Heero's P.O.V.
It started as any other day. I got up, showered, got dressed, made a quick breakfast, got a coffee, and left to work. I work as a detective in a huge corporation in the southern part of L2 named Hawk Enterprises. Its specific purpose is similar to that of a cop, but we are much more involved in the crimes. For example, we do much more investigating, physical work, riskier things, and more undercover work. Back on track, if I hadn't gone to work that day, I wouldn't have wound up in such a screwed up, peculiar, hell-ridden, perfect, amazing predicament.
When I got to my office that day, I was expecting to do the usual; sit down, sign paperwork, and type novel long papers on my progress thus far. I've been a detective for three years, and they're still on my ass. Then I got the call.
"Hello? Heero Yuy speaking." I said when I answered my phone.
"Yuy, this is Une. We have just gotten information on a new case. We believe that you'll be perfect for this assignment. You've never failed a case, you can use the most obscure clues to find the perpetrators, you can catch a culprit with little clues, you-" said my boss's second-in-command Lady Une.
"I appreciate the flattery Une, but it's very apparent that you're trying to push me onto this assignment. Is it really that difficult of a case that you have to praise me? You could have at least tried not to cut it too close to the jacket." I said while simultaneously getting ready to type out my whatever my new assignment was going to be.
"Nothing gets past you does it?" Une said with a little chuckle.
"Not that I keep track, but as far as I can tell, no. Nothing gets past me." I said.
"Well since it seems that your up for the task, here's the information we have gathered thus far: 5 robberies in up class jewelry stores, 10 museum robberies, 7 bank thefts, and 13 deaths." Une told me.
"And you believe they are all related?" I asked.
"Yes, the stolen items are rare, expensive relics and all the victims who were killed were guards or people unfortunate enough to get night shift." Une stated. "Additionally, they're all recent crimes."
"I'm on it." deciding to accept the case.
I'm not sure if I wish I never said those words, or if I am glad that I had. Despite my emotions now, because of those three words, my life has changed.
Normal P.O.V.
After filing all the information that was already known by the organization, Heero went to the location of the most recent robbery, The St. John's Jewelry Market. To officially begin the actual investigation. Heero began his inquiry by taking notes on all the stolen items. So he could better understanding of the sort of items that the thief stole.
"Let's see… Mary Antoinette Ruby Rose Necklace, Anubis Etched Ankh Bracelet, Cleopatra Cameo Pin…hm… most of these items are over 1,000 years old. Maybe older." Heero told himself and wrote down all the items.
"And…!" said the store owner who was flustered and angry. He didn't think that the officials were handling the case well, but was mostly just angry that his most valuable items were stolen. "What's your point detective?" he said angrily.
"The thief, it appears, is only stealing valuable artifacts. If we go over past investigations, we could probably pin it on someone. Or at least narrow down suspects." Heero said and looked at the man who wasn't pleased with the response. "And yes, we'll return your items." Heero added firmly and the man calmed, but still continued cursing under his breath, but didn't dare provoke Heero again.
"Hey, Heero!" said Sally, a cop also investigating the crimes. "Guess what I heard?"
"Hm?" Heero replied, writing down the possible ways the thief broke into the store.
"There's a strong rumor going about that the notorious thief known as 'Shinigami' is the one behind these robberies." she said looking at Heero write.
"Shinigami?" Heero said looking up at Sally curiously. "But that's just a rumor. There's no guarantee that he'd rob all of these places. Plus, didn't he die a while ago in the De Milo Correctional Facility in Colony L4?"
"Yes, but people say he had a taken someone under his wing before he was caught in L4. They say that his 'padwan' might be carrying out his master's work." Sally stated. Heero rolled his eyes at her Star Wars analogy.
"Hm." Heero said thinking it over. "It's a possibility and I wont rule it out, but whatever the case, I will find the culprit and I will arrest them."
"Damn it Yuy, you really need to lighten up, or at least get laid!" Sally said teasingly. Receiving a death glare from Heero.
In an apartment building five blocks from the jewelry store
"Dumb cops've got nothin' on me. I'll steal everything worth stealing from here to hell all the way back to the great abyss. Shinigami will be remembered and will be feared." A dark figure said staring out the window. "People will love me, hate me, and fear me. I'll steal their hearts and sell it right back to them. And why the hell am I talkin' to myself? I really need to get laid!" The thief groaned. "Course' It'll have ta' be a one night stand, which I'll feel guilty bout' later, and I can't have an actual relationship cause I'd have ta' stop being Shinigami; and we can't have that now can we? Well gotta think about this later. I gotta date with a lovely lady named Isis Vera. Hope she's ready for me!"
