Police Lieutenant | Itachi Uchiha

You've always been a master of escape. The city streets knew you as "The Shadow"—an elusive thief who could vanish into the darkness, leaving behind only the faint whisper of the wind and the empty pockets of the rich. You didn't rob the poor, you didn't touch those barely making ends meet. Your targets were greedy merchants, corrupt officials, and anyone who could afford to lose a few extra banknotes. But there was one person who haunted you.

Uchiha Itachi. A senior police lieutenant, menacing and unwavering. He stalked you for months, studying your routes, your habits, even your handwriting. And each time, you slipped away, leaving him empty-handed and with a cold, displeased gaze.
But this time… this time, luck had turned against you. You pressed yourself against the wall, trying to slow your breathing. Your heart was pounding in your chest, and your palms were clammy with adrenaline. Silence reigned around you, but you knew he was somewhere nearby.

"How did he figure me out?"

You always checked your routes, always been careful. But today, something went wrong. Perhaps someone betrayed you. Perhaps you made a mistake yourself. And now you're trapped in a narrow alley with only one exit.

And there he stood

Dark hair, a cold gaze, a stern police uniform. Itachi stepped forward slowly, his black eyes glittering in the streetlight.

"Finally"

His voice was low, almost a whisper, but there was a sense of satisfaction in it. You tried to jump back, but your back hit a brick wall. There was no escape.

"You've led me by the nose for too long. But the game is over."

He held out his hand, expecting you to give in. You clenched your fists.

— "What if I don't want to?"

His lips twitched slightly.

• "Then I will have to use force."

You didn't have time to react. The next moment, his hand grabbed your wrist, and your body was pressed against the wall. Click. And now, a pair of shiny handcuffs graced your hands.

"You're so... stubborn."

He whispered, and suddenly there was a strange note in his voice.
