Memories Of The Night 142 Chapter 142: Illegal Activities

Since the incident at the hotel, Marcellus knows that Katrina is in a bad mood and doesn't dare disturb her in any way.

Farrah occasionally gets a call from Marcellus to ask her about Katrina. She figures that something happened between the both of them.

Before, Katrina was determined to try to accept Marcellus's affections. But in a short period of time, everything changed.

If she's not mistaken, it has something to do with Sophie's birthday party.

Sophie must be involved somehow!

Did Sophie threaten Katrina again? Did she bully Katrina and force her to avoid Marcellus again?

Although Farrah has no idea what happened that day, she's confident that it has something to do with Sophie. Katrina and Marcellus would have gotten together years ago if Sophie hadn't interfered with them.

As Katrina's best friend, Farrah, can't help but despise Sophie.

Today is her day off. Farrah calls Katrina to invite her out for dinner.

Whatever happened to Katrina, it must have been horrible. Farrah wants to take the opportunity to comfort her and cheer her up, so Katrina doesn't have to suffer on her own.

Katrina accepts Farrah's dinner invitation. Besides, she doesn't have any plans after work.

Before her s.h.i.+ft ends, Katrina prepares to leave when the captain suddenly rushes out of his office and claps his hands to draw everyone's attention.

"Everyone, listen to me. According to a credible informant's report, illegal s.e.x trafficking activities are occurring in many hotels and KTVs in the city. The commissioner has decided to start a task force to eliminate the problem. We're working overtime today to check several key hotels. Gear up!"

Just now, a young policeman is combing his hair in front of his mobile phone. At the captain's announcement, he howls, "Overtime again? My mom set up a blind date with a girl for me tonight. I've just made an appointment with her, only to stand her up at our first meeting? Captain, this is a rare opportunity for me, you can't stop me from dating!"

The captain glares at him. "There's no girl more beautiful than the one on our team! With such a beautiful girl right in front of you, why are you still searching for others?"

The man touches his head. "Miss Miller is indeed beautiful, but she already has a lot of suitors."

Everyone in the police department knows that the esteemed lawyer, Marcellus Brook are courting Katrina. Marcellus is an upstanding, gentle, and well-mannered man who set up his own law firm.

With such a good young man by her side, Katrina is bound to fall in love with him.

Many young men in their team have just graduated from the Police Academy and are facing the problem of settling down, but there are very few girls in the police department.

In addition, being a policeman makes it more difficult for them to find a girlfriend. They often have to work overtime, and sometimes have to leave and handle an emergency if they get a phone call.

With the nature of their job, they don't have time to spend with their family or time to fall in love. Their lives are also constantly at risk. Consequently, a lot of young policemen in the team are still single.

The discussion suddenly s.h.i.+fts to Katrina.

As a girl surrounded by men, Katrina flushes when her captain and colleagues tease her.

"You have ten minutes to gear up! Let's regroup downstairs!" The captain claps his hands and leaves.

Despite their earlier complaints, the young men start to gear up and prepare their equipment. They become serious about facing their task with firm determination. When it comes to their job, they take it more seriously than anyone else.

Following her colleagues downstairs, Katrina picks up her phone to call Farrah.

She has plans to have dinner with Farrah tonight. Unfortunately, she has to break her promise again.

Farrah is shopping at the supermarket with Patton when she gets Katrina's call.

"I was just thinking of calling you, Katrina!" Farrah says with a smile. "I'm at the supermarket with Patton. What do you want to eat tonight?"

Hearing Farrah's words make Katrina feel even guiltier. "I'm so sorry, Farrah… I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to dinner tonight. We have to work overtime for an urgent task."

The sudden news surprises Farrah on the other end of the line.

"Farrah, I'm sorry…"

Farrah snaps out of her daze and smiles. "It's fine! Katrina, you have a unique job, I understand! Be careful! I'll cook for you another time!"

"I will!" Katrina replies, "Farrah, we're leaving now. I'll talk to you later."

"Okay, bye!"

After hanging up the phone, Katrina gets into the police car.

Her team is divided into several squads. The squads make their way towards their respective inspection points.

Katrina's squad is a.s.signed to a hotel.

After arriving at the hotel, their captain groups them into pairs. They have to go to different floors to check every room.

Halfway through their inspection, Katrina's partner suddenly stops. His face twists in agony as he clutches his stomach in pain.

Katrina looks at him worriedly. "What's wrong?"

"I... I have a sudden stomach ache. It's probably my lunch. Katrina, wait for me here. I'll be right back!"

With that, her partner turns and runs to the bathroom.

When her partner walks away, Katrina simply goes to the next room on her own.

For her, checking rooms isn't a dangerous task. Besides, she can contact her captain directly through her headset. If something suddenly happens, she can call her captain for help at any time, and her colleagues will rush up at once.

The thought makes Katrina more confident and braver.

"Police!"

Katrina rushes into the next room, holding her police badge up. She sees a man sitting gracefully on a chair with his back to her.

Regular people get nervous or uneasy at the sight of the police. Even if they're not violating any law, they will immediately stand up to cooperate.

But the man doesn't react. It's as if he doesn't hear her, and his fingertips don't even move.

Since her first day as a police officer, this is the first time that Katrina encounters such a calm and collected man. His indifference makes her feel awkward.

Staring at the man's back, Katrina continues, "We received reports of illegal s.e.x trafficking taking place here. Please cooperate with our investigation!"
