Caitlyn sighed as another bullet missed the dodging girl.

"HAH! Missed me again, Hat Lady!" the criminal shouted, mocking her as the plastic bullet shattered harmlessly against a nearby wall. With that being the sixth missed bullet, Caitlyn was reminded just how good a decision it was to switch to the non-lethal bullets when chasing Jinx. At least with these, Caitlyn didn't have to worry about too much unnecessary collateral damage in her missed shots.

Granted, she wouldn't have to worry about missing in the first place if Jinx just stood still…

"One of these will eventually land, and you will regret all of your mocking when it does…" the annoyed sheriff muttered, taking aim at the teasing girl once more.

"Pfft," Jinx waved her off. "You're all talk, Hat Lady. You can't hit me. Hell, you couldn't hit me to save your life!" And to add emphasis to her words, Jinx stuck her tongue out at Caitlyn, with her eyes closed, and blew a raspberry.

Deadpanning at the obnoxious gesture, Caitlyn took aim again, and shot at the girl once more. However, unlike previous attempts, she managed to take Jinx by surprise this time and hit the girl in the shoulder as Jinx tried to dodge it. As the bullet shattered against the girl's clavicle, she collapsed to the ground, gripping her injury and moaning.

"Oww...that really hurt, Hat Lady," she whined, massaging her shoulder. Satisfied, Caitlyn lowered her gun into its holster, and pulled out a pair of cuffs. She then walked over to the injured girl, ready to capture her.

"Well then...I suppose that it is a good thing my life isn't in danger, huh?" Caitlyn returned, reflecting on Jinx's insult. But Jinx only moaned louder, causing Caitlyn to roll her eyes and move closer.

"Alright already, quit your complaining. I'll get you some pain relievers back at the station, and besides, it's only a plastic bullet. It didn't even penetrate, for crying out loud." Caitlyn muttered, quickly growing tired of hearing Jinx's noise. But Jinx ignored her, still whining. Shaking her head, Caitlyn lowered herself to the girl, and grabbed for one of Jinx's arms.

However, much to her surprise, Jinx grabbed her before she could, and pulled Caitlyn to face her.

"Aha, you really believed that act?" Jinx giggled, pain all but forgotten and replaced with a wide smirk. "That didn't hurt anything but my feelings, haha." And with that, she took advantage of Caitlyn's surprise, and yanked the cuffs out Caitlyn's hands, putting them on the Sheriff instead.

Caitlyn gasped and attempted to break free once she realized what was happening, but despite her struggles, Jinx had managed to close the cuffs around her, rendering the Sheriff incapacitated. And to make matters worse, Jinx took another pair of cuffs off Caitlyn and linked the Sheriff's legs in them, as well as taking the keyring for the cuffs off the Sheriff.

"Ah, there we go! Now the shoe is on the other foot! Those cuffs aren't too comfortable, are they? You've got me in them enough times for me to know just how much they suck," Jinx remarked with an irritating smirk once finished with her bindings.

Looking down at her bound self, Caitlyn could only mutter the criminal's name in her rage.

"Jinx…" Caitlyn growled out.

"Caitlyn." the girl mimicked, replacing the name but matching the tone and drawn out syllables, only to further annoy the Sheriff.

The Sheriff closed her eyes, counting to ten in her exasperation. She would've pinched the bridge of her nose too, but she was rather...indisposed at the moment.

"...Let me go...right this instant, or else I will personally make sure you rot in a cell for the rest of your miserable life. I will find the grittiest one in solitary confinement and reduce your daily meal to crumbs and dirt. I will make your life my personal variant of hell, and do everything within my power to make you regret every single misdeed of yours when I capture you," Caitlyn hissed, not able to do much else in her situation but threaten the terrorist. And even if she could do something, she was much to angry at both herself for getting captured, and at Jinx for obvious reasons, to think of a way out.

However, much to her further anger, Jinx got up, readying to leave, completely ignoring her threats. "Heh, as fun as that sounds, I'm gonna have to pass on that one, thanks. Not that you'd ever capture me in the first place. But you can have fun sitting there, Hat Lady, and, don't worry, I'm sure Vi will come and save you once she is done with...done with...wait, what is she doing again?"

