"You look like Gollum's twin brother."

A diligent police constable. She's quick, both mentally and physically, with a gun by her side at all times. The 24-year-old does her duty to the best of her ability, and absolutely nothing can distract her when she sets a goal.

Detective Alec Walliams.

At 27, He has managed to accomplish countless tasks over the span of a few years. An egotistical male during the day, and a skilled undercover investigator by night. Sometimes, the two personas occur at the same time. 

Alec and Genevieve cross paths. One thing leads to another, and they have to team up in order to catch a twisted outlaw. 

The only problem? They're like oil and water.

She abides by the rules.

He makes his own.

A smile of happiness graced Genevieve's lips. She couldn't think of the last time she felt this ecstatic. Even as she walked towards a holding cell in the police station, the cheerful expression on her face refused to drop. 


"You harm even a single hair on her head, and I will raze this place to the ground!" 


She greeted the DI and a fuming Jake Ernsbrooke, who stood near the door that consisted of metal bars. Owen flashed her a knowing grin, before he nodded his head to gesture for her to get started. She didn't need to be told twice. 


Genevieve didn't know why or how, but she felt as though he understood her inner turmoil. Dare she say, he might even relate to it. 


The door of the holding cell opened with a loud creak when she pulled on it, and she stepped inside to take in her surroundings.
