**
Chaeyoung honestly couldn’t believe her luck.
She was promoted just after her wedding.
Her wedding where she married Lisa Manoban; known crime boss in New York.
Except no one knows.
Everyone knows she got married, the ring on her finger proves that. But her reputation for being private usually precedes her.
Ever since she joined the force she had one day hoped to become Chief of Police. And now that it’d happened, there was one minor issue.
Somewhere between being a beat cop and Sergeant she fell in love with Lisa Manoban. She’d been the lead detective on the elusive criminal mastermind for years. Had been following her as her gang grew stronger and bigger.
Yet Manoban was always ahead of her. Just a little.
And so she was never caught.
Well that’s a lie. She was caught, and sent to prison for quite a few years but not for being a mob boss.
She got busted on a technicality.
One that Chaeyoung had lorded over her forever since she’d slapped the cuffs on her.
She guess she shouldn’t have visited the boss everyday when she was in prison. In Chaeyoung’s defence, she was after information on the gangs workings.
Chaeyoung did not expect Lisa to be… well… human.
Lisa had also been adamant that she’d never killed anything more than a spider. But as Chaeyoung pointed out, just because she didn’t pull the trigger didn’t mean she wasn’t responsible.
Yet when Lisa had been released, things had changed.
Everytime Chaeyoung went to interview Lisa, they would flirt. More so than when there was an orange jumpsuit involved. It was like they couldn’t help themselves.
And then one night Lisa had kissed her.
----
The rest resulted in what might be considered mild corruption.
Mild in the fact Chaeyoung would arrest every damn member of the mob… just not Lisa.
Lisa had complained at every arrest.
“But Jisoo’s like... such a good friend.” Lisa whispered against the column of Chaeyoung’s neck.
“Babe she was caught with like… a bag of rifles. I can’t exactly ignore that.” Chaeyoung argued, her fingers digging into Lisa’s back.
“You could…” Lisa grumbled.
“And you could shut up.”
----
Chaeyoung was pulled from her musings when Ashley burst through her office door.
“Diaz got a line on Manoban, got a meeting down at the docks.” Chaeyoung groaned, Lisa had mentioned she had some work but Chaeyoung had hoped it wouldn’t pop up on her radar.
“Get a team ready then,” Chaeyoung sighed, she looked down at her fresh white shirt, “I just cleaned this.” She grabbed her badge from her desk drawer and followed Ashley out.
When they pulled up to the supposed sale location, the team began to move into position. Chaeyoung grumbled to herself as she pulled on her vest, the large white NYPD glaring on her chest. She clipped her badge to her belt and drew her pistol.
“Choi with me, the rest of you fan out, I want everyone here arrested.” Chaeyoung ordered quietly. Ashley nodded and followed Chaeyoung until they were crouched behind a large metal container.
“When’s the meet?” Ashley whispered. Chaeyoung checked her watch.
“Any second now.” She’d barely finished when four black SUV’s rolled up. There was already a large silver van parked near the edge of the docks, the door slid open and out jumped six guys; all armed and one clear leader.
Chaeyoung couldn’t help but shake her head when Lisa stepped out of her SUV. She rolled her eyes as Lisa looked around, adjusting her shirt sleeves before turning to the guy.
“We’re getting audio now.” Ashley whispered. Chaeyoung kept her eyes on Lisa, spotting Jisoo and Jennie flanking her.
“God this better not go to hell.” Chaeyoung mumbled.
“Don’t want to give her any ammo to hold over you?” Ashley snickered. Chaeyoung flipped her off before a crackle came over her radio.
“We’re in position Chief. Whenever you say so.”
“Wait until we’ve seen the trade.” Chaeyoung replied, eyes narrowing as Lisa placed down five duffel bags.
“You really gonna arrest her?” Ashley whispered.
Ashley, Jisoo and Jennie were the only three who knew the truth, the only ones who had joined Chaeyoung and Lisa at their very low-key wedding.
Chaeyoung didn’t answer her, too busy watching. Her finger tapped the trigger guard of her pistol as she waited.
Lisa let the other guys take the bags and she grabbed the briefcase the leader handed her.
“Move in.” Chaeyoung whispered to her radio.
“NYPD, nobody move!”
----
Lisa had spotted Chaeyoung the second she exited the car. Her eyes glancing around reflexively until she saw eyes glaring back at her. She smirked, rolling up her sleeves before turning to the van.
“Chrissy! How’s my brother doin’?” Lisa called out with a laugh. Chris folded his arms and rolled his eyes.
“Shut up, this is just business Lisa.”
“Aw lighten up.” Lisa said, snapping her fingers before tucking her pockets into her suit pant pockets.