Caitlyn scowled and averted her eyes, face red from embarrassment and rage. "...She is sleeping in the cruiser…" Vi had taken a nap, not expecting to see much action on the duo's patrol of the district, and Caitlyn simply allowed her, thinking the same. However, when the Sheriff had spotted Jinx vandalizing and graffiting private property, she had attempted to wake Vi up, but quickly gave up after realizing how difficult it would be to do so, and that Jinx could escape before accomplished the feat. And now she was paying for the decision…

Damn it. I should've just taken the time to wake her up...

She heard Jinx burst into laughter at her words, further inciting anger in the Sheriff. And as the girl continued to laugh harder, Caitlyn made a mental note to make sure Vi stops staying up to abysmal hours in the night, and napping on patrols...

"Ahahaha. That idiot is sleeping on the job?! What am I saying, of course she is. Haha, that's amazing! Well then, have fun waiting hours for her to wake up and unlock you, Hat Lady." Jinx stated, turning around. "In the meantime, I'm just gonna go vandalize some private property. Sound good? Good."

"Wait, no! Don't you dare go anywhere, damn it!" Caitlyn shouted, attempting to provoke Jinx into staying. "You come back here and unlock me. Right now!"

Luckily, her words did seem to have some effect, as Jinx stopped and turned around. However, she merely smirked at the helpless Sheriff, much to Caitlyn's displeasure.

"Oh, and why should I?" Jinx questioned, with a challenge in her voice. Her response baffled Caitlyn, as the Sheriff was not sure how to respond to such a question.

"W-What? What kind of inquiry is that? You will come back or I will hunt you down and imprison you. What the hell else were you expecting me to say?" Caitlyn responded incredulously.

"Hmm. I don't know to be honest, but definitely something better than that. And besides, it's not like you won't 'try' to imprison me regardless of what I do. So I might as well leave you like that, unless you can do something better for me."

Caitlyn closed her eyes and scowled once more in frustration.

"...What...do….you want, Jinx?" Caitlyn growled slowly, growing more and more impatient and irritated as time passed.

"I don't knooow," the girl whined, stomping her foot. "But it has to be good. Something like getting to take your cruiser for a joy ride, or like painting Vi's sleeping face. Or maybe something like getting to wear your hat. Orrr…" the terrorist paused, growing a devious smile as examined Caitlyn.

"...Or what exactly?" Caitlyn questioned, feeling somewhat uncomfortable under the girl's scrutiny.

"Or maybe..." the smirk grew wider, "a simple kiss would suffice."

However, Caitlyn reeled back at her request, going wide-eyed in offense. "What? No! Absolutely not. I'm not going to kiss you, you psychopath. Why do you think I would ever consider that?"

Jinx frowned, clearly not enjoying the Sheriff's outburst. "Oh come on, Hat Lady. I'm not that bad at kissing, and heck, at least I'm asking. I could've simply forced you into one, and it's not like you could really stop me right now. So you should appreciate that."

"No. I don't care. I'm not kissing you, Jinx."

"Hmph, fine. Hopefully Vi wakes up soon enough to help you. But last I've checked, that meathead can sleep for a straight thirteen hours. I saw her do it once in her own car. So good luck getting her help." Jinx started to walk off, but before she got too far, she turned and spoke once more. "Oh, and don't forget that this neighborhood we're in, isn't the most…legal or safe one. And I've heard some nasty tales here, especially some of gang rape being common here. Hopefully nothing of the sorts happens to you. After all, I'd feel absolutely terrible if my dear ol' Hat Lady was spoiled like that, simply because she didn't want to kiss me." Jinx dramatized, as if to convince Caitlyn that getting kissed by her wasn't nearly that bad, before walking away again.

Caitlyn frowned, and looked back towards her cruiser. It was parked at the end of the block, and would take a good detail of time to get to it even without being restrained. As it stands, it would take an extremely long, excessively so, amount of time to crawl to it, and then even longer to wake Vi up and get freed.

