"Have I ever told you how sexy you sound reading someone their Miranda rights?"
Chantelle throws her head back against his shoulder with laughter. "No, but you have now."

At this time in the morning, the airport is bustling with people. Businessmen, lone travelers, and families alike are headed for a destination far away.
It's honestly a miracle they were able to get a last-minute flight so close to the holidays.
"Fuck, I'm so tired." Chantelle groans, shutting her eyes as she gets settled in her plane seat.
Since they got their tickets so late, she wasn't able to sit close to Taehyung. In fact, they end up a couple rows apart.
But the flight isn't very long, only about three hours, so she's not that upset about it.
After the plane takes off and starts to run smoothly, Chantelle preoccupies herself by thinking about the challenge that lies ahead of them.
When they arrive in Miami, they have to meet with some officials from the homicide unit in order to devise a plan for tonight. And if it goes well, this will all be over. Costello will get what he deserves.
It's definitely a daunting task, but she's ready for it.
So caught up in her daydreaming, Chantelle barely even registers the voice of the pilot over the loudspeaker.
"We have now arrived at Miami International Airport and we will be disembarking shortly. Thank you for flying with us today."
Well, here goes nothing.
The detective rolls her carry-on through the airport, looking for her partner. He was a couple rows ahead of her, so she reasons that he should be off the plane already.
After some time, she finally spots him standing in front of a duty free store with his luggage, talking and laughing with some pretty blonde woman.
C'mon, really?
She resists the urge to roll her eyes as she strides up to them. "Hey, are you ready to go?"
"Oh, there you are. Yeah, let's go." Taehyung smiles brightly, seeming not to notice Chantelle's annoyed expression whatsoever. "It was nice meeting you, good luck with that audition!"
He waves at the woman before following his partner further into the airport.
"That was Sarah, she sat next to me on the plane. She's a model, you know." Taehyung informs her. "She said she's here to audition for a really important gig. I think it was Calvin Klein or something like that."
"Oh, that's nice." Chantelle hums, her grip on her luggage growing tighter with every passing second.
She remains quiet for most of the morning. When Taehyung points out something or asks a question, she answers it in the shortest way possible.
There is a strange mixture of feelings brewing inside of her. She's definitely jealous, but she feels like she shouldn't be. After all, he was just being friendly.
