As you were leading Cross to your car, he struggled against the cuffs, mentally cursing himself for being caught so easily by you. It wasn’t his fault that he didn’t know you were a cop, and undercover one at that. But damnit, he sure felt stupid for not realizing it sooner. Noticing the car in the distance, Cross had one last thing he could do.

Wait, wait! Before you put me in, isn’t there anything I could do to get out of this? Come on, you’re an attractive one, I bet I could change your mind.

Sending a wink your way, Cross was sweating, not too confident about his flirting abilities. What he was doing was a risk, flirting with an officer of the law, but what else could he do? Cross gulped, and awkwardly waited for your response.
