 Agni and Ralph have managed to get a key for the locker where the money was stored, so that they can launch the next plan to lure and trap Roy. But unfortunately there is one thing that was not anticipated by Agni and Ralph, namely regarding Linda's photo in Agni's apartment, so by using that photo Roy could possibly find Linda then use her to lure and trap Agni. Ralph who seem to realize about that possibility, try to warn Agni about the photo that has missing.  When Agni and Ralph had returned to their hiding place, Agni continued to call Linda's number but was not picked up, it's making Agni so panicked and worried, even Ralph who was with Agni at that time could not do anything about it. Then shortly after, Agni's Smartphone started ringing, breaking the silence they were feeling at that time. Agni immediately felt shocked, then he looked at the screen of his smartphone, and apparently there was a phone call from Linda, his lover.  This made Agni even more surprised, he didn't know whether the call was really from Linda or from the person who was holding Linda's cellphone, so Agni's hands began to tremble, then he put the smartphone screen to his ear. In his heart, Agni hoped that he will heard Linda's voice and Linda was all right, Agni hope that was just an ordinary calling from Linda as always.  However, apparently it doesn’t happen like Agni's expectations, because it turned out that the sound came out was the voice of a man he did not know at all. It was the voice of Roy, who greeted him with a sly laugh full of satisfaction.  "Good evening, Mr. Agni Iskandar."  "Wh- Who is this? How do you know me ?? " Agni asked anxiously.  "Yes, I know who you are, you better don’t mess with me. Now, tell me about your relationship with Ralph."  "Where is Linda? !!" Agni asked with emotion.  "Calm down, she's fine, as long as you obey me." Then Roy brought the phone closer to Linda, who was bound in a chair, crying with her mouth stuffed with cloth. Linda was powerless to be able to fight or escape from there, so she could only rebel as best she could. while continuing to do useless scream.  After that Roy brought his cellphone back to his ear and said, "How do you think? She sounds okay right ?? Hehhe."  "Damn you!!" Agni shouted filled with anger.  "Agni." Ralph held Agni on the shoulder from the side to calm him down. With irregular breathing, Agni spoke again to Roy. "If you hurt her, then ..."  Roy interrupted the words from Agni. "Then what ?? Hah? You're not in a position to be able to threaten me. Now start telling me, what is your relationship with Ralph! Or I will do something terrible to your girlfriend. " Forced Roy.  "Please don't, please." Agni began pleading Roy with a pleading tone.  "Yeah, that's what I want to hear."  "Ralph and I are not friend, we just met." Agni said, answering the question that had been given by Roy.  "Do not lie! You must be in collusion !! ” Roy said, disbelief.  Then, Ralph immediately took the cellphone from Agni, and immediately took over the conversation with Roy. "Hello Roy, long time no see." Said Ralph.  "Hey Ralph, my friend ... Lately you have been very difficult to find."  "I will never forgive what you did to my brother." Said Ralph, implying enormous emotions.  "Hehhe ... Who would want to ask for forgiveness? I want the money you have, I know that your brother must have left that with you, right ??! "  "Yes, it is true." Said Ralph, bluffing Roy.  "Very good, then tell your friend Agni Iskandar, if he wants his girlfriend to be safe, then you and he must deliver the money to the location that i will tell you tommorow afternoon. Bring the money, and i will bring his girlfriend as well. We'll do the transaction."  "Then how can we know that you will keep your promise?" Ralph asked firmly.  "Since you have no other choice, then you should trust me. You know that I will not hesitate to do bad things to your friend girlfriend's right?" Roy said, threatening.  "Hmm ..." Ralph thought for a moment, as if he felt confused about what to do. Then Agni tapped Ralph's shoulder while whispering, "Say Agree, we need to get Linda back."  "Okay, okay." Ralph answer to Agni.  Ralph looked at Agni's face with an expression of doubt and disbelief, but Agni reassured Ralph that they could overcome this situation, and Agni insisted that Ralph must be sure of him. So Ralph nodded and immediately said to Roy, that he agreed to the order. Although Ralph actually did not believe in Roy, Roy could have broken his promise and succeeded in trapping Agni and himself.  After making the agreement, Ralph hung up the phone and then he spoke again to Agni. "This is just a trap. After we hand the money over to the him, Roy won't necessarily let go of your girlfriend, and he will definitely catch us and hand us over to the mafia boss. Now everything is finished! " Ralph said while kicking the table.  "We have to calm down Ralph. Now the situation has canged, we need a new plan." said Agni.  "Why we have to be calm in a situation like this?? And why you can be so calm?" Ask Ralph.  "Because if i get hot headed like you, then we can't find the solution. And Linda couldn't be saved."  Agni answer made Ralph instantly silent, then he realized that what Agni said was right. They need to be calm and focus to make a plan. So after Ralph start to calm down, Agni continue his word.  "Don't get consumed by rage, I also had consumed by rage just like you before, I'm so angry that I can't think straight, but now I have calmed myself down so that I can start planning."  "Listen Agni, don't be offended, but I'm not sure about your plans! Right now we are really screwed! There is nothing we can do! " Said Ralph with emotion.  "Believe me, everything will be fine. And rest assured ... That God knows the best for us. " Said Agni.  "Hah? At a time like this don't bring God! Do people like me deserve help from God ?? " Asked Ralph.  "God will help anyone who asks for it, and all we have to do is pray, believe, and act ... Now, I tell you to believe, and come to act with me. Then the rest, leave it to God. Are you coming? " Agni invited as he extended his hand to Ralph.  Then, Ralph paused for a second, he think about what Agni said. His mind, which was plagued by confusion and revenge against Roy, seemed to get enlightened from Agni's words, so he was finally willing to follow Agni's invitation, and listen to the plans that had been alluded to by Agni. Now, is not the time to retreat, Ralph and Agni must be able to go forward to solve this business as much as possible, with all their might, and of course also with the help of God.  "Then tell me about your plan." Begged Ralph.  "First, the evidence about Roy's involvement with your brother, where can we get it?"  "Everything must be in Roy's cellphone, so we just need to take his cellphone, and get the evidence about his phone call history, especially the phone call to my brother's number."  "Well then, do you can get his cellphone?"  "I'ts easy, but we have money to pay someone of my colleagues, and to buy a tracking device.  "Oke then, let's go get the money."  "Finally."  Long story short. In the morning, Agni and Ralph was at the train station, which looked very busy with many people passing by. There, Agni and Ralph walked casually towards the luggage locker. After they arrive there, Agni immediately use the key to open one of the locker, in which inside there is a black bag filled with large amounts of money.Then without further ado, they immediately take the bag and leave from there. Now they have taken the money, so it's time to start the plan.  When still in there, Ralph asked Agni. "Why you hide that bag on the train station locker?"  "Because it's not traceable." Agni answer briefly.  Meanwhile, Roy arrives with his luxury car in front of a large house. From the outside alone, the house looks like a palace with its magnificent buildings and large courtyard. There, Roy was greeted and welcomed by several security officers, there were even many men with frightening faces carrying weapons in their pockets, indicating that the house was very, very closely guarded.  Apparently it is the main house of the mafia boss, who is also Roy's employer, because Roy is the confidant of the mafia boss, whose job is to kill people or guard the boss's money lane, so casually, Roy walks while greeting everyone who he met there, until finally Roy arrived in front of a room with a large door.  Roy knocked on the door very carefully as if he didn't want to disturb, then suddenly a voice was heard from inside telling him to come in, so after that Roy immediately went inside.  The room inside is a very spacious workspace, with a sofa and a table for receiving guests, there are also expensive paintings on the walls. Roy, who just came, immediately approached someone who was sitting with his back to him. He was a middle-aged man, in a neat suit, and slicked back gray hair. Apparently that person was none other than the mafia boss.  "Boss, it's me, Roy."  “Oh Roy, how about your progress? Have you managed to catch the thief? "  "Not yet Boss, but I have some information about where they will go next." Roy replied.  “Hmm, alright then. Solve this problem quickly, and bring that thief before me… How dare he steal my money. ”  "Okay Boss, oh yes ... I seem to need troops to ambush that person." Roy asked permission.  “Yes, bring as many people as you want. The important thing is that the thief can be caught immediately. " Tell the Mafia Boss.  "Thank you Boss, then excuse me." Said Roy, leaving.  