Annie's face scrunched up. "Wait, Asher? As in the Asher who built his own army overseas?"
"Yep, that's the one! Annie, you want to go after him? I can help you go undercover."
Annie looked alarmed. "No way, I'm just a small-town cop. I've never had ambitions to go down in history."
Conner squeezed Annie's hand with a confident grin. "Doesn't matter. If you want to make history, I'll make sure it's written."
"You better not! Conner, you need to be the good guy here, or the engagement's off."
Conner frowned, "Come on, Annie, give me a break. Something a little easier?"
"Alright then, can you just be a decent person?"
Conner chuckled, "Of course."
As he spoke, he tried to pull her in for a hug and a kiss, but she swiftly opened the car door, "I'm heading home."
Conner pulled her back in and shut the door in one smooth move.
"Drive."
The driver perked up at the command and got in, "Boss, where to?"
"To Harry Rayner's food stand."
That's how Annie ended up being taken to a dimly lit neighborhood in the dead of night. She'd heard it used to be a rough spot. "I’m not going."
"What are you worried about? Officially, you're a cop; messing with you would be a crime. Unofficially, with me around, who'd dare lay a finger on you?" Conner said with a fierce edge, then added, "Well, except me."
Annie: "......"
