    Summary

    Zhu Yuan nodded. “The actor doesn’t do a very good job of handcuffing her,” she remarked as the videotape played on.

    Wise shrugged. “I wouldn’t know.”

    “They don’t seem like standard police issue to me.”

    “They do look rather flimsy.”

    “I think I could break out of them if need be.”

    Wise tried unsuccessfully not to imagine the Public Security officer in such a compromised manner. “Guess so," he agreed hoarsely. "If you wanted to, not that you’d be in such a position to begin with.”

    Zhu Yuan enlists Wise's help and videotape player to review confiscated vintage cassettes with missing labels, and curiosity gets the better of them when they find out what's on the tapes.

    Summary

    Zhu Yuan stares at the buildings of 6th street, her eyes jumping from ground level to rooftop. “There’s too much exposure here. Any gang would have a good angle on everyone below.”

    “Zhu Yuan,” Belle says, exasperated. This is the third (maybe fourth, Belle has lost count) time Zhu Yuan has mentioned something about some tactical maneuver in the past fifteen minutes. “How many gangs do you think are on 6th street?”

    “My reports says—”

    Belle wonders if she could choke her. Mmm, not tall enough. Also Zhu Yuan would immediately cuff her if she tried.

    Or:
    A small reimagining of Zhu Yuan’s first Agent Rank up.

    Summary

    “I love you.”

    Lisa felt so dizzy that she felt as if she got caught in a hurricane. “I see,” she said, because there was no possible way that she could force anything else out of her mouth in her current state. “Well, I love you too, Jean. You’re the closest friend I could ever hope to have.”

    “No… no, you don’t seem to understand me.” The pause in which Jean took to clear her throat was enough for Lisa’s heart to jump and lodge itself directly in the base of her throat. “I love you, Lisa. I’m— well— I’m completely in love with you.”

    Or, Jean accidentally drank a love potion.

    Summary

    So he asked the most vital question. "Why are you here, Jane?"

    She gave the cutest smile, in theory, before answering, "To nurse you back to health."

    He nods along. "To nurse me back to health–What?!"

    "What's wrong with that?" She peers through the crack of his door. "Aren't you lonely in there?"

    Seth Lowell locked himself home to get better. But when a mysterious guest arrived, he ends up getting taken care of.
