Chapter 9 - Wanted

Ella and Don were one of the most notorious criminals in town, the police and FBI were all on the lookout for them but they always managed to slip away. They were pretty much the top on the wanted list as the FBI placed a huge bounty on them.

"Well, well, well... What do we have here?~" Ella asked slyly as she opened the bag which showed the money they just stole recently.

"Hmm... Not bad, a whole 10 million" Don said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Yup, it isn't bad but also not good enough, we should get more soon" Ella said with an unreadable expression in her black eyes as she tied up her long wine hair.

"Ella, Ella, always eager for more. You know it was a close one this time, you should stop being too overconfident" Don said with a smirk even though concern shone in his eyes.

"Don't worry, they can't ever catch me~" She said confidently before going to her room.

Don sighed as he brushed his brown hair backwards and looked towards Ella's room with concern in his equally brown eyes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Woah! Slow down tiger, you are being too fast" Ella said amusedly to the cop that was chasing her.

The duo had gone on another heist and the cops were after them again, Ella was busy taunting them with an amused grin.

"You aren't going to get away with this!" The cop said angrily as he was stuck behind the locked gate, courtesy of Ella.

"That's what they all say, yet look at me~" She said teasingly before hopping unto her bike.

Don had left already when she was still teasing the locked up cop, he should have even reached their hideout by now.

As Ella was driving, another cop was chasing beside her in his car.

"Stop your vehicle now, you are under arrest" He commanded, still driving the car as he faced her.

"Hey, you know you should look at the road not me~" She said casually, not even listening to him.

"I repeat, stop your vehicle now" He said as he continued to face her, not paying heed to her warning.

"Ok, if you won't listen to me, why should I listen to you? Plus, you are the only cop that hasn't been locked up yet, so you are weak to try and stop me" She explained with a sly smile.

"Just stop your vehicle now or I will shoot" He said ignoring all her warnings as he pointed a gun at her.

"Oh! I am so scared~ What ever can I do?~" She said playfully not seeming the least scared.

She winked at him before smiling.

He furrowed his brows wondering what she was signalling when his car hit a tree trunk that was on the way.

"I told you to watch the road~" She said smirking as she zoomed off.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Finally back~" She said happily as she entered the hideout, not paying attention to her surroundings.

"Hey Don, how much do you think we got today? Will it finally reach my expectations?~" She asked happily as she walked towards the living room.

She furrowed her brows in confusion when she didn't see him in the living room and he didn't answer.

"Don, where are you?" She asked as she picked up her gun searching the hideout.

They normally had an agreement to stay in the living room till both of them were there.

She checked everywhere in the house but he was no where to be seen.

"Did he actually betray me and leave with the money?" She asked, not really believing it.

They had been together for a long time and she believed he won't betray her like this.

"But then what happened?" She asked as she went to her room to pack up what she needs.

"Even if he didn't betray me, something must have happened which means this place isn't safe again" She mumbled as she geared up before leaving the house.

"So that's what happened" She whispered as she realised that the hideout was completely surrounded by the cops and they had Don as hostage.

"Drop all your weapons, you are surrounded. I repeat, drop all your weapons or else..." An officer said pointing at Don.

'At least now I know why that cop driver was so confident' She thought as she looked at Don.

Don signalled for her to escape but she shook her head slightly and dropped her weapons.

An officer immediately went and handcuffed her before bringing her towards Don.

"Turns out, I wasn't the only one who is careless~" She said smiling at Don.

"It was just a rare mistake made by me" He said looking annoyed at the fact.

"Well, since it's your fault, then it is your job to get us out" She whispered playfully to him in their code language.

"I know" He whispered back still in code language as he smirked.

"Well, I can't wait to see what you come up with~"

"It will be good, that's for sure" He said confidently as he winked.
