Memories Of The Night 231 Chapter 231: Her Duty

When Katrina starts eating, Farrah relaxes and picks up her chopsticks again.

If Katrina doesn't care, she has nothing to complain about.

It's actually a good thing that Katrina is capable of remaining so calm while facing Marcellus' new girlfriend after their breakup. This is definitely better than Katrina becoming upset.

While Katrina and Farrah are having dinner together, Katrina's phone suddenly rings.

Picking up the phone on the table, she sees that her boss is calling. For him to call during the weekend, there must be a work emergency.

Katrina quickly answers the phone, "h.e.l.lo, Captain."

"Katrina, there's an emergency!" he exclaims as soon as the call is connected. "Come over to the station immediately!"

Sure enough, receiving a phone call from her boss on her rest day can only mean a work emergency. "What's wrong, Captain?"

"I can't discuss it over the phone. I know it's your day off, but you have to come over to the station right now." There's no mistaking the urgency in his voice.

"All right, I'll be right there!" Even though Katrina is completely in the dark right now, her captain sounds extremely serious. It must be very important.

After Katrina hangs up the phone, she wipes her mouth with a napkin and looks at Farrah in embarra.s.sment. "I'm sorry, Farrah," she says, "There's a sudden emergency at work, the captain says I must go over to the station right now..."

Katrina always finds people suddenly leaving in the middle of a meal a bit disrespectful. After she leaves, Farrah will be left on her own. It must be lonely to eat out alone.

This is the disadvantage of being a cop. If there's a sudden situation, you're only a phone call away. Whether you're eating, sleeping, or taking a shower, you have to answer to the call of duty without any delay. Even the slightest delay could likely result in a significant loss, even someone's life.

Listening to Katrina's apologetic tone, Farrah nonchalantly waves her off without a trace of displeasure. "Don't worry. I'm a nurse, I understand. Go on, Katrina."

There are times when the hospital gets too many patients for the nurses on duty to handle. In such cases, her boss also calls her to work overtime.

Although Farrah and Katrina belong to different professions, they both serve the people and prioritize their safety above all. Understanding the necessity for being on call, she doesn't mind that Katrina has to leave her alone in the middle of their dinner.

"Thank you, Farrah!" Katrina exclaims, clutching her bag as she stands up. "I have to go." On her way to the door, she secretly pays their bill at the front desk as an apology.

Outside, Katrina hails a taxi and heads to the police station.

When Katrina arrives at the station, she finds all her colleagues present. An emergency that requires every member of the team means that it's something very urgent—Katrina tenses at the thought.

Seeing that everyone has arrived, the captain calls everyone into the conference room and begins the meeting.

"According to our investigation, Black Wolf, the criminal responsible for the March 29 robbery case, was sighted in Thailand recently, and we finally have his location. The higher-ups have given us the order to go to Thailand and arrest him."

The captain's words cause the entire room to go into an uproar.

The March 29 robbery case was so big that it became quite the sensation in Abbe City when it happened last year. All heavily armed the robbers took advantage of the last-minute rush before closing hours, rus.h.i.+ng in to rob the bank.

In addition to stealing tens of millions of dollars, they also shot a bank teller for attempting to call the police. The teller died on the spot.

When the news came out, the entire city was terrified. Banks, vaults, and jewelry stores with a large number of a.s.sets strengthened security measures. For weeks, people were wary about going out, even during the day.

Due to the gravity of the case, the police made it its top priority and organized a task force to arrest the criminals. After a long period of intense pursuit, all the robbers and accomplices were caught. Unfortunately, their leader, who went by the name of Black Wolf, escaped.

Black Wolf was so good at counter-intelligence that even the experts in the tracking department couldn't do anything about him.

No one expects the mastermind behind the ma.s.sive robbery to be finally located after a year. Even Black Wolf can't escape the long arm of the law.

For the police, the main objective is to bring all the suspects to justice and provide peace of mind to the city and justice to the victims.

After over a year of discouraging failures, the bleak case finally turns a corner. Everyone is motivated and eager to go to Thailand and capture Black Wolf.

"Captain, what's the plan?" one of the officers asked.

"They're all heavily armed," the captain says grimly, "not to mention they're in a foreign country. Operating in another country is tricky. Strict organization and planning are necessary to avoid unnecessary losses and casualties."

Since the arrest will take place overseas, it is impossible for everyone to go abroad. After selecting policemen who have outstanding daily performances and who are good at adapting to changes, the captain discusses the plan.

Afterward, he looks up and asks, "Does anyone have anything to add? Any suggestions?"

This is the time for unity among the team. Everyone shares their ideas and opinions, while the captain listens attentively. He will finalize the plan according to reason.

Just then, Katrina raises her hand to voice her opinion. "From what we know about Black Wolf, he is a notorious womanizer..."

She pauses to take a deep breath before continuing, "Having an all-male team may not be the best choice. If we look too hard, the suspect might grow suspicious of us. If I join the team, I could do something about it."

Katrina is not part of the captain's selection. Since she is a girl, he feels very protective of her. Flying thousands of miles to catch a dangerous suspect with a history of murder is no walk in the park. Worried about her safety, he leaves her out of the list.

Everyone falls silent in the wake of Katrina's suggestion. The captain ponders the question with a pensive air.

Katrina is right.

Black Wolf is indeed a womanizer. He was actually tracked down because he regularly visits the red-light district.

No one knows what will happen once they go to Thailand. Having a policewoman on the team might make things easier for them.
