CHAPTER 29
BRUMS
Drake entered the police station's courtyard to look for information. He intends to ask about the missing child to one of his old friends who became a policeman there.
"Is that you Drake! Where have you been all this time?" greet someone full of longing.
"Hey, Arthur," Drake approached Arthur with a laugh and they embraced.
After removing the kangen, Drake began to express the intention of his arrival, "Well, I'm here to ask for your help."
"Help? What'sthat?"
"Dries. Em, has there been someone making a report about a missing child?"
"Lost child? Wait a minute, come with me. I'll go check on him first" Arthur took Drake to his desk.
SRET
After Arthur checks the incoming report for several weeks, he gets ten cases of child loss.
"There are about ten cases we've dealt with. Look at it for yourself" said Arthur.
"Can I?"
"certain."
Drake also checked the reports of the loss made by several families. Of the many, he finds Samuel's name with a photo of a missing child that looks exactly like Joy.
"This guy. Is he looking for this kid?" drake asked while taking a picture of Samuel on the computer with his cell phone.
"really. He said his uncle ran away from home after stealing his watch."
"Stole?"
"Hm. That's what he said."
Drake moved his seat close to Arthur.
"Arthur, if I tell you anything beyond your reasoning, would you believe me?"
"Eh? Is something going on?"
"Hm. There's something important for you to know. But I'm asking, you're not rash and trust me."
Arthur looked at his friend carefully. Since High School, he and Drake have been close friends. Only after graduation, he loses contact with her because Drake ran away from home.
"Hm. I trust you. So say it," Arthur nodded confidently.
"Do you see this kid?"
"yeah. It says here his name is Joy."
Drake nodded, "He's in my house."
"What??"
"Actually, some time ago I managed to save him from an accident," Drake tried to speak softly.
"Accident?"
"Hm. He glided inside a car that was speeding towards the road. Strangely enough, no one was driving the car."
"You mean, he's alone in the car at high speed, right?"
"That's right," Drake flicked his finger.
"In that case, someone did it intentionally. Then, how's it going?"
"He is safe and sound. But to my dismay, he listened to me for a conversation he had heard before. About someone who beat up his parents and ordered to kill him."
"What's? You sure about that?"
"Yes. You can come to my house to see it. But remember, don't let anyone else know about her whereabouts that currently live with me."
"alright. I'll stop by later after work. I need to listen to everything myself."
"alright. I'll go first then" Drake patted Arthur's left arm.
"Hm. See you later."
Just as Drake was about to leave, came a man in a tie accompanied by some of his men dressed in black.
"How did you develop in the search for my nephew?" sam asked as he sat in the front seat of Arthur's desk.
Drake turned around and abandoned his intention to leave. He recognized the face after taking a picture of it from Arthur's computer a few minutes ago.
"Em, for now we are still trying to find him" replied Park, a friend of Arthur's office.
"Aissh, why is it melting? Last week you said you were still in search, it's still the same now. So what are you all doing??!" Sam kicked the table shouting at all the police officers who were there.
"please calm. You're at the police station. You better take care of your attitude" said Arthur.
"Ck," Sam clicked his tongue in annoyance.
Actually, she was looking for Joy just to get her fingerprint. Because, to move the name of the ownership of the company, he still needs a stamp and approval from Joy.
Having not had satisfactory results, Samuel left after making a noise.
After things calmed down, Drake waved at Arthur as he walked out, "Don't forget about tonight!"
Arthur nodded and waved his hand back.

SLURRPPP
"Aaachhh." The voice as Drake sipped his hot coffee while sitting on the dining chair.
"Uncle, why did you ask me to sit here?"
"There's someone who wants to meet you," Drake replied casually.
"Who, uncle?"
"Just wait. He's coming soon."
Joy, who was sitting next to Drake, nodded her head and shook her hanging legs. Occasionally he sucks a chocolate milk plan in his glass.

PIP
Hearing the bell ringing, Drake got up from his seat.
"You wait here. I'll open the door for a second."
Drake opened the door for the guests he was waiting for. Tonight, there are no overtime hours. So Arthur can stop by Drake's house as he promised.
"Let's go in."
"Joy, introduce. He's my friend, his name's uncle Arthur."
"Aahh, my name is Joy. Nice to meet you, uncle."
Arthur smiled as he sat next to Joy, "So, you're Joy?"
