"So, let's play a game detective." The masked woman smirked as she gently walked around the detective.

"I don't have time for your silly games." The older one growled, analyzing every move.

"You went to chase me when you could've helped your team." The woman chuckled innocently.

"And I quote, "Ah. He came to see me." So, why not play?" She added, sitting on the rooftop railing.

It was the same scenario, the infamous culprit managed to eliminate another victim again, and here they are for confrontation.

"Why are you even doing this?" He asked, looking at her with confusion in his eyes.

She was a lone wolf, yet able to escape and escalate crime flawlessly. He was the Top one, yet he was stuck in the same case for months now.

"Because I want to." She chuckled before looking directly in his eyes, her blue orbs staring at his viridescent one. There was something about her that made the detective calm, as if she placed him in trance.

"I bet you my imprisonment, That I can steal something precious with the help of your shoelace." The masked woman grinned.

"And if you don't?" The detective replied, while the younger one stopped in her tracks and pretended to think.

"I'll cut the chase, let you take me to jail."

"Deal." With that being said, the masked woman bit her lip and gently kneeled down in front of the detective, undoing his shoelace.

The detective stood there gently observing the culprit. Normally, he could've jumped on her and arrested her then and there. But then again, the culprit had an effect on him.

"I need your humble cooperation." The woman smirked before biting her lip, while the officer shook his head before smirking as well.

After months of chasing the woman, he finally got a hold of her. This time, he will make sure to put her in jail. There's no way in hell the culprit could steal something precious from him.

"Fine. What do you want me to do?" The detective asked, raising his eyebrow as the culprit stood up and held his shoelace in her hand. She gave him a small smile before licking her lower lip.

"Just place your hand in these circles."

"No. You'll tie me up." The detective smirked.

"You're no fun detective." The culprit shook her head, gently frowning.

"Times ticking." The detective said as the culprit looked down at the building they were standing on. She smiled at him in a charming manner, despite her mask. Her eyes was her way of showing emotion, and he made sure to analyze it.

"Come on, This is for the assurance that you won't handcuff me."

"No." The detective said sternly.

"I guess the deals off then? Bye." The culprit grinned before backing away. The detective smirked and quickly grabbed the woman's hand.

"Nuh-uh. You're coming with me."

"You wish." The culprit smirked before throwing the detective off balance with a punch towards his jaw. The detective wasted no time in wiping the blood that escaped the corner of his lips before crouching down and sliding his foot to trip the culprit.

"Lame." The culprit chuckled as she jumped, dodging it-or so she thought.

"Is it?" The detective smirked as he finally slid his feet, tripping the woman.

"You're mine." The detective smirked as he quickly grabbed the woman by the waist before she could fall. They looked like one of those romantic dancing couples, as they created a dip position.

"How I wish I am." The blue-eyed woman teased before winking at the detective. The raven went and gently pulled her up before holding her in his arms as he fiddled with his handcuffs.

"Cliché." The culprit smirked before using all her force to yank the detective's free shoulder to her, pulling it towards her before throwing the detective over her shoulder.

"Fuck!" The detective groaned as he hit the ground, the culprit smirked before playing with the shoelace she stole earlier and sitting on top of the detective's abdomen. The officer threw a punch, that was easily dodged by the culprit.

"Damn you!" The detective groaned as the culprit caught his left hand. He was eager to knock her out, at this point he didn't care if she was the opposite gender.

She was indeed something else, in fact he was convinced that maybe she wasn't normal at all. The detective wasted no time in throwing a reckless right hook, only for the culprit to catch it with the shoelace as well.

"Gotcha." The masked woman smirked as pulled the ends of the lace, trapping the hand.

The detective tried to squiggle his hand away. but everytime he does, the grip tightens. The culprit smirked before pulling the detective to sit up against the wall. The masked woman gave the detective a teasing grin as she raised the tied hands above the officer's head, tying the excess lace to the railing.

"Now for my robbery." The culprit smirked as she bit her lip and used her free hand to cover the detective’s eyes, while her other hand held the detective's shirt, before pulling him and placing a kiss on the corner of the other one's lips.

"See you around, Detective Max." The culprit smirked.

Max was stunned, his brain trying to process what happened.

