** The case starts as a minor inconvenience the Tropeville Police can deal with, but [[MinorCrimeRevealsMajorPlot as more and more twists reveal increasing layers of conspiracy]], star investigators of every kind of law enforcement branch in the world arrive and promptly enter an escalating WimpFight for supremacy. And to further the irony, Alice and Bob solving the case of the minor inconvenience (which is the case the other agents order them to stick to) is what saves the world.

If they can't lock the guy up for the murder in Tropeville, there's always that theft in Writeburg, to say nothing about that crime of kicking the dog in Comictown.

Bob, however, is not happy about it, especially since Claire acts like she's superior to everyone. Her partner Danny, however, proves more reasonable and helpful, and [[CharacterDevelopment they develop a better understanding and respect for each other]] while working the case. On the other hand, Claire's snippy behavior makes Alice reluctant to call the FBI for help in the future, as she doesn't look forward to the prospect of potentially having to work with ''her'' again...
Added DiffLines:
** Following the "Defied" example, the FBI learns about the case anyway. Because Alice and Bob were trying to hide information from them, they immediately assume the worst: that they're somehow ''involved'' in the original crime and were trying to cover up their own corruption. Now the two detectives have to deal with hostile and suspicious agents picking apart their every move, trying to find any flaws and failings they can use to get the pair fired...