She groaned, realizing that Jinx's proposal might be worth the humiliation of it all. She didn't much worry about the supposed tales of gang rape and what not, but not only would it save her a substantial amount of time, she might also be able to overtake the criminal once freed and get revenge for this ordeal she found herself in. As such, she sighed and swallowed her pride.

"Jinx, wait…" She called out. The girl stopped and turned back to her, with an inquisitive gaze.

"...I'll...I'll do it. I'll...kiss you…" Caitlyn barely managed out, causing Jinx's grin to return.

"Heh, I knew you'd come around. Kinda. You're really stubborn, but I felt like I got you with the gang rape stuff," Jinx admitted, walking back over to the Sheriff. Caitlyn merely rolled her eyes after the girl, ignoring her comments, and preparing herself for the terrorist's tainted lips to grace hers. To think, her first kiss-even if she doesn't place much value in it-would be with Jinx of all people...

"You know, I've always wondered what it'd be like to kiss you," Jinx mentioned as she got closer. "You're kinda cute to be honest.

"S-shut up, and get on with it already." Caitlyn muttered, cursing herself for stuttering. She couldn't help but blush herself at Jinx's pathetic compliment, despite herself and her situation. Jinx noticed her reddening and chuckled, but she obliged and pulled the Sheriff's lips to hers.

At her initial contact with Jinx's foreign and offending lips, Caitlyn was stiff, and unwilling to return the kiss. However, as time passed, she found herself easing in, and even returned it. She was even...enjoying it slightly-not to say she'd ever say that out loud of course-and it was perplexing the hell out of her. She wanted nothing more than to push Jinx off, and put a bullet in the annoying pest of a criminal...and yet, at the same time she wanted nothing more than to pull Jinx closer and fully give in to the taste of the girl's lips.

And with both desires drastically conflicting internally, she didn't know what to do, but stay in Jinx's grasp. However, Jinx let her go not too long after, evidently satisfied.

"Damn, that was a million times better than I thought it would be. And it was definitely worth getting shot in the shoulder for," Jinx stated with a wide grin.

Caitlyn rolled her eyes at Jinx's words, but couldn't help but catch Jinx's contagious smile. "I'm sure it was. Now, you have to uphold your end and release me," Caitlyn commanded.

"Alright, I suppose a deal is a deal." Jinx followed through, and grabbed the key ring. She then used it to unlock the cuffs on Caitlyn's legs first. However, instead of taking them to unlock the cuffs around the Sheriff's wrists, she tossed the ring far away in the direction of Caitlyn's cruiser. At seeing the shock on the Sheriff's face, Jinx chuckled, readily angering the Sheriff.

"Jinx…" Caitlyn growled out, only causing the girl to laugh harder.

"Haha, you really thought I'd unlock both of them? That's cute. I might be crazy, but I'm not stupid, Hat Lady. I know you would try to get them on me as soon as they're off you. Nah, I'm not gonna let you do that. You're gonna have to go over there and get them yourself, while I make my little getaway," she explained with her infamous smile.

Caitlyn narrowed her eyes in a scowl before closing them in exasperation. However, a moment after, she reopened them with a malicious smile in place of the scowl.

"Well then, you better hope for your sake that you 'getaway' is successful, because once I get free, I'm going to take my rifle and plant a bullet in you that hurts much more than just your feelings." She threatened.

Jinx winced at the Sheriff's words, and started backing away. "Noted. Good thing I'm a fast runner then, right?"

However, Caitlyn paid no mind to her words, and began making her way over to where she saw the keys fly. But before she got take another step, she felt air grace the top of her head, and realized something was missing. Something important...her hat.

"Oh, might as well snag this while I'm running. Not every day I get a kiss and your hat from you Hat-less Lady." And with those final words, Jinx skipped away, knowing that Caitlyn was furious and to stay any longer would be begging for pain. And lo and behold, she heard Caitlyn shout her name a moment after, drawing a chuckle out of her.
