Aaron saw her action, and a pleasant smile broke in his handsome face. "What now? Are you getting mesmerized with my appearance?" Aaron tried to crack a joke to get her attention back to reality.
"In your dreams. Let me go!"
Aaron loosened his arms and suddenly kissed her mouth without asking her permission.
"Y--You---You!" She screams in anger.
He just smiled and said, "It"s a good luck kiss,"
She glared at him but didn"t repeat anything.
Aaron doesn"t know anything about Katrina"s current a.s.signment. Since it"s confidential, he knows she wouldn"t tell him even if he asks. But it doesn"t stop him from worrying about her safety. I don"t want her to be in any danger.
Suddenly finding herself in Aaron"s arms, Katrina starts to struggle when she hears the concern in his voice. With Aaron hugging her tightly like a lifeline, she doesn"t have the heart to push him away.
He"s really worried about me, she thinks in wonder. He didn"t fly to Thailand because I stood him up. He came here because he"s worried about me.
"Release me now, please?"
"Okay, you take care," He said.
Katrina nods. "I will. Everyone in the team takes good care of me. Don"t worry, I"ll be fine!"
Aaron doesn"t move to let her go, and she doesn"t want to keep her colleagues waiting. After a few more seconds, she nudges Aaron"s chest. "I have to go now."
A thought occurs to Katrina while Aaron releases her. "You"re not staying in the hotel all day, are you?"
He frowns. Does she think I plan to laze around in bed all day? "I made an appointment with a local client."
Aaron is a workaholic. Since he came all the way to Thailand, he has to maximize his time while he is here. A local business partner has been trying to set up a meeting with him for a long time, and he"s going to take this opportunity to meet with him finally.
Katrina leaves the room with complicated feelings.
She was definitely furious with Aaron for breaking into her room and taking advantage of her the night before. But after witnessing his heartfelt concern earlier, she realizes that he isn"t as horrible as she thought.
Katrina"s team spends the day doing surveillance at Tilaya, knowing that Black Wolf is most likely to be found there.
At eight o"clock that evening, an officer reports that the target has made an appearance. The captain immediately relays the information to the rest of the team, and everyone rushes to action. Although everyone looks like ordinary civilians, they all have hidden guns strapped to their waists.
The March 29 armed robbery case is not Black Wolf"s first crime. In addition to robbery, homicide, and other felonies, he has also been involved in ****, drug trafficking, and other major crimes.
But Black Wolf is an extremely cunning person. Despite all the crimes he"s committed, he has evaded the police for so long. He is a very dangerous criminal who is skilled with a gun. Dealing with such a clever and vicious criminal is not a small challenge for the police.
Black Wolf is obviously very familiar with the place, and he has a good security detail with him. He arrives at Tilaya in a bulletproof car and is escorted by two tall and bulky bodyguards as soon as he arrives.
The captain sends two police officers to lurk in the crowd. They watch Black Wolf"s movements, all the while keeping a low profile to avoid alarming the target. Any confrontation could result in innocent people getting hurt, and they can"t have that.
As soon as Black Wolf enters Tilaya, he goes upstairs to a private room where his two bodyguards stand guard outside. No one can get near him aside from the waiter.
The private room is a good place to capture the Black Wolf without the risk of hurting innocent civilians. The captain sends two experienced officers disguised as waiters to enter the room and serve wine. They have an open communication line with the other officers outside who are ready to take down Black Wolf at any time.
Unfortunately, they are stopped by the bodyguards as soon as they approach the door. Only female servers are allowed to enter. Black Wolf is extremely vigilant. As a long-time criminal, he is particularly careful with the slightest of details.
To prevent unnecessary suspicion, the officers have no choice but to retreat, letting the actual waitress serve the wine.
The initial plan to approach Black Wolf is unsuccessful. It"s time to change tactics.
Black Wolf is known for his lascivious nature. He doesn"t just go to bars to drink. Every time he comes, he pays women to give him a good time. Aside from his bodyguards, men can"t approach him so easily. Only women have access to him.
Since the waitress had already delivered the wine, they can"t send Katrina as a server anymore. The team collectively realizes what needs to be done, but no one wants to bring it up.
Seeing the mission coming to a pause, Katrina speaks up. "Captain, let me try." As the only woman in the team, she has access to the room. She wants to do her part and be useful.
Everyone stops talking. Even the captain is silent.
Although they had decided to take Katrina on the a.s.signment as a last resort, no one wants her to take such a big risk.
Taking a gun into the room could easily blow her cover, but entering the room, unarmed, is like walking into the lion"s den. Black Wolf can easily overpower Katrina. Even if he doesn"t discover her ident.i.ty, it would still be very dangerous for her.
No one in the team feels comfortable placing such a dangerous task on a girl, not to mention the female colleague everyone dotes on.
Faced with everyone"s silence, Katrina knows that the team is worried about her safety. "Captain, I"ve been a cop for a long time. Please don"t underestimate me. I"ll be fine!" she says in a deliberately relaxed tone.
"We flew all the way to Thailand to catch Black Wolf. Now that opportunity is at hand, what are we waiting for? If we miss this chance, we might not get another one."
