12-1 Picnic at Ancol Sea World
Note: Ancol sea world is one of the recreational places located in Jakarta
At a giant aquarium in Ancol, a girl wearing red and a well-built young man were looking at the marine life inside the aquarium.
Visitors strolled leisurely. Families with children and spouses were enjoying a refreshing outing at this tourist spot.
Nagini: "Burhan, when will you take me to Pak Jono's boarding house? I miss that family."
Burhan: "I'm ready to take you anytime. Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Nagini: "I just remembered now."
Burhan: "Alright, I'll take you tonight."
Nagini: "Thank you."
Burhan: "Okay, now let's enjoy this refreshing time first."
Nagini smiled and nodded.

12-2 Visiting Jono's Family
Burhan parked the car in front of Jono's boarding house.
Nagini and Burhan got out of the car and walked to the front door.
Before Nagini could knock, the sound of Marni, Jono's wife, crying was heard.
Marni: "Oh dear, our daughter Sawitri..."
Jono: "Yes, dear. I know. But there's nothing we can do."
Marni: "They took Sawitri, sir..."
Jono: "Yes, dear. I know..."
Jono's voice sounded sad and weak.
Nagini knocked on the door.
Knock! Knock!
Jono: "Who is it?"
Nagini: "It's me, Nagini, Pak Jono."
Hurrying footsteps were heard. The door was quickly opened.
Jono saw Nagini and Burhan standing in front of the door. He greeted them.
Jono: "Dear, this is Nagini."

12-3 Sawitri Kidnapped by Human Trafficking Syndicate
Nagini: "What happened, ma'am?"
Marni: "A group of people took Sawitri..."
Jono: "They promised her a job."
Marni: "They took Sawitri by car."
Jono: "There are already several girls inside that car."
Marni: "Their faces looked scared and resigned."
Burhan, as a police officer, naturally became suspicious. According to police intel, human trafficking has been increasingly rampant.
Burhan: "Do you know what kind of car they used to take Sawitri?"
Marni: "A black Avanza."
Burhan: "Do you know how many people took Sawitri?"
Marni: "Four tall men."
Nagini: "What do they look like, ma'am?"
Marni: "The first man is tall and bearded, with a scar on his right cheek like a knife scratch. His friends call him Bos Nano."
Jono: "The second is somewhat short and skinny, with a thick mustache, oversized clothes, and walks slightly hunched. They call him Udin Peyek."
Marni: "The third is tall and thin like a lamp post, with thick lips, a shrill but fierce voice. His friends call him Bejan."
Jono: "The fourth is short and bulky, muscles built, his clothes are tight, and he always blinks like something's in his eye. His friends call him Bandi Hulk."
Burhan and Nagini exchanged glances.
Nagini: "Do you know where they took Sawitri?"
Marni and Jono shook their heads.
Burhan: "Do you remember the license plate of that Avanza?"
Marni: "Yes, I remember. B 3457 KUB."
Burhan noted down the plate number in his small notebook.

12-4 Investigating Sawitri's Whereabouts
Nagini: "Burhan, we have to find Sawitri and the other girls."
Burhan: "Of course, Nagini. But first, we need to find out where they were taken."
Nagini: "Don't take too long, Burhan. Anything could happen to them."
Burhan: "Don't worry, Nagini."
Burhan then took out his phone and called someone.
Burhan: "Hello, Tina. Can you check on a Black Avanza car with license plate B 3457 KUB?"
Tina: "Of course I can! Please wait a moment, Pak Burhan."
At her office, Tina quickly opened her laptop.
Tina is a beautiful short-haired woman wearing glasses. She is one of the best cyber team members at the KPK.
Moments later, Burhan's phone rang.
Burhan: "Hello, Tina. What did you find?"
Tina: "The white Avanza with plate B 3457 KUB is registered under the name Kuntadi."
Burhan: "Kuntadi, the leader of the Kangkung Gang?"
Tina: "Yes, sir."
Burhan: "Isn't the Kangkung Gang more vicious than the Red and Green Gangs?"
Tina: "According to Intelligence Police yes."
Burhan: "Besides drugs and gambling, does the Kangkung Gang traffic women?"
Tina: "That's true, sir."
Burhan: "Is there anyone protecting them, making it hard to arrest them?"
Tina took a deep breath.
Tina: "No info yet on that, sir. But there is info that they do illegal business with entrepreneur Mariana."
Burhan: "Alright, Tina. Do you know where the Avanza is headed?"
Tina: "Yes. The car is headed to a lumber warehouse at Jalan Gatot Subroto No. 6."
Burhan: "Alright, Tina. Thanks for the information."
Tina: "You're welcome, sir."
Burhan closed the phone and looked at Nagini.
Burhan: "Now we know where to look for Sawitri."

Nagini: "Burhan, we have to go to the lumber warehouse immediately. We must save Sawitri and the other girls."
Burhan: "We need planning and police backup."
Nagini: "That will take too long, Burhan. They could be in danger if we're late."
Burhan: "They're armed with guns, Nagini."
Nagini: "I don't care, Burhan. We leave now!"
Burhan, seeing Nagini's worry and stubbornness, couldn't refuse.
Burhan: "Alright, we're going, Nagini."
After saying goodbye to Jono, Burhan drove toward the location.
Nagini sat silently beside Burhan. Her face tense, full of worry. Her hand touched the Poisoned Needle.

Although he left together with Nagini, realistic Burhan immediately contacted the police.
Burhan: "Hello, police? There's a kidnapping report at a lumber warehouse on Jalan Gatot Subroto. Requesting assistance."
Police: "Who's speaking?"
Burhan: "I'm Iptu Burhan. I'm heading to the scene."
Police verified that Burhan was a police officer with the rank of Iptu.
Police: "Don't act rashly, Burhan. That warehouse belongs to the Kangkung Gang. They're armed with guns."
Burhan: "Understood, sir. We will only observe. Please send assistance."
Police: "Don't move yet, Burhan. We're preparing Team 88 to head to the location!"
Burhan: "Roger, sir!"

12-7 Burhan Drives Skillfully
Burhan glanced at Nagini while holding the steering wheel. Nagini's tense expression was still visible.
The car sped along the highway, overtaking several vehicles.
Nagini: "Hurry, Burhan!"
Burhan just nodded and began slowing down as they approached the toll exit gate.
Burhan's car entered the main road; the clock showed 7:00 PM.
Finally, they arrived at the wooden warehouse on Gatot Subroto Street.
Burhan parked the car a little distance from the warehouse.
In a hurry, Nagini got out of the car.
Burhan: "Be patient, Nagini. We have to wait for backup."
Nagini: "If we don't move now, they could be in danger."
Burhan couldn't refuse Nagini's determination.
He followed her quick steps from behind, his hand releasing the pistol at his waist.
***
12-8 Storming the Kangkung Gang
The wooden warehouse was quite dark, lit only by a few small-watt lamps.
At the front door, two tall men were guarding while smoking and chatting.
Besides the two guards at the front, two others were patrolling around the warehouse.
The security was tight.
Burhan stopped walking, carefully observing the heavily guarded warehouse.
In the dim light, Burhan saw all the guards carrying pistols.
Suddenly, the two guards in front collapsed.
Unnoticed by Burhan, Nagini had just released poison needles level two, which made the two guards at the entrance faint.
Burhan gasped in admiration.
Nagini: "Quick, Burhan. We have to save Sawitri."
Nagini then ran toward the front door.
Burhan: "Don't be reckless, Nagini. We don't know how many armed people are inside."
Nagini: "If you're scared, just stay here, Burhan."
