"Good morning, everyone. Congratulations to those of you who passed the police training at Trinity Police Academy. You have been head over heels for six months. I hope that you understand the mission-vision, and core values ​​of Trinity Police Academy:

Therefore, I hope you can work together to find out what happened. I hope that during this probationary period, you will be able to give your best for us police, and the community. That's all from me, and thank you." Mr. Jos ended his speech.

After that, we dispersed to our respective places.

"Ela!" Layzal called me. Then he asked, "How do you feel being one step closer to officially becoming a police officer?"

"Happy. Thank you for supporting me."

"You are welcome. Ela, you never eat or drink, do you?"

"I am dead if I do not eat and drink. No energy to train to be a cop. Why do you suddenly ask like that?"

"Because I've never seen you eat and drink. Never in the dorm either."

"In the dorm, I eat it in the room."

"You have violated regulation No 222," said Layzal with a laugh.

"What punishment is right for me?"

"The punishment, tonight you have to have dinner with me."

"Disagree if tonight. How about another time?"

"Where are you going tonight?"

"Patrolling around Archipelago town."

"If that were the case, it's okay. Besides, we are leaving for Lago Village tomorrow, so we have plenty of time. Yesterday I was also from there. Ela, I wonder what kind of animal has caused all the animals to die unnaturally."

"How do all the animals die?"

"The animal is still intact. It is just that there are bite marks on its body. Like being bitten by Dracula."

"Hahaha, Layzal, I just found out you like to joke. Don't tell me you autopsied all the dead animals."

"I autopsy dead animals so that I know the cause."

For a moment, I thought--it's hard to live in this world. If I go to the forest and hunt birds, I need a quintal of birds to drink their blood. Unlike goats, cows, buffaloes, and other large animals, I only need one or two. I was wrong for killing their animals without compensation. In a city of Archipelago, I eat wrong, don't eat-- I will die.

"Oi, don't daydream," said Layzal while waving his hands in front of my face.

"Ah, never mind, see you tomorrow morning."

"Be careful, Ela."

"You also be careful."

I started patrolling the town of Archipelago.

"Help," a woman screamed for help.

"Hahaha, beautiful, none is heard you," said the gangbangers.

"That's the woman in Club Euphoria. Why is she here alone?" I said softly.

I saw the gangbangers, start poking at her, "Help her or not. Help, no, help, no, hmm? Help," I rushed to help her.

"Hands up, I am a cop!"

"Hahaha, great, Bro! Two angels at once, tonight we will party."

"I'm a cop, don't mess with you guys."

"Lady, is that a real gun or a toy? Hahaha," they laughed at me. They weren't afraid of me, then one of them approached.

"Do not move, and do not come any closer! If you do, I will shoot you later."

They underestimated me, and one of them tried to hold me down, but I stopped him with my hands. After that, I twisted his hand and stepped on his feet.

"Naughty girl! Beat her, Bro!" said his friend.

The five of them attacked me. "Hiya!" I immediately fight them, kicking and punching them. At least they lost, fell, and moaned in pain on the ground.

"I have told you not to mess up with me. Now you see, you have been beaten up."

"Eh, what do you want to do with my bag?" asked the beautiful woman.

"Borrow the bag strap. My handcuff is not enough to tie five of them," for a while, I tied their hands using a bag strap. After tying their hands, I contacted Leni using the walkie-talkie.

"Hello, Leni... Where are you?"

"I'm at the coffee shop. How is it, Sist? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"What are you doing at the coffee shop?"

"Drink coffee, Sist, so that my eyes open."

"Please help me now. You come to alley no 77, near Huge Park, and don't forget to bring a police car!"

"All right, Sist! I am coming."

A moment later, Leni arrives with a police car.

"Oh, Miss Darcia! Oh, my gosh, I'm a big fan of you. Sist, please take a picture for both of us!" asked Leni, wanting to take a picture with Darcia.

"Do I look like a photographer to you? Len, you are completely unprofessional. Those crooks get into the car first before they run away!"

"They can't move. Please, please take one photo!"

"Here," I photographed both of them.

Because Leni wasn't satisfied with being photographed once, she took a selfie with Darcia. Not only that, she also asked for autographs from her. After that, Darcia left us without saying thank you.

"Who is she?"

"Sis, that's Darcia, the top model in Archipelago City. Her face plastered everywhere--how come you don't know her."

"Whatever. I'm surprised that ungrateful girls like her have fans. Including you, Len."

Leni just laughed at what I said, and after a while, we stood and chatted, then we took the gangbangers to the police station for interrogation.

Night turns to morning. Me, Layzal, Leni, and Roni went to Lago Village. We will investigate what happened in Lago Village. Inside of my heart, I laughed to myself because I was the culprit. It's too bad the culprit is with them, but they don't know it. After driving long enough, we arrived at Lago village.

"We have arrived at Lago Village. Friends, we will stay in this house for a while," said Layzal.

"We live here and not go back to the City?" I asked Layzal.

"Too far if we go back and forth from the village to the city," he replied. After that, he said, "Let's put our things first. After that, we get to work."

Hearing his words in my mind said, "Layzal Layzal! You are a workaholic man," while shaking my head.

After placing all our belongings, we immediately patrolled around Lago Village. I know it's just a waste of time. Since I have not killed any of the villagers' pets yet, there is no carcass to investigate as a cause of its death.
