Memories Of The Night

Ignoring each other, the team enters the venue, pretending they don"t know each other.

Katrina gets paired up with her partner Colin. They pretend to be a young couple as their cover. Since Katrina and Colin have been on a lot of missions together, it"s a good match.

But this is the first time for them to play a couple.

"Sorry, Katrina," Colin says sheepishly.

Katrina nods in understanding. If they want this to work, their performance needs to be perfect. She doesn"t react when Colin puts an arm around her shoulder.

They have no knowledge of Tilaya. Afraid of exposing themselves, none of them has their earphones on, choosing regular phones as their means of communication.

None of the guests have been using the earphones of their mobile phones. They would stick out like sore thumbs if they did.

Katrina takes her phone out of her pocket and switches it on to make herself accessible to her colleagues.

This morning, Katrina turned off her phone before boarding the plane. Since she went directly to the hotel and went to sleep in her room soon after, she didn"t bother turning her phone back on. It had been switched off the entire day.

After shoving their phones back into their pockets, Katrina and Colin continue to watch the drag shows inside the bar.

On the surface, they are no different from ordinary young couples who came to Thailand to travel. Although they look interested in the surroundings like foreign tourists full of curiosity, their priority is familiarizing themselves with the place and the building layout.

While Katrina is watching the show, her phone suddenly rings.

Katrina"s heart is taut with tension. Her first thought is that her captain has an update or a new instruction for them. She quickly takes out her phone.

But the caller ID on the screen reads Aaron"s name.

Katrina suddenly remembers that Aaron had asked her to accompany him to dinner tonight, and she stood him up. He must be calling to look for her.

Thinking about Aaron gives Katrina a headache.

Katrina hesitates whether to take the call or not. She can imagine how furious Aaron will be to someone standing him up.

But it seems to be too cruel to ignore his call after failing to keep her promise. It"s better to explain herself to him.

In the end, Katrina picks up the phone. "h.e.l.lo."

On the other end of the line, Aaron"s voice is cold and angry. "Where are you?"

Looking around carefully, Katrina makes sure that everyone is watching the show before whispering back, "I"m on an emergency a.s.signment. It"s very urgent, and I"m not in Abbe right now. I"m really busy. I"ll call you later!" Then she hangs up immediately.

Katrina might have been a little deceitful, but she already explained herself. She has more important things to do than accompany Aaron to some party.

Hearing the busy tone on the phone makes Aaron angry. After standing him up, Katrina has the nerve to hang up on him.

As soon as Aaron finished work this afternoon, he went straight to the gate of the police station to pick Katrina up. Unexpectedly, after other policemen left the station one after another, she didn"t show up.

He tried to call Katrina to find out what happened, but he couldn"t get through to her because her phone was switched off. Since Katrina switched off her phone, he had no way of contacting her. Aaron was so upset that his handsome face darkened.

Aaron couldn"t bear it any longer. He went inside the police station to look for Katrina. But all he found out was that she had gone on a business trip that morning. Due to the confidentiality of the a.s.signment, he couldn"t get any more information.

Aaron fumed at the discovery that Katrina didn"t even go to work today.

Last night, Katrina promised to accompany him to a party, but she tricked him and went on an a.s.signment to escape him.

No wonder she was so ready to agree to him last night. Katrina never planned to go to the party with him at all. She knew that she would be away for work, so she decided to trick him and stand him up.

At the realization of being stood up for the first time, Aaron became even more upset. He couldn"t wait to catch Katrina and punish her.

By this point, Aaron had lost interest in going to the party.

Although it was a very important banquet, Aaron couldn"t bring himself to socialize. He merely showed up at the beginning and quickly found an excuse to leave. His expression was terrible the whole time.

At the sight of Aaron"s murderous face, no one dared to ask him any more questions and let him go easily.

Afterward, Aaron"s temper gradually gave way to worry. He didn"t know what she was doing or why turned off her phone. She could be in danger. After all, a police officer standing against a criminal is the most vulnerable to dangerous tasks.

With no way of contacting Katrina and no information about her whereabouts, Aaron became extremely worried for her safety.

It"s 8 p.m. when Aaron finally gets to reach Katrina. The moment he hears her voice on the phone, he demands, "Where are you?"

Although his tone is angry, Aaron is instantly relieved to hear her voice.

Fortunately, Katrina sounds normal. Nothing horrible seems to have happened to her.

During the few seconds of their short conversation, Aaron listens to the noise in the background. Hearing some music, he realizes that she seems to be watching a performance. He recognizes people speaking in Thai and the word "Tilaya" being said on more than one occasion.

Aaron quickly draws a conclusion.

Katrina is currently on an a.s.signment in Thailand.

To go thousands of miles abroad to carry out an a.s.signment means that Katrina"s team is up against a powerful criminal who has committed a very heinous crime.

Although Katrina"s explanation was very concise, Aaron can tell that her a.s.signment is not just a simple conflict. Katrina is on a very dangerous mission.
