That afternoon Gnomeo met Juliet for lunch and he had an idea he saw her coming and went up and hugged her.

''Hello Beautiful.'' He smiles and kisses her cheek.

''Hello handsome.'' She giggled she set her purse down and it fell over spilling a few things Gnomeo helped her with the stuff and once all was in her bag he held up the hair thing. ''Is this yours?''

''Oh yes it is thank you so that is where it went.'' She smiled and took it.

Gnomeo was shocked but not too surprised he was relieved to know that he wasn't cheating on Juliet and he looks at her their waiter came over with their menus. ''So I never did ask what is your last name?'' He asked.

''Hmm.'' She looked up.

''Oh I mean well I never got your last name and I'm curious.'' He said.

''Oh its um Red Juliet Red.'' She said getting nervous.

''Really because that hair band you took I actually found on the floor of the Natural History Museum after the robber left she dropped it and all I could get was the name Redbrick and that hair thing I just held up it wasn't in your purse. So I assume your Redbrick and you are the one robbing the stores.'' He said staring hard at her.

Juliet felt fear in her and she gasped and sighed looking down ashamed. ''So I'm right your Juliet Redbrick?'' He asked.

''Alright yes-- yes I am are you happy now!'' She shouted and got up and left.

Gnomeo got up and ran after her. ''Juliet wait!'' He grabbed her hand as she was hurrying to her car.

''What?! You know who I am.'' She broke down.

''Hey take it easy, I-I'm not gonna arrest you.'' He said.

''W-What?'' She asked.

''No I can't that isn't my job, I might call the police but I might not all depends I need you to be honest with me why are you stealing stuff it doesn't seem like you and you seem to hate what you do?'' He asked knowing he wasn't gonna turn her in.

She looked around. ''We need to go somewhere more secluded too many ears around.'' She said.

''Ok lets go to my car.'' He said as he got in and she hopped in and he looked at her.

''Ok I'm Juliet Redbrick and yes I rob the galleries and museums but I'm being forced to do it I don't have a choice.'' She said looking down.

''I knew it.'' He said.

''What?''

''Yes I knew you were being forced who is forcing you?'' He asked anxious.

''His name is Marcus Fuller and he has my dad kept prisoner somewhere and the only way my dad stays alive is if I do as he says and rob places basically doing his dirty work.'' She said sighing.

Gnomeo listened and looked at her taking her hand. ''I hate stealing and doing all of that but I want my dad alive and if I get caught and put in jail my dad will die, if I fail or try to find him he will die I only get to talk to him once a week and I'm not even sure where he's at or if he is alive.'' She sighed.

''Wait is your dad the one who had the big gambling debt?'' He asked.

''How did you know?'' Asked Juliet amazed.

''Well when I was trying to figure out who the hair piece belonged to I asked my friend and he told me about your dad.'' Gnomeo said.

''I would stop if only I could save my dad and knew he was safe-- he wants me to move on and be happy but I can't he's the only family I have left I made a promise to my mom that I would never let anything happen to my dad but Marcus is watching my every move so yeah.'' She said.

''What if I was to help you find your dad?'' He asked.

''I don't want to risk it if Marcus catches wind of this he can kill my dad at anytime.'' She said.

He took her hand. ''I have a friend who usually works cases and I will talk to him about it and see if he will look into it he is the best of the best.'' He said.

''Oh Gnomeo are you serious?'' She asked getting her hopes up and grabbed his other hand.

''Yes I will help you Juliet I don't want you to go to jail.'' He said.

''I will though I mean I did all the crimes and if you caught me who knows who else would catch me.'' She said.

''Not true see you were being forced to do it but what about the other two?'' He asked.

''Daphne and Amber my closest friends, Daphne was homeless and he saved her from getting raped and Amber was in a abusive relationship and the guy was gonna reveal her darkest secret that could get her in trouble. Marcus found them and made all their troubles go away as long as we do his bidding.'' She said.

Gnomeo was beyond mad this guy using these three girls for his own gain and he hated that. ''Well you won't have to deal with that anymore.'' Gnomeo said.

''I have to because if I stop he'll know something is up.'' She said looking at him.

''Only until we find your dad I promise Juliet.'' He lifted her face and kisses her.

She kisses back her hands on his chest. ''So are you sorry that I'm the robber and the girl your dating?''

''Nah to be honest I'm relieved I do feel bad I mean it was hard I wanted both of you but I think deep down I knew it was you and did you really sneak into my apartment or was that a dream?'' He asked.

''I did I couldn't help it I wanted you and I wanted to see which one you would go for.'' She blushes.

''To be honest I would choose you Juliet and I never came onto your robber it was all you.'' He grins.

She leans on him and kisses him, he kisses back and pulls her to his lap. ''We need to go somewhere more private Juliet.''

She nodded as they kissed again as he took off back to his place.
