"You cant stand a spicy? How weak you are Lieutenant Karram..." Rizhal said in flat expression
Karram try to defend that, "eyy! Im not weak! Blame my stomach for not being able to tolerate much spicy food" he said try to give logic reason
"Come on guys, we should leave before Karram shitting in the car" Yanto said in joking tone
"Oy! You can-" Karram said before the screams from the girl happened and several terrorists entered the store from escalator. "Get down!" the terrorist shout

"Theyre crazy!" Karram shout in suprised
"We cant stay here any longer...Our ammo is very limited" Yanto said in concern while continued carrying Raden on his back
They continued to move trying to open a way to shoot the remaining terrorists.Before one of the terrorists was attacked by surprise from beside Yanto, Raden reflex shoot with then handgun that still in his hand. Yanto suprised and proud to Raden,"thanks for the backup, son" he said with smile
They kept running until they reached the parking lot hallway leading out, "where almost there!" Karram shout with full hope. Suddenly a jeep came from the front, making them stop running, "go back! Go back! Shit!!" Rizhal shout before the car hit another car until it pinned Rizhal and with a loud bang, the car rolled over and flipped over
Raden was thrown and trapped under the car while Yanto and Karram try to get up to against 4 Terrorists who got out of the car
Karram managed to shoot one but one of the terrorists tried to quickly point a gun at him which made Yanto move fast kick that Terrorist
A mob attack occurred, one terrorist shot Yanto in the shoulder which made it difficult for him to move while Karram continued to try to push away the Terrorist weapons away
Raden, even though he was afraid, kept forcing himself, he knew he had to help, He crawled quickly to pick up the fallen gun and aimed, Bang! Bang! Bang! gunshots were heard killing one of the terrorists,gunshots were heard killing one of the terrorists and Yanto quickly kick the wrong leg of the terrorist who was ganging up on Karram and they both killed the terrorists.
They were exhausted and Karram quickly checked on Rizhal who was still trapped between the cars, "Rizhal! You alive, come one we need to leave!" Karram said try to push the car

"Shut the fuck up! Ill take you alive!" Karram Said is still trying hard to push his car with Yanto's help
"Just fucking leave me! Cant let Raden die here..." Rizhal said while looking at Raden, "listen kid... I know you dont like this, you have to leave!" Raden said try to convince him
When the fire has spread from the leaking petrol, "LEAVE!!" Rizhal shout while Yanto start to pick up Raden to run, "Karram!" Yanto said warn Karram to go
Karram felt a dilemma and was annoyed by this, Karram immediately run and at that time the car exploded Slowly the explosion hit Rizhal and the car near him
