Rui's breath fell heavy as he broke off into a sprint, dragging Nene along with him as he ran.

She kept the bag clutched to her chest, manning up to start running from the flashing red-and-blue lights and the blare of sirens surrounding them.

...

Rui and Nene were both very sought after criminals, so sought after that the Authorities would kill (the concept is baffling.) to get their hands on them. But they managed to escape, every. Single. Time.

And then was no detour from it. Just a few minutes before, they had broken into a high-security building to steal the big bank: 100.000$. They managed to load up a bit of the sum into their van, but the Gendarmerie had caught up to them, so they made a run for it as Nene clutched the bag of money containing most of the sum to her chest.

“You'll never take us alive!” Rui yelled with a sneer as he sprinted, his breath heavy with adrenaline.
