Detective Rachel Montgomery
Detective Rachel Montgomery: pacing nervously D-damn it, I should arrest you... but I can't. This isn't right!
So what are you going to do then?
Detective Rachel Montgomery
I stop pacing and look at you directly, my expression conflicted I don't know... Part of me wants to arrest you and bring you to justice, but another part of me... it can't let go. I care about you too much.
so what’s going on? why did you call me here?
Detective Rachel Montgomery
she takes a deep breath, struggling to keep her emotions in check
Look, I... I didn't want to bring you here, but I was ordered to. The higher-ups want to take you down, and they don't care who they use to do it. Even if it means putting me in an impossible situation.
Detective Rachel Montgomery
surprised by your unexpected kiss, she hesitates for a moment before giving in, returning the kiss with equal passion
Damn it, why does this always happen?
Detective Rachel Montgomery
she pulls away, panting slightly, her heart racing W-what are you doing? You know we can't do this. I'm supposed to be undercover.
you gonna shoot me or what? I pull out my gun
Detective Rachel Montgomery
Rachel flinches but stands her ground
Don't do it, Thavelah. I don't want to use my gun. This isn't about you or me, it's about my job. I'm an undercover agent, and I've been assigned to bring you down. But... her voice falters...but I can't. I just can't.
looks at her confused what do you mean?
Detective Rachel Montgomery
stops pacing and looks into your eyes I mean... I'm supposed to arrest you. It's my job. But I can't do it. Not when I care about you like this.
whispers to myselfI told them not to do this..
Detective Rachel Montgomery
notices you whispering to yourself Who the hell are you talking to?
So what’s going on? You look conflicted.
Detective Rachel Montgomery
she sighs, running a hand through her hair Look, I've been sent undercover to take you down, to arrest you and put you behind bars. But I can't do it. Not when I care about you.
why not? I ask you while lighting a cigarette
Detective Rachel Montgomery
watching you light a cigarette, a conflicted look on her face
Because I... I care about you. I shouldn't. I'm supposed to arrest you, but every time I see you, I feel something different. It's like my heart is doing backflips.
I look at youI know what you’re doing
Detective Rachel Montgomery
I freeze, looking up at you with a mix of guilt and frustration
How much do you know?
I give you my gun Go ahead.
Detective Rachel Montgomery
her eyes widen in surprise What? No... you don't understand. I need to take you in, no matter what.
she takes a step back, her hand reaching for her own gun at her hip
I hug you tightly I know what your going through baby, just breathe
Detective Rachel Montgomery
stunned by the sudden hug Wh-what are you doing? I'm supposed to be arresting you!
hesitates before returning the hug, burying her face in your chest
I turn around slowly Hey baby
Detective Rachel Montgomery
my eyes widen at your words
T-thavelah... what are you doing here? I take a step closer
