Sheldon never wanted nor desired a relationship. He definitely didn't think he would fall for the local criminal.

After being arrested at a university event for being drunk and disorderly-thanks to Penny of course-Sheldon finds himself In the cells of pasadena police station along with a beautiful young women with captivating blue eyes.

After getting bailed out they part ways not even knowing the others names..will he ever meet the mysterious blue eyed beauty again?

Chapter Seven.

Threats.

To say Sheldon was regretting his decision to be apart of Rosita's team was an understatement.

He wasn't sure why it took him so long to realise it was a bad idea but it finally hit him like a tonne of bricks.

This was an insane idea of his and he never should have gotten involved with her. She was just a random women he met in jail one morning who then stalked him! He should have known then to keep his distance.

"Not normal behaviour!"

He hadn't even spoken to her in over three months, no texts, no calls, no weird letters left on his bed, no random amounts of money going into his bank account. If it wasn't for the fact his work was still being funded he would have assumed she had been hurt.

He had come to realise she had been using him all along. All the sweet talk about still funding him even if he didn't work for her was utter crap. She knew exactly what she had been doing all along.

She was probably not contacting him on purpose too, he also believed she seduced him simply to entice him into her business.

He wondered if he should go to the police but that could lead to him being arrested too.

It didn't help that he did like her even though he knew she was a criminal and just using him.

Instead of dwelling on it he tried to get on with his work. He was starting to spend more time at his office than he did at home. Leonard was only slightly worried as he had seen Sheldon do this before, he had always snapped out of it eventually.

Although Sheldon spent the best part of his day locked away in his office staring at his whiteboard he wasn't actually doing much work. His mind would drift off and he would zone out.

Sheldon was again sat at his desk staring into the empty room. He didn't notice the door open, or the suited man stand In front of his desk until the man cleared his throat.

Sheldon jumped slightly. "Who are you? You can't he in here!" Sheldon snapped.

"Be quite Dr Cooper." The man ordered. He had a British accent.

"Who-" he started again but the man cut him off.

"You work for Rosita Ford don't you sir?" The man asked.

"I don't see how that's any of your business." Sheldon replied.

The man smirked. He opened up his bag and took out his laptop. He placed it on Sheldon desk facing him and played a video.

It was of him and Rob hacking into the computers during the bank robbery. The sound was clear and it was obvious what they were doing.

"You work for me now Dr Cooper." The man stated.

"I do not!" Sheldon snapped.

"Well then maybe the police might just get a copy of this tape.." The man smirked.

Sheldon rolled his eyes. "How stupid are you? That video is of me hacking advanced systems.. You don't think I can't find a way of deleting that video permanently?" Sheldon questioned crossing his arms with his own smirked plasters across his face.

"My, my. You are smart." He grinned.

Sheldon scoffed. "No, I'm a genius."

The man rolled his eyes. "Well as this clearly doesn't threaten you maybe this will." The man said showing another clip. This time it was the one of Rosita kissing him in the same room he and Rob had been hacking the computers in.

"Nothing threatening about that. I'm a grown man and she's a grown women. Kissing isn't illegal." Sheldon stated.

"I know that but what if I say threaten to kidnap her, torture her... Ooh maybe even kill her.." The man smirked.

Sheldon's eyes widened.

"What have I gotten myself in too!"

"I haven't spoken to her in months. I don't work for her anymore clearly and she doesn't mean anything to me. Your threats are pointless and I refuse to work for you. Take your device and leave my office." Sheldon ordered confidently.

The man just smirked and held up his hands. "Fair enough. Maybe I will see you around Sir." The man grinned as he exited the room.

"Ugh, I hope not." Sheldon muttered to himself.

He felt sick after the encounter with the man. He wasn't worried for himself or Rosita. She could clearly handle himself and he had the brain power to make any sort of evidence disappear.

"Thinking like a real criminal now Cooper!"

He groaned out loud.

"I am so stupid!" He grumbled out loud. "And this is why you don't get involved with women. Just like my father would say, they're nothing but trouble. Damn was he right."

Sheldon just wanted it all to be over with. No more Rosita, no crimes or threats, just back to being the annoying, weird guy who was married to his work.

Another month past with no contact from Rosita or crazy men in suits.

Sheldon had given up completely on her, he had even decided to go to Siebert and ask him to cancel the funding received from her. He would rather be without a job than be used by her, get threatened and potentially go to prison if all her scheming went to crap.

"So Dr Cooper, what can I do for you?" Siebert asked.

"The funding I am receiving for Ms Ford, I want it to stop."

"Well I was actually going to talk to you about that. It already has been stopped."

"What?!" Sheldon exclaimed clearly shocked.

"Well that just proves she never cared." He huffed.

"Ms Fords transactions stopped two months ago. We haven't been able to contact her about them either."

"Oh..." He replied quietly.

"Maybe it would be best if you tried to get in contact with her. You still have money left to continue working for a while but you will eventually need finding again. So no more drunken behaviour." He said sternly.

"Fine. I need to leave now." Sheldon

Said standing and walking towards the door.

"Okay, be sure to sort things out with Ms Ford."

"I will." Sheldon replied.

"Why did she stop the funding? I know I wanted it stopping but she seemed adamant on giving it me..and why hasn't she been in touch. It's been four months...maybe something bad has happened..." He thought.

The image of the man in a suit smirking popped into his mind.

"...what if I say threaten to kidnap her, torture her... Ooh maybe even kill her.."

"He didn't mean it surely?" Sheldon asked himself unsure.

Short chapter, sorry.
