When Kallan and Phon got back to Kallan's apartment they just dumped their things, Kallan knew that Phon hadn't eaten all day so the guy must be starving. They chatted as they ate and by the time they had finished there was a call from the apartment complex manager.

Kallan had a delivery so after he had confirmed he was expecting it the manager gave the delivery guys the all clear to take the items up in the elevator. 

They couldn't get the queen sized bed into the elevator so the manager got his staff to lower the powered davit carriage that they used for washing the windows and they took it up on that then hefted it onto Kallan's balcony.

Meanwhile, Kallan and Phon dragged the clothes rails out of what he called the cloak room and a few other items that had been dumped in there including his bicycle and then Kallan gave the floor a quick sweep. 

Phon couldn't believe that his boss, someone who was quite wealthy would lower himself to do such menial tasks and the more he was around him, the more he liked the guy.

When the delivery guys came back from their ride on the davit carriage, they unpacked the bed and the furniture and took away all the packaging after Kallan had slipped them some cash to show his gratitude for all their hard work.

"you didn't have to go to this trouble Kallan, I could have bunked down on the sofa" Phon said.

"nonsense, I take care of my people and anyway, I think it was a good idea to make the cloakroom into a spare room, I don't know why I never thought of it before?"

They both positioned the furniture where Phon wanted it then Kallan went to bring clean bedding and soon the cloakroom had been transformed into a cosy bedroom and it had two awning windows so Phon would be able to let fresh air in.

Kallan would decide what to do with the things they had pulled out of there tomorrow but right now he needed a shower and Chai Son would be calling soon so he'd better shake a leg.

"ok Phon, I'm going to wash up now and I'll probably chill in my room, help yourself to anything you like and the bathroom is right next door and ... I guess I'll see you in the morning" Kallan said.

"great, thank you Kallan, what time do you normally get up?" Phon asked.

"around 6.30am give or take then I leave for the office around 8.30am

"give me a shout if you need me" Phon said and Kallan nodded before walking in the direction of his room.

Phon watched his boss go before turning back to look at his temporary accommodation, the bed sure looked inviting but first he needed to wash up and do a little work. Lifting his holdall onto the bed he pulled out some shorts and a vest top before going next door to wash up.

Afterwards he went back into his room and hung his suit on the back of the door ready for the morning then made sure his firearm was accessible in case he needed it during the night before pulling out his laptop and sitting on the bed cross legged.

He typed in his KJS clearance code before acquiring access to certain files, he wanted to learn more about Kao Kappanajong, he didn't trust the guy and he had a gut feeling he was up to no good but he didn't know what.

Typing in the name he pressed enter then waited and within seconds he had numerous articles, newspaper clippings and magazine photo shoots and the information that he really wanted which was his personal details.

It was going to be a long night so he walked through to Kallan's kitchen and made himself a coffee, he didn't know whether or not to make one for his boss so he went to the door of his bedroom and heard him talking on the phone to someone whom he guessed was his fiancé so he walked back to the kitchen and continued to make his drink.
