He stared at the house down in cherry lane for brief moment. A normal looking house with grey walls and a white ceiling decorated with flower pots. It was a special normal house though. It was hers. The woman of his dream's house.

He fixed his hair in Ann's car window and started thinking about her reaction when she sees him as he was hesitating to ring the bell. Ringing a simple bell seemed harder than stealing a train, he finally proceeded to knock.

"Coming!" A female voice said. Tommy realized that voice, it was Ann's. He started posing, crossed arms, leaning on the wall and... but he decided just to go with hands in pockets as he heard a creak. "Hey Mon come on in, you can't believe what I just found! He left another clue, I don't know if he's stupid or he's doing it on- " She looked. She finally looked , clearly in disbelief she was staring at the guy she's been chasing for the past 9 months. Tommy smiled at a confused, messy looking Ann who was wearing a kitten t-shirt. "Hello detective." Tommy said playfully, "How have you been?"

Ann did what her instinct told her to, she shut the door. Tommy let out a disappointed sigh and grumbled "Here she goes again.." "Tom Thompson, you're under arrest, put your hands where I can see them." It was Ann pointing at Tommy with a gun and a determined look, you could see joy in her face. The fact that she was so looking forward to arresting him was annoying but he shrugged it off anyway. With his hands up he said "Oh come on detective! I came here all by myself and you won't let me in?" Ann gave him a suspicious look. "I could give you info on One Eyed Assef?" Ann narrowed her eyes, Tommy was still grinning, she finally gave in. "Alright, but we're doing this under my rules."

"..My my detective, I didn't know you were into this stuff." Tommy said, handcuffed to a chair. "Alright Tommy spit it out, why are you here? Are you here to finally destroy all the info you leaked? Because it's no use, I've already copied them all." Ann continued rambling with a smug on her face. "You're cute when you don't know what you're talking about." Ann rolled her rolled her eyes "Alright so why are you here?"

"To ask you out?" Tommy said it like it was an obvious thing and in fact, it was. He's bought Ann gifts for her birthday and valentine's day, he's taken her out to places, he's even had fireworks spelling out her name when they were out. But no, Ann didn't take the hint, it was all clues to her. She gave him a puzzled look. Tommy sighed. "Ann? Ever thought that maybe taking you out and buying you flowers meant something other than clues?" "..What's your point?" "My point is I like you and I want you to go out with me, besides if I wanted to leak information I would've just emailed them to you."

Ann was silent. "That's.. new." Tommy raised his eyebrows and gave her a 'is it?' look. "I- I'm still a detective and-" Someone started knocking the door. "Ann! You there?" It was Monica, Ann's friend. "Coming Mon! Just a sec!"

When Ann looked at Tommy again, he was already out of his cuffs and he was running to the window. "Bye bye detective! See you on our date!" "Wait!" Ann started running but it was too late. She stared as the man got away and his shadow vanished.

"..He got away." She said. For a moment, she didn't know how to feel.
"Dammit!" I said for a moment.
