Oscar picked up Harry’s cell phone which was lying on the table after it had just been switched back on.
“How about this? Luan dialed Harry’s mobile! And he seemed to be the first someone who noticed this cell phone had just been switched on,”
Dirga gave a little explanation.
“Yeah. That’s reasonable. Because Luan is the best programmer and hacker we’ve got. That’s why he was able to quickly find out this information.”
Oscar nodded nonchalantly.
“Then now, what should I do? Do I have to answer this call? Then what if he asks a lot of complicated questions?”
Dirga did not panic at all.
“You better turn on the speakerphone.”
Oscar obeyed Dirga’s suggestion. He took a deep breath. He also answered the phone carefully.
“Hello?” the greeting was unbelievably cold and even.
No one would suspect that someone who was answering the call was someone else. Including, Luan. A man with above-average intelligence. To the extent that it was difficult for Harry to match him.
“Harry?? Is that you? Where have you been? And why did you just activate your phone now? You’re hiding in caves and you’re afraid I’ll find you?” Luan quipped by quite sharp words.
He didn’t care if Harry was offended by his words. Luan felt entitled to complain about her annoying attitude.
Oscar raised one eyebrow.
Was it Harry a polar bear who had to hide in caves so he could sleep soundly without a single intruder bothering him?
Oscar gave a nonchalant reply, as he was pelted with successive questions.
“You are good at tracking someone’s whereabouts. Why don’t you do it?”
Dirga glared sharply.
He didn’t want Oscar to provoke Luan’s intelligence. He also didn’t want Luan to struggle to track down Harry. Luan laughed at Oscar’s swearing.
“How could I possibly for do nothing tracking you if you disappeared without a trace? You think I didn’t know that you did it on purpose?”
Dirga was very relieved that Luan didn’t seem suspicious or uncomfortable with Oscar’s sarcasm.
Luan’s new question came up after he looked closely at his computer screen.
“Are you in the office? Since when? And why did your coordinates disappear and become apparent?”
Luan must have been talking about where Harry’s cell phone was when he was at the scene.
Oscar saw Dirga’s anger.
“Do I always have to report my whereabouts to you?”
Dirga was surprised to hear this answer. Everything sounded exactly the same as what Harry might say if his friends tried to meddle in his business without being asked.
Luan wasn’t surprised by that answer.
He recognized how cold and rude Harry was when he was too lazy to answer their questions.
“I’m just curious. I want to know what you’re doing. And we believe there’s a special reason why you haven’t told anyone where you are all this time.”
This is intelligence that is sometimes useful in situations where it is needed. Luan analyzed all the possibilities himself. He believed 99 percent of Harry. 1 percent better he ignores. So, only positive thoughts are left in his mindset.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Oscar gave him a code to tell them their next move. Another call came into Harry’s cell phone like he was a fugitive.
Arthur’s name flashed on the screen. Oscar rubbed his brows.
“Did you tell everyone about my whereabouts?”
Luan flinched.
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about. I immediately contacted you when I saw that your cell phone had just been activated. I haven’t done anything else.”
Oscar had no other choice but to answer Arthur’s call. He merged the two phone calls into one. They are connected to the same telephone network.
Arthur showered Oscar with several sorts of questions.
“Where have you been? Tired of working and tired of dealing with chatty and demanding directors?”
Another phone call comes in. This time call was from Reihan. Oscar was wide-eyed. He looked to Dirga for help.
Dirga could only pull the corners of his lips. He gave a code to answer that phone call together.
Oscar rolled his eyes.
“Hello? If I knew you guys would call me. I’d rather turn this phone off again!”
“Are you alright? Why are you talking like that? Tired of hearing our voices? Then what matters to you, is it only your personal business?”
Oscar was eager to say yes. But in the end, he chose to remain silent. Followed Harry’s way of speaking which seemed to like to argue. But will get angry if he is in a bad mood.
“Who told you my whereabouts? Do you guys also like Luan? Got a tracking device pinned to my phone?”
Oscar repeatedly had to admire his cleverness in acting as Harry. He is very flexible and soulful.
Dirga wants to give applause. But he dismissed it after reviewing that the conference call was still going on.
“I heard about you from Alfin. He just spread the message in the group. Haven’t you seen it yet?”
Reihan’s words finally explained everything.
Oscar could only chuckle silently.
“I’m glad to see your concern. But I’m sure you guys don’t have to think too much about me!”
This chirp should have been taken as sarcasm even though Oscar spoke the line quite subtly.
Arthur had a different point of view.
“I don’t know what you’ve been working on this past few days. But after your business with Muliawan is over. I heard a lot of bad news about your spread. You and your grandma also just attended an impromptu meeting at the urging of the directors who suspect something bad happened to you.”
Oscar and Dirga gave each other codes.
Oscar raised his eyebrows as a code of how he should respond to Arthur’s question.
Dirga shook his head to suppress Oscar’s passionate spirit.
“This is the first time you’ve disappeared without tidings like you’re being kidnapped. You almost made us report you to the police!”
“Stop boasting, Luan! You think anyone will believe your words just now?”
Luan casually responded to Reihan’s rebuke.
“Well, we’re not really going to report you to the police. But we’re about to run into your office! Go to Dirga and find out everything from him.”
Dirga silently swallowed his saliva.
He was lucky because it didn’t happen.
“I believe one thing has happened. So tell us that!”
Oscar didn’t want this conversation to stray too far to the point where he couldn’t move slightly. Oscar caught everyone’s attention after he answered Arthur’s question simply.
“That’s not necessary. Everything is done now. I’ve managed to find Jenny. Uncle Muliawan would also not dare to seek trouble with me. Because I have done a great job finding his daughter.”
“But, how should we end this conference call after you guys know that I’m fine?”
Reihan’s sigh was heard.
“It’s great if you’re good. But make sure to let us know whatever your problem is. Because this team was made for you.”
Oscar nodded in understanding even though only Dirga could see it.
Oscar hung up the phone.
He looked at Dirga half sure and half unsure.
“Is this just the way it is?”
Oscar sat on the chair with a sigh.
“I feel like they’re like my mistress. They were worried just as much as Cleo was worried about her husband. The three of them give me goosebumps.”
