AN: This is a rewrite for The Mismatched Murderer, which I unfortunately have discontinue because of that stupid "no scripts" rule. Anyway, enjoy.

It was night.

Night, when the stores closed, their owners going home.

Night, when people generally stayed inside their homes, whether they were rodent, human or otherwise.

Night, when the moon, like London's own personal night light, lit the streets. When Luna, the full moon, ancient symbol of madness, smiled down on London to show its approval.

Night, where no one expected anyone to be out on a night like this.

But someone was.

-------------------------

A constable strolled past, saw nothing, and moved on. The sooner he got his job done, the sooner he could go home.

Meanwhile, up on the wall of Big Ben, someone watched the constable walk off. If the police mouse were to accidentally glance up at the clock tower, if he looked about halfway to the top, he would see nothing but specks of light. He wouldn't suspect anyone was there...

But someone was.

-------------------------

The stealth suit-wearing lion/rat hybrid watched the constable leave. "And so the constable cleared out, not comprehending that the concealed crimefighter contemplated over his every move."

"Very rhyming, Veek", the girl said from over the spy was wearing. "Batman would be so proud."

"Cut the chatter, Des", Veeken replied. "I'm working."

"All right", the girl, Des, sighed. "The target should be right below you."

Veeken looked down in time to see the Deerstalker-wearing mouse walk past. "Just in time", she thought, and swooped down to the rooftop above the mouse.

Just then, the mouse glanced up, so she had to hide from him, though it wasn't really necessary. "Just think", Veeken thought to herself, "A few months ago I would've worried about what would happen if Basil saw me. But not anymore..."

Tsuzuku...

Okay, from here on in, this fic's gonna be one gigantic flashback. By the way, has anyone figured out how to do tabs with the editor? The thing deletes tabs for me...
