Disclaimer: Do I have to tell you guys that I don't own Heist Society and the only thing I own here is the plot and the new unheard of characters?


Author's Note: Chapter 3 is sort of long (I mean, I think it is.). And it gives us information about our new character! I'm trying to finish the story by next week since school is about to begin, but I don't think I can do that. I'm having fun writing. :) :)


Chapter 3

5:03pm, Kat checked her watch. Hale hasn't called her yet so it probably means that he also had no luck finding the girl. She was still sitting at the restaurant near the fountain, drinking her 5th cup of lemonade (a/n: Yeah, that's how hot it was.), when someone caught her attention. A girl, who looked a few years younger than she was, was reading at the fountain.

She had long dark hair, and a slender stature. Porcelain skin that made her looked like one of those expensive dolls you see on display. Kat wasn't so sure what made her stare at the girl. She was pretty, no doubt about that, but something else about this girl made her stand out, different.

"It certainly isn't her clothes." Kat thought.

The girl was neither wearing clothes as short as Gabrielle, nor skimpy ones. To Kat, she was wearing something that resembles a school uniform. People walking pass this particular girl would look at her like she was on display, admiring her. But she just sits there, reading, oblivious to the people who gawk at her.

That's when Kat realized it.

"Man, I'm slow today. How come I realized this just now?" Kat asked herself. "Must be the heat."

She was walking towards the girl, more like pacing actually, and as if she sensed her coming, the girl looked directly at Kat then smiled.

"Gray eyes, bingo." Kat smiled to herself.

"Hey." Kat said.

"Hello." The girl replied, standing up. "You must be Katarina, am I right? Or should I call you Kat?" delight showing all over her face.

"Kat is good enough. You must be the girl we've spent hours looking for." Kat said, showing her annoyance toward the tardy girl.

The doll faced girl laughed. "I'm sorry; I told Hale I'll be coming here later than expected." Then her expression changed as if remembering an unpleasant memory. "Boarding schools can be such a pain."

Oh the irony. 2 months after being kicked out of Colgan, Kat still wished for normalcy. And this girl, who has it, tries to break out of it like having a normal life is a prison sentence. Life is totally unfair.

"I see." Kat said, obviously not seeing. "Well... you know my name, what's yours?"

Not knowing something bothers Kat. Not knowing something about someone who obviously knows something about her, well let's just say the phrase, it pisses her off, is the understatement of the week.

The girl tilted her head to an adorably cute angle and smiled her mischievous smile. She just loves it when people with the same profession as her ask her that question.

"It depends." She answered still smiling. "Where are you from?"

Kat, obviously confused with the girl's unusual answer, asked "What do you mean?"

The girl laughed to herself. "If you're from here I'm Mei-li. Italy, Allegra and I think I'm supposed to be Jenny in New York."

"What does Hale call you?" asked Kat.

"A huge pain."

Kat turned around and saw Hale already behind her. "How long have you've been standing there?" She asked annoyed because of her lack of focus.

Hale shrug then turned to the doll like girl. "You're late."

"I did warn you. "She looked at Hale with the slightest sign of annoyance showing in her face. "Plus, I was being watched."

Kat was now intrigued. If this girl is being watched, then she must be something. After all, she was just, what? 13?

"Your grandfather?" Hale asked, slightly raising his eyebrows.

The girl rolled her eyes as if saying "duh."

"Wait, so let me get this straight." Kat interjected. "We're getting help from a 13 yr. Old girl who's being watched by her grandpa? Is this some kind of joke?"

Now, Kat was just shocked. How could they possibly go through, with what could possibly be the most dangerous mission in her entire life, if the girl they're asking help from is a 13 year old girl who's being watched over by her grandpa? But Kat have forgotten one important detail, Hale asked this girl for help.

"Okay, first off, I'm not 13." The girl answered Kat, obviously irritated by Kat's sudden outburst. "Second, Kat, Have you ever heard of the man named Alexio Argyros? If you're as good as they say you are, then of course you've heard of him. He's my grandfather."

Alexio Argyros, one of the richest men in the world, was also rumoured to be the leader of the most dangerous crime organization in the world. His only son, Cedric Argyros- who had two daughters, disappeared during a very infamous heist in England 10 years ago, never to be heard from again.

Shock showed all over Kat's face. She cannot believe that the girl standing in front of her was one of the Argyros. She didn't look like a thief, but then again, neither did Kat.

The girl, amused by Kat's reaction, smirked then said "I'm the younger granddaughter"

"My sister is somewhere in Europe studying. Trying to live the good, law abiding life." She said the latter as if it's some sort of disease.

"But where's the fun in that, right?" the girl added.

"Just in case you haven't put two and two together Kat, " Hale said in a bored tone. "Her name is Luna."
