[ Chapter 7 ]
The atmosphere at the mountains today seemed a little weird. Usually, there won't be anybody visiting the quiet and eerie area but due to yesterday's incident, it all changed. Many officers in in the uniforms were working hard, searching, for the suspect's body at the river. Who else if it wasn't Aum?
"We've arrested the suspect's older sister." Said Paul, one of the ballistic unit officer who just reached the side of the river. "Our people are now preparing a profile of Aum based on the information gained from the investigation with his sister later."
Rome who was looking at his subordinate working just gave a nod. He didn't speak at all.
"What's our progress here?" Paul asked as he looked around."Two helicopters, four diving squads, four police dogs??" He looked shocked."Isn't it a waste of force here, I mean just to search for one dead body?"
"Well, after what he did to Rita and our Inspector, I'm not giving him a single chance, NO MORE! Aum will never be able to escape this time!"
"Come on Rome, you saw what happened to the Vios and .. Rita, with your very own eyes. Even if this guy claims to have nine lives, I doubt he's still alive after going down a mountain with the height of 1000 feet."
Rome turned to Paul."Working at the ballistic unit really turned you into a naive man!"

The dramatic incident replayed in his brain over and over again. He was very sure that he knocked down the guy holding the hailer. He also saw how the Inspector flew into the sky before rolling down and fell into the bush, still alive then.
"Bastard! Go to hell!" He hit the stereng hard.
That was when he just realised that his car was moving towards the end of the mountain. he tried to turn around but the Vios can't be controlled anymore. The car bang onto every rocks there is on the ground till they reached the very tip of the mountain and crashed down.
"God!"
The trajectory of his view changed to 90 degree downwards. His eyes were wide open. His stomache felt like there were butterfiles for a second. In front of him layed a huge flowing river which was ready to take his life away anytime. That was when the car just fell from the tip and fell.
"No! I can't die now!" He tried opening the door.
But, even before he was able to jump out of it, his car won him by a few seconds and crashed down into the bottom of the river.
"Aaaaaarkkkk!!" The pain which is so unbearable suddenly woke him up.
"I don't want to dieeee yettttt!! I must kill that inspector firstttt!!" Aum shouted as he opened his eyes and saw himself lying at the side of the riverbed.

"How is his condition doctor?" Cherry asked to the man with the white coat who just finished examining Inspector Tik's condition.
A man at his 40's took out the stethoscope at his ears."Your husband is doing fine. Apart from his bones broke at nin different places, he is stable. None of the critical area were injured."
Cherry let out a sigh of relieve.
"It just that for the time being, he is advised to not move so much. He needs a lot of rest." The doctor continued with his speech.
She then stroke her husband's hair and face. Calmy listening to the doctor's advice.
"Now, you're advised to not move so much and that includes chasing people with your gun, Mr. Policeman."
"Yes Ma'am!" Tik answered cheekily.
"Oh yea, the media been waiting for you from thats now. They want to have a little interview with you for the News tonight. Would that be ok with you?" Asked the doctor.
Inspector Tik nodded his head showing no sign of disagreeing. As soon as the doctor went out of the wad, a huge group of reporters and cameraman rushed through the room's small door to interview him.

Aum been walking for hours. From the forest, he managed to reach the side of the city. From a place where no human could be seen, he is now at the middle of the city.
He then stopped at the side of the road. Despite the fact having his head bleeding .. bloods showering his body, no one really noticed. He don't really care. His eyes were now focusing on a large TV panel situated not far from him.
The face of the Inspector which he really hate was now playing on the screen. His hand was on cast. His leg was bandaged. Suddenly Aum became so furious.
"Bangkok Hospital Medical Centre." The name of the hospital which was just said by the reported was playing at his lips. He continued walking. This time, it was different because now, he knows where he's heading to.
