The sound of gunfire along with the noise that occurred in the village, made Mother Azra and Damar surprised. Damar who was in the room of Mother Azra was about to ask Aleta's change attitude towards him, immediately paused by the sound of the bang.

Both of them turned their heads outside the door, feeling that something was wrong in her village, Azra's mother immediately stepped out to see the real situation. Likewise with Damar, the man was about to stand up from his seat but, one of the sturdy man held his shoulder quite firmly.

"Get your hands off!" reprimand Damar glanced towards the fingers of the hand that were stuck above his shoulders.

"Be quiet here," the man replied boldly, there was not the slightest fear in Damar's tone.

Not like because it felt arranged, Damar put away his hand with a rough brush. Then Damar stood up and was about to step up however, the man immediately confronted Damar's body.

The man was indeed assigned by the mother of Azra to protect Damar and Aleta from people who deliberately make a riot so that their hiding is not revealed from anyone. That is why he insisted on preventing Damar from leaving.

"Surge!" ketus Damar stared at the cynical man who confronted his body.

"Go past me first, if you really want to get out of here!" resolute reply.

The two exchanged glances, sharp gazes dominating their opposing minds. Until finally, Damar relented with his frustration. He clenched his hands and punched one of the tables there, as an expression of the anger he felt at this time.

Just this time, he succumbed to someone who only threatened him through the look in the eye, even Damar could not fight against him in the slightest."Shit!" as if Damar was staring.

...***...

Mother Azra got information from one of the residents, that the gatekeeper had been shot dead with a bullet stuck in his forehead. He immediately took decisive action to close the entire village without an intruder who could escape from it and look for the intruder to face him head-on.

The order was immediately carried out by the residents, they spoke to each other via HT radio and were on standby in front of the village guardrail which was then locked tightly and some split to find Devano.

Devano, who has failed to complete his duties, immediately tried to escape the place before being suspected and caught off guard by the locals. He looked for a gap with the state of unrest that occurred in the village by stepping towards the gate. However, his steps came to a halt as several residents were seen standing in front of the gate and closing and locking the gate.

Devano cursed before he finally approached the guard who lay lifeless and pretended to help some residents who were carrying the body of the guard using an emergency stretcher.

Erick and Rebecca, who had just arrived at the scene, stopped their steps as soon as they saw the guard, who had only been a few minutes ago, lifeless. Rebecca closed her mouth tightly due to her shock. He did not expect that morning to be his last meeting with the gatekeeper.

Devano's eyes squinted fiercely at Erick before he finally hid the face behind his hat. He should be able to get out of there without his disguise being exposed by Erick.

Mother Azra approached the body of the guard who was now ready to be buried with the help of Rebecca who participated in removing bullets from his head.

"Liang lahad is ready, ma'am," said one resident.

"alright. Bury the body well, yes!" mother Azra's message to some residents who have been assigned to bury the doorman.

"Please save my daughter, I beg you!" pinta the mother gave to everyone in the room.

"Mother, put her daughter to bed here, Mom! let me help you check first." Rebecca approached and asked the mother to put her in one of the empty iron beds.

Mother Azra squeaked and stopped Rebecca's action, because he never once saw a woman in white robes with glasses who became one of the villagers and he was suspicious of Rebecca and Erick, too, after Azra's mother caught the figure of Erick who was standing pecking inside the entrance.

"Stop!" he snapped, making the atmosphere in the room silent for a moment and the eyes were on the mother of Azra.

Rebecca stopped her activities as Azra's mother approached and stood before her. Rebecca stared timidly, the look in the eagle's eyes as if intimidating herself who was trying to save a little girl.

"Who are you?" he asked without further ado as he pulled the gun out of his pants pocket and pointed it at Rebecca's chin.

Everyone in the room was astonished to see Azra's mother boldly pointing a gun at her, while all they knew was Rebecca the figure of a good woman and helper, moreover, one of the residents recognized him because he had gotten help from him when Rebecca was still on duty in the village area a few years ago.

Rebecca's eyes widened violently when she saw the firearm stuck under her chin. Fear came, his body was trembling and his heart was beating fast, he almost cried there.

Erick who saw it immediately blocked the actions of Azra's mother who was considered outrageous. How not? he knew Rebecca was trying to help, but was misinterpreted by Azra's mother.

"What are you doing?" erick asked as he stood beside her. "Get rid of the gun!" Erick asked firmly followed by the look of his sharp eyes.

"You have no right to govern! This my turf. Why would an intruder like you come to this place and troublemaker?" reply Azra mother with a high enough tone.

Erick was silent because he confirmed that he was an intruder who wanted to see Damar and help him get out of the village. However, referred to as a troublemaker, he did not accept.

Erick was about to reply to the words of Azra's mother, but he had to stop because some of the people in the room opened their voices.

"She was not an intruder, but rather a nun who had served in this village!" chirp one of the citizens.

"Yes right. She's sister Rebecca," said another resident.

Mother Azra turned her head towards all the citizens who felt confident in their words. Because of the insistence of the residents, Azra's mother finally put the gun back and keep it in the pants pocket as before.

"After this, you meet me in the room!" the message before stepping out of the room.

Both legs of Rebecca limp, lucky Erick sprightly help Rebecca by supporting her body. "You okay?" erick asked worriedly looking at Rebecca's pale face.

Rebecca nodded her head slowly, one of the residents gave her a drink to relieve her fear. After a few minutes Rebecca returned to help the girl with Erick standing next to her.