"Good night." She smiled before using her force to knock the detective out with a single punch.

"Ouch!" The raven hissed as his best friend pats his back, cutting him out of trance.

"Sorry. But damn!" Nichole chuckled, as she looked at her best friend. Luke had a cut on the corner of his lip, and a bruise by his jaw.

"That was one hell of a strong woman." Allyson, his other friend chuckled.

"Laugh all you want." Luke glared before huffing as he sat back on his chair.

"You've been trying to chase this…what do you call her again?" Ally asked, as she looked at her friend.

"Bow Kay" Luke replied.

"Bouquet? What a flowerful name." Nichole chuckled.

"No, Bow like hair bows, and Kay like the letter K." Luke nodded.

"And you call her that because?" Nichole asked, looking at the raven.

"Everytime she makes those stunts, she makes sure to leave a bow behind." Luke said as he looked at his drawer-that if he happens to open-contains 4 bows. 2 months, 2 whole months of the green-eyed guy trying to catch the brunette.

"And Kay is for?" Nichole asked.

"Her signature name." He answered, pulling one of his recent collected bow and tossing it to his best friend.

"Sometimes I'm starting to think you're enjoying this." Nichole chuckled, looking at Luke as she examined the bow.

"Trust me, he is." Ally teased. Luke let out a sarcastic laugh before nodding at Nichole to toss the bow back.

"If I was, I would've placed her in jail already." He replied in annoyance.

"Lu, we love you and all. But If you are, it could also be the same reason why she's still walking freely around the community." Ally pointed out.

"It's as if you're letting her off easily." Ally pouted.

For some reasons, he quietly thought about it. Luke was sure that he wasn't letting her off easily. Yet why does he seem a bit guilty?

"I agree." Nichole chuckled, shaking her head.

"You're not doing that are you?" Nichole asked while Luke quickly shooked his head.

"To be honest, this is the longest time we've stayed in a community. This is the only time we've been challenged by a lone criminal who happens to escape every meeting." Ally added, while Luke remained silent. Apparently, the blue-eyed woman was only encountered by Luke, and no one else.

"Not to mention that the criminal is a she, and alone." Nichole pointed out.

"Hang on, just because she's a woman does not mean she is not capable of doing this." Luke defended.

"Luke, I didn't mean anything bad about it. If anything it was kind of a compliment to her side." His best friend clarified.

"I'm just pointing out that there's three of us, and one Bow. Yet she manages to escape and strike." Nichole added.

"Girls, sometimes I feel like you don't trust me at all." He frowned.

"We do trust you, but it's just unusual for "Detective Max" to take this long when arresting someone." Ally smiled.

"Although, I have to say she is indeed clever." Ally added.

"She might be, but she needs to be stopped." Luke said.

"And trust me, I am not letting her off on purpose." He added.

"Luke, you made this move back in Chinatown when you found an interesting gang." Nichole reminded him.

"That was one time Nico! One time." Luke defended. Although he knew she was right.

Many months ago, they were assigned to spy on a fast-paced growing Gang that was involved in various crimes through out Chinatown. Luke was the Agent in field, and was tasked to make face to face contact. Apparently he had fun playing the gang's gamble game and ended up befriending one of them.

During the main event, where they were supposed to raid the warehouse. They were ordered to retreat, the objectives were getting delayed and they had no idea why. Until Nichole realized that Luke was probably advising the Gang to postpone trading, which lead to postpone their investigation raid.

"Although, in my defense. They were interesting guys." Luke added.

"One-" He started but was cut off by both girls.

"One had a plan of-"

"Alright fine. Jeez." Luke said, stopping both girls from repeating the same story he redundant-ly told them before.

"Anyways, back to our masked woman.." Ally said, looking at Luke.

"Any leads?"

"Well, it turns out that the armed guys we fought last night weren't her goons after all. She framed both of us." Nichole pointed out.

"As for you Mr. Capable of seeing her? Any other informations?" Ally asked.

"Aside from her phone? Nothing else." Luke said.

"Although last night, she left me a different parting gift." Luke mumbled as he bit his lip.

"Yeah, she left you knocked out and sitting on the rooftop." Ally shooked her head, chuckling.

"That's all you thought." Luke said before smirking.
