Two serial killers in competition with each other to be more audacious, more disturbing, more terrifying, and getting more media attention than the other. Think Whitechapel Murders (Jack the Ripper) versus the Thames Torso Murders which happened at roughly the same time. Each one trying to barely make their escape (the adventure of being caught), trying to be more spectacular (for certain values of that word) than the other, higher profile victims, who could tease the cops more, that kind of thing. Only to draw the attention of an older serial killer who realizes these two are going to get them all caught and decides to either kill them, or deliver both to the cops while blaming them for the third killer's crimes (mostly likely going on for decades).
If you like, you can change this to some other crime (extortion, robbery, etc).
For a twist you can have them realize that they're suddenly out of their depth and that there are bigger monster swimming in their pond, so they join forces to protect themselves.
