Officer Mackenzie Thomas and her partner officer Tina Obikwelu stood side by side together in front of an old shop. Their tall, toned forms clad in their police uniforms and gear, the dynamic beauties smiled with confidence and determination as they looked towards the seemingly abandoned building. But this was not just some abandoned shop, in fact, that old building was one of the safehouses that the notorious Chang Yi used, and officer Thomas was certain that this was her current location. Weeks of investigation had led to this conclusion, and in addition to that, Mackenzie had obtained detailed information, including the layout of the building, spots for possible traps, and where Chang Yi's headquarters might be. The two policewomen looked each other with certainty and confidence.
"Are you ready, officer Obikwelu? It's finally time to put an end to this wild chase" Mackenzie said.
"Yes, captain Thomas! It's been months that we've been after that elusive criminal, but now she has nowhere to hide anymore!" Tina said.
"Indeed! There's no way Chang Yi is escaping this time! Her days are counted, and soon she'll find herself behind bars. We'll definitely get her!" Tina nodded, grinning with confidence.
"And then we celebrate, right? We've been so focused on our investigation that it's been weeks since we last got together" Tina said with a flirty smirk, causing the older blonde to smile wryly and slightly blush in embarrassment.
"It's still a bit embarrassing, getting pushed down by my own subordinate, but I cannot deny I have missed your touch. However, right now I need you to be focused, Tina! Even with all information and our training, Chang Yi is a formidable opponent. We can think about our celebrations later. But now, we need to focus on the task at hand!" Mackenzie said.
"Yes, madam! I will do my best!" Tina responded with a serious expression, causing Mackenzie to smile.
"I know you will. You are the best from my squad after all! Now, officer Obikwelu, let's do this! Let's put an end to this notorious villainess' schemes!" Mackenzie said decisively, her younger partner nodding with determination as the two officers entered the building.

The two officers got inside the dimly lit building, while the doors behind them shut down with a thud, further darkening the room. They thought it was probably because of the wind from some half opened window, but little did they know the doors were rigged and automatically locked the moment they shut down. Nor were they aware that they were being watched. Still, the two dauntless policewomen switched on their flashes and scanned the room around them.
"For a seemingly abandoned building, it is really well preserved. A bit dust here and there and old furniture, but walls and floor are sturdy" officer Thomas said.
"It is also bigger than it looked from the outside" officer Obikwelu remarked.
"Nothing we can't handle, we've searched bigger buildings. Okay Tina, you search the ground level and I search the upper floor. We'll be in touch with our radios. Anything you notice, anything suspicious at all, you report it. And if you get a location on her, you let me know! Don't make a move on your own, understand?" officer Thomas instructed.
"But madam, you know how well I can handle myself in a fight! What if I see a chance?" officer Obikwelu retorted.
"I am well aware of your fighting skills, officer Obikwelu, but you still lack some experience. Chang Yi is too cunning, and too elusive, she has slipped through our fingers before when we thought we had her. I can handle her, I have faced her before and nearly got her but if you spot her, I need you to inform me at once so I can come to your position and we both face her. Is that understood?" officer Thomas' voice was calm, but her commanding tone was evident in her voice.
