In a public place

Nazia had finally traced a location for Alisha/Agent V. It had taken all her detective skill to get this information as Alisha really had gone off the maps. She found an old relative in her database and finally got the information out of her on where Alisha lived. Nazia did not want to go to her house though, because she knew Alisha was too smart and would probably have some exits. She decided to observe her house and find her habits, behavioral patterns and timings.

Finally, after a week of observation, she figured she'd catch Alisha when she goes grocery shopping at the mall. On the way back, just as Alisha was about to place her shopping in her car, Nazia and 3 officers cornered her.

Alisha was dressed in a casual half sleeve shirt and jeans while Nazia was immaculately dressed in a gray pant-suit with a white hijab matching her white blouse. The contrast between the two couldn't be starker as their outfits reflected their personality - Alisha - chilled and casual, Nazia - formal and immaculate.

Alisha looked up in surprise but then smiled at Nazia.

"Oh Nazia, how good to see you after so long...what can I do for you?" asked Alisha as she looked around and took in her surrounding.

"We'd like you to come with us for some routine questioning on a case."

"Haha straight to the point like always, you haven't changed one bit Nazia" laughed Alisha as she didn't seem perturbed by the four police officers surrounding her now. "What is this about though?"

"Well we would just like you to answer some questions."

Alisha looked up Nazia from top to bottom and then observed the other police officers but the smile remained plastered on her face.

And then she left her grocery in her car and walked along with officers but not before she quipped

"Well Detective Nazia, I was wrong about one thing. You have changed in one way"

"And what would that be?" asked Nazia

"You've gained some weight...looks like you spend your days sitting behind a desk since becoming Detective"

Nazia's face flushed. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. She couldn't move in shock. She looked sideways to notice that the other officers were trying to stifle a laughter. Alisha had insulted her right in front of her subordinates.

"Shut up!!" And with that Nazia grabbed Alisha with her into the car.
