Red Flags and Long Nights

Although he would never tell her, Bobby was thrilled by how she looked. The shirt was fluorescent pink with black trim and both the sleeves and the bottoms were ruffled. It was longer in the front and came up in the back at least two inches above the skirt. The skirt really was too short, even for going undercover. The same pink alternated with black pleats, and a tiny skull was attached to the front. He assumed the underwear was part of the skirt, but he couldn't be quite sure. The leggings were more pink and black; the boots plain black. They were chunky and gave her an extra three or four inches. How she could walk in them, let alone dance, or chase a suspect, was beyond him.

The make-up was great, continuing the pink and black theme. Bobby never would've thought he'd get to see his parter in black lipstick and bright pink eye shadow, but there she was, and it looked surprisingly good. Her hair was undeniably the best part. She had it split down the middle and pulled up into pigtails, one on each side. The left was that bright pink again, and the right pitch black.

For once, the logical part of Bobby's brain was suppressed, completely overwhelmed by how amazing she looked. Vague thoughts of where she had gotten the clothes, or who had done her hair floated aimlessly through his head, but he ignored them.

Pulling himself together, or at least trying to, he managed a strangled, "Hi, Alex."
