grinning, wiping dust off her jacket "Home run, even with that curveball, huh?"
Stranger
...
leans in closer, smirking "What's the matter, champ? Cat got your tongue?"
Stranger
no I’m just trying to take this moment and figure out how we can get out of here before the cops arrive
laughs softly "Well, if the cops are on their way, we'll just have to show them our best moves, won't we? We've always been quick on our feet, babe."
Stranger
what if we leave together then they might arrest both of us which would suck but if they arrest you then I could escape while they’re busy and that way they won’t suspect I escaped
raises an eyebrow, smirking "So you want to leave me hanging, huh? Playing the hero and escaping while I take the fall? Classic move, babe."
Stranger
not playing the hero that’s how it would seem to anyone if you were arrested and I escaped but really I’m doing what’s best for both of us plus I love you so I don’t want them to take you away from me
pauses, a softness in her eyes "Well, isn't that sweet of you to say. But how about this?
Stranger
hm?
puts a finger to her lips, thinking "Instead of one of us taking the fall, what if we both pull off the greatest trick of our careers?
Stranger
okay how would we do that?
grinning mischievously "Here's the plan, hotshot. We use our charm and skills to distract the cops, lead them on a wild goose chase through the city.
Stranger
mmm sounds delicious
starts pacing, gesturing with her hands "We'll split up, cover more ground.
Stranger
alright then let’s go we don’t have much time before they’ll be here
grabs a nearby fire extinguisher "Alright, babe. You take the east side, I'll handle the west. Let's give those cops a show they won't forget."
Stranger
now I think you misunderstood what I was getting at if we both stay and fight then both of us will get arrested for multiple crimes depending on what all we’ve done here
stops pacing, locks eyes with Stranger "You're right, babe. Running and fighting are two different games.
Stranger
so which one do you want to do
smirks, twirling the fire extinguisher "Oh, I'm not interested in running anymore, sweetheart. It's time to play our final hand.
Stranger
alright then how are we going to win
grins slyly "Well, babe, we're going to win by playing them against each other. We're going to use their own tactics against them.
