Mystery Night

Ari woke up as the sun was rising to find Kate still asleep on his bare chest. He looked around the room and realized he was in the guest bedroom of Kate's apartment. He tried to think about what had happened last night, but could only remember going to a local bar with Kate.

He inhaled sharply as his head began to pound. The sudden movement awakened Kate, who, out of habit, reached for her gun under her pillow, only to find that her pillow was Ari Haswari. She immediately jumped up, fully awake. When she saw that they were both fully clothed except for Ari being shirtless, she relaxed a bit. She immediately started questioning him, trying to figure out why he was in her apartment.

"What are you doing here?" she asked. "Why were you laying under me? What happened last night?" Her head began pounding more and more as she asked each question until she couldn't bear the pain much longer. She winced and sat down on the foot of the bed, still alert.

"I think we got drunk last night, because I remember going to the bar a few minutes from here. I remember both of us dancing with some very blurry faced people," he said, trying to remember. "Maybe we should drink some coffee to get rid of these headaches," Ari said seeing how in pain Kate was from the repetitive pounding in her head.

He got up and led Kate into the kitchen, where he made coffee while she laid on the couch.

As he made the coffee, she watched him and tried to piece together the mysterious night they had spent together. She tried to figure out why he had come to her in the first place. "Staring at me won't bring back either of our memories from last night, and it wont get the coffee made any faster." Ari said without turning around. He knew she had been watching her the whole time.

"I know that, Ari, but I'm trying to figure out the reason you were here in the first place," Kate said in a frustrated tone of voice.

"My father and I had a fight about a special operation and it got really intense. Seeing as he is the director of Mossad, I thought it would be safer for me to go into hiding in case he was mad enough to kill me, which he most likely is."

He walked over to Kate and handed her a cup of coffee and sat down with her. They looked into each others eyes as intensely as possible. They sat in silence as they studied each other for the answer to their mystery night for what seemed like hours to them, but was truly only about 10 minutes.

"I don't think staring at each other is gonna help us remember. Maybe we should retrace our steps from the time you left the apartment until the time we got back. Then it's up to us to remember what happened last night in the guest room," Kate finally said.

Ari nodded and then silently drank his coffee before he spoke. "I will go get changed then we can go," and he walked out of the room.

Kate sat for a moment thinking hard before getting up and walking to her room to change and get ready for the long day ahead of her.
