Chapter 17 : Mission Holy

Win parks his car at the headquarter around 2:20 in the morning. It is still early, but it is necessary for Mission Holy. They will strike at 3 in the morning today. The agent sighs tiredly as he unbuckles his seat belt and looks out of the window on his side. Bright's Range Rover just comes to a halt at the parking space next to his car. The younger man smiles, slumping his back against his seat.

New, who's sitting at the front passenger seat, smirks at his totally smitten friend. "What a destiny really!" The buff agent purposely exaggerates his exhalation, gaining his friend's attention.

"What about it?"

"Destiny, and the way it works. Like right now, your boyfriend has parked his car next to yours," New snickers in amusement.

Win punches the side of his friend's arm and asks him to shut up by placing his forefinger against his lips. Suddenly his window is knocked by someone from outside. Win startles at that and turns his head around abruptly. It is Bright who is bending his legs down so that his face is aligned with the window. Win fully rolls his window down and Bright rests his arm on the car door.

"Hi, good morning," the agent greets with a huge smile on his face. Win's heart does a somersault, seeing that smile of his.

"Hey, good morning," Win manages to breathe out, still recovering from the few seconds of heart palpitations earlier.

"Good morning! I'm New, Thitipoom Techaapaikhun and I exist too!" New exclaims, pouting a little. Win smacks his friend's hand again and the buff agent rolls his eyes. "Fine, I get it. I'm not needed here," the agent says as he opens the car door and gets out. "Don't make out for too long! We need to gear up and get ready!" New shouts at both agents and instantly jogs into the headquarter while laughing devilishly.

"Ai'New!" Win narrows his eyes to slits at his friend who seems to have so much fun teasing him with Bright. His partner chuckles and nudges Win's shoulder softly.

"Shall we?" Bright murmurs, staring deep into the younger man's eyes.

Win looks at the man warily. "Shall we what?"

"Make out..." Bright says with a straight face, causing Win to gasp in shock.

"Chivaaree!" Win huffs. His face is burning with embarrassment. Bright throws his head back laughing because he does not expect Win to react that way. He admits it that he is a little blunt with his words, or maybe not just a little, but he can't help himself. Win is just adorable when he's being teased.

"I apologise, khun. Let's gear up," Bright opens the car door for Win to get out. The younger man shakes his head at the gesture and sighs before getting out of the car. The men walk side by side to the lift and up to the locker room at level 6. Once they arrive at the room, it is crowded with all agents who are in the middle of changing their clothes to special outfit for mission.

Win turns to look at Bright and the agent shrugs. "See you in a bit?" Win manages to let out, despite being overwhelmed by the crowded room. Thank God the trainees' locker room is separated from theirs. Or else it would be so much crowded in here. Bright nods at Win and they proceed to their own locker.

Fifteen minutes later, all agents and trainees gather at the spacious lobby of their headquarter. Lieutenant Champ and Colonel Aof are standing at the front, waiting for their team to settle down. "Okay, boys! Calm down, will you?" Lieutenant Champ groans at his over-excited team. The whole team goes silent at the remark thrown by the lieutenant. "Good morning, Team Alpha!"

The team stands in a ready position before shouting back at the officer. "Good morning, lieutenant!"

"I know you'd rather be at home and sleep instead of being here. But you're here now, and I'd like to say I'm proud of every single one of you. We gather here for Mission Holy, to protect the purity of the temple and to help people from being destroyed due to drug abuse. The fact that you're here is enough to show that you care about others' safety. So, do your best! Work well as a team. Agent Tawan and Agent Techaapaikhun, may the force be with you," Lieutenant Champ ends his speech with a quote from Star Wars film.
