Avery

I kicked the crook hard, causing him to fall. My partner, Liam, joined me at that moment, and handcuffed him.

"Nice job, rookie." He smiled, and I just turned away. This was after I was caught by Carmelita. I was forced to be a cop; and I was put as liam's partner. He was happy, but I was still pissed.

"Aww, still angry cuz big sissy took away your thieving privalges?"

"Go away, Liam."

"Or is it something else? "

"No."

(Time skip to a couple of weeks later)

"Good work as always, you two. Now, Carmelita has a lead on Cooper. She'll tell you the details."

"Thank you, inspector barkely." I said, leaving Liam and the inspector alone. I walked to Carmelita's office, hoping it was unlocked. It wasn't. But knowing Carm, I looked in the plant next to the door. The key was there. I smiled and unlocked it. The lights were off, and for a good reason. A thief was in her safe!

"Wait!" I yelled as he turned to leave.

"W-who are you?" I asked. He walked to the window, revealing him to be a raccoon I only saw once before.

"Just a classic thief, Milady." He gave me a smirk, and then went out the fire escape. I ran to the window to see him getting shot at by Carmelita.

"You can't escape me, raccoon!" She yelled as he drove away.

"Who was that?" I asked her.

"No one you need to be concerned about. "

"Carmelita, is that your boyfriend?!"

"N-no! Just- let's go inside."

Just then, I knew I wanted to be a thief again.

These memories, they just keep coming back. I just stared at him, wanting to tell him what had happened. But I couldn't.

"Aves-" he began, but I only placed my hand on his shoulder.

"Liam please. Can we...go to your base?"

"Of course. C'mon rookie."

He led me to a small two story house, where a cop car was parked in the garage. He entered, and I followed him. He then led me to his room upstairs, and locked the door.

"Carmelita doesn't need to know you're here." He said. I sat down in a plush chair; him on the bed.

"Tell me everything." He said. I looked at him, then I began to tell him. Everything. From the death of my parents to fighting clock-la. Even Venice and Australia. The whole time, he looked at me, and listened carefully. His face never changed. When I was done, he only looked at my face.

"You've been through alot. Where's your "partner"?"

"He is not an issue. My heart still belongs to you" I said, standing. He stood as well, meeting me halfway. Our lips met suddenly, and the old passion returned. I knew that I was treading dangerous waters, but I missed him. I broke away, his eyes still closed. I slipped out, leaving a calling card.

Avery? Avery! Bentley yelled through my earpiece, which I just put on.

"Yeah, yeah! I hear ya. What's up?"

I was calling for half an hour.

"My earpiece was do you need?"

Meet me in front of General Tsao's palace. You have a job.

"Aww, get Cooper to do it! I am seriously freezing my tail off!"

He's doing something else. Just do it

"Fine." I said, joining him. He was in a weird outfit. Well, weird for me, because my definition of "Chinese" attire is waaayy different than his.

I sighed, and crossed my arms.

"Okay, so Avery, you need to do some undercover work on Tsao."

"Done." I said, pushing open the door and walking inside. Tsao was in the back, near his bell. I walked over and got on on knee.

"General Tsao. It is a pleasure seeing you again."

"Dragonlily! It is a honor." He bowed in return. I stood.

"You have been well?" I asked.

"Yes. Have you heard? I am to be Wed soon. To my fiancee, Jing King."

"That is wonderful! I heard that pyro maniac is after you. What are you going to do!"

"Oh, That pathetic fool cannot stop me! I wish for your- services, however. "

"Name it, my general."

"Make sure that Jing King is safe. And no wedding crashers!"

"Consider it done."
