Even though Katrina is worried about him, Aaron cannot bear to see her crying so much. ""Don't cry, don't cry until after I'm dead. Why are you crying like this?""
Katrina pounds her fists against his chest. ""Don't say things like that! I'm not letting you die! You can't die easily,"" Plenty of tears stream down her cheeks.
Aaron's words only make her panic even more. After he's dead? How could he say such a thing! If anything happens to him… If the bullet hadn't missed… I'll never forgive myself if he dies because of me!
This cruel bastard! Does he want me to live in regret for the rest of my life? I never asked for any of this! She thinks.
All Katrina wants to do is to hold Aaron tightly, the warmth of his body, reminding her that he's alive. That nothing had happened to him. She forgets those eyes of her teammates, who stared at them with curiosity written all over their faces.
The sight of Katrina and Aaron tightly hugging each other is too intimate for the others to witness. They all look away to give them a semblance of privacy. They chose not to disturb them. They respect privacy towards their teammates, mostly Katrina, who is brave enough to accept a difficult task like this.
If this man hadn't appeared, who knows what would've happened to Katrina? The captain thinks. What a fearless man, facing Black Wolf-like that.

Seeing his bloodstained shirt almost makes her burst into tears again. She can't bear to check his wound and helps him up to his feet instead, praying he makes a full recovery.
Looking up at him, she hisses, ""Are you out of your mind? You must be in a lot of pain!""
Aaron smiles slightly and whispers, ""It doesn't hurt at all. This is nothing compared to the time you got yourself a boyfriend."" A naughty smile drew in Aaron's handsome face. Katrina's face turns red like a tomato when his words sink in, into her mind.
What are they talking about? The captain wonders, seeing Katrina shoot Aaron an incredulous look. He turns to Colin and says, ""Colin, take them to the hospital. We'll follow as soon as we finish wrapping things up here.""
""Yes, sir!"" Colin quickly ushers them towards one of the cars and hovers as Katrina pushes Aaron inside. Then he gets behind the steering wheel and drives to the hospital.
Katrina grasps Aaron's unharmed arm, unable to tear her eyes away from his bloody shirt. He's lost so
