"Yusuf isn't going with Jon?" asked Jaka, who was wearing a bomber jacket with gray trousers. "You're the only one coming?"

"Yeah, it's just me," said Joni, who was still wearing her school uniform, sitting next to Jaka while taking a deep breath.

"What's wrong? You look really weak, Jon, are you still not okay with Amel?"

Their eyes looked at each other, Jaka who smiled quite understood the relationship between Amel and Joni, even though Joni didn't say anything.

"Jon, I'm a person who doesn't like to interfere, but as a friend I also don't want to see you like this all the time. Moreover, I don't think it's good if you keep being like this with Amel. As far as I know, bad communication is always the trigger for the reason the end of a relationship."

"I want that too, Jak, but Amel doesn't want to talk to me about anything. In fact, if she had told me directly, it wouldn't have ended in a complicated way like this. Why do women always complicate simple situations? I don't understand the way they think anymore."

"That's how a woman Joni is. Apart from infidelity, things like this are what sometimes make a relationship fail. Having a relationship is not just about mutual love and longing, it's about making two minds become one heart, women and men have their own way of thinking respectively, sometimes there is nothing wrong with the way both of them think, but there are always simple things that will be questioned, whether it is a lack of sensitivity in you, or mistakes that you are not aware of, or maybe it could be because of it her (Amel) just want to fight like normal lovers do." Jaka felt concerned about his friend's relationship, but there was nothing that could be done because it was a problem between Joni and Amel, they had to solve it themselves. "I also don't really understand relationships between men and women because I've never been in a relationship with anyone. I'm sorry if what I said didn't help anything."

"No problem buddy, thanks!"

While waiting for the other group members, under the stairs of Jaka's house, Joni sat on the stairs and pondered the fate of his relationship with Amel while Jaka stood next to him, leaning against the wall behind him while smoking a cigarette.

"It's a shame that Yusuf didn't come, having him at least has given me confidence to win this war. Previously he always accepted my invitation, this time why did he suddenly reject my invitation? Do you know the reason, Jon?"

"Yusuf told me because it was just a stupid child's war. I also agree with you that he would provide tremendous help in this war, but he only told me to tell you to stop doing useless things and start studying well. He "You must have said that because you saw your score drop on the previous exam."

Jaka chuckled, cigarette smoke coming out of his mouth, "I don't know why I don't feel angry hearing that, in fact I agree with his opinion that this is just a stupid child's war. But he himself should also know that I didn't do this. "My life will suffer. In this slum place, I don't want to see my grandmother and sister suffer again like before," he said, throwing away his long cigarette. Because it was on a small street, almost all the members had gathered and filled the street.

"When are we leaving boss?" asked one of his group members who was holding a wooden block in his hand.

"Let's go now, tell that stupid group who they are dealing with."

Meanwhile on the other side, in the afternoon where day would soon be replaced by dark night, Yusuf parked his motorbike on the shoulder of the road, he had arrived at the location given by Joni. To arrive at the location, he had to use the maps on his smartphone. He could hear the cellphone assistant repeatedly saying 'You have arrived at your destination.'

The distance was quite far because it took almost half an hour for him to arrive at the location.

His eyes glanced left and right, looking for Joni and Jaka and their group. Joni sent a message that today he and Jaka were going to meet the headquarters of the group that always threatened Jaka's group. But he did not explain in detail where his base was located.,

"He thinks I am an all-knowing god," said Yusuf irritably.

Yusuf got off his motorbike intending to look for Joni and Jaka on foot because it was a little difficult to enter the small alleys considering the size of his motorbike. According to him, just staying silent would not allow him to find them, especially since it was impossible to send a message because the two of them were probably busy fighting with another group.

Unlike on the street where there were still a few people passing by, in this alley it was quite quiet and deserted, he didn't meet a single person. Is it because this alley is crowded with large buildings, and there are no residents living in this place, but after walking down this alley he finally understands why no one wants to pass through this alley.

Far from the main street, a group of young people with a sloppy appearance were seen who were under the influence of alcohol. Several of them could be seen lying on the side of this alley, with several empty bottles of alcoholic drinks lying next to them. Yusuf's eyes also saw them inhaling what he believed to be drugs and glue? why do they suck glue?

"Hey!" said one of them, staggering towards Yusuf. "If you want to go this way, do you have to pay?"

A foul odor wafted through Yusuf's nose as soon as the young man stood near him, especially as the smell got stronger every time the young man spoke to him, "Get away from me damn it!" he ordered because he could no longer smell the young man's stench. No wonder no one dares to cross this alley, apart from being afraid of being hit by a bunch of rubbish, they also certainly can't stand the smell of the rotten rubbish.

"What?" The young man raised his voice as he took out a small knife from under his clothes. "Try talking again like before if you want me to stab you with a knife-"

Not wanting to inhale the foul odor from the young man's body for too long, Yusuf swiftly took out a gun with a silencer installed and shot the young man straight in the head. And his colleagues who were lying suddenly got up and wanted to run away, but before they could get away, Yusuf shot bullets into their bodies. Not a single bullet he fired missed, all of them hit the target.

"This world is already corrupt, that's why I should make this world disappear quickly, you trash."

He took a deep breath. Unfortunately, he had to clean up their bodies so that no one else would find them, because if the police found their bodies and it got into the news, it would be a bit troublesome if Alice found out. Luckily in this country not all places were not installed with CCTV cameras, so he could easily hide these corpses. Even though he was a little lazy about touching their bodies because he had to smell the rotten scent of these stupid children.

"I shouldn't have killed them," he regretted as he dragged their bodies lazily, the smell of dirt on their bodies leaving a mark on his wrist. He really regretted that he didn't bring a pair of gloves and a mask to minimize this kind of incident, this was a fatal mistake for him.

While he was cleaning up the blood stains that had pooled on the street, he heard the sound of sharp weapons elsewhere. Suddenly his face looked panicked, no longer caring about the blood that was still pooling, he immediately went to where the sound came from. Maybe Alice would be angry if this incident made the country's headlines, but put Alice aside for a moment because right now her colleagues' lives might be in danger.

Joni and Jaka may have experience fighting with their bare hands or with weapons such as knives and others, but they have no real experience fighting people who hold firearms, especially Jaka who has never touched any type of firearm.

Hearing from the loudness of the echo, he was quite sure that it came from inside a building not too far from where he was. Coincidentally enough, there was only one access door to the building on this street, and without thinking, Yusuf immediately entered the building through that door. Unexpected things happened as soon as he entered the building, there were many human bodies lying unconscious, looking at the wounds he felt sure that they had been attacked with blunt objects, even though they were unconscious at least their lives were not threatened.

In one of the large rooms, he saw a large man almost the same height as him pointing a gun at Jaka and Joni who were in front of the man. I don't know what they were talking about, but Yusuf was grateful that the man didn't immediately pull the trigger, which made it easier for Yusuf to stop his intention to kill the man.

He quickly secured the gun, kicked the man's legs until they fell to their knees, then ended it by attacking the back of his neck. He did all this in the blink of an eye, even the man holding the gun almost didn't have time to react.

Joni and Jaka looked at Yusuf with expressions of awe and surprise, how could Yusuf do all that so quickly? From their point of view, they no longer see Yusuf as someone who is good at fighting, but as a former special unit officer.

"Am I late?"
