"Time out." The voice was clear over the police radio, the smooth tones of the Kid as the white-clad figure stopped at the edge of a rooftop, still clearly ahead of his men.

Nakamori blinked for a moment, then grabbed his radio in a white knuckle grip. "Wha-at?!"

"Time out." The voice repeated. "It won't take but a moment, then you can chase me again."

"Wha- Wait just a minute!" He shouted.

His men stopped as confusion was taken as assent as the Kid jumped off the edge of the rooftop he was gallivanting along. The uniformed men at the edge paused, leaning over to watch what the crazy thief was doing this time.

Stealth-like, the Kid landed in a crouch on the ledge below them, holding a hand out. Raising his binoculars, Nakamori realized that there was a small spotted kitten, evidently stranded on the ledge. It crawled towards the Kid's gloved fingers and allowed itself to be picked up.

He then walked over and handed the kitten to a red-haired woman who was leaning dangerously out the window, trying to call the kitten back. She thanked him, accepting the kitten from his grasp and began to roundly chew out the spotted cat for doing something so stupid in the first place.

The thief gave a small salute and jumped, grabbing the rooftop with his fingers and pulling himself up. He straighten and waved. "Alright. Time in!" The voice called over the radio, annoyingly cheerful again.

Nakamori growled, his teeth grinding together in an attempt not to curse at the absurdity of it all while the chase resumed, the Kid agilely leaping to the next rooftop ahead of his men, ignoring the fact that he had lost a little bit of his lead.

… Idiot thief.
