Sheriff Office of Piltover
"How many times do we have to have this conversation, Vi?!" Sighed the Sheriff of Piltover. Her new partner revealed herself handy, but costly sometimes. Caitlyn didn't understand her need to break things while on pursuit.
The Enforcer only looked bored while lying on the office's couch, her arms hung and her eyes closed. "Chill, cupcake. They resisted, what can I do if their place had lots of junk?" Vi said, sitting up. "It was only a few vases and bottles, anyways. They should be arrested for having so many drinks. I bet they're drunk most of the time."
Caitlyn sat on her desk, piles of paperwork waiting for her attention – but an specific pile brought her more headache than the others. Vi's destruction expenses pile. "They resisted?" She asked, even though she knew the answer already. "I bet you asked them to resist, so you could have fun. Again."
Vi stood up and headed to the Sheriff's desk, resting her hands loudly on it. "Look, cupcake. You don't like my way of doing things, do it yourself. I'm tired of these conversations about how expensive my actions can be." She said, challenge in her words and a smirk on her face.
"It's not only about the expenses, and you know it." Caitlyn retorted. "People are more afraid of you than they are of ruffians, nowadays." The Sheriff seemed tired of having this discussion as well, but her job was her duty, and she lived for it. She was going to carry on her lecture about how a law enforcer shouldn't be feared by the people, when the doors of the office were blown open loudly, a man carrying a massive hammer walking in confidently.
"Greetings, ladies! Where's the most beautiful Sheriff of Runeterra?! I heard we have a date scheduled for today's afternoon." Jayce said, crossing his arms and standing behind Vi, who only threw the Defender a disgusted look. She hated his pompous manners.
Caitlyn didn't enjoy Jayce's ways of announcing himself either, but he did do his job well. And people didn't fear him; quite the opposite. The Defender of Tomorrow was popular among civilians, especially the ladies, though neither the Sheriff nor the Enforcer really understood why. Vi got out of the way, going back to her couch and rest; she knew once Jayce started courting Caitlyn it got too sweet a talk for her to stand without punching someone. And she didn't want the Sheriff going on and on about her keeping cool problems.
The Sheriff herself, on the other hand, could not get off so easily. She had so much more to attend to, why of all days did Jayce have to come today, she asked herself. "I do not recall making any appointments with you, Defender. Meaning your business here isn't scheduled." She said in a cold tone, wishing he would just let her go back to her job.
He obviously wouldn't. "You're so cold, Cait. But that's fine, I'm used to it and I love your sharp accent when you're angry." Jayce said, finally noticing Vi was there as well. "What's the punk still doing here? I hope not working, cause that'd mean destruction in Piltover."
Vi's eyebrow raised steeply upon hearing the statement. Jayce could woo over Caitlyn all he wanted, she could stand it as long as he didn't talk to her. Or about her. But implying she didn't do her job well enough? That'd only give her another reason to punch his charming face. "Oh my, Jaycey, are you jealous that I get to work with your beloved Caitlyn and you don't?" She taunted, standing up.
For that comment he turned and faced the Enforcer. She was a little shorter than the man, but it didn't seem so, looking at all her confidence facing him. "I might be a little jealous, yes. Also curious about how does she stand being with you for so long." He said, grinning.
"Hmm, I like your smile. Gives me something to aim at!" Vi said, backing down a little and making a punch stance, aiming at his face.
The Sheriff wasn't at all pleased by the thought of fight inside the office and she knew if Jayce was there without previous warning, it had to be something urgent. So Caitlyn stood up, arms crossed. "No fights in the office, Vi. Jayce, what is it you need to tell us? You're here for a reason, I suppose." She said in her low voice, making them both step back.
Jayce sat on the chair opposite to Caitlyn, resting his arms on his knees. She was right, it was something important. "The League just summoned all the champions. We have five days to be in the Institute of War." He put it simply, but they knew that if all the champions were being summoned, it wasn't a good thing to deal with. Even Vi who was one of the newest champion there knew that, and sat back quietly.
After some minutes of reflection, Caitlyn stands up, put on her hat and gets her riffle, turning to the other two. "We must warn the Yordle Academy as well. Hermerdinger and the others rarely go out of their laboratories, they most likely don't know about the summon yet." She said before going out the office, followed by the Defender and the Enforcer.
On their way, they caught the eye of the people. It was a rare to see Vi and Caitlyn together, only the most troublesome cases required it. But Vi, Caitlyn and Jayce called even more attention. It was well known that the Enforcer and the Defender did not get along well. What could demand them all to be together? As they arrived at the Academy, Vi lets out a sigh. "I hate this bunch of scientists." And they got inside.
