--> Arnold whipped around to see a familiar figure coming down the stairs. She was wearing black high-heeled boots, skinny jeans, and a black long-sleeved v-neck shirt. Her long orange curls were pulled up in a stylish messy ponytail, and her icy blue eyes were bright behind her glasses. She was radiant with cleanliness and arrogance. She was wearing a leather shoulder holster, a black handgun on one side, and her spare ammo on the other. She looked like a detective, if the femme fatale was also the detective.

Despite loving her, he knows she's a dangerous woman, especially after she threatens him when he playfully teases her.