But before Roy is about to open the door, the boss calls Roy again.  "Roy."  Then Roy immediately turned his head, "Yes, Boss ??"  "Do not disappoint me." Said the Mafia Boss briefly with a threatening tone.  "All right Boss."  After that Roy immediately left the house of the Mafia Boss, he was relieved not to be scolded all out by the boss, and now he feels happy because he can mobilize many mafia members to trap and catch Agni and Ralph this afternoon. That meant things would become even more difficult for Agni and Ralph, but they both seemed to have their own plans which would turn against Roy.  At midday, Agni and Ralph are now seen walking on the sidewalk, with many people and vehicles passing around them, Ralph and Agni continue to walk through the shopping areas that selling various things, such as food, drinks, clothes, accessories, gadgets, and others.  With a bag attached to Agni's back, while walking, Agni seemed to be holding a black square shaped object, which was small and thin, with a small light that kept flashing on it. While continuing to observe the thing in his hand, Agni asked Ralph.  "Why is this small thing so expensive?"  "It’s fine, that important thing will be useful later. Besides we bought it illegally, so of course it's expensive. " Ralph replied.  "You have lots of acquaintances from the underworld, huh?"  "Hmm, you don't need to know."  "Oh, by the way, where are we going now? I did not think that the preparations we have to make, will be so many. "  "Of course, I know what kind of person Roy is, so we need a backup plan." Said Ralph.  Not long after, the two of them arrived at an antique shop, and the two of them immediately went inside. Agni saw the situation around him, he continued to pay attention to all the antiques on display there, such as jars, knick-knacks, various clocks, as well as old cameras. Agni seemed amazed by all of these things. But it was different with Ralph, he seemed to be walking straight towards an old man who was in the shop. Then without further ado, Ralph immediately greeted him and asked.  "Hey Sam, is Jimmy here?"  Then with a flat face, the old man named Sam immediately answered the question from Ralph. "You know this is his schedule, he doesn't want to be disturbed."  "Come on, I just need a moment with him." Ralph assured.  “No, I always prioritize the comfort of my customers. You can't bother him until he's finished. "  "Come on Sam, you and I are friends right." Said Ralph, while handing Sam some money.  Then, while stunned, Sam immediately took the money and started inviting Ralph to come with him, and Ralph immediately invited Agni to come along. A few moments later, the three of them stood in front of an ancient clock as big as a cupboard with a pendulum that moved left and right.  Without saying much, Sam immediately shifted the clock, then it turned out that behind it there was a hidden door that could be opened, so after that Sam invited them both to enter the room that was behind the door.  The room was very dark and full of barriers, with the sound of music playing to spoil the ears of everyone present. Many of the booths are covered by curtains, in which the voices of conversations between men and women can be heard. Agni looked awkward and flustered as he walked with Ralph in the room, he kept looking all over the place with a scared face.  Then suddenly a woman, scantily clad, came out of one of the booths carrying a bottle of liquor. So when he saw this, Agni could immediately conclude that this room was a place of p**********n. Then, Ralph immediately stopped the woman and asked her.  "Excuse me Miss, do you know where Jimmy is?"  "In booth number 12." The woman replied as she walked away, then Agni just smiled awkwardly when she was noticed by the woman.  Then Ralph immediately invited Agni to come to booth number 12 and opened the curtain. Apparently Jimmy was right there. Jimmy was a thin, slightly short man, with neat hair and a thin mustache on his face. Currently he is shirtless with two women who are in his arms.  When Ralph and Agni suddenly came, Jimmy was immediately shocked because he was surprised, Likewise the two women who were near him, while Agni immediately closed his eyes and turned away while saying.  “Ow wow wow! Sorry to interrupt."  Ralph, with his innocent face, immediately told the two women to come out for a moment, because he had some business with Jimmy. So now in booth 12, there are only Jimmy, Ralph, and Agni. The three of them sat facing each other talking about something.  “Are you crazy Ralph ??! You're intruding on my precious time! " Jimmy said scolding Ralph.  "Sorry, but I don't have much time right now, I really, really need your help."  "Oh, yes? I heard rumors that you are currently being chased by Mafia under Mr. Hardi Richard command " Said Jimmy.  "Ouh so the name of the Mafia Boss is Mr Hardi Richard?" Asked Agni.  "Who is this person?" Jimmy asked back.  "Introduce, he is Agni, he's my friend."  "Yes, I am his friend. Greetings." Agni replied.  "Hmm ... So Ralph, what do you need my help for?"  "You know a person named Roy, right?"  "Yes, isn't he a confidant of Mr Hardi Richard? Rumor said he was a very dangerous person. "  "Yes, my brother dealt with him and now he's even getting killed."  "Gosh, Doni ... No wonder I never heard about him for a long time." Jimmy felt sad.  "Now I want you to help me get revenge against Roy." Said Ralph.  "What? Hey, I don't want to get involved. "  "Come on, only one task." Said Agni begged.  "Hmm, but still ..." said Jimmy, looking away.  "Come on Jimmy, you're the best undercover master I've ever know." Ralph said.  "Apart from that, we'll also pay you ... Tell me the amount." Added Agni.  "Hmm, really?" Jimmy's face immediately turned happy.  Then Ralph asked Agni to step back a little to negotiate, Ralph asked Jimmy for a minute, and Jimmy allow them to do so. After that Ralph and Agni immediately spoke in hushed tones.  "Hey, are you serious about giving him money? I intend to asking help for free, as a friend. " Asked Ralph to Agni.  "Do you want to persuade him until when? We don't have much time. "  "Fine, but what if he asks for 100 million later?"  "Yes, we just give it."  "Do not! We’ll just limit the required cost to only 10 million. "  "Why are you being so stingy?"  "Don't waste the money!" Ralph said still in a hushed tone.  "Okay."  Meanwhile, Jimmy, who could not hear the conversation between the two of them, is now drinking while tidying his hair a little. A few moments later, Ralph and Agni, who had finished negotiating, immediately approached Jimmy again. And they started negotiating with Jimmy about the cost of the task Jimmy had to do.  "So, can I start proposing my price?" Asked Jimmy.  "Yes, please." Agni replied.  "Hehhe, oh yeah, by the way, i usually only work for myself and never get orders from other people ... So, my fees are very expensive, you know." Jimmy said, then feeling nervous and anxious, Agni and Ralph were silent and nodded. Agni immediately reached into the bag on his back to prepare the money worth 10 million.  Then Jimmy continued his words, "My fee is 5 million Rupiah."  "Hah?" Agni and Ralph were stunned.  Then Ralph immediately reached out to Jimmy's hand and said.  "Deal."  And finally the negotiation process has reached an agreement. Ralph immediately gave Jimmy a smartphone, which could be used to receive instructions and carry out tasks. Then Agni took out 3 million Rupiah and gave it to Ralph, then Ralph gave it to Jimmy.  "This money 3 million as guarantee, and the rest I will pay after your assignment is complete."  "OK." Said Jimmy as he accepted the money.  After that, when Agni and Ralph said goodbye to leave, Jimmy immediately called Ralph, so Ralph just turned his head to hear Jimmy's words.  Jimmy said, "I'm sorry about Doni's death." Jimmy said it with a serious facial expression, because he and Doni are good friends.  "Yes," said Ralph briefly, as he left with Agni.  Long story short, when Ralph and Agni were outside, suddenly Agni's cellphone rang, and it seemed like it was a phone call from Roy. So immediately Agni brought the cellphone screen to his ear to hear what Roy had to tell him.  "Hello."  “Hello Agni, you better prepare the money now. I'll tell you about the location of our meeting ... You have to come with Ralph, just the two of you, no one else. Remember that!"  “Then, you also shouldn't bring many men. If from a distance we see you bringing a lot of men, then we will immediately go and the meeting will be canceled. " Agni replied threateningly.   "Hehhe ... Apparently you are becoming more courageous now, right boy?”  "Of course, if we came there only to be killed, then why would we came?"  "Hmm ... Yes, I understand. Anyway, you guys just come soon, i will not messing around. The clock and place will be sent via message. " Roy, who is pressed by time, agrees to Agni's terms.  "OK." Agni replied, ending the phone call from Roy.  Then Ralph and Agni nodded at each other. After receiving instructions from Roy, Agni and Ralph immediately carried out their next plan, namely buying a suitcase and modifying the suitcase so that it could insert a small, thin, black device into the handle of the suitcase, so that Roy would not be able to find out the whereabouts of the device.  On the other hand, Roy has also prepared everything to be able to trap Ralph and Agni. The two sides had already prepared traps for each other, so they had to act smarter in order to defeat their opponents.
