This was bad, real bad. Annie looked to her left, noticing the perpetrator of the crime that was just committed trip over his unbuckled pants. She was about to swiftly arrest the scumbag when a loud scream pierced the silence of the alley. "GET AWAY! DONT TOUCH ME!" Annie turned around as fast as she could and felt her stomach churn. At the end of the alley the victim of the rape that just occurred held a broken bottle to the throat of her partner. Annie instantly reached for her .357, pulling back the hammer and aligning the iron sights with the head of the victim.
"Annie don't!" her partner exclaimed. Annie's brow furrowed and she let out a loud grunt.
"Dammit Armin, I am not doing this shit again! What have I said about consoling the victim!" Armin's sky blue eyes pierced her heart. Annie sighed in defeat and holstered her .357. Armin mouthed the words thank you and looked into the eyes of the victim, her eyes wild and jumpy.
"Hi my name is Armin Arlert and that's my partner Annie Leonhart." The girl glanced at the blonde woman and then back at the blonde man. "We are detectives of the Paradis City Police Department. I know what you just experienced is terrible and disgusting but I'm telling the truth when I say we just want to help you. What's your name?" The girl blinked and opened her mouth.
"Mina" Mina look into the eyes of the detective before her and noticed the age in the eyes of some one so young. Her eyes lingered down to the broken bottle she held close to his neck, she gasp and dropped the makeshift weapon and letting it shatter on the alley floor. "I'm so sorry! I didn't even realize..."
"It's okay Mina. I didn't even notice." What Armin did just notice was that Mina was stark naked. Mina just realized it as well and began turning a shade of red all over her body. "H-Here t-take my coa..." Armin's words trailed off as his partner strolled over and placed her jacket gently on Mina's shoulders.
"Come on Mina, let's get you to the hospital and get you cleaned up. We will have to get a description of your rapist since I let him slip away. I'm sorry for letting that happen." Annie turned away from Mina and started walking towards the street back to her car. Armin looked towards Annie, sadness in his eyes as he thinks to himself why can't she ever blame him for their shortcomings.

Annie was typing the last couple of sentences in her report when the door to the Captain's office opened.
"Arlert and Leonhart, I'm ready for your debriefing. Springer, Hange said she's ready for your and Braus's help." Annie looked towards her partner as he was already heading for the Captain's door. Annie wondered if he was planning anything since she always went first. Armin turned his head to her and gave her a heartfelt smile before closing the office door in her face. Annie blinked a couple times before reaching for the handle. Turning the handle she sighed upon discovering Armin locked the door.
"Arlert is there a reason you closed my door with your partner on the other side?" Erwin inspected his subordinate but couldn't find anything out of place in his body posture or his facial expressions. Armin looked to the floor and refused to look his captain in the eyes. He wasn't afraid of punishment but couldn't stand disappointing his superior officer. Erwin closed his eyes and put his hands together close to his mouth, almost as if he was praying. "You are gonna say that every time you and Leonhart fail to catch a suspect or are unable to get a witness to comply that it was your fault. Well save your breath Artlert because I know, do you really think that I don't care enough to double check every report with whoever writes it?" Armin was now staring at his captain, wide eyed in shock.
"I'm sorry Captain. I know we end up catching the suspect or getting the testimony in the end but if I was a better detective I would be able to handle cases quicker." Erwin opened his eyes and stood up.
"So what about Leonhart?" Erwin walked over to the coat rack in his office and took something from his jacket pocket. "Is she a good partner or are you and her having trouble again?" Armin looked at the door hoping to see a siloutte in the foggy glass that provided the captain privacy. Seeing nothing Armin sighed.
"She's the best partner I could ask for, she always has my back. Even if I make stupid decisions she doesn't falter in taking the blame for me." Erwin walked over to Armin and handed him two tickets. Armin took them and realized that the movie they were for started in two hours. " Sir, what are these?"
"Movie tickets obviously. My date cancelled on me so take Leonhart to go see it. As friends of course, otherwise I will have to find you a new partner and her a new friend. Besides she's never seen one right?" Armin looked down the tickets in his hands.
"Sir," He attempted to hand the them back. "I don't think we can afford to take personal time off with such a case load. It be best if we-"
"Do not argue with me, Detective Arlert. As your Captain, I am ordering you and Leonhart to go watch this movie." Armin hid a smile and put the tickets in his pocket.
"Thank you, Captain."

Armin can't believe that Annie and him just got out of one of the most sappiest movies he has ever seen. Granted he enjoyed it, especially with Annie, except he didn't know why he cared more about what she thought. "So Annie, how was your first movie...ever I guess?"
"I...liked it." Annie looked at Armin with her electric blue eyes and smiled. "Armin, did you mean what you said to the captain?" Annie's eyes never left his own.
"Of course. Partner." Armin said while playfully punching Annie's arm. Annie smiled.
"Next time you put your life at risk just to make someone feel better, I'll do this harder. Partner." Armin looked puzzled.
"Do what hard..." But before Armin could finish Annie reared her fist back and punched Armin right in the stomach.
