Title: X'S AND O'S

CHAPTER THREE

IN THE EVENING…

The Titans had been alerted to criminal activity in the museum sector of Jump City. When they got the call, they had been unable to locate Ria. They had not seen her since breakfast. They had just climbed into the T-car, and Robin to his R-cycle; they left without even wasting time to look for her. Beastboy had figured Ria would catch up later.

When they got to the museum, it appeared that the bad guy(s) had already got away with their loot. The police force was apparently on their way.

"Damn it! How could we have missed it!" –Robin.

"Either that, or we're really, really early." –Beastboy.

"I guess we better start looking for the guy." –Cyborg.

Robin gritted his teeth in frustration and managed to give out some orders, "Starfire and Beastboy, search by air. Cyborg, take the car and search the city. Raven, take the east side of town. I'll take downtown. Titans—go!" When his friends had left, Robin went to go find out what was stolen and possibly who had done it. Robin walked into the museum and was shocked to find there was hardly any damage done to the building's structure itself. Hmm… there's no sign of forced entry. How could they have gotten in?

As he walked down the halls, Robin noticed that there wasn't anything in particular missing. That's strange… When he got to the basement, he spotted the big door to the museum vault. There don't seem to be any footprints or fingerprints on anything at all… He was beginning to think the call had been a false alarm. Robin's eyes narrowed as he walked towards the center of the vault, a pedestal with a single light shining on it. On the pedestal, where an object should have been, was nothing except the holster to hold something. The label on the pedestal read, "The Chi Stone". Robin frowned. "Red X…"

"Not Red X. Ria." –Raven.

"What are you doing here, Raven? You're supposed to—What do you mean?" –Robin.

"It was Ria. She did it for him. For payment." –Raven.

"What? Why!" –Robin.

"She loves him." –Raven.
