Partners in Crime

Chapter 1: The death of the criminal lovers?

-3rd person-

People were running away from the scene where a couple, with guns, stood.

"PUT THE GUNS DOWN OR WE WILL HAVE TO USE FORCE." A female cop that went by the name of Aya said into a loudspeaker. The couple raises their guns, put them to their heads and said something to each other. They both pulled the trigger of their respective gun. The police cut the area off from the public but one boy went in any way.

-Aya's P.O.V-

"You what are you doing?!" I yelled at the boy.

"I dropped my recorder." He said picking up a recorder that was near the criminals corpses.

"Just get out of here and go home," I said while rubbing my temples.

"Sure thing, officer Aya." He said while walking away.

-??? P.O.V-

"They fell for it, darling!" My partner and lover in crime Scarlet said while hugging me.

"Of course they fell for it sweetheart," I said while patting her head.

"Mark, darling what should we do until they find out that we aren't dead?" Scarlet asked.

"Well we could just rob a jewelry store and get you something nice," I said.

"Aww. Darling!" Scarlet said. We left that house and got into the car. 

"Full speed sweetheart!" I said while putting on my seat belt. As usual, I was in the passenger seat.

"You got it darling!" Scarlet said while pushing her foot on the gas. We were always thief's that never got caught since we were at least 8 or 9 years old. When we were 12 we both happened to rob the same bank, we've been partners in crime ever since we're 16 now and we are the most wanted criminals in 10 states, and as everyone knows we are madly in love with each other. 

"Isn't this the best darling?" Scarlet asked not taking her eyes off the road.

"You bet sweetheart," I said loading our pistols with bullets.

"Darling, you remember our first robbery together?" She asked glancing over at me.

"I sure do sweetheart," I said smirking.

*Flashback*

I stepped into the bank, gun in hand. When I stepped in a girl was already there yelling at the workers and pointing her gun at them. We argued for a bit, then we made a deal.

"Ok, we'll split the money in half that way we both get what we want." She said.

"Fine," I said in response. After a good half hour, we heard sirens.

"Tsk, they're here already?" I asked myself.

"If you want I can give you a ride." she offered.

"You are twelve right?" I ask

"Yeah, but I have a car and I can drive." She said placing her hands on her hips.

"Fine," I said, only because I didn't want to go to jail. We loaded the money into the trunk of her car and got in. I caught a glimpse of the petals before she got in, she had tied cans onto the petals. She got in turning the key then she slammed her foot on the gas pedal. Cop cars tried to keep up and shot at the car. She handed me a loaded pistol.

"What do you want me to do with this?" I asked.

"SHOOT THEIR TIRES!" She yelled, not taking her eyes off the road,

"Ok, Ok" I said. I shot their tires and somehow we were able to lose them

*End of Flashback*

"Who knew that a simple thing like me robbing a bank would lead me you?" I asked her, holding my hand up for her to grab.

"Oh, darling." She said, grabbing my hand.

-Leroy's P.O.V-

I smirked as I listened to the audio that was recorded.

"I knew they didn't kill themselves, you can fool a novice reporter, but you can't-fool me. Why? Because I always find the truth." I said to no one. I opened my laptop and opened my blog page starting on my next story.

Headline: The criminal lovers aren't dead. I always loved writing and keeping the world up to date with whats going on. I used to work for a newspaper... but they fired me because I'd miss the deadline they gave me. But now I was in my true element, my blog has more readers than the newspaper. After around an hour of writing and editing, I added the audio that I got and posted it on my blog.

"Now to wait." I told myself.

-Time Skip-

-Aya's P.O.V-

I was sitting in my office doing paperwork, and for once I'm actually happy. With those 'criminal lovers' (as the public and the web call them, because no one knows their real names)are out of the way I can get more work done.

"Miss Oct?" A small and quiet female voice said.

"Yes, Violet?" I said, looking up from my paper work. Violet walked in holding her tablet. 

"Miss Oct, I think you should take a look at this..." Violet said handing me her tablet, at first I was confused, until I saw the blog post.

The Criminal lovers aren't dead

Leroy Sanchez 

The suicide of the criminal lovers was in fact a fake, they are still out there!

I continued to read the blog post not believing that they were alive. I made it to the end and there was an audio file attached. I tapped on it and the audio began to play.

"Now.... shoot yourselves." A male voice said.

"If you don't then we're just going to kill you any way." A female voice said.

"w-well what are we gonna do?" A scared male asked.

"I'd rather kill myself then going back to those monsters" A girl said.

Two gunshots could be heard and two light thuds. I felt anger rush over me, I calmly gave Violet her tablet and pointed at the door. Violet left the room, I snapped my pen and ink dropped onto my desk. I put my now broken pen into the trash and looked up the blogger. Leroy Sanchez, to normal people he seems like a normal person, but his blog has more viewers than the newspaper.

"Leroy Sanchez, huh? Well I'm sure I already know where he got this audio, but I'll have to confirm it." I said to no one. I left the office and headed to his apartment to get some answers.
