Then he fixed his gun back into the holster on his trouser and made a move towards Lara with the intention to cuff her hands. "Why're you smiling?" Oliver whispered to jack in the chopper. "Cause the boss's about to whoop the agent's ass!" He whispered back. "How'd you know that?" "Juuust watch!" Jack chuckled. Lara immediately went on her knees, raised up her face towards Ryan and smiled, "Are you really gonna arrest me?" "You're hereby under arrest for theft! Whatever you say or do will be held against you in the court of– ". Before he could finish his sentence Lara slashed Ryan's knee with a tiny knife.Arrrraaggghh! The agent held his knee in pain, his blood gushed out like tap water. "Bitch!" He cursed at her. "You were gonna say court of law, right?" She asked then gave herself a spin and kicked Ryan's head with a force that struck him to the floor with a thud! "Hate to break it to you son of a bitch! But I've heard that shit a thousand times! Don't come looking for me, you won't come out alive!" She knocked him out with the end of her gun. Ryan's vision blurred out then he passed out! "Whooo that's my boss!" Jack began to praise Lara while helping her up the helicopter, soon police men came shooting at them but the pilot took off in a flash! "Take this bitches! Ha ha ha!" Lara laughed and brought out her two middle fingers shoving it in the men's faces from up in the air.Whoooo! Yeahhhhh!They celebrated another mission accomplished.Related chapters

The five of them had grown up together on Doyers street and since then, they've been inseparable. They were all poor kids living on the streets without parents or guardians, they had learned to fend and look out for each other's backs for survival. Now they were in their mid 20's, full of life and more adventures. They became the kings and queens of the streets by stealing with ease, running dangerous illegal errands for all sorts of people, and whenever they were caught there was always some sort of smart way out of it.

Businesses were ready for another day's sales. Ryan Steven had slept through the ringing of his clock on his table. After a stressful yesterday's shift with an injured bandaged knee and a resounding headache, he was exhausted beyond a night's sleep. He had felt ashamed and incompetent for his job after last night's encounter with the jewel thief. He couldn't believe that he had been brought down by a woman; one who kicked like a man, he thought.

Different types of cars as well police cars painted in blue and white were parked in front of the building. The agent walked into the building with a rubber bag holding two large burgers and a bottle of orange juice in his hand— which was his breakfast. He marched on boldly into the storey building, ”Hey Flinch!” He waved at the security man at the entrance. “Good morning Ryan!” The man replied. Then he walked into an elevator which would take him to the third floor. “Good morning!” Ryan shrugged and greeted the lady in the elevator. “Hello!” She smiled back. The room went silent as no one uttered a word after that. “Uhh– “ She cleared her throat, Ryan turned in her direction. “You must Ryan Steven!” “Yeah I am, have we met before?” “No no, I mean not yet, well we just met, but we’re going t

How's your leg?" "Still sore, but I'll survive", he shrugged. Joe patted Ryan on his back as a symbol of sympathy.Knock knock! The sound came from the glass door which was wide open, the men turned their heads to the direction of the sound. "Hi, I'm Ava!" The familiar lady announced.

It had been a week since Ava started working with the NYPD and since then, Ryan had been ignoring her and Ava had been patient with him. "Hey Louis!" Ryan waved at a bearded white slender man from his office. "Please join me in my office!"Louis rushed over to Ryan's office, "Hey Ryan what's up?" The two men shook hands. "Yeah I've been trying to solve this case on my own but now I realized that I'm gonna need all the help I can get!"Louis nodded as he listened to Ryan.

Ryan pulled up his navy blue car in front of the 18th house on Doyers street, number 18 was boldly written on the wall of the old looking building and when he looked up, he could see a sign saying it's an orphanage home. He brought out the piece of paper with Lara's details, checked the address again to make sure he was in the right place.He sighed, "It's an orphanage?" Ryan was a bit confused but he decided to enter the building. He pressed the button on the door and he could hear the bell ring aloud from inside the house, he waited for a few seconds but no one replied so he pressed the button again. Ding dong! "Hold your horses!" A lady shouted angrily from the house with a croaky loud voice.Finally the door was opened by a fat white lady, she wore a large red dress and there were jewelries on her ears, neck, hands, fingers and one on her nose too. Her hair was wrapped high up with a green scarf, her chubby face was covered with heavy make up; her lips were painted

Ryan drove around for some time and decided to park his car in front of Broadway Dive bar, it was around 5pm already. The agent locked his car and walked into the bar that lovely evening. He had come here so many times to chill out the stress of daily life, to drink and have a good time, and today he had a lot on his mind— actually he had someone on his mind. He couldn't stop seeing Lara's face in his memory; her lips, her eyes, her hair everything about her made him more stressed. He was stressed because he knew he tortured himself not to believe that he was attracted to her. She was a thief and a murderer, how could he be attracted to someone like that? He disguised the true nature of his feelings for Lara with the word Attraction, but deep down he hated to admit that he was crazy about her, he was in love with a criminal, someone whom he met just once and it wasn’t in a friendly situation. He wasn't sure if he actually wanted to catch her, arrest her and lock her up for her cri

"So Mr cutie what do you do for a living?" Lara asked with a drunken voice. "Uh– I might as well can't recall!"They laughed crookedly. "Look what you made me do, I think we're both drunk!" Ryan said with fallen eyes. "Yeah we're sooo drunk", she laughed again. "I work with the police department". "Oook so you're a police officer!" "Nope, Federal Bureau of Investigation", he smiled weirdly. "How do we go home?" Lara asked with her eyes hovering around the bar. "I can't drive, I'll just holler a cab!" "Yeah that'll be best!" She nodded in agreement. Ryan searched his back pockets for some cash, then he brought out a few notes and slapped them on the table as payment. He cleared his throat and stood up to leave. "Hey Eleanor, it was nice meeting you!" He waved at her and began to walk away. "Actually why don't we get a cab together? I'm going the-same way as you are!" Lara jumped out of her seat and ran after Ryan. She slippe

He felt a sharp pain on his lips and when touched it, a little stain of blood followed his finger tip. He gasped!He quickly bent the rear view mirror over to his side so he could have a better look at his face.Ryan was shocked to see bruises all over his face along with a swollen eye— one of his eye was so swollen that the skin underneath the eye and his eyelid became so close to each other, he could almost not see with that eye.

He also remembered that the front tires of the car were flattened out. He threw a punch at the steering wheel in anger. He got down from the car with a struggle; as he ached all over. He felt a deathly pain in his arm and leg, he had to lean over on the car to aid his movement.
