni.

 Then Kriss, hearing those words, murmured. "damn Beni."

 After that Beni resumed his words, "However, As you know, I have not been in contact with him for 5 years, so right now It cannot possible that i’ve involved or know anything about him. Therefore I apologize, because it seems like I can't help your investigation. ”

 "Hmm, honestly I also want to apologize Ben, because I came here not just to visit and then go without bringing anything, so please come with me." Adnan said, making the situation a little tense there.

Adnan's two men who stood behind him, began to slightly show the gun in their pants pocket to Beni, so that made Beni immediately understand that he was being threatened and inevitably he had to go with Adnan, to be taken away somewhere and certainly not to the office Police.

 "Hmm, I smell a conspiracy ... By the way, what's up with your hands?" Said Beni, who alluded to the hand of Adnan wrapped in bandages.

 "Enough talking, come follow me." Tell Adnan.

 "All right, but let me say goodbye to my workshop."

 "You are ridiculous."

 "GOOD BYE SWEETY, I WILL MISS YOU, THE TOOL, THE SMELL, ESPECIALLY THE OLD SHELF." Beni said in a loud voice.

 "That's enough, let's hurry up and go!" Shout Adnan in annoyance.

 Not long after, Beni started walking out of his workshop, accompanied by two of Adnan's men, also Adnan, who walked in front of him. It is undeniable that Beni will be held hostage by Adnan so he can capture Kriss, then get rid of them. But Adnan did not realize that there were actually Kriss and Lisa who were hiding inside the workshop.

 Lisa asked Kriss in a whisper, "Why is Beni Shouting like that?"

 "That was not a shout, it was a cue he gave us." Kriss answered.

 "Wahh, you guys really have been close. By the way, what is the mean of the cue? "

 "At the end of the word, he mentioned‘ Old rack '... Let's check the old rack that was there. "

 Then Kriss and Lisa examined the old rack and found a car key there, with a key chain in the shape of a large tire, so Kriss and Lisa concluded that the key was the key to the off road car inside the garage. Then began the idea in their minds, after holding the key, they both nodded at each other.

 Meanwhile, Beni who was walking with Adnan and his two subordinates headed to the police car, began to slow down because he heard the sound of a car engine starting in his workshop, then with a smile, Beni walked a little backwards, while Adnan and his two subordinates were unaware that thing at all.

 Then suddenly, an off road car sped out of Beni's workshop, crashing into a wooden wall and fence from the workshop. That immediately made Adnan and his two men shocked and immediately turned back to see where the shocking sound came from. While Beni who already knows, without thinking, just jump to the side to avoid a collision.

 The off road car driven by Kriss and Lisa continued to drive towards Adnan, the two Adnan subordinates who were not targeted by Kriss, immediately avoided and fell down, while Adnan, who did not have a chance to avoid, had to let himself be hit hard enough by the car offroad, so that his body immediately slammed and collapsed on the road.

 The two Adnan's men immediately stood up while taking out their pistols, then Lisa who was in the car immediately shot one of the subordinates, on the shoulder so that the person immediately collapsed while grimacing in pain, while one more subordinate who would shoot Kriss, immediately just got a hard hit on the back of his head, which was done by Beni using a wrench. Because it had been stored by Beni earlier in the back pocket of his pants.

 Then after the police officers were successfully overcome by Kriss and his friends there. So Beni immediately ran into his off road car, which was being driven by Kriss. Right after Beni entered, Kriss immediately stepped on the gas spurred the car so it sped away leaving the place, because who knows, another Adnan's men would soon come there to surround them.

 And it was true, two other police cars began arriving at the location, when the police officers saw that Kriss and his friends were in the car and sped away from the place, then without thinking they immediately just tried to chase Kriss and friends. So that immediately, the Kriss situation became like a fugitive being chased by two police cars, they carried out a romp along the urban streets which were crowded with various vehicles.

 But deftly, Kriss meandered and kept trying to outwit his pursuers, to make they lost track of the off road car that was being driven by the Kriss. While continuing to go, Beni, who sat in the back seat, shouted at Kriss to warn him about his car.

 “Be careful Kriss !! This car is my only treasure! "

 "When this case is settled, I will replace it with a new one!"

 "Where do you have money from? Now you are a fugitive! " Beni said.

 "Why are you so pessimistic?" Lisa asked Beni.

 "Sorry Miss, I'm not pessimistic, but realistic." Beni answered.

 "Be quiet, and let me drive calmly." Kriss said, to stop their commotion, and so he could continue to focus on driving.

 While the two police cars in the back kept bumping the bumper of their car, causing Kriss and his friends to feel shocked and panicked at times, then Lisa told Kriss to drive the car faster, so they could escape the police chase. But it seems that it will be very difficult, because soon they will enter the area which is famous for having frequent traffic jams, therefore Kriss must think hard to find a way so that they can escape from the pursuit. Therefore, Kriss just said to Beni.

 "Beni !! You are a marksman since at the police academy, now show your abilities. " Kriss said while giving the gun to Beni.

 "No!! I do not want to do it! I haven't held a gun in a long time. " Beni said.

 "Five years will not be able to eliminate the expertise you have."

 "I still don't want it, man!"

 "Come on, if we get caught, then our lives will be over !!" Kriss said who insisted on forcing Beni.

Then Beni began to be stunned and thought about the risk if they were caught, and therefore he immediately took the decision to act to stop the pursuers behind them. Beni immediately took the gun, and will return to use his skills as a sniper.

 With a pistol in his hand, Beni immediately tilted his head out of the car window, then he began aiming the gun at the tires of a police car that was chasing from behind. With a focused gaze and taking into the direction of the wind, Beni, who had gained momentum, then started firing a bullet that immediately shot right at the front tire of a police car.

