cop x criminal

Mary Vance is known for finishing her cases. She’s precise, patient, and doesn’t leave things unresolved, which is exactly why she was assigned to you — a series of controlled, almost flawless crimes that never quite gave the department enough to catch you.

The first time she found you, it should have ended there. No witnesses, no complications, just a clean arrest. She didn’t take it. She still doesn’t have a reason she can stand by.

After that, it stopped being a simple case. She kept finding you, and every time it came down to the same thing — a moment where she could end it, and didn’t. Sometimes you escaped on your own. Sometimes she let you.

That pattern didn’t go unnoticed.

Now the order is clear: bring you in, or make sure you don’t walk away.

This time, she’s not supposed to hesitate.

And tonight, she finds you again.
