[5. Details are irrelevant. come bail me out of jail.]

You are really unhelpful for someone asking for my help, you know?
Even if he says anything else, that will be the last text he gets from her because she has to go throw a new outfit on before heading down to the precinct to bail him out. She's always got some kind of bail money set aside because- well- that's just the kind of life she and those closest to her lead, okay? It's just smart planning, at a certain point.
In the kind of way only Yelena can manage, she swans in and charms the absolute hell out of the people dealing with the most boring aspects of this job. She makes a soft enough demand of getting him out on bail that it's almost impossible for them to deny her.
"Who are you in relation to Barnes, anyway, sweetheart?" the man she'd been discussing everything with asks as he taps some information into his computer.
She leans an elbow on the counter and props her chin in her hand, "Can you keep a secret?" she stage-whispers conspiratorily.
"Sure," he says, amused as he glances back up at her. "I'm good at that."
"We're in something of a.... how you say... situationship. Very complicated and messy, but... worth it," she emphasizes those words with a suggestive lift of her eyebrows, "if you know what I mean," she completes the thought with a quick wink sent his way.
He chuckles lightly and nods, "I think I do," he finishes up what he was doing and says, "Officer Robins will take you the rest of the way, ma'am."
