Agile

Good To Bad

- 1991 -

"I'm not satisfied, Hazim." Detective Sam puts today's newspaper onto the table, showing the front page to Detective Hazim.

Detective Hazim who is facing the table changes his vision to the newspaper Detective Sam brought. He removed his black glasses and puts it on the table beside the newspaper. "Heh." Detective Hazim smiled. The headlines shows 'CEO Kills Wife , Friend' "So he got away because of.."

"OK, I know it's my fault. But I was quite shocked during that time." Detective Sam completes Detective Hazim's sentence.

"Because a killer didn't killed you?"

"Now, all evidence points towards Zarith and he's still out there."

Tuk! Tuk!

Inspector Hajiq and Inspector Lina walks in with a few plastic files.

"We have got some new information about the suspect." said Inspector Hajiq while putting the files on the table.

"For now, we still can't contact his close relatives. Or perhaps he doesn't have anymore relatives." continued Inspector Raihana.

Detective Sam took out some pictures of Zarith from the plastic file. It's pictures from when he's in secondary school. There's a picture of him on stage receiving a medal for the best student award. But there's one picture that got Detective Sam's attention : Zarith receiving a trophy for becoming the champion of the interstate martial arts competition.

"This." Detective Sam was shocked. Something came out from his memory. "Zarith. Yes! Muhammad Zarith!" Detective Sam smiled alone. Everyone in the room is quite confused with Detective Sam.

"Yes, he is Muhammad Zarith. What's wrong with you, Sam?" asked Detective Hazim while raising his eyebrows.

"During this competition. The Interstate Martial Arts Competition. I faced him in the finals. I just remembered. I represented my school at that time. I know him, he's really good at martial arts. He's the champion of the competition. During that time.."

------------------------

The cheers of the crowd filled the hall of SMK Padang Tembak who is hosting the Interstate Martial Arts Competition. That day is the last day for the competition. The final round. Sam versus Zarith. Both of them representing their schools.

The bell rings. The fight begins. Both of them attacked at the same time. Punches. Kicks. Every attack is done with full power. Every hit will get a point. Both of them are agile. The crowd is fascinated by their skills.

Zarith delivers a punch. Sam immediately kicks his hand aside and kicks his chest with a back kick. Zarith is pushed backwards. Sam uses this opportunity to its fullest.

Powww!

Death Spin.

Zarith rolled onto the floor. Sam is already running out of breath. He used a lot of energy doing that Death Spin.

Wooaah!

The crowds cheered louder. Sam's eyes can't believe what he's seeing. Shocked mixed with proud.

Zarith stood back up. It's either Zarith is one tough cookie or Sam's Death Spin is weak.

Zarith dashes towards Sam, launching a flying kick towards Sam's chest. Sam fell down. Weak. He couldn't fight anymore. Zarith won as the champion. Sam accepts his defeat. Atleast he didn't lose to someone weak. Someone that will make his defeat seemed useless.

-----------------------

"Woah. That guy's seems good." said Detective Hazim.

"What happened to you, Zarith?" asked Detective Sam. There's a tone of disappointment in his voice.

"OK, if there are anymore information you'd like to show us, don't hesitate to tell us immediately." said Detective Hazim.

"Okay, Hazim. If there's nothing else to do for now, we'll leave you two alone." said Inspector Hajiq.

"Oh yeah. Raihana, dinner?" asked Detective Hazim suddenly. Detective Sam coughed.

"OK, but can you pick me up? 8 o'clock right?"

"Yes. 8 o'clock." replied Detective Hazim while winking at Inspector Raihana. Inspector Raihana blushed.

"Thank you, Hajiq, Raihana." said Detective Sam while they're walking out of the room.

"So, Sam, now what?" asked Detective Hazim.

"It's okay. For now, we'll do what we need to do. When that time comes, maybe we'll meet again." said Detective Sam while staring at Zarith's picture on the newspaper.
