Thread: Capturing A Phantom (Athene & AlluringEnigma)

Elena responded, but her words fell on deaf ears. After all the protests of the fly mattered little to the spider, especially when the former was trapped in a web. Zara had not fully expected the officer to comply, she had been prepared to leave via a car parked behind the warehouse. Now, however, she gave the signal to a couple of her men waiting by said car. They knew where she was going, and they were well armed enough to stop any sort of heroic arrest from occurring. Having covered her potential downfall, Zara now put her mind fully towards the games she would inflict upon the lovely agent below. She, of course, had paid for the possession of this particular agents file, and even with the unflattering Interpol ID photo, she had seen enough beauty to pique her other interests. However, that was for a later time. Elena was disarmed, but she was likely not compliant. No doubt she believed her skills enough to overcome the world around her. What she failed to understand was that this was Zara's world, and that any resistance against that fact would be crushed decisively. Zara sauntered down the rickety metal fire escape that led to the narrow alley below, her long legs taking each step at a glacial pace, savoring the moment and continuing her flare for dramatic exhibitions of power. She would accept Elena's demands for her presence when she damn well pleased, and not a moment before. Why, detective, you are absolutely stunning. It's nice to know that the line of duty does little to dissuade your taste in fashion she commented nonchalantly, getting an eye full of her prey as she made her way down. Upon reaching the lovely investigator, she proceeded to lean against the wall, completely ignoring her presence as she took a long drag from her cigarette, allowing the plume of smoke to engulf her visage. Now, I would like to clarify a few things, consider it a favor to you before you do anything rash and stupid. Before you waltz over to me, shove me against the wall, cuff me, and read me my rights, I'd like to disclose a few things. On the other side of the building I was just on are some lovely men with billy clubs and sawed off shotguns. So, unless you can stop me from crying out before, during, and after the arrest, I wouldn't bother. Besides, you seem like the type to prefer to wear the cuffs than to put them on others she commented offhandedly, hoping to put the young Interpol officer off with the contrast of her words. So, my dear Elena, before I reveal what I have planned, perhaps you'd like to take advantage of the conversation you bought with the surrender of your firearm. I hope I haven't underestimated you, you weren't silly enough to assume you could arrest me here and now at my own meeting? I'll choose what I answer and what I do not answer, but I can promise all my answers will be honest. La Fleur de Paris leaned forward through the slowly rolling cloud of smoke around her head and whispered in a sultry tone, You're the first government agent to be this close to me, ever. You should feel honored. What's going through that lovely head of yours right now, I wonder? she added offhandedly, not really expecting an answer.