"Yes," Joy kept a little distance.
"You live here? Where's your house?" ask Arthur again.
"Hm. I live with my new uncle. It's also more fun here."
"That's it, huh? Your house? Em, how's your mom and dad? Did you tell them you'd rather stay at Uncle Drake's?"
Joy looked sad, "Uncle Sam beat my mom and dad in the head."
"Hahaha, accept your death Brandon. Take it easy, I will replace your position and lead the company well. Your legacy assets, will be mine."
"No! Don't hurt my son!"
"Make it as if he had a pure accident. With the death of this little heir, everyone can't bother me."
Joy repeated the recording of the conversation she heard. However, after saying all that, Joy's body became limp. Drake hurriedly caught the small body.
"You okay, Joy?"
The limp Joy simply nodded while leaning against Drake's arm.
"I understand. I think this kid said something he really heard before" Arthur said.
"Hm. What do I do after this? Is it okay to take her to stay with me for a while?"
"Your decision is correct, Drake. Looks like, you'll have to protect this boy until the problem is over. If I look, the case is pretty serious. The man named Samuel seemed to be hunting this kid for something."
"I think the same. Clearly, they're after the legacy Joy's parents left."
Arthur kept quiet and thought.
"Oh yeah, you can find out the lawyer. If he's the heir to a rich family, there's certainly a lawyer who has the authority to take care of all his rights."
"You're right. I'll start there."
"Good."
•••••••
CRAK..
Drake is mowing the weeds that grow in his yard using a garden scissors.
While concentrating, someone came and leaned against the wall of the fence. The man smiled watching the busyness that Drake was doing.
"Well, you're very diligent" said Luna.
"You? What the hell are you doing there? Here dong, mending help me uproot the grass," Drake said.
"Religion. It's pretty neat this way where you can dirty yourself with all that. Huff, it's eight. I'll go first, yeah. Oh yeah, are you washing your own clothes now? I've been checking your motorcycle's laundry for a few days, but there's nothing I've found, '" Luna wondered.
"Hmm." Drake murmured.
"Oohh, so,,,"
"Why do you miss the moment when you washed my clothes?" Drake stood up while hiding something behind his back.
"Sad, how painful."
Drake walked over to Luna. Then intentionally and suddenly, he thrust something right in front of Luna's face.
"YYYAAAA!! U caterpillar! Disgusting caterpillars!" Luna screamed in fear at the sight of the squirming green caterpillar. His face became red from being completely scared and amused.
Even worse, Drake threw the snake until it stuck and landed on the uniform worn by Luna. Precisely in the chest.
"Yeah! KYYAA! KYYAAAA!" Luna jumped up and shouted in fear while trying to knock the caterpillar out of her body.
"DRAAAAAAKKKKEEE!!!"
Seeing Luna's excessive expression of fear, Drake felt regret. At first he laughed and smiled widely, in just a few minutes the happy smile changed into a wry smile.
He quickly took the caterpillar back and threw it in the bushes.
After Drake removes the caterpillar from his uniform, Luna immediately kicks Drake's left leg shin.
DUKK!
"Aduuuhh." cried Drake as he bent down to hold his leg.
"Feel my vengeance! How dare to scare me with that disgusting caterpillar" said Luna. He still shuddered to imagine the green caterpillar's forehead.
"Ehehehe, yes, sorry,,"
"Oh!!" Luna trace her waist.
DRAP
"What's the noise? Looks like you guys just had a fight?" Terra came while sucking on a lollipop.
"He scared me with a green caterpillar. Fuck up! Just piss me off" Luna grumbled as she left Drake's house.
"Did? Seriously Drake?"
"Ehehehe,," Drake hit his head.
"Ish ish ish! You're this asshole. Already knowing that Luna was afraid of such things, you still covered her," Terra elbowed Drake's stomach.
"I didn't know that she would be that scared," Drake continued to watch Luna who was already far away from him.
"You're insensitive! He was afraid of lizards, of course he was afraid of such a chewy thing."
"K spongy?"
Terra stared at Drake. His gaze alternately stared and pointed towards the shorts above the knee that Drake wore with his chin.
"A what are you looking at?" Drake spontaneously closed the anus with his hand.
Terra just smiled. Then walk away giggling.
"Huffa.." Drake sighed while staring Terra away.
