The Police
Chapter 7's

Regitta and Fernan ran down the hospital corridor. Both of their hands are still cuffed. They saw Tiva sitting limp in the waiting room.

Fernan sat down next to Tiva. "I'm sorry."

The man hugged Tiva gently. Regitta turned her eyes to the morgue door. The woman pulled Fernan's hand. The man let go of his embrace and got up following Regitta's will.

They entered the morgue and saw Dani's body stiffened with wounds to her neck and stomach.

Regitta rubbed her hair rough. "Lord, why did you take their lives."

The next day, the funeral of former Commissioner Dani was held. Tiva was released a few weeks.

After that, the police worked even harder. They went to La Nysca's hotel and investigated the cell phone Tiva had brought. Despite being severely damaged, the computer team attempted to recover the files.

Forensics team, Rizal, who was injured, lost all details about the man's DNA after the intrusion.

Regitta was completely devastated over the loss of all three of his seniors in such a short period of time. He felt ill-advised to be the new commissioner at that place.

"There's nothing in La Nysca's hotel, Commissioner, it looks like they've escaped without a trace."

The Regitta does not respond, when its subordinates report. Fernan gave the police the code to leave. The man also left.

Tiva entered the room in a home-gown. Regitta and Fernan looked over.

"I'll come with you to investigate the case" said Tiva.

"You need a leave of absence. It's only the fourth day" Regitta said.

"I couldn't have stayed silent to see my father die and the mastermind hadn't met yet!" Shouted Tiva.

"I don't want to harm you, Nativa," Regitta said with emphasis.

"I'm not going to be small! I've been prepared for all the risks since I set foot in this office!"

Regitta nodded. "All right, Nativa."

All curtains in the briefing room are closed. Meeting's starting.

Regitta started the conversation, "This is making us really hurt. Three police officers were victims. The killer is still out there. We don't know if he's alone or in a group. Bayu and Galih have installed a lot of CCTV in every corner of Bandung."

Some streets in the city have been installed by CCTV. They saw it through an in-focus light directed at the wall.

Bayu added, "The man can fight well. He can fight and match the police's abilities. Yesterday Tiva spoke to a face drawing expert. The man who killed Mr. Haris and Mr. Erwin is the same man."

Bayu shows a sketch of the suspect's face which is none other than Pradif. Fernan had the forensics team find a face that matched the sketch.

Regitta and Fernan frowned.

"Before he died, my father told me to reopen the case of Jidan Anggara" Tiva said.

Regitta.

Tiva continued, "The person who killed my father also mentioned Robi's name."

"All of those targeted are former police officers who are both taking care of gangster cases in Singapore. Mr. Robi is in Jakarta. We have to send some police to protect him" said another.

Regitta's racking her brain.

"It should be that Mr. Robi is also being interrogated for his own security" Bayu said.

Fernan turned to Regitta who gave no response.

"The person who killed Mr. Dani was clearly a gangster, then who exactly was the person who killed Mr. Haris and Mr. Erwin?" Ask the policewoman.

Tiva concluded, "Obviously, after he heard Mr. Haris and Mr. Erwin died by the man in the hat, the gangster sent assassins to kill my father. They're afraid my father leaked it to the police and asked for protection. The question is.. Who is Jidan Anggara?"

Tiva continued, "The four policemen took bribes from gangsters to keep their mouths shut."

All the police were shocked by Tiva's words.

"Don't talk recklessly" Regitta said threateningly.

"That's what the man who killed my father said."

"Do you believe it?"

"If the killer is lying, why did Papa close the Jidan Anggara case for no apparent reason?!" Tiva's voice is rising.

"You don't trust your own father?" Regitta asked with a disappointed expression.

"Papa and his team should be able to avenge the death of their colleague. Why isn't this?" Ask Tiva.

Regitta rolled her eyeballs. "You get too involved with your feelings without seeing the real facts! You're depressed, Tiva."

"I'm not depressed!"

"Tiva, keep your tone." Fernan.

Tiva.

"Commissioner, face identified!"

Regitta.

That face was on the wall. A handsome man in a full police uniform.

Tiva rounded his eyes. Yeah, that guy was the guy. The man who was fighting with her and suddenly kissed her. Bayu and Fernan frowned.

"Pradifta Fernaldi Anggara, he's a commissioner general, son of Jidan Anggara."

The deg!

"Is this a coincidence, or what?" Regitta Mumbles.

The door opened from outside. The policemen who were seriously following the meeting turned their heads in unison.

"Commissioner Regitta, why is all this happening?!" Jerk the plontos-headed man with the police chief's uniform attached to his body.

Regitta doesn't know what to answer.

Outside the police station there were many journalists and citizens who gathered like they were protesting.

The police chief and Regitta looked out the window.

"If you can't handle this case, I'll get the other team to take care of it."

"No, Mr. Wildan, we'll try to deal with it." Regitta.

Wildan turned his eyes. "Then remove the citizens and media from our office."

Regitta nodded then passed.

"By the way, why is there a commissioner general profile of Pradifta at your briefing?" Ask Wildan. Regitta's move stopped.

"If there is little evidence, don't hurt the self-esteem of many policemen anymore." After saying that, Wildan passed.
