Kasai crossed her arms in front of her and made no effort to entertain Avani's playful demeanor. She wasn't in a particularly playful mood at the moment, considering the circumstances. However, she remained silent while Avani tried to dance around the subject and switch topics to distract her. Kasai bit the inside of her lip to keep from blabbering off something she would most likely regret. 

"Now is not the time for smooth talk, Avani." Kasai said, not blinking as she looked up to return the gaze. 

"If you think you miss me now, wait until they've had you locked up for a few years." 

And finally, the flood gates of truth opened up. Kasai wasn't really too surprised with what she heard, which was maybe the part that concerned her the most. Morally, it went against everything she stood for and believed in. But there was just something about this damn girl that made Kasai tolerate it. She did remember the teasing Avani did about how she got her money, and again with her hatred of law enforcement it did all add up correctly. 

The tidbit that did draw some attention was the fact that they wanted her to stick around. That was definitely a bad thing... or a potentially good one, if they were going to use her as an inside scout. It might be the only way to guarantee she doesn't go down with them. 

"I would've found out eventually, better now than when you're behind bars wondering if I can sweet talk my boss again." 

Before she could remark another smartass comment, she was cutoff by Avani's lips on her own. It took her a moment to register the action before she unfolded her arms and put a hand on Avani's shoulder. Kasai pulled away and sighed. 

"I'm sorry, I'm just stuck in cop mode. This isn't a good situation, Avani. Even if you never go near those people again, they could still rat you out and take you down with them. Once the castle starts to crumble, they tend to pull everyone down with them." Kasai shrugged her shoulders. 

"I have an idea, but it'll require you to play nice with some people at the PD..." Kasai half-grinned, knowing that the idea was sure to raise a few hairs on the other woman. "But on the bright side, it keeps you from being arrested. All you have to do is agree to work as an inside-man and report the activity back to the department. Then you won't be charged with anything when the sting goes down."
