As soon as the red haired lady stepped into the ball room wearing a red, slightly revealing gown, her eyes became fixed on the host of the party and casually walked up to him.
"Busy evening for you, isn't it?" She asked seductively.
The host, a young man in his twenties, jumped and eyed her with a small smirk. "So it seems, how may I entertain a beautiful lady like you?"
"How about you step away from all these people and their stuffy political talks and accompany me outside for a moment?" She winked.
"Hm, I suppose I can leave my guest for a moment or two." The man said thoughtfully and gave her a knowing look. "Come with me, I know the perfect spot for us to…get acquainted with each other." He took her by the arm and led her out to a balcony across from the ballroom and closed the door behind them.
"You sure know the best places." She giggled and walked closer to him as though she wanted to kiss him. He got the idea and just when his face was just inches away from Vanessa's, a cable shot out from the ledge above the doors and shocked him unconscious.
The lady nimbly stepped away as he fell forward and gave the two people on the ledge a thumbs up. "Nice save."
"You were too convincing just now." Haruki remarked as he and Hikaru jumped down and tossed her a backpack.
"What can I say?" She shrugged as she pulled off her red wig and latex mask, revealing to be Vanessa. "I got to get his back turned on you or he would have seen you."
Hikaru on the other hand began searching the man's pockets and pulled out a plastic card. "I got it. Let's go."
"You guys go ahead." Vanessa said as she opened the balcony's doors. "I'm going to get changed and will meet you guys at the master bedroom."
"Take your time." Haruki grunted as she slipped into the nearest bathroom while he and Hikaru snuck downstairs and headed to a room with large doors. "Here is the safe room."
Hikaru flashed the card at the device on the wall and attached a device to it. "Sakuya, do your magic." He whispered into his ear comn
"Leave it to me."
Instantly, the device began to break the code from Sakuya's computers and it took him less than five seconds to unlock the door. They slipped inside and began spraying the room with some sort of chemical to check for lasers. Soon enough, the entire area around the safe was surrounded with lasers shooting out from the floor.
"This will be tricky. But nothing we cannot handle." Haruki mused as he tapped several buttons on his gauntlet and it emitted a pulse that instantly shut down the lasers. He and Hikaru carefully made their way to the safe in case there is more traps and took out a pair of statoscopes from his bag and fiddled with the dial until it clicked unlock. Hikaru took his cue and opened up the safe. Inside, there was stacks and stacks of cash and Haruki and Hikaru stuffed them in their bags until all of it was taken.
"How in the word does he keep this much cash in his pockets?" Hikaru grunted as he hauled his now heavy bag out of the room and snuck back upstairs to the master bedroom where Vanessa, now dressed in a black suit, was waiting for them.
"About time." She joked. "I was beginning to think that you got caught."
"You're not the one hauling 2kg bags filled with cash around." Hikaru retorted as they entered the bedroom.
"Give it a break." Haruki hissed. "We have a job to do here. Vanessa?"
Vanessa opened up her backpack and pulled out a screwdriver and gave it to Haruki. He went over to the painting on the wall and pried it off with the screwdriver. When he managed to remove the painting, a small safe was revealed to be built into the wall. He pried opened it and began shifting around the jewelry inside until he found the gem that he was looking for. An emerald necklace with tiny diamond clusters on top and below it.
"I got it." Haruki told them and placed it in a box in Vanessa's backpack. Suddenly, the alarm sounded and the three of them jumped.
"I think our guy is already awake." Vanessa gulped.
"Come on!" Haruki led them to the window and they climbed up the drain pipe to the roof. Like cats, they ran across the roof all the way to the edge. Vanessa pulled out a grapping hook out of her bag and shot it at the wall surrounding the estate.
"Secure it." She told Haruki as she tossed the other end to him. He took it and tied it up to one of the prodding spikes decorating the roof and they glided over to the wall. It only took them two seconds to reach it and thirty seconds to climb down. A red car soon pulled up to them and they scrambled inside.
"Did you get the cash and the necklace?" The driver, Arata, asked and he resumed driving down the road at high speed.
"Yes." Haruki nodded as he passed his bag to Hikaru at the back.
"Arata, you got cops on your tail." Sakuya told him through the car's radio. "About four of them."
Arata made a tsking sound and stepped on the gas while veering around the road, causing the occupants of the car to be tossed around.
"Arata!" Vanessa yelled as she trying to stop herself from falling onto Hikaru as Arata made a sharp right into the highway.
"Relax! I've done this a hundred times." Arata yelled back. He suddenly pressed the breaks and swerved the car around and drove towards the police cars.
"What are you doing!?" Vanessa yelled in shock.
"Trust me." Arata maneuvered the car such that the right side of the bumper will hit the police car on the right which made it swerve off course towards another police car and they collided. Arata then smashed the car against the one on his left and stepped in the gas. Again he swerved the car around and drove in his original direction with only one police car, which managed to avoid the chaos, chasing them.
"We have one more on our tail!" Hikaru told his friend.
"Let's see how he likes this then." Arata stepped on the gas harder and he knew that the police car had followed his suit. He smirked and abruptly moved his foot to the breaks. Instantly, the tires squealed as the car shot backwards, passing by the still speeding police car. As Arata moved his feet back to the gas and was about to crash into the back of the police car, it suddenly veered to the right, narrowly missing Arata's car. Arata gritted his teeth and tried to maneuver to the side of the police car but it merely moved closer and made the first move of crashing onto Arata's car, trying to push it off the road.
"Arata, forget about disabling that car. Yuno is five miles to the east. Lure it there and let her do the rest while you escape!" Sakuya told him.
"Fine." Arata said through gritted teeth and repositioned the car on his lane and sped off towards Yuno's direction. As expected, the other car followed but when Arata made a sharp turn, a grenade was thrown out of nowhere and the police car had to skid off the road to avoid the explosion.
"Thanks Yuno." Arata muttered as he watched his girlfriend drive off on her motorbike and followed behind her back to their hideout.
"This is the fifth time this month." The chief inspector muttered to himself as he climbed out of the car while watching the fire department put out the remaining flames from the explosion. "The Ladrón Guild is getting too daring."
"Sir." One of his subordinates saluted. "Got a message from the FBI back at the station. They said that they will be taking over the investigations of the Ladrón Guild."
"It's about time they did." The chief inspector sighed. "Tell them that I'm too willing to hand over the reins."
"Are you sure about that?"
"Just how many cars have we lost to them? And how many times have we failed to even get a single identity of one of them?" He groaned. "I'm tired of dealing with them. They can take care of them for all I care. I would rather sit down in the office with a cup of coffee and a doughnut in my hands than running around, trying to catch some thieves who can't be caught."
"Yes sir."
