Ch. 5 I Can't Do It

(Present Times)

At the station.

"I want every piece of information on the Prowler that we have...now." Chief Stacy barked out.

"This guy just murked 3 stockholders and didn't even bother to conceal the bodies. About $200,000 worth of medical supplies was stolen just the other day." A voice informed.

"We gotta catch him, like yesterday. Does anyone have any info on where he frequents the most?"

"He likes a particular hospital near the center of down town." Someone added.

"He's a villain, why would he need more medical supplies?"

"We keep injuring him of course."

As the conversation turned to a bickering match, (Name)'s head spiraled out of control. She was doing this.

Her mission was to bring down the Prowler.

To bring down Miles.

'Enough,' she thought, 'your mission is more important than past connections.'

'Not like he gave a shit about you anyway.'

(Name) stood from her chair and made her way to the center of the commotion.

"We'll ambush him." She directed.

"Does anyone know exactly between what hours he goes to the medical facility?"

"At like 11:00 p.m."

"What floor has supplies missing usually?"

"The top floor but-"

"Alright," she stated. "I'll be there on the top floor. I'm gonna try and talk to him."

"What?! That's crazy! You wanna talk him out of being a villain? What are you gonna do, you're not a psychologist."

(Name) turned to face an older man with a scowl on his face.

Shining a smile, (Name) replied calmly, "My goal here is not to catch him right now, but to follow up on reasoning. Maybe break him down bit by bit, then I'll catch him. Chief?" The young woman turns to the man for confirmation. "Do you agree?"

As all of the officers looked upon their leader, he looked off to the side. "We've tried everything already. Might as well try something new," he looked over and turned to the detective before getting up and walking back to his office. "Trust her and do what she says."

(Name) smiles and waves him off. Turning to the doubting man behind her, (Name)'s smile drops. "And I have a bachelors in criminal psychology. Something that someone of your caliber would not have."

The man let out a dissatisfied grunt and turned to march back to his desk. (Name) smirked and made her way outside to her car.

Driving downtown to the hospital, (Name) was growing anxious. Would her plan even work? What would she say to him?

Their whole relationship dynamic was different now. They're enemies. Her mission was to bring him in, but that would be easier said than done. She didn't want any complications arresting him, but she's seen what he had done to people who stepped in his way.

Shuddering to herself, she tried her best to clear her head as she found a space in the hospital parking lot.

It was late.

(Name) had already spoken with the hospital executives about why she'd be staking out on their top floor.
