Indeed, it was the right timing to use this word, as Ana-Maria Crnogorcevic enters TVK's VIP room during a night event, dressed in a sexy dress instead of her usual police/MI6 outfit and badge.
Frowning, I warn Ona and Rosella, who were on each side of me, to remain still, as I advance toward the agent.
"We agreed to keep my partnership with the police a secret" I immediately hiss, looking straight into the woman's eyes.
"Don't worry, I am not here for that, Bonmati" Ana coldly answers, before looking around and saying: "I need to talk to you, though - privately."
Nodding my head, I just make her a sign to follow me, before staring at my co-workers and telling them that everything was okay.
I lead Ana into a private room behind the scenes, were the dancers usually change. I let her in first, before closing the door behind us, making sure nobody followed us - I mean, with girls like Ona, Christen or Rosella in my team, you never know what's to come as they never follow orders properly. When I turn around, however, I wish someone would've followed us.
Ana is pointing a silent gun toward me, a smirk on her face.
"Please, sit." she orders.
Raising my hands in the air, I slowly do as I am told, looking around the room: there was no way out of there, which also meant that she could kill me and get out herself without anyone noticing.
Setting my jaw, I just whisper:
"To be honest, I did not see that one coming ; care to explain?"
Ana nods.
"You really did believe your past wasn't going to hunt you down, uh?" the Swiss asks, still pointing the gun toward me.
"I don't know what you're talking about..."
"Oh, then maybe this will freshen your memories..."
With that said, the blonde takes a folded piece of paper out of her pocket and throws it toward me, her jaw set with anger. When I start unfolding it, I soon realize it is an old picture, and that the two faces are familiar to me.
I set my jaw, moved.

"Listen, it is not what you think... TVK has nothing to do with-"
"Shut up" Ana orders, deeply angry at the moment. As she grabs the pictures again, she adds: "listen very carefully, Bonmati, otherwise I won't have any issue with blowing your head off. Tell me what happened with Caitlin Foord."
Trying to control my breathing and emotions, I just nod and calmly say:
"You're not gonna believe me, but I actually have no idea where Caitlin is."
