Lightning Farron walked throught the streets of Bodhum in her usual patrolling route. That day had been a slow one and apart from a small pickpocket there had been no problems at all.
Knowing that her weekly movie night with her sister serah was occupying most of her thoughts make it easy to tell that her shift was nearing to an end. If she was lucky enough she would finish up her patrol at the center´s plaza without any incidents.
"Robber!"
If… being the keyword. The sergeant shot herself to the next corner to witness a solitary figure running in her direction. The figure was that of a man, average age and size, dark blue shirt and brown pants. His right hand accompanied by a bright pink purse that didn´t match at all with his attire.
"Stop, Bodhum Security Regiment!"
Ignoring her order the robber deviated himself from the more open street to an alleyway to his left.
"Why most they always make it difficult?" Charging in the direction of the alley lightning shouted again "Stop or I will make you!" He can´t say he wasn´t warned.
Taking blazefire out of its holster she shot a warning shot just above the criminals head. The bullet embedded itself in the nearest wall provoking no response from the robber.
"cht! You want it the hard way? You will have it then."
The sergeant caught up to the guy in a matter of seconds and with a swift kick made him trip to the ground. The poor fellow could do nothing but grunt and grab at his nose. For he couldn´t even use his hands to lessen the fall.
"I told you to stop now stay where you are or you will have it worse."
After that, it was just a matter of cuffing and taking the thief to the station to be processed, of course, not before assuring the owner of the purse that she would have it back as soon as possible.
"I´m back." Shouted lightning just as she entered her house.
"What took you so long?" Answered the soft voice of her sister from the living room not at all surprised by her lateness.
"An idiot thought that stealing a purse just minutes before the end of my shift was a good idea." Responded her big sister with an annoyed look on her face.
"Of course you dealt with him accordingly." A devious smirk adorned serah´s face while saying this. "Come and sit, I just chose the movie."
