Welp…this is supposed to be kinda funny but idk really. Like, a funny romantic story...
So, like the summary says, Sollux and Gamzee are international jewel thieves, and Karkat and Tavros are the two detectives/cops trying to catch them. Sollux is around 23, Gamzee is 24, Karkat is 22, and Tavros is 20. Dirk is like 30 I guess. Dirk is around 27/28. Dave is 18, John is 16.
And anyone else, just estimate their age...
It's short bc it's the prologue, mkay? I'm really bad at writing Jake and Dirk ;-; sorry bout that ehe.
Read on~
They all stared at the back of the black leather swivel chair, waiting for the man seated in it to turn around.
They waited.
And waited.
And waited.
And waited.
Until finally, the chair spun around to reveal a handsome blonde man with pointed shades stroking a cat puppet. He smirked.
"Ah, welcome my peasants!" Dirk Strider stroked the cat puppet—actually, it looked more like a smuppet—and stared at the three people in front of him. The tall, pale blonde with a purple streak in his hair just stared. The black-haired guy smiled a bit nervously. The blonde kid with shades groaned.
"Really Bro? Was the smuppet really needed?" Dave asked; his brother simply flipped him off.
"You said you have important tasks for us?" Jake spoke up, fiddling with a thread on his shorts.
"Just get on w-with it. Don't w-waste my time." Eridan crossed his arms, voice chilly.
"Yes it was needed. Yes I do. And be patient!" Dirk leaned back, waiting for the three to settle back before he began to talk again.
"You know of Hiwatari Enterprises?"
Jake nodded, Dave groaned again, and Eridan just huffed. Dirk mentally face-palmed and wondered why he had called these three out of all the people who worked for him.
"As head of the Police Department and head of all Criminal Activity that happens in these parts, I got an email yesterday that tipped me off about two famous jewel thieves in another country. The person said that he didn't know either of their real names, but one had violet eyes and the other had a lisp. The email also said that the two thieves escaped authorities and have taken refuge here, somewhere. And they are planning to steal every jewel in the Hiwatari Museum!"
Everyone in the city knew of the famous Hiwatari Museum. Jewels from all over the world—Egypt, Brazil, Europe—were imported to the museum every year. Some famous ones were the Lemon Drop (a rare Cat's Eye sphere); the Blossomed Rose (a spinal gem carved in the shape of a fully bloomed rose); the Heart of the Ocean (a stunning uncut blue sapphire); and the most famous of them all—the Cherry Bomb. It was a small, blood red gem with tiny gold flecks embedded deep inside, and priceless.
"You want us to stop them?" Jake asked in disbelief. Dirk shook his head, tossing the puppet behind him and resting his elbows on the mahogany desk.
"I need you to find two detectives." He said, slow and clear. Dave realized why he had been called here now. He had the most connection in town, and could find them pretty easily.
"One of them will be much harder to find. The other will be easy." Dirk spun around in the chair, his knee banging against the wall.
"I need names, Bro." Dave sighed impatiently.
"Karkat Vantas and Tavros Nitram. Tell them they owe Dirk for Istanbul." A smirk slid over the man's face before vanishing.
"F-fine." Eridan swept out of the office. Jake gave Dirk a smile before heading out the door as well. Dave flashed his brother a peace sign before jogging out too.
Dirk leaned back in the swivel chair, hoping this was a good idea and that it would work out. He just hoped Karkat wouldn't kill anyone, and that Tavros wouldn't refuse the job.
The two were almost like opposites, but when on the job, they acted quickly and efficiently as one.
Dirk just prayed that the two thieves weren't as good as his detectives.
Prologue done! Review please :)
