a murderous tale (detainment sucks)

chapter 4: the killer is running

Fire got out of the car behind me. "nice work" he said approvingly. "Yeah, Nice work," Lawson growled,"but not good enough" he made a sudden movement to his pocket and drew out a smoke bomb. he chucked it on the ground and started running. Heart pounding heavily, i shot after him a few times. i think i got his leg, but the smoke rose and make an opaque wall, covering his escape. i didn't want to shoot anymore just in case i hit Fire so i waited till the fog cleared. when it did, i saw the hazy figure of someone running into the distance. i cursed- the gun i was holding was an AKM- a short range gun- and would almost definitely fall short. i ran into the car, Fire hopped in next to me and courteously said "where to next, milady?"

"stop right there!" a booming voice shouted behind us. he carried a note of authority and we looked behind us to see a burly police officer holding a gun to our heads. "hey there!" i said perkily ,"we'l just be off chasing this criminal then"      

" oh no you don't missy," the muscly idiot said.

I sighed and turned to Fire " is this what you get all the time ?" incredulity lacing my voice.

Im afraid it is is ,princess!"

"i bet the reason why you haven't got anyone working with you is because you're too annoying" i huffed.

" no its because i am so amazing i don't need anyone else" he retorted smugly.

I wanted to punch his cocky smile right off his face- but i restrained myself because i thought the cop would probably arrest me if i did. jeez what am i thinking! hes gonna arrest us anyway.

"im going to detain you for setting off a smoke bomb" the wall with a pea brain said "if you dont, i will have to  use force"

I groaned "this sucks"

"yeah it does" Fire agreed as we followed the police officer into the car...
