The Interrogation (Franz's side)

Franz is sitting in a room painted gray, with one lamp in the middle of the room. He knows he's in the interrogation room.

One thing that he knows, is that he has to buy some time so other members can do something about this.

It's almost half an hour and they don't even care to question him.

Until, 5 minutes later, the door is opened, and they who captured them enter. He sat in front of Franz while he threw a file on the table.

Franz knows the moves because he was a detective before.

'Here we go. He will make me say something,' said Franz on his mind

"Okay, Franz, let me ask you this one question."

"Normally you need to say your name and what you're on before you question me."

"Shut up and just answer my questions."

"Let's hear it, I'll answer it if necessary."

"What do you know about a 29-ish woman, pink hair, white skin, 180 cm, who left the country almost 6 weeks ago, named Viviane Renz?"

"Who is she?"

"The former leader of the organization that you lead now."

"What organization?"

"Oh come on, is this the game that you want to play?"

"What game? I never thought that I would play a game here."

"The Open-Unity organization, the dark-web organization who we believe collect information from all over the world and keep that for themselves."

"Oh my God, did we record this? Do you think this is an action movie with a bunch of spies and federal agents and also hackers?"

"Everything is recorded Franz, and we know what you know, we know that you Viviane, and Fiona live together for over one month, so you can't leave the charge."

"Well, I don't even see if there is any charge or not."

"You know that you are compromising national security here."

"Oh, really? As far as I remember, the one who blasts the internet that they have a 1998 file is not us, it's some hacker named Izanagi and Collins."

"Well, but they say that Open-Unity is the one who holds them first."

"No, not Open-Unity, it's Unity, a hacker that has been gone for almost what now? 6 or 7 years?"

"So you do know who the one they talked about?"

"Let's say like this, I do know something about the dark world 'cause I have been friends with someone who is always watching the dark world."

"Roy Satria I presume."

"So if you don't have anything to question, let my guy leave and you just have to talk to me, even Open-Unity is the name that I used to label my office."

"Yeah, the office you use to keep their organization running."

"Running what? I honestly don't understand what's going on here."

"I've told you, you and your team are compromising the National Security."

"Have we?"

"Franz we don't joke here. I can contain your sister and her fiancé for conspiracy."

"Did conspiracy work in Indonesia? We're living in conspiracy every single day, none of the government talks about the truth and always covering scandals with internet viral mostly tik-tok. Sir, this is not America, people don't do conspiracy they already know, that their whole life is a conspiracy but they do celebrity news, that's what you always do. They don't care about hackers, or what happened in 1998, most Gen Z and Millennials don't care about that, and please remember, next year is the election year, you can not use us for your conspiracy, you need celebrities, that will work."

"Watch your mouth, officer."

"Officer? Me? No, don't even call me like that, I barely know you guys, as far as I remember, you don't even say who you are. Are you STI? I don't think so cause I never hit them, National Intelligent? I don't think you are one of them, so tell me, who are you and why am I here?"

"Back to square one, I know you know Viviane Renz, and 6 weeks ago she walked out of this country and I need to talk to her now, you know what cause she holds all the information that the Government needs."

"What information to be exact? How my parents have been killed or some dirty politicians?"

"You admit it, that you know her?"

"Well, I know Viviane, a 14-year-old girl that my parents brought home, lived in my house for over a month, and someday my parents took Vivi from her bedroom and drove out of the house. 5 hours later the police came to our house and told us that our parents were dead and Viviane was gone, leaving without a trace. And you think I know something about that? Let me ask you, do you know what it feels like to explain to your sister who is 12 years old that she will become an orphan? Do you know how that feels?"

"And because of that, you became a police right?"

"Wow, just like that, you just asked me another question?"

"I told you, I will ask questions."

"Fine, I became Police to read my parent's files, yeah so what? They never find evidence so yeah I got out, and there's never recorded anything about Vivi. What else do you want to know? When was the first time I slept with a woman, or when was the first time I started smoking, or what else?"

"Franz! I need you to call Viviane so she can permit us to access the Night Baron."

"Huh, so that's what you are looking at."

"Can you do that for me?"

"Who are you?"

"I can't expose myself."

"I know you can't, but let me give you a scenario, okay?"

The man who talked to Franz raised his hands as if he let Franz talk freely.

"If you assume, that I am sort of replacing Venice to lead some hacker organization a huge one by the way in ASEAN, who also associates with someone known as the child of the hacker of all time, Vic, and also Baron who created Night Baron, and you think if one of my guys, doesn't give them at least a sign that we online, they will cut us off and deactivate our id and password, you get what I mean?"

"How much time do we have?"

"Less than 1 and half hours, and if I'm not mistaken you have taken us like 2 and half hours, ah, it's 3 isn't it?"

"So you deceived me and bought some time?"

"Well, I'm not, just playing something, how's that sound?"

"I can force you to open it."

"No, you can't, it has to be on our main computer, even if you can get us on a helicopter, you still can't make it in time."

"You played me are you?"

"Well, like I told you, it's just a scenario. It doesn't mean it's true. So let my guys go, and tell me what the hell-"

Brak~!

"Franz, stop saying anything and you coming with us."
