Arabella felt her head heavy and throbbing as she laid her hand on her forehead. Did she fall asleep? Her eyes fell on the clock on the wall and she breathed out a low grunt. It was way after 2am. She was supposed to get the job done an hour ago.

With a groan she forced herself to sit up, everything around her spinning for a moment before it all fell into place. She had been laying on the floor of her ranted apartment - a cover up to be closer to her target.
The pizza box beside her was still open with the half-eaten piece of cheese pizza inside, the way she'd left it before an unexplainable tiredness had overcome her. A shiver crept up on her then, goosebumps rising on her skin when a light breeze coming from the dark night outside hit her. The balcony doors were wide open, she realised. And her eyes grew wide. It can't be.

She immediately stood up, legs wobbling a little from her deep slumber and went out. It was silent at the backyard of the apartment buildings. Only a stray cat pushing a can disrupting its peacefulness.
A rope was tied on the balcony railing, dangling in the wind all the way up to the window of the building diagonally from hers. The wind blew again, tousling her waves and she tucked them away into a high ponytail with a huff.
This damn -

Grabbing the zipper of her hoodie, she got rid of her clothes in a swift move, revealing the tight black attire she had been wearing underneath. She pulled out her extra layered gloves and slid them over her hands before hooking her belt to the rope and swinging herself onto it. With crossed legs and a tight grip she began pulling herself up to the other apartment's window. When finally reaching it, she unhooked herself and pushed the ajar window open and climbed inside. 

"Sedating me to preempt me. Quite rude and not very gentleman-like of you," she puffed out a blow of air. Crossing her arms over her chest upsetly as her eyes stared at the other thief with an angry glare. It hadn't been difficult to figure out who had been behind this after all, her first assumption proving right.

A short laugh escaped the man's plump lips as his hands paused from working on the safe. He heaved his cheek from the cold metal then, facing her with a bright smile. "Oh darling, Bella, I'd never try preempting you."
"Save your breath, Jimin," she snorted, not believing him one bit. After all it hadn't been the first time one of them used unfair methods on the other when they happened to be after the same thing. "You were the delivery boy, right?"
"Indeed," he faked a sigh then, wiggling his head, "Kinda disappointing you didn't recognise me under the disguise. Guess my disguises are just that good, huh?" She rolled her eyes at his cheeky grin, choosing not to comment on it. Partially because she felt embarrassed with herself for not foreseeing this happening, partially because she didn't want to feed his ego any more.
"I like your new hair by the way, it suits you," he said then before focusing back on the safe, adding with a smirk to himself, "Makes you extra dangerous and hot."

She blinked confused before processing what he meant, remembering he hadn't seen her with her current hairstyle yet. Blazing red colour and bangs. She clicked her tongue, only mumbling a "Thanks" though. About to proceed further into the room when Jimin abruptly held his hand up, signing for her to stop.
"You might wanna rethink that, love." He pointed at the corners of the luxurious furnished office room. It was dark so she could clearly see the red dots coming from the laser alarm system.
"Thought you had disabled any alarm system."
"Let's say I was too lazy to diable them all."
She hummed and zipped down her black leather jacket, taking out a small spray bottle from between her chest and spraying its content. And indeed, red laser beams were crossing through the whole room. "How did you cross them without disabling them?"
He laughed under his breath and winked at her. "You should know how flexible I am," he smirked and pressed his cheek against the cold metal again, making her audibly snort.
