"Here you are Inspector."

"Thank you. That will be all."

Riko Zenigata was the only daughter of Inspector Koichi Zenigata and had always admired her dad. Every day when she was little all she wanted to do was "Catch bad guys like daddy." Of course with her being so involved wither father's work she had learned and involved herself in the 'Lupin Case'. She watched as her father spent many nights at the office and many years tacking and chasing down the master thief and his gang. Riko wanted so badly for her father's hard work to payoff but every time her father came close to nabbing the slick Lupin he would slither away like the trickster he was.

Eventually Koichi Zenigata's age (and back issue) go to him causing him more pain just bending down to pick something up, let alone try to catch a thief. So 3 years ago after his retirement his lovely daughter Riko took her father's place and became the youngest inspector in the whole police department at age 26. And her main goal since she took her father's place was to catch Aresne Lupin III, Daisuke Jigen, Goemon Ishikawa XIII, and Fujiko Mine. And she would catch them no matter what she had to do but one thing was for certain she wanted them alive. Riko had it all played out in her head.

She would capture Lupin and bring her father to the prison.

Open the cell and take out a pair of shiny handcuffs and let her father have the honor of handcuffing the world's greatest thief Lupin III.

She could just see the pride in her father's face mixed in with happiness. It almost made her cry.

She sighed and sipped her cup of coffee at her desk while she began flipping through an officer's request to leave early.

"'Undisclosed medical problems'? What could that mean?" she mumbled to herself. Since Riko didn't feel like being bothered she just shrugged and signed her signature at the bottom and the dropping the file in the 'OUT' box on her cluttered desk.

I have got to clean up. She though as she looked around her messy office. Paper covered the floor as her coat and hat (that where her father's) thrown in the corner, more papers and file crowed her desk along with paper clips and pens.

Knock Knock

"Come in." she said still looking at her trashed room.

"Um...Inspector Zenigata we have a lead on Lupin's next heist." said the shy secretary, Ms. Bunko, peeking her head through the door.

Riko sprang from her chair, grabbed her coat and hat and ran out the door scaring Ms. Bunko. "Give me something." Riko said while walking towards the police chief's office. "Well we um- know that he will be at the - um L.A. Hollywood Museum for the only- um copy of um-the 14kart gold Oscar statue." she said while trying to catch up to Riko. "Wait." said Riko "I thought that they were always solid gold?"

"Nope. Would cost too much. But they are made of steel with a gold like weight and color substance." Ms. Bunko said almost as if everyone knew that. "Well then I want you to take the day off go buy some new clothes and meet me here at 10:00." "Why?" Riko stopped right in front of the chief's office. "Cuz' where going to Hollywood." she said smiling at Ms. Bunko. "But what about the Chief! Will he approve?"

Riko opened the door. "Don't worry I got It." she said walking in and slamming the door shut.

After an hour of yelling, swearing, and few other censored things Riko had gotten her approval to send 15 men with her and the agreement with the LAPD. "I'm going to finally get Lupin." she said while walking to her apartment to pack.

Lupin had been sitting at his desk thinking about his next job. He had always watched every year the Oscars on TV and now he would have his hands on one. "Can't wait can ya?" said Jigen as he sat on Lupin's desk. "They'll love me after this one!" he said excited. "You know I head Pop's is on his way there." said Jigen as he took out his gun and a cloth and began cleaning it. Lupin smiled. "I can't wait. It's been awhile."

Suddenly Goemon rushed into the room. "You won't believe what I found out." he said slamming down a newspaper on Lupins desk. "What?" he said. Jigen looked up at the article Goemon was pointing to. "Wow." he said. "What?!" said Lupin getting ticked off. He snatched the paper and read the article. "'New Inspector Youngest to Join. Inspector Riko Zenigata, daughter of former police inspector Koichi Zenigata, is the youngest to join the force at the age of 26.'" Lupin looked at the paper. "He had a kid?" Lupin asked as he looked back up at Goemon and Jigen. They shrugged their shoulders and just stood there.

Lupin looked at the picture of Riko Zenigata. Her long black hair covered by the same hat her father wore and his trench coat covered her curves while hiding the white shirt and black pants she wore. Her confident smile beamed at him as she stood next to the chief of the police department. She also had in her hands her father's handcuffs with Lupin's name engraved in them. Lupin just looked at the picture of Riko.

'How could someone like Zenigata have a kid that...that... beautiful.' thought Lupin as he just looked at her flawless face. "Oh no. Looks like Fujiko is going to get mad. She just got bumped down to number two on Lupin's 'To Bang List'." said Jigen motioning to Lupin with his head as he continued to clean his gun. Goemon looked at Lupin to find that he was drooling and it began to fall from the corner of his mouth and make a small pool on his desk. Goemon, as calm as he was, couldn't help but snicker at this sight.

I mean who would have thought that Lupin would have the hots for Zenigata?
