The Long Night of Amelia
Chapter 50: Hit and Run...

Amelia was walking home to her boarding house that night. He came home from the office quite late. A senior journalist took him to the field to pursue political news. He cannot refuse it. As a part-time child, she just followed him. Who knows this will be the way for him to be recruited into permanent and full-time employees in that place. The pay will be more than what he is getting at the moment.

He was walking towards the alley towards his boarding house. But, right on a quiet street and not a single street light illuminated, a sedan car was running behind Amelia. Amelia could see the headlights of the car shining towards her. He looked back and not for a few seconds...

Brakes...

The car hit him. Thankfully, Amelia moved aside. But still the back foot on the right side of the car. The car grazed him quite hard, so Amelia fell on the side of the road. He grimaced in pain. The sedan bumper hit him.

Amelia remained silent for a moment on the quiet street. The streetlight was dead a long time ago. He could not see the license plate number or the characteristics of the car. He only knew it was a sedan. Amelia looked at her feet. There is no blood flowing. Fortunately, even when he tried to stand, his right leg felt like swelling and sprained pain.. But he can still force a walk. He was worried in case there were bad people in this desolate area. Lucky distance to his boarding from where he fell, not far. Just a little more he'll get to his boarding house. He walked around with a little dragging.

In her room, Amelia had changed clothes. He noticed swelling and bruising on the back of his knee. The pain he felt. He compresses it with cold water for a moment, then smears it with anti-inflammatory ointment.The taste of menthol makes a comfortable cold on the wound. On his palms and elbows were minor scratches. This was because he was trying to restrain himself when the sedan drove towards him unexpectedly. Now Amelia is trying to rest. He threw himself on his bed. His eyes try to close. Every time he closed his eyes, the shadow of the car lights that shone brightly on the dark road always flashed clearly in his mind.

While...

Nun far away somewhere ...

" okay. Where's the key?", replied the other man in front of him. The man in the black jacket gave her the car keys she asked for. He just rented a car. The man had planned everything carefully. He knows who Amelia is and where she lives. He prepares everything. Even the road that the girl used to walk was known. Fortunately, the road did not have a street lamp that lit nearby, until the action grazed the woman successfully. He had no intention of killing the girl. He just wanted to scare the woman and give her a deterrent effect.

Now he is back riding a motorbike that he left in a workshop that also offers car rental services.

In one of the rooms in a simple house...

Junta is still struggling with his laptop. He is making a scheme that is easily understood from the results of his investigation of the murder case he handled.

"Hm...Reni and Putri.they stay one boarding house together. Princess ? Does he also know about Reni and Anto's relationship ? Or.don't-don't this woman know anything more about Reni..Uh! I had to approach him.find out how far he knew Reni his co-worker and boarding friend.", Junta struggled with his own thoughts.

Junta replayed all the videos and recordings he had obtained so far. He researched everything carefully. Until.he only realized.he passed something from the evidence he had so far.
