That afternoon, the computer Thomas was operating at the cash register received an order. He looked at it, then his eyes widened in disbelief. Quickly, he pressed a small button under the counter, prompting Captain Lubis to immediately come down from his upstairs room.
Seeing the Captain arrive, some employees glanced over, sensing something was wrong. Captain Lubis stood right next to Thomas, his eyes fixed on the order on the monitor screen. His expression was mostly flat, but Thomas could see the middle-aged man was slightly happy.
"Alright, as planned," he said to the team.
Everyone gathered in the kitchen. They had finally received their first order from Satrio's building, probably one of his employees placing it. Kaelino, Kevin, Omar, Adam, and Thomas stood before Captain Lubis, but one person was missing.
"Regi, where is he?"
Thomas answered. "He hasn't returned from delivering an order downtown. Maybe ten more minutes."
"Very well." Captain Lubis took the receipt and read it. "Two toasted sandwiches, three meat-filled breads, and five mochaccinos. This is clearly an order from one of his employees."
Everyone nodded in understanding. This was their chance to sabotage the building in one single action.
A few minutes later, Regi finally arrived. He looked exhausted and sweaty. But just as he was about to sit down, Thomas called out. "Regi, an order."
"Are you serious? I just got back! At least give me five minutes to rest!" Regi complained, grumbling in annoyance.
Thomas lightly slammed the cashier counter, then stared at him sharply. "Come here!"
Regi rolled his eyes and walked lazily to the counter. "What?"
"This order is from Satrio's building. Do you still remember Plan A and Plan B?"
Suddenly, Regi's eyes lit up with enthusiasm. He nodded eagerly while packing all the orders into his delivery bag. "Of course I remember! Even Plan A through Z, if you want!"
"Ha?" Thomas looked confused.
"Forget it." Regi lifted Thomas's chin with his hand, then quickly headed out to deliver the order. "I'm off," he said with great excitement.
After Regi left the shop, Thomas could only shake his head, hoping the mission would go according to plan. Captain Lubis came out of the kitchen and approached Thomas, who had just handed the order to Regi.
"Is he gone?" he asked casually.
"Yes, he's taken all the orders to Satrio's office. And I forgot to mention that the order was already paid for," Thomas said.
Hearing that, Captain Lubis fell silent and looked at him in frustration. Thomas felt very guilty for forgetting to mention such important information. But it wasn't entirely his fault, Regi had already distracted him, and he only realized it after Regi was already outside the shop.
Captain Lubis said nothing. He just rolled his eyes, then returned to his upstairs room.
Outside, Regi hoisted the large bag containing the order from Satrio's building. He ran across the street, passing several shops until he finally stood in front of the target building. He looked up, the eight-story building was now within their grasp. Soon.
He entered the lobby, where two receptionists sat. Regi walked over and showed them the order.
"Delivery from B'Bread."
"Wait a moment," one receptionist said, then made a phone call. "Your order is here. Pick it up at the reception desk."
Then one of the receptionists asked Regi, "Has it been paid for?"
"Uh, I don't think so. Maybe," Regi said hesitantly, smiling stiffly.
"Alright, please wait a moment."
Regi nodded and glanced around. "By the way, where is the restroom?"
The receptionist pointed the way. "Over there, then go straight until you see the sign."
"Alright, thank you." Regi smiled widely, then quickly headed to the restroom.
Once inside, he immediately began his mission. After Plan A failed, he switched to Plan B. Regi took toilet tissue and stuffed all the toilet bowls until they were clogged. He even pressed them down with his foot to make sure they were completely blocked. He flushed, and soon several toilets began to flood with water.
Regi chuckled softly, then hurried away before any employee could discover his actions. When he reached the lobby, he walked casually, eyeing the two pretty receptionists. He even waved at them with a small smile.
One of the receptionists looked at him in confusion, then called out to him. "Uh... sir, the order hasn't been paid for."
"It's fine. We like to give charity," Regi said, then ran out of the building.
