The Secret

Nine

  Sabrina headed to the place where the drug was sold, but according to the pharmacy keeper, Mr Iwan had not ordered drugs from them for a long time.

  "It's been almost a month," she said.

"We think he has moved or...."

  The words stopped. Sabrina knew what the young girl in front of her would say. She thought Mr. Iwan was dead. Sabrina then took out the remaining tube of medicine she had taken from Mr. Iwan's house.

"Can you check what medicine this is?"

  The employee nodded, then hurried inside. A few moments later, she returned with a more mature bespectacled woman.

 "This is not a drug, but a poison. A very dangerous poison because it is addictive for the user. People who drink it will feel a lot of pain if they stop, but if they continue it will result in death. Even though they know the risks, the user can't stop, because they can't stand the pain. who whacked the body," explained that woman.

  Sabrina returns to the office and tells Kanaya the findings.

  "The killer was really thorough and great. He had expected this, because he had prepared the poison. He couldn't kill directly like the other victims, but Mr Iwan would still die from the poison," said Kanaya while looked at the medicine bottle found in Mr Iwan's pocket. Given its addictive nature, although dangerous, the man had ordered in large quantities.

  "We have to follow the trail of this drug. Maybe we can find the culprit," said Sabrina.

Kanaya shook her head.

  "I've told our men to do it, but the drug dealers who are in prison don't recognize this either. Maybe it's a new drug or the killer is so smart he made his own."

Sabrina took a deep breath.

  "That means another dead end?"

  "No, there is one more person we can ask. Mr. Iwan himself. We have to wait for him to wake up. He can tell us where this medicine came from."

  The man was wearing a black suit. His eyes were wary looking around. For a moment, his expression changed to annoyance when he found several people on standby in front of the room.

  'They guarded the criminal with their lives. It just annoys me," he said as he walked away. The hat is worn to cover part of the face.

'You damned! Then I have no other choice.'

***

  The man with thin gray hair can't be calm now. The fact that he is currently far from home. Yesterday, when he received a similar threatening letter with his colleagues who had died horribly, he immediately acted quickly.

  The police who received the report then decided to transfer him to a safe house. The location of the building is remote and not easy to find. The winding and forked roads can lead people astray.

  He should have felt safe, because everything had convinced the killer that he couldn't find him, but for some reason a feeling of unease always haunted him. Maybe before the killer was caught, he wouldn't really feel safe.

  'Right!!! Just look at what happened to Santoso and Iwan! They thought they were safe, but the killer could still come and kill both of them.'

   The thin and slightly bent man then sat back down in the chair. Trying to calm himself down by saying the killer wouldn't be able to carry out his intentions, but deep down the feeling of misgivings was still bugging him.

   Not far outside the house, hiding in the pitch black night, a mysterious figure in a sinister mask and black robe was watching. A smile appeared on his face.

'When death comes for you, you won't be able to run or hide.'

***

   Sabrina has just arrived at the hospital where Mr. Iwan is being treated. They must remain vigilant and alert to the possibility that the assassin will appear to complete the failed mission.

   "You've recovered apparently," said someone surprising the girl.

Sabrina immediately turned her head and met the eyes of a young man she did not know.

   "Who are you?" asked the girl trying to remember hard. However, the young man who came over just laughed.

   "Don't worry about it. I just want to make sure you're okay. All right, I'm leaving now!"

   The unknown man then waved his hand.

   "Miss, you don't know her? She was the one who brought you here that night when you were injured," said a nurse who was standing near Sabrina.

    The girl was startled and immediately gave chase. Luckily, the young man hadn't gotten very far.

   "Hey you, wait a minute!" called Sabrina loudly. The young man stopped and turned to look at her with a small smile.

***

   Luca had it all figured out. He knew the young girl would be after him. Yesterday, when he heard the news about what happened to Mr. Iwan on television, he did not want to waste the opportunity.

   In addition to meeting again with Sabrina, he also wanted to know about Pak Iwan's condition, which was deliberately kept secret on the news. His heart was furious when he found the old man was still alive, but all that annoyance disappeared when he saw Sabrina walking into the hospital.

   "So you really helped me?" Sabrina asked while looking at the man in front of her.

    The man nodded.

"My name is Luke," he said simply as he held out his hand.

   "Sabrina," the girl said as she welcomed the outstretched hand.

   "So you really recovered? At that time you just left, even though I only came home for a while," said Luke.

   Sabrina nodded.

"At that time, I actually wanted to wait, but you haven't come yet, I immediately left. I'm sorry, I heard from the nurse you came not long after that."

   Luke waved his hand while laughing widely.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that you're healed. Then, today why did you come here? Did your wound have a problem or someone wants to harm you again?"

   The girl shook her head.

"No, not me, it's just that an acquaintance of mine is sick and being treated here."

  "Hm, then, you must be in a hurry, alright? I'll excuse myself now, I'm relieved that you're okay," said Luke as he rushed over.

  "Wait! Here's my card! Can you contact me?" asked Sabrina handing her her business card.

   Luke smiled as he read the words printed on the card.

"You're a detective, I have to be careful then."

  "Why?"

  "I may want commit a crime, just because I want to meet you."

  Sabrina looked at the man sharply, while Luke laughed heartily.

  "That seduction of yours really is of no good! Have you never seduced a woman before?"

  "No! You're the first," said Luke with a look that turned serious.

  The blush that graced Sabrina's face made Luca smile again.

  "Okay, I'll go first! You should also go see your relative immediately. Give him my regards!" Luke exclaimed as he walked away.

  Sabrina only nodded slowly.

***

  Luke walked slowly while smiling and whistling a little. Several people turned to look at the handsome young man. However, Luca didn't care. He looked back at the card in his hand.

  'Sabrina, as a detective you look quite tough, but as a woman, it turns out to be so easy to conquer your heart.'
