To Catch a Thief

There's a knock on the door and I open it.

"You're late." I say.

Y/n sighs and takes a deep breath.

"Work." Y/n says.

Y/n unzips her jacket and I see blood on her shirt.

I met Y/n about 12 years ago. I was a senior and highschool and she was in her second year of college. We hit it off and started dating.

She ended up dropping out and making money out of nowhere. My parents let her stay with us because she had money to pay bills. When she moved in, break-in and robberies started happening in the area.

Things were disappearing in my neighborhood

Apparently there hadn't been that many crimes since 1930 which is when the Salieris, a Mafia, ran the city.

Once again somebody was up to no good

I looked through records and found out Y/n had legally changed her last name from Salieri and was wanted for questioning.

I saw that you were wanted, but not like I wanted you

I told Y/n I could find her away out but she didn't care. She said I could have her and her baggage or not have her at all. I did what any moron would do, fall in love and marry her.

And that's when I knew I had to be with you
And that's when I knew if I didn't, I'd be through

Once I was hooked, I couldn't let go.

To end my grief I'd have to catch a thief

"We lost Sam." Y/n says.

She starts to cry and I hug her.

Your love was my relief my love is your release

Time Skip

I hear sirens and Y/n runs inside.

Come into my window
It's open every night
That's where I'll be waiting

"What's going on?" I ask as she closes the curtains.

I'll keep off all the lights

"Get down." Y/n says.

I lay on the floor and hear banging on the door.

I'm lying on my bed

"LAPD!" Someone shouts.

"We're gonna need a warrant, head out." Someone shouts.

The sirens turn off and Y/n opens the backpack.

"You can have that." Y/n says handing me a necklace.

Crown jewels on my head

"All or nothing?" Y/n asks.

I sigh and nod.

"All." I say.

I'd never give you up

Y/n smiles and puts one of her hands in the back of her pants. She pulls a gun out and I widen my eyes.

"Guess I don't need this anymore." Y/n says taking the bullets out.

So come in from the cold, let your guard down

"You got my back, I got yours." She says.

I'd hide you from the cops
Don't be frightened now my love
I'll take the life of crime, all to make you mine

"What the fuck just happened?" I ask.

"There's a mole. There's no way the 20 cop cars happened to be in the same place coincidentally." Y/n says.

"So you decided to bring an entire precinct of cops to YOUR HOUSE?" I ask.

Come in off that roof top

"By the time they get a warrant, we'll be gone." Y/n says.

She grabs the box off the shelf and opens it.

"You pick." She says handing it to me.

"I'm gonna change." She says.

You're so handsome dressed in black

She walks down the hall and I sigh.

See you in the shadows

I go through the box and see driver's licenses and passports.

This is too much. Maybe I should've turned Y/n in. Well, Mark does make sure everything is okay.

"If you treat my daughter well, I will treat you very well. If I find out you are a mole, it will be a very different story. Either way, I can make things happen." Mark says.

Take this precious treasure
And I will treasure you

"What is this?" I ask as Y/n comes back in the room.

"We getting out. No more running, this is the home stretch." Y/n says.

We'll run away my dear
Some place special have no fear

"We just gotta make some changes..." Y/n says.

We'll even change our names

"We're one of the few to get out. Had to really convince my dad." Y/n says.

We'll be kinky, we'll be strange

"You have been my ride or die through all this crazy shit and I'm so grateful for that. Now all we have to do is ride." She says.

I'll take the life of crime, all to make you mine

"You down?" She asks.

All to catch a thief

I nod and Y/n kisses me.

Your love is my relief, my love is your release

"I love you." Y/n says.

Your love is my relief, my love is your release

"I love you too." I say.

All to catch a thief