“This shit is serious Lisa. Do you know what we had to do to get this shit?”
“Nope and I ain’t askin’.” Lisa replied with a grin. Five duffel bags appeared at her feet and Chris smiled.
“All there?”
“Really? You’re doubting me?” Lisa asked, smile turning cold at the edges. Chris shifted on his feet and reached back into the van. A black briefcase now in his hand.
“Trust me?”
“Obviously, I don’t ask many people to get me diamonds.” Lisa scoffed.
“Your wife’s here.” Jisoo said, leaning over to whisper in Lisa’s ear.
“I know.” Lisa replied, smile not wavering.
“If she arrests me again…” Jennie groaned. Lisa waved her off before kicking one of the bags forward.
“I don’t got all day Chris.” Lisa said. His men grabbed the bags and she leaned over, taking the briefcase. “Better get out quick if you catch my drift.” She whispered with a wink.
“Christ Lisa, really?”
“NYPD, nobody move!”
----
Then it all went to hell.
Chaeyoung should’ve known it was going to go badly when Lisa hadn’t straight up told her what she was up to today.
Chaeyoung ducked down as the first bullet came straight at her.
“Fuck sake.”
And so a shootout began. The silver van careened out of the area with minor bullet holes and a busted tire. Chaeyoung rattled off orders to stop that van before she was back taking shots at the black SUV’s.
She watched as a few of Lisa’s men went down, clutching at various body parts as they whimpered.
Chaeyoung was firing very purposefully far of her supposed marks.
Right up until Lisa dodged one of her other officer’s shots and jumped right where she had just aimed.
Her eyes grew wide as Lisa slammed back against the SUV’s passenger door, grasping at her shoulder as Jisoo and Jenny doubled their attack. They all scrambled into their cars and started fleeing the scene.
Followed swiftly by half the cops at the scene.
Chaeyoung just stood there, gun half raised, eyes following the retreating cars.
“Chaeng.” Ashley whispered, shaking Chaeyoung’s shoulder slightly. She hung her head and holstered her pistol as the ambulances arrived and people were handcuffed.
“She’s never gonna let me live this down.”
----
Chaeyoung wandered into her apartment, throwing her keys on the kitchen table along with her badge.
A floorboard creaked and she looked up, Lisa was stood in their living room in a sports bra and sweatpants. There was a large white bandage wrapped around her shoulder, her arm in a sling.
Chaeyoung winced and turned to the fridge, ignoring Lisa’s icy glare.
“Hey baby, how was your day at work?”
“You fucking shot me! That was my day!” Lisa snapped. Chaeyoung turned back around with two beers in her hand.
“I wasn’t aiming at you.” Chaeyoung protested.
“And yet I’m the one with an extra hole!”
“You moved.” Chaeyoung closed her eyes as Lisa growled.
“So it’s my fault?!”
“No baby, no, that came out wrong.” Chaeyoung said, moving into the living room and placing the beers on the coffee table.
“Keep talking, please, it’s going so well for you.” Lisa deadpanned.
“I was aiming at the window and I think Peralta was aiming for you too and then suddenly you were in my sights and-”
“And you thought what a great time to pull the trigger.” Lisa interrupted with a scowl.
“No! No. I was already pulling the trigger when you moved.” Chaeyoung said calmly, her hands moving to Lisa’s shoulder before thinking better and resting them on her hips.
“Uh huh, likely story.” Lisa grumbled.
“I promise you it was an accident.” Chaeyoung assured her softly. Lisa pursed her lips and tapped her foot.
“They were for you, you know.” She said tightly. Chaeyoung tilted her head and raised an eyebrow. “The diamonds. They were for you.”
“What have I said about giving me stolen gifts?” Chaeyoung sighed, resting her forehead against Lisa’s.
“To not. But I’m like eighty percent sure they weren’t actually stolen.” Lisa said. Chaeyoung sighed and closed her eyes.
“What?”
“Well Chris is good at making deals. So I think he got them legit just, he may owe someone a favour or two,” Lisa explained, “the money was to say thanks.”
“So legit diamonds paid for with stolen money?”
“Hey, we didn’t steal it. More like made from selling other illegal things.” Lisa shrugged before wincing.
“I am sorry.” Chaeyoung whispered. Lisa smirked, pressing a soft kiss to the tip of Chaeyoung’s nose.
“Why don’t you show me how sorry you are?”
----
The following morning as Lisa was taking her pain meds and watching Chaeyoung make her coffee, she laughed.
“What?” Chaeyoung asked with a smile.
“This so beats your technicality arrest.”
“Fuck you.”
