I took slow breaths as I held my gun close to me. He could come out any second now. The entire SWAT team has every inch covered up the high rise building. He has no escape.Suddenly I felt someone creep from behind. I quickly pulled my gun in the direction aiming for a direct hit.
"Whoa!" Swati put up her hands.
"It's you." I lowered my gun down calmly.
"Why you got to be so scared." She laughed and returned to seriousness. "Ok the captain has given orders to change shift, you're free for break."
"So soon? It's only been 30 minutes."
"Captain's orders." She shrugged and took my place.
"Ok." I turned around and walked away.
Swati was my best friend in the force and we were partnered up for this case so I didn't feel anything suspicious.
But......something was off. She didn't give off her usual vibe. Something was different. It was familiar but I couldn't place my hand on it.
I quickly turned on my radio. "0-1-0 allowed?" I asked in.
"What? Are you crazy? He might come out any second." Captain Yi yelled in.
"But sir, you gave the orders."
"I didn't."
I turned off the radio.
"Fuck!"
I ran quickly towards the diamond room. They were gone! All of them!
The guards and police placed there were sleeping. I quickly covered my nose with my handkerchief and ran up to the balcony through the stairs.
Swati was standing there with a bag.
"Swati...or should I say Knox?" I hissed.
"Babe. Finally. I was waiting for you." He ripped off the disguise.
"NYPD! FREEZE!"
He held up his hands jokingly. "Quick question. What's the colour of your thongs today?"
"Are you serious? You know I never wear thongs."
"You never know when you could get lucky." He smirked.
God. I hate how hot he looked even when he was stealing.
"Knox Judy. Prepare to rot in jail."
"Aww thanks babe. But it's not gonna happen. I simply can't leave my beautiful wife alone for a decade." He let out a stupid grin and jumped off the building.
"I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN TO HELL IF IT'S THE LAST THING I EVER GOT TO DO!"
"LOVE YOU TOO CHUNKY!" He sent a coolest flying kiss and somehow flew magically.
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!"
I thumped my hands against the concrete in anger "AGHHHHHHH!!!!"
"Why you looking so down?" Swati asked as I filed my paperwork.
"He. Slipped away. Again." I gritted my teeth. "Again! This time he was pretending to be you. I should have known since you were absent that day."