After crossing the street, he finally arrived back at B'Bread with a beaming face. Thomas noticed something was different about him.
"Let me guess, the receptionists were pretty girls," Thomas teased.
Regi smiled as he leaned back in his chair. "Exactly! And soon, that office restroom will be flooded."
Thomas chuckled. Regi was reliable, even if he was a little mischievous. With that, Plan B was chosen for this mission. And the next day... it would be Kaelino and Kevin's turn to go into the field to continue the operation.

The next day arrived. Kaelino and Kevin were now inside a black car driven by Adam and Omar.
Adam turned to the back and handed them a professional plumber's identification badge he had made earlier. Its purpose was to fool the security guards on duty.
"Make sure you show this to the security guards. They won't hesitate to let you through," Adam said confidently.
Kevin took the badge and asked, "How do you know they'll let us through?"
"It's normal for big companies to call plumbers when there's a problem with their office restrooms. And you need to get out quickly before the real plumbers arrive. Got it?" Adam explained. Both nodded and immediately dressed as plumbers, complete with orange hard hats.
When they arrived in front of Satrio's building, Kaelino and Kevin got out, carrying the necessary tools. Kevin rolled down the window. "Good luck." Then he drove the car a bit further away to avoid suspicion.
Now the two entered the building, blending in with several employees who were also heading inside. As Adam had predicted, a security guard approached them from a distance. Both Kaelino and Kevin remained calm, just as planned.
When the guard stood before them, Kaelino was the first to show his identification card as a professional plumber. "Romy Malaka," he said casually.
Kevin followed, showing his own ID. "Febriansyah."
The guard nodded, his eyes narrowing with suspicion. "Weren't you supposed to come at eight?"
"Your boss asked us to come earlier to fix the restroom. He was worried it would take too long," Kaelino said convincingly.
"Alright, sir. Good luck with your work." The guard stepped aside and let them through, then picked up his walkie-talkie. "The plumbers have arrived. Close the back area," he told his colleague.
Now Kaelino and Kevin reached the restroom. The scene was chaotic. Water was everywhere, Regi had done his job well, even if a little excessively. Without wasting any time, the two got to work.
Kaelino closed the restroom door and watched the hallway, while Kevin began preparing the signal transmitter device. He climbed over the partition wall to reach one of the ceiling lights. He removed the light fixture, cut the power supply, and connected the device there. Then he reconnected the light and placed it back as if nothing had changed.
Kevin immediately turned on his phone and called Adam. "The transmitter is installed."
"Good. Did you see the light blinking?"
"Yes, before I put the main light back in place," he explained.
"Alright, I think that's enough."
Kevin ended the call, then signaled Kaelino that it was time to leave. The two opened their tool bag, which actually contained complete suits, ties, and casual shoes. They quickly changed clothes there. Then they flipped the tool bag over, turning it into a briefcase for office documents. Now the two looked completely different, a 180-degree transformation.
Kaelino slowly opened the door, carrying the briefcase. He walked out first, reaching the lobby without anyone suspecting him. Even the security guard they had met earlier held the door open for him. Kevin followed and exited safely as well.
They hurried to the car parked beside the building, where Adam and Omar were waiting inside.
Seeing them approach, Omar opened the door, and they quickly got in. Adam turned to the back. "How did it go?"
Kaelino nodded slightly. "Done. Now let's head back to base."
Without delay, they returned to B'Bread to capture the signal from the transmitter Kevin had installed in the building.
Once they arrived at B'Bread, specifically on the third floor, Adam began diagnosing the signal reception on his computer. It didn't take long before he successfully connected, making everyone in the room tense with anticipation.
Adam then took a deep breath and entered the IP address of Satrio's building's signal into the computer. Moments later... the CCTV footage from Satrio's building appeared on the screen. Everyone cheered in satisfaction, now they could monitor the building from a distance and search for clues.
Seeing his team's success, Captain Lubis was clearly happy. He even showed a slight smile behind his stern face. This showed that he was not just a captain, but a mentor, training the next generation to continue fighting against injustice.
