This idea kinda just popped into my head, so I figured I'd try to make it into a story. Feel free to tell me what you think!

None of the characters belong to me

"Alright, Bane, this is our chance to make it big. We solve this case, we'll get picked for more. Soon enough, we'll be at the top of the pecking order!" Ragnor Fell finished his speech with a triumphant look.

Magnus looked intently at the papers in front of him. "That's all wonderful, but can we talk about the fact that Lex is actually pretty damn sexy?"

Ragnor blanched and looked at the picture Magnus was gazing at. It was nothing more than a blurred face under a hood with a flash of two blue eyes.

"Oh please. With that picture you can barely tell that he's a human being."

Ragnor was such a downer.

Ragnor Fell was Magnus Bane's best friend and partner in crime, or rather, partner in law. The two worked for the NYPD and they were practically nonexistent in their firm. This case, about the notorious drug dealer 'Lex Wood' would be the one to get them off their feet.

Except that the case was hopeless. There was virtually no information on the man, except for a few blurry pictures of what might have been a face and some records of drug deal sightings. Lex was one of the most well-known drug dealers in New York and possibly owned a small drug cartel. It was Magnus and Ragnor's job to prove him guilty and bring him in, but the guy was a shadow.

"We can do it, Mags!" Ragnor said. "We really can!"

"Doesn't Lex Light sort of sound like a porn star name?"

"Focus, Magnus! I'm trying to give you a pep talk, goddammit."

"It really does, though. Doesn't it?"

Ragnor rolled his eyes. "Fine, maybe a little."

Magnus leaned back in his fun swirly chair and grinned at the picture. Oh yeah, he could tell. Lex was a hot one. And he was going to be slippery, too. A challenge.

Magnus loved a good challenge.

Barely a week later, Alec Lightwood ducked from the eyes of a police officer and pulled the hood of his ragged sweatshirt over his eyes. He tried his best to move in the shadows of the night, even if there was nobody who was chasing him. He wanted to remain invisible.

He checked his phone for the time and buried his hand into his pocket, fingering the baggy in his pocket. It was only a few grams of coke, no big deal. Normally he only appeared personally for bigger deals, but this one was small enough to be safe.

He got to the ally, where the man was waiting. He had beautiful green eyes nearly covered by dark hair, his tan skin and the almond shape of his eyes giving away a hint of Asian descent. He looked painfully out of place in a dingy alleyway. He was the type of man who was beautiful enough to be in movies.

He looked almost startled to see Alec. Eyes wide and mouth parted, the man seemed to struggle for words. Finally, he mumbled, "Um, hi?"

Alec blinked, not expecting such a mundane greeting. "Hi?"

The man's eyes darted to the side and he shifted on his feet uncomfortably. It was obviously his first deal, and Alec thought that was kind of adorable. He found himself grinning.

"So, uh-" the man cleared his throat, "-do you have the stuff?"

Alec stifled a laugh. "Yeah, man. I do, but money first."

"I don't think so."

That was a new voice, coming from the mouth of the alley. Instantly Alec's adrenaline kicked in.

His pulse quickened when the Asian man pulled out a small handgun. He flashed a badge. "Magnus Bane and Ragnor Fell, we're cops. Place your hands behind your back, you're being arrested."

Alec rolled his eyes.

"Seriously?" he asked. "Me and my brother were going to go to Olive Garden later."

Magnus eyed him warily. "Seriously, you're being arrested. Olive Garden can wait."

Alec let an easy pout fall on his lips and he inched closer to the handsome cop. He wasn't really worried about the gun. Magnus didn't seem like the type to pull the trigger.

But Ragnor, he was a problem. He had to go.

"Oh, come on," Alec said. He was filibustering, trying to distract the cops with useless words. "Olive Garden is delicious." He let his gaze scan Magnus' lithe frame. He drank in the way his uniform hugged his firm legs and torso. A man in uniform was always sexy. "Just like you."

"Back away from him."

That was Ragnor speaking. Ew.

Alec didn't listen. He inched a little closer. He was close enough; he could take the gun now.

Within seconds, and with expertise, Alec disarmed Magnus and had the gun turned on him. He heard Ragnor turn his safety off. "Ragnor, geez," Alec muttered. "You're so tense. Put down the gun, man."

Ragnor took in the sight of Alec pressing the gun to Magnus' head. It wasn't a suggestion. He put the gun on the ground.

"Good," Alec said. He walked over and picked up the second gun, keeping Magnus in his line of sight. He clicked the safeties back on and put a gun in each of his boots.

Neither Ragnor nor Magnus moved, fully aware that he could pull a gun back out in seconds.

"You're a dick," Magnus deadpanned. Alec laughed.

"And you're cute," he said. Magnus' heart did a little flip flop, which was horrible and inappropriately timed. But Alec was just so freaking hot. His heart was pounding. "Next time, leave Ragnor home. He interrupted what could've been a great date to Olive Garden."

Ragnor scoffed.

With a jaunty grin and a tip of an imaginary hat, Alec pushed past Ragnor and walked out of the mouth of the alley.

"Tell me, Magnus," Alec asked. "Are you on my case?"

"Unfortunately," Magnus grumbled.

Alec's grin widened. "Oh, fun. Well, catch me if you can."

And then he turned and ran down the street. Ragnor and Magnus watched him go.
