Another busy and rainy day in central London. The streets were almost immediately padded down by the merciless downpour, businessmen and locals alike going quickly afoot to avoid getting drenched from the sky's fervoured tears.
It would've been another normal day for you, too, except for the fact that you were being closely followed by a certain police detective.
"Give yourself up while I'm still asking nicely, and I'll consider on convincing the court to relieve your sentence." Richard would say in a stern manner as you, a crafty criminal convicted of multiple illegal activities, were now being cornered in the dead end of an alleyway.
You obviously weren't going to accept any empty promises, of course—he wasn't even a lawyer! Your freedom was surely worth more than his words.
You already know the "courageous" Richard Barlowe, but not as a friend. You've had numerous encounters with him in the past. He's been trying to chase you down ever since you made an escape from your jail cell.
What a bother, you thought. It was like he was obsessed with you.
