Special Agent Marcus Pike, has been searching for a infamous serial killer for three months now, The Red Saint, real name Argona McMillan. She has murdered fifteen people who she deemed inhuman and unworthy of life. She would typically leave a red piece of cloth on her victim's body. But so far Agent Pike hadn't found a link to all the victims, as far as he knew they were just random people who Argona believed should die. The Red saint or Argona would normally leave a note of some king taunting Agent Pike.

At the moment Agent Pike was siting at his desk going over Argona's file for the hundredth time, when a fellow agent informs him that the CBI has a witness to Argona's recent crime. Agent Pike hurriedly grabs his coat and rushes out his office, quickly walking to his car and driving to the CBI's headquarters. Once he is there he rushes inside and heads to the third floor, which has the interrogation rooms. He walks straight to the room holding the witness, he barges in and sits down next to his Ex, CBI agent Tereasa Lisbon. Agent Pike ignores Agent Lisbons demands to speak with him outside, he doesn't move, he just sits and waits for her to stop talking, after a moment she goes quiet and focuses on the witness.  The witness had a bandage wrapped around her head and right arm, she had kind eyes, and black hair. 

"I'm special agent Pike, can you tell me what happened?" He asks in a calm and quiet tone, and then the look of kindness in the witness's eyes disappeared and a wicked smile appeared on her face. 

"Hello Marcus." The supposed witness says as she then pulls off her head bandage, that hid her wig, she then wiped away the makeup that concealed her tattoos and scars, she also took out the contacts revealing she had bright blue eyes. Agent Pike starred at her with fear in his eyes, but oddly part of his brain thought she was cute. A blush appeared on the his cheeks which both Agent Lisbon and Argona noticed. Agent Lisbon glared at Agent Pike, she then asked Agent Pike to join her outside the room for a word. Agent Pike nodded and the two stood up, Agent Lisbon walking in front of Agent Pike, but once Agent Lisbon was out of the room Agent Pike Slammed the door closed and broke the lock. Making it impossible for Agent Lisbon to get back inside, she banged on the door and yelled at Agent Pike to let her in, but he ignored her and sat back down across from Argona. 

"Why are you here? Why did you pose as a witness? Is the name you gave the responding officers real? And if so what happened to the woman you impersonated?!" Agent Pikes voice slowly got louder, his questions only made Argona smile. 

"We bleed-Answer my question

We need-I said answer my question

We agreed to this greed

We dine-Just answer the questions!

We drink-Why are you reciting this poem?

We stand alone and stare-What does this poem have to do with anything?!

We romance

We chance-Is there a reason you are telling me this poem?!

We fantasize with death-Death..Are you telling me something about your plans?

Because in the end, we are all just a single breath." 

Agent Pike ever so often would interject while she recited the poem. He now had his head against the desk, while Agent Lisbon and other agents tried to breakdown the door, Argona however had a look of sadness on her face. She sighed as she pulled off the hand-cuffs that were supposed to be restraining her wrists.

"I am here because I wanted to see you." She says contently while watching Agent Pike lift his head up. He then resumed to a more professional posture and looked directly at her confused as why she now wanted to cooperate. 

"Y-I answered your question and if you want me to answer more, I want to inform you of the deal." She interrupted Agent Pike while looking into his eyes, but it was more like she was looking through him, as if she could see his thoughts. Agent Pike nodded, he then glanced at the door seeing that agents were still trying to pry the door open. 

"The agreement is simple, I will help you with cases and in return I get no prison time. I am willing to wear an ankle bracelet, so you can track my were about's and keep me close to your office. And you have my blessing to call me Agrona and I assume I have your blessing to call you Marcus." Argona said with a devilish smile on her face, she then handed Marcus the hand-cuffs which he was puzzled at how she got them off, but took them none the less. 

"That seems fair, Argona why did you kill those people?" He said leaning slightly forward, Argona leaned forward as well and whispered in his ear, 

"Because they had to be killed". Marcus then leaned back in his chair and nodded, sum what satisfied with her explanation, the people she slaughtered were bad people and in a way deserved what they got, but it was still wrong of her too take matters into her own hands. For a moment the two sat in almost complete silence, except for the banging on the door. The two just stared at each other, but after a moment Marcus stood and motioned for Argona to follow, which she did and stayed right behind Marcus. He started to push the door open with all his might, instead of helping Argona watched him and admired his backside. Once the door was finally open all the agents pulled their firearms and aimed at Argona, who was still behind Marcus. She peaked at them from behind Marcus and grabbed one of his belt loops so he would know she was still there. 

"Agent Pike step asid-Argona will be coming with me. We have made a bargain, information and assistance in cases in exchange for   parol." Marcus said interrupting Agent Lisbons order, the other Agents holstered their weapons and stepped back, all except for Agent Lisbon who refused to holster her weapon. Marcus glared at her, which in response she reluctantly holstered her weapon. Argona, who was still holding onto Marcus's belt loop, stood on her tippy toes and rested her chin on his shoulder to see what was happening. Marcus then turned and walked away, Argona stumbled behind him but kept up with his pace. Marcus didn't look back once, he kept his eyes forward and walked to his car, when the two were at his car he stopped and looked at her. Only then did Argona let go of his belt loop, she stared at Marcus with a smile plastered on his face, she then stepped closer and kissed his cheek. This action caused Marcus to freeze for a moment, before his posture relaxed and he opened the door of his car for Argona. She gladly entered and sat in the passenger seat, Marcus then went to the other side and got in the driver's seat. He then started the car and drove to his office, After a moment of driving in silence Argona took Marcus's hand in her own, Marcus turned and looked at her but after a moment his eyes set back on the road.