 So that one of the police cars broke the tire and immediately lost balance, and as a result of that too, the police car meandered and crashed into another police car, so the two chasing cars collided with each other and then bumped and crashed into the road dividing wall. Suddenly it only made Kriss and his friends feel happy, because they finally managed to further the distance and make the pursuers lose their tracks. That way Kriss and his friends became more free to go to a safe place without worrying that they would be caught.

 Meanwhile, Adnan is trying to contact his men, who have failed to pursue Kriss and his friends. With resentment he slammed his cellphone, then kicked the bumper of a nearby car. At that time he really felt angry because he had been hit, and coupled with the failure that he had to accept. So he will definitely receive more complaints from Leonard. Then, while stumbling, he got into the car to take one of his men to the hospital, after being shot by Lisa.

 Long story short, switching to the apartment where Kriss and Beni were helping Lisa to clean up, they put things in the box like someone who will to move house. And it turned out to be true, because Lisa's car was left near the location of Beni's workshop, so there is a possibility that Adnan and his colleagues will soon find their current location, therefore they must immediately move to a new place that will not be easily tracked by the police.

 While arranging the items in the box, Beni and Kriss chatted at length. Kriss explained about the Romi case, as well as the assassination attempt against him, also about the involvement of AionTex in several cases that had happened so far.

 "Man, I quit the Police because I didn't want to be involved in a problem like this. But now you're dragging me into this complicated problem. " Said Beni.

 "We have no other choice, because what is chasing us is not only a criminal, but also from the police. Let's just say you're now being dragged by your past. " Kriss said.

 "Don't just decide it!"

 "Listen Beni, if I didn't come to your house this afternoon, imagine what would happen?"

 "I'll be fine, I can take care of myself."

 Then Lisa approached them both to mediate the problem between the two former partners. Lisa said, "Oh god. You really are close friends. "

 "What did you say?!"

 "The proof is you always fight, it's proof that you are two best friends."

 "We're not friends anymore." Beni said.

 "I want to ask. Exactly why do you hate the police so much? " Lisa asked Beni.

 Then Beni paused, before answering the question. "Back when I was a police officer, I was assigned to rescue abductees. At that time, I was on duty with a senior of mine, we were do that task together ... When we were able to enter the kidnapper's house and enter the room, suddenly the kidnapper took the victim hostage, and put a gun to the victim's head, which is a 10 year old boy. At that time the situation began to heat up, the two sides did not want to budge and threatened each other to drop the gun, the kidnapper kept insisting that he would kill the victim, and we yelled at each other. Until finally, my senior opened fire on the kidnapper. However, it was the child who was hit instead. "

 "Jeez."

 "Yes, the little boy died instantly. Then all is not finished there. My senior just finished killing the kidnapper right away. "

 "Why- why did he do that?"

 "I don't know, at that time I could only be stunned and could not say anything. I can only obey my senior's words and do what he tells me to do. My senior made the incident as if it was an accident, and the kidnapper was the one to be guilt. So that we both don't get into trouble. "

 "Beni, you never told me about this." Said Kriss as if petrified.

 "There is one person I told, the commissioner. But he also even wanted to cover up the incident and told me to remain silent. Then after that I started to find various other irregularities in the Police, which increasingly made me uncomfortable. I once talked to Kriss about some conspiracy, and I also told him that I wanted to get out of the police. But Kriss said that 'Not everyone in the police is dirty', and after that we had a big fight because of differing opinions. Then since then, we have never talked to each other, until now. " Beni said explaining.

 "Hmm, so that's what happened between you two." Said Lisa who began to understand.

 Then Kriss said, "I'm sorry for not being able to understand your heart, Ben, and I'm not always there when you need me ... To be honest, after you came out, I tried as hard as possible to carry out every task given to me properly, so that now I can appointed as an inspector. It's all simply because I want to prove to you, that not all police are dirty. The proof is that there are also reliable police officers. " Kriss said to Beni.

 "Alright, now you all understand each other, right? Therefore, now you two are honest with me. Are you feeling happy at the moment because you can get back together after years apart? ” Lisa asked both of them.

 Then Kriss and Beni stood and faced each other, with a serious look they looked at each other, then nodded to each other. Kriss began to reach out his hand to invite Beni to shake hands, and without saying much, Beni immediately welcomed Kriss's hand so that the two of them finally shook hands.

 "Sorry for suddenly pulling away and always avoiding you bro ... Now, I think the burden of hatred in my heart has begun to decrease." Said Beni.

 "I'm also sorry for not being able to be a good friend to you. Now I really need your help, and I want us to fight together to solve this problem, so that we can return to our normal lives. " Kriss said with a smile.

 After that Lisa also stood up, with an enthusiastic face, she also stretched out her hands and held the hands of the two of them who were shaking hands. Then Lisa said excitedly.

 "Very nice! Now our team is truly formed. And our main mission is to save Romi from AionTex's grasp, then expose all the crimes committed by AionTex! Are you two ready ?! " Lisa asked.

 "I am ready." Kriss said.

 "Of course I'm ready too!" Beni said.

 A team consisting of Kriss, Beni, and Lisa, has officially been formed, thanks to the accident that has made them all involved in the AionTex problem. Lisa who has the ability to infiltrate and use a computer, Beni who has muscle strength and marksmanship, and Kriss who has driving and martial arts skills. The three were ready to carry out their first mission, which was to save Romi who was in the hands of AionTex, then prevent AionTex so that Romi's creation project was not misused for bad purposes.
