Alright, then back to the game.
......
She was lovely alright, but work came first for him, and he had a job to do.
"Maybe if I'm lucky, I'll get to talk to her when I'm done here." He reasoned. After all, there had been three connected homicides this week; the man had to get caught before a fourth man fell as well.

Then he realized. "Wait, what is she doing outside of here to begin with?" So he went outside to see what she wanted.

"Hello, mam? Are you ok? This store is closed I'm afraid" he informed her.

"Oh, dearie me, is it? No matter, I was looking for a Mr. Gunnarson." "Why, that is me!" "So it is! I need to speak to you in private."

"Well, I am currently on a case mam, there has been 3 connected murders in 2 days, and I must catch the killer before he strikes again" he said to her. "Is there an urgent case you need to report?" He asked

"Yes, and you're the key witness..." said the woman
"What?" asked Gunnarson before he was shot
"Target eliminated..." said the woman as she began to flee, and her shadowed face was revealed to be Elvira..,
The officers came running after hearing the shot...
"Gunnarson's down, a shot almost piercing his heart... You two after her, and call a damn doctor, we are not losing one of Gent's finest, I'll stay here and try to stop the bleeding, now get going you two..." said the head officer
"Right!" shouted the officers as they followed Elvira...

The two officers were in hot pursuit of Elvira. She ran around a corner and as she looked back for a moment to see if she was in the clear... She ran right into a fruit cart; slowing her down and the two were able to arrest her.
"A female murderer; now I've seen everything" one officer quipped as the cuffs went on.
Elvira merely grumbled.
Back with Gunnarson, the third officer was treating Gunnarson as best as he could.

(Gunnarson is a private detective.)
Unfortunately, she was too fast, and they lost her. Meanwhile, Gunnarson...

*pause-
That contradicts the last post; I sincerely apologize for running over yours.
(I think by "Gent's best" he meant just that; as one of the best men Gent has to rely on for cases)

Okay... which post do we go with?

The first one I guess; she'll probably have a contact bail her out or something.
So I guess we pick up from the third cop treat Gunnarson best as he could.

The doctor soon arrived. "Hmm, not as bad as it sounded, he'll be back in business in a few days." "Really?"
Meanwhile... The officers brought Elvira to the station, but seconds before she entered, the handcuffs clanged open. The men let go in surprised, and Elvira ran away. They followed her, but could not find her, and returned to the station defeated.

"It makes zero sense; I had the cuffs secured from the beginning; no one can just slip out of them" one said.
"Well; we've got her face and appearance; let's go to the sketch artist so we can get her face in the papers" his friend assured. And they did.
The doctor was looking at Gunnarson "you're extremely lucky, that item (purposefully unspecfied) in your pocket really took the brunt of the blow; so the bullet did not penetrate much and you've mostly got bruising with some bleeding" the doctor explained

"That's good," said Gunnarson. "Phew!" said Gent. "But what was in your pocket?" "This, my friend," and he held up a...

A steel flask.
"Never drink on the job; just nice to have water on hand during long investigations" he explained.
Some time later, Gunnarson had gone home and Gent went back to HQ.
"Will the favor be ready tomorrow?" He asked on the phone.
"All good to go; the six men in question will be summoned to the location and all should be well."
"All right; as they were the only ones who bought Royal guard, it's got to be one of them. I'll give Gunnarson a call and let him know."
"Good night Gent."
He then called Gunnarson to update him.

"Excellent," said Gunnarson. "When will they be there?"

"11:00 tomorrow; you get some rest, we've got this" Gent assured.
Next day, the six men from the ledger showed up at the location. The first thing observed- Franz Gelb and William Cook matched the description known. But they were better off not jumping to conclusions. The scheme was carried out.
"As you know gentlemen, your local tobacco store has closed for the forseeable future. However, we are willing to provide you all 10 free packs of Royal Guard cigarettes each. All you have to do is participate in the government's new initiative to crack down on crime. Give us you fingerprints for the records, and that's all it is. No, you are not criminals. Rather, we have them on hand so we can distinguish yours from the criminals should bad things happen."
20 minutes later, the scheme had worked brilliantly. "Shall I call Gunnarson sir?" An officer asked.

"Yes, then see if we've got a match." Gunnarson came as soon as he got the call.

"I don't advise you coming here in your condition, but since you insist, we've got the fingerprints. We're focusing on Gelb and Cook for the moment."
An officer came up to Gunnarson. "Check it out- the woman that shot you last night" the police sketch was in the paper. "She's got no where to hide now; her face is everywhere."
Hours later, an officer came up to Gent "Gelb's prints are on the cane sir; it's a match. We've also compared to the prints on the coded papers- we've got our man." The officer said.
"All right, get a warrant for his arrest. Gunnarson, you go home, we've got this." Gent said."
......
Elvira was reading the paper... She came across the sketch of her face in the pages with "wanted: attempted murder. 2000 pound reward."

She laughed out loud. The fools! How should they have known she'd already fled the continent?

"What the devil?!" cried an outraged Gelb.
