Love Between You & Me

Identity

Ryan sucks on the lollipop stick and slouches back against the stacked pillow, getting comfortable on the bed. He has just retired to their room after collecting a passed out Damon.  Slurring his good nights to Bright who grunted in return and went back to boring holes in the screen of his laptop. Next, he deposited his fast asleep collegue inside his room and come back to his own. The tall man glances at the alarm clock stating that it is half past 11, too early to hit the sheets. Damon has wanted to have another go, but knowing that tomorrow they have work, he refused. 

Tapping on his ipad, he waits for the device to boot up while savouring the sweet taste tingling his tongue. Also helping his slightly intoxicated brain to start working again. Filling the required information, he gets connected to his NIA account and goes to the virtual archives filled with black folders, X files, agent details, case files from all over the world including cold as well as solve ones along with a large assed data collection of all officers who are directly or indirectly are involved to NIA. Clicking, he goes inside the SHADOW file and starts reading. It is not the first time he is going through this file. He has lost the number of counts, he had searched through it to look for any kind of clue or hint, which help him in knowing about the reason behind his father's death. The cause which forced him to live an orphan's life despite having family. But not tonight. Tonight, him studying the case files has nothing to do with him and is all about Kongpob. He has not been able to turn off his mind after his discussion with Arthit. His speculative theory that Kongpob could be one of the child resuced from human trafficking ring has had him evaluating the file word by word, yet he had not been able to find much intel about the little guy in pink. So, here he is. Taking advantage of being an NIA agent. There are very few people in NIA who have access to this portal and need an account and password to get entry. Luckily, Ryan is one of those fews. 

"Hmm...lets see, if there is any useful information about our little guy"

Ryan fills in the all the information and then the web page opened, with charts and tables, showing the statistics of the number of  trafficking rings busted in last 10 years or so. 15 minutes in and the tall man can feel a headache already. His head is throbbing with all the details blinking on the ipad. He hates this part of his job the most. Studying the reports. Someone please tell him how could one put a number scale to the pain and trauma victims has suffered. But apparently NIA can. There are very detailed and graphic description of all injuries, internal as well as external, with a number tagged to the rescued ones who're staring at the camera with lifeless eyes.

Taking a deep breath, he gets out of the file and goes back to the officer's intel link. As soon as the web page opens he drops the keyword Shadow and then the list of officers who ever worked on the case appears in his sight. His eyes widens seeing his team's name there. Even Ming and Forth have their name entailed here. He had known about Knott but he had not thought that the entire Special Team has once or twice has gone undercover for SHADOW...may be that's why they all are part of ST..but here is nothing about Kongpob, why??...exactly what is his identity?....

Shrugging off the passing thought, Ryan reads through some more name, when something catches his attention...Vongaphin???....doesn't officer Beam has same surname???..Let me check..Tapping on the name, he waits for the upload and when the page finally gets accessible, his jaws fells open. Thankfully, he was finished with the lollipop or else the bedsheet would had gotten spoiled. His eyes quickly roams all over the screen, taking in all the intelligence. 

Sitting upright, he washes his hands over his face, trying to make some meaning of whatever he has read just now. He rests his head against the pillow and glances at the ceiling," it says here that Dominic Vongaphin has also been part of the team which was investigating SHADOW and has busted a consignment of the trafficking cartel about 10 or so years back...then what happened to the ones who were rescued?....I should look some more into it...
