AIRPORT

"Maledetto bastardo! (You bastard!)!" shouted Benvolio in Italian.

While walking out of the airport, he kept cursing and speaking all the harsh language with his mouth.

"Pav, pick me up right now!" said Benvolio on a call connected to Pavlo.

After speaking like that, he immediately hung up the call without listening to Pavlo's answer first. Of course, Pavlo would pick him up soon even if he didn't hear Pavlo's response, and he also didn't have much patience to listen to Pavlo's 'yes' answer.

He immediately put his cell phone in the pocket of his jacket. And he has accidentally collided with a woman who also saw rushing out of the airport.

"I'm sorry, sir," she said in a tone that was not at all friendly to Benvolio, even though it was the woman who crashes Benvolio first and made them fall for a moment until they both looked into each other's eyes and made eye contact.

After saying that insincere apology, the woman left Benvolio in a hurry without saying anything else.

Benvolio's emotions were even more peaked after being treated like that by the stranger who bumped into him earlier. However, it was instantly extinguished because after he saw the face of the woman who bumped into him, he felt familiar with her face and seemed to have seen her before.

But Pavlo had arrived at the airport, and he immediately took his mind off the woman and immediately approached Pavlo.

On the way to Mint.

"What's the matter with you, Ben? Why are you just silent? I suspect you're not the Benvolio I know." Pavlo opened the conversation in the car he and Benvolio were traveling in, breaking the very lonely atmosphere.

Benvolio immediately turned to Pavlo with a very disturbed gaze at his words and said to him, "None of your business!"

Pavlo chuckled at Benvolio's nonchalant answer.

"Yes, okay, I admit I was wrong. I know you have to go on a longer annoying trip than written in the schedule because I left traces in my email. And unfortunately, it can still be tracked by the enemy," Pavlo apologized and did not justify any reasons for the mistake he made this time.

"It's good that you realize earlier before receiving your punishment. Then how is the situation here? Can you carry out the task I gave you in Shanghai while I wasn't here, Pav? Or did you fail to protect him too?" replied Benvolio casually but firmly in every sentence and question he put to Pavlo and asked for an answer from him.

Pavlo smiled and replied, "Don't worry, I have that person in custody, and now we are going to where the person you are referring to is."

But he also continued, "But Ben, there's a bit of a problem."

Benvolio was annoyed after Pavlo answered thus. He was already quite tired from his journey, and of course, he didn't expect any more trouble on this mission.

"What other problem do you mean, Pavlo?! Didn't I warn you that there should be no more mistakes in this mission?! Are you not listening to my orders now?!" said Benvolio with emotion to Pavlo.

He continued, "Why is your performance dropping like this, Pavlo?! Remember, I'm not paying you to keep making mistakes. And you know, I don't have enough patience always to tolerate those mistakes of yours!"

Pavlo sighed after being scolded and received a warning from Benvolio.

"I'm sorry, sir. The problem I'm referring to is that a close associate of the person we are guarding is at the detonation site. That woman also wants us to find her," Pavlo said in a slightly trembling voice and called Benvolio as master.

He then continued his words, "Isn't it dangerous for him if she comes directly to the crime scene to find her partner? Because we also don't know when 'they' will launch another terrorist attack in that place to divert the media and residents to prevent us from finding them."

Benvolio increasingly frustrated hearing Pavlo's statement. The plans he devised had gone a lot off the beaten path of his predictions. He had to rack his brain again to develop a new plan.

"If we still don't have a chance to catch them, then we have to create opportunities for ourselves," said Benvolio, who started thinking about his new plan to capture the 'monster lair'.

"Find the woman's partner immediately, and take care of the rest," he said again briefly, clearly, and concisely to Pavlo.

"And remember! Don't leave any traces behind our plans!" Benvolio again reminded Pavlo not to be negligent in his duties and not leave any traces or anything that could spoil his plans.

"Yes, sir, got it."

CNY Company, Shanghai, China.

The main headquarters of the CNY Company.

Mataya has arrived at her airline company in Shanghai. More precisely, at the main headquarters of the airline company, which is a place with complete facilities and very tight security, that founded her.

Vla and the staff who were there immediately greeted Mataya with bows respectfully and invited her in.

While in Surabaya, Mataya ordered Vla to take a different plane with Mataya to get there first and help Ahmed find Biserka. Because at the prosecutor's office, as we all know, there is a problem, and Mataya has to take care of it first.

"Welcome back, Miss," greeted Vla and the other staff.

Mataya ignored the greeting and immediately asked Biserka's condition, "Where is my sister? Is she okay? Where is she now? I want to meet her."

The atmosphere became silent for a moment. No one answered Mataya's question. No, to be precise, no one dared to convey the answer to her question.

Mataya sighed, and her emotions began to overflow, "I ask you all again. Where is my sister? Is she okay?!"

Once again, Mataya asked the question. However, she did not get an answer or response from Vla or his staff.

"Hey! Are you all deaf?!" Mataya shouted, now her emotions were overflowing.

"Mataya!" someone shouts from a distance calling Mataya.

Amid this tense atmosphere and filled with Mataya's overflowing emotions, Ahmed came and called out to Mataya.

Mataya immediately approached Ahmed and invited him to chat in her private room in there.

***

"Ahmed, thank you very much for contacting me and helping me find Biserka. But Ahmed, where is Biserka? I haven't seen her at all since arriving at this base. Have you found her yet?" Mataya asked Ahmed many questions about Biserka. She was apprehensive about him.

Mataya was very afraid that something terrible had happened to her twin sister.

Ahmed sighed heavily. He knows very well how much Mataya loves Biserka. He dared himself to look into Mataya's eyes and said, "I'm sorry, Mataya, I've managed to find your sister and brought her to this base. But …."

"But what, Ahmed?" asked Mataya impatiently, waiting for an answer from Ahmed.

"Biserka--"
