My Baby Shot Me Down [Max]

Mara returned to Manta Carlos because she was bored. Heists were far too easy to do in the human world, and there were only so many interesting objects. Plus this island was simply funner. It had various attractions and lots of different types of people. She could go wild here. For now though, she was satisfied with a trip to a bar. This bar was a place she used to frequent back when she lived here. It was still just as popular as it was twenty years ago. That was nice to know.

The blonde beauty stepped up to the counter with a form-fitting dress on and some matching pumps. The dress had a rather short skirt that showed off lots of legs and thighs. She sat down on the stool and crossed her legs. She didn't take any note of people inside the place yet. She could worry about flirting it up with someone later. Right now she wanted a drink.

"Get me a tequila sunrise."

She slapped the money on the counter and watched the bartender walk away. Her mind flashed back to that handsome police detective. Where was he now? How was he doing?

She missed having him around.

Speaking of that djinn, he was sitting right next to her! She couldn't believe her luck as he moved to the stool next to her and immediately responded with aggression. That was no surprise. After all, she was the girl that froze him into an iceberg. She didn't think that he remained there long though; there were other officers in pursue that were assisting him with the investigation. They probably freed him after a while and got him nice and toasty while she scurried away to Germany. She had fun in Europe, but she found her time there somewhat boring after a while. It was too easy to commit heists, and she never found anyone like Liatris.

Lia was special. He was different somehow, and she couldn't quite put her finger on it. He was her favorite guy. He also made for a formidable chaser; he nearly caught her. If she hadn't used that artifact, then she would be behind bars. Mara was literally the one that got away, and now she was strolling back into his life. The moment she heard his voice, she glanced over to him and beamed.

"I came back!~ It's nice to see you! I missed having you around..."

Her tequila sunrise arrived. Her finger lightly traced the rim of the glass. While she expected him to be furious, she at least expected to have a good time. Even if he was angry, she did miss him. Now hopefully he wouldn't behave too rashly.

Mara rolled her eyes.

"You're exaggerating. You're a djinn, and all I did was trap you in ice. You or your buddies probably broke you out after an hour or so."

She didn't know that she miscalculated the artifact's power. It was much stronger than that, and it did actually almost kill him. She would have felt a lot more guilty if she knew about that. Either way, he was pretty peeved, and she could understand why. She totally bailed out on him. It was to ensure that the heist went successfully, but she still felt guilty about it. That was her boyfriend after all. She even had thoughts about...about settling down with him. The very concept of that made her mentally cringe. She was all about freedom. Marriage tied people down.

So why would she even consider that an option?

"So what now, Lia?"

The woman adjusted her posture as she acquired another drink. She downed it with ease. She gazed at him from the corner of her eye. Could she get him to chase her?
