Shadows filled the narrow street as the mist rolled in from the sea. A swinging street lamp started to flicker, casting light before blanking out again. The light lit up the boarded up signs on the small shops. As the light continued to flicker a hooded figure suddenly darted down the street only stopping when the light flickered out. The shadows seemed to cling to the person as they stuck close to the wall. Breathing slightly the figure stopped at the end of the street, glancing around before running across the road to the next side street. The figure stopped once but that was only to check for the reassuring presence of the small black, pull-string bag that was tied to a silver belt around their waist. As the figure continued to run, adrenalin began to build as the final exit came into sight, throwing caution to the wind the person ran straight out across the road and into the oncoming motorcycle.
The driver swerved suddenly but the wheels went from underneath catching them both by surprise the driver let go as the bike skidded to a stop a few feet ahead. Picking himself up the young man checked his body, wincing slightly at the heat rash on his leg where it was caught between the tarmac and the bike finally his attention turned to the person who ran in front of him. Finding the person lying on the side of the road was luck, as he wouldn't have noticed them with at all the black only the black hood had fallen down showing silver hair in the street light."Hay? Are you all right?" he asked his eyes narrowed at the lack of response lifting a gloved finger to his ear he pressed a small button. "Control I got a problem, just hit a civilian request first aid as civilian is currently unresponsive" "Roger that Robin assistance on its way" taking off his gloves Robin crouched next to the person and pulled back the hood fully, to show light on her soft features, her chest rose softly and rhythmically. It was the silver mask over her eyes that caught his attention. His eyes then dropped to the black bag tied to her belt. Untying it he tipped the content into his palm to see it clearly. Sparkling in the dim light was the Blue Sapphire, a jewel that only recently was unveiled in the city art museum. "Looks like I just caught a thief" he murmured placing it back in the bag and leaving it on the ground. "Beta to control, can you hear me?" the voice answered in his ear "Go ahead Robin what's the situation?" looking down at the thief robin took out a rope chord "Seems he civilian I ran into is a jewel thief" the line cracked as he heard laughter on the other end. "Dude way to start the night patrol off, ok sending the local police in the area other they should be there in the next 10 minutes, once the perpetrator is tied you can continue to the rondevu point and wait there for team alpha over and out" "Roger". Robin tied her up and left her on the side walk sitting on one of the benches, he made sure to tie her to the bench too. After glancing over his motorcycle he pulled on his helmet and glanced back when he saw movement that she was waking "don't worry" he called out over the revved up engine "the police should be here soon", he smiled through the helmet as the bike slipped into gear and speed off leaving her alone.
Tied to a bench was not what she had expected to walk up to, but the shock soon wore off when she remembered the police warning from the guy who hit her, she was hit...and he tied her up? What was up with that wasn't he supposed to call the ambulance but not someone gets hit you call the police and leave. Shaking her head she had to concentrate it wouldn't be good to get caught by the police all tied up nicely for when they arrive. Quickly she swung into action and felt the ropes around her for a weak spot, no luck; the rope was a wire cord that was strong, flexible and hard to cut. Running out of options she looked around for anything, trying to ignore the growing panic in her chest, when she saw the joining. It was a small black cylindrical shape that had a capital 'R' inscribed on it. It was worth a try reaching her belt she managed to extract a small pen, diamond tipped she pressed it along the joining of the cord searching for any small seam. Finding one she dug the diamond tip pen into it breaking the joint apart and finally loosening the cord around her arms and legs. Jumping to her feet she stilled suddenly letting the sounds of the outside world wash over her, the sound of sirens where loudly followed by screeching tires. Grabbing a piece of paper from her pouch she scribbled down a message smirked, then tossing it on the broken cord before grabbing the black pouch and bee-lining it out of there.
Exactly two minutes later the lead investigator for the museum robbery arrived on scene "Alright so where is this thief?"A junior cop ran up to him "Sorry sir but all that's here is this cut cord and a note found by one of the benches across the street". Reading the note the inspectors face started to redden crushing the letter in his fist "What are you waiting for" he barked at the stunned man "Get every available cop to search the area, I want her found!" the surrounding police in the area scattered around the area. Calming slightly the investigator threw the crumpled note to his young colleague, who opened it to read Sorry I couldn't stay detective! Tell Boy Wonder I said Hi, c U NXT tym and a smiley face drawn in the corner, the investigator chose this time to kick a nearby bin in frustration while those present stiffened. As the police searched the area for the elusive thief, said thief stood on the roof of one of the buildings, smiling at the scene through binoculars "watch your blood pressure chief" she smirked as he left off steam. Taking into account that there where police searching for her, the female thief turned and walked briskly across the roof where she jumped to the next roof and proceed to the next, waving friendly at a little boy who peeked out his bedroom window "You should be in bed young man not watching a jewel thief in action" she whispered to him before heading for the fire stairs beside his window and making her way down it to the ground level. The little boy stared in awe as she ran off, remembering only her black mask with silver lining and a kind smile. In the morning his mother will tell him it was a dream but the report on the news of a jewel robbery stop her short "told you" he announced to his shocked mother who could only shake her head uselessly.
