Murder In The Old Castle
139. Hard-headed Woman
The sound of the gun was shocking to Gerry. He was shocked to see the fast-paced incident not far from his place. A few minutes after the eruption, the atmosphere was quiet again. He saw the figure of Fani lying on the grass no longer moving. Meanwhile, the black-clothed figure stood back up still holding a gun. His gaze now turned towards Gerry who was in the car.
Suddenly, Gerry panicked. He immediately locked all the car doors while looking for car keys. Unfortunately he did not find. It is likely that the key was carried by Fani. Meanwhile, the figure in black clothes was getting closer. Gerry is getting out of control, considering he has nothing to protect himself. He could only survive in the car. He hopes to survive in there.
Braaak!
The figure smashed through the side car glass. His voice seemed to be breaking Gerry's heart. He huddled up, not knowing what to do. He hoped a miracle would come to save him. The figure was still standing next to the car. Apparently he was also thinking of ways to get into the car.
Suddenly from the direction of the highway, the car lights look on. A car passing at a moderate speed. Gerry wanted to ask for help, but it felt impossible. Anyway, he kept trying. Gerry put his face on the windshield as he shouted for help, hoping the passing car could hear or see him.
Apparently Gerry's efforts yielded results. The passenger of the car seemed to see Gerry who was like he was trapped in a car. He stopped his car a few meters in front of the police car that Gerry was riding in. The passenger of the car who had just stopped was a father. He was surprised to find a police car with passengers trapped inside.
The black figure immediately hid the gun, while acting as if nothing had happened. The man approached without any suspicion.
“Sorry, can I help you?” ask the father.
“It's okay, Sir. Sorry, my friend was locked in the car. We have already called a locksmith and are on our way here,” the figure said confidently.
The father was mangosteen, glancing at Gerry who looked frightened in the car. Even Gerry was seen shaking his head, as a signal not to believe the words of the figure. Gerry did not dare to get out of the car, because he was worried about the safety of the father
The father scrunched his forehead. Actually he was suspicious, but he tried to think positively. Especially when he saw the figure in black clothes smiling kindly.
“Yakin don't need help?” pick up that father again.
“We're fine, sir. Don't worry. Sorry to bother you,” said the figure.
The father of mangosteen again. This time he believed in the words of the figure in black. He immediately returned to his car. Before long, the car drove back leaving Gerry and the black figure. This time, extinct was Gerry's hope. He wished that the father could help him.
Gerry could see the black-clothed figure's face actually. In his heart he cursed, because he was very familiar with that figure. He did not expect that it turned out to be the perpetrator of all the chaos. He wanted to get out of the car and snuggle the perpetrator with his own hands. Unfortunately, the figure carried a dangerous weapon. He didn't want to die silly. He must find a way to escape from the threat of a figure in black.

Dimas had no choice. Gilda insisted on going with him. In the end, Dimas continued to run his car with a feeling of annoyance. Gilda felt innocent. He took out a piece of gum from his small bag, then offered it to Dimas.
“You look really tense. I'm sure, chewing this fruit-flavored gum can reduce your tension,” said Gilda.
“I don't want to, Gilda! Excuse me. I'm in a hurry. You better shut up, and I'll drop you off at the nearest workshop that's still open. I can't take you with me,” Dimas said as he shook his head.
Gilda stuffed the gum into her own mouth, then casually chewed.
“Workshop? My car can be handled tomorrow. Don't worry. I'm coming with you, Dimas. I want to cover the case you're working on!”
“Tomorrow? No Dim. Tomorrow's news is stale news. I'll call Wandi to get the equipment ready for the live broadcast tonight. I want the first one to cover the news. I don't want it tomorrow!”
Gilda seemed to insist on her argument. Dimas was getting irritated by the stubbornness of this young lady. As a result, he became less concentrated driving. Reno was waiting for him at the police station. Dimas drove while observing the left-right side to look for a workshop that was open.
Moments later he found a workshop that was still open, on the side of a fairly crowded street. The workshop was quite large, with bright lights on, located in a row of shophouses near the center of the crowd. He stopped his car right in front of the garage.
“Please drop!” dimas Command.
Gilda seemed unhappy with Dimas' words. He looked at the man as if he could not believe it. Unfortunately Dimas was flinching. It remained in his stance that Gilda should get out of the car.
“I .. I don't want to! I want to come with you!” answer Gilda.
“No Gilda! Sorry, this is a business that cannot be confused with your interests. Just think, what do the other cops say if they know I'm working with you? I could be accused of leaking police secrets to you. You don't go crazy!”
“Dimas, please help me! I need this news. You can reason with them, right? I promise not to say anything!”
“Sorry Gilda! I can't help you. If you want news, do it in a reasonable way. This is not how it is. Down Gilda! I'm sending you as a cop!”
Dimas ruled in a rather high tone. Inevitably, Gilda trembles with Dimas' threat. He hesitated to go down.
“You have the same heart as me, Dim?” said Gilda.
“I'm sorry, Gilda! Please appreciate me too!”
“If I don't come down, will you handcuff me and throw me in jail? Are you going to treat me like a criminal? Then handcuff me!”
Gilda thrust her hands towards Dimas. The man was really upset and lost his mind to face Gilda. He just nodded with an angry face.
“OK. Please stay in this car! I'm going to the police station by taxi!”
Dimas was very upset. He got out of the car, then walked away from the car leaving Gilda still in the car. Of course, Gilda didn't want to be left alone. He went down and called Dimas.
“Dimas wait! Don't stay with me!”
Unfortunately, Dimas did not want to hear Gilda's screams. Along with that, a blue taxi passed by. Dimas stops him, then drives away in a taxi leaving the angry Gilda. The young woman is now upset that she was left alone with Dimas' car.
