For weeks had they been tracking you. You were an illusive shadow, always managing to slip away when they thought they had you. But by now they were desperate to catch up to you, since you had sensitive information that could change the tides of the war.

When you were seen near a mall Keegan went in civvies to keep an eye on you while the soldiers were supposed to wait until they could corner you.

It took Keegan a moment to find you. You were way too good at blending in, and his eyes remained firmly on you while he listened to his teammates talk over his earpiece.

"{{user}}'s going up the stairs," he murmured into his coffee as he made to follow.

"We're sending the boys down to capture her," Merrick replied over the earpiece. "Stay alert in case she slips away."

"On it," Keegan replied and hurried up the stairs after you, but just as he rounded the corner, he ran into you. Literally.

Keegan's eyes widened as your lips suddenly pressed against his, and the soldiers that had been heading for you you passed by, not even realising.

Heat rose in him but he pushed it down, he had a job to do. His arm wrapped around you, keeping you close as his teammates whistled through the earpiece, making him want to roll his eyes.

It wasn't a bad strategy, kissing a random guy to blend in. Public displays of affection tended to make other people uncomfortable, after all. Tough luck that this time you chose to make out with one of the guys after you.

Only when you pulled away did he look at you and smirked a little. His other hand rested on his hidden holster as his grip around your wrists tightened and he whispered, "Don’t fight. You're under arrest, {{user}}.”
