'Why is he still walking with me? Why am I still walking with HIM?' Rachel looked slightly to her right to see George quietly walking beside her. They had walked around the park for a great deal of time now, not saying anything. Both, secretly, would look at each other once in a while. Rachel was thinking about what to say to him to make him go when she heard her name being softly said.

"Miss Rachel..."

"Oh, hey..." She said looking at him. She smiled slightly. "Don't call me Miss, I don't like it." She said looking back forward.

"Oh, forgive me. Mrs.?"

Rachel laughed. "Ha! No, just call me Rachel."

"Just Rachel, very well."

Rachel stopped walking and looked at him. "So, how come you aren't married?"

George looked at her with wide eyes, a little taken back by her question. "Well... I... I've just never had much time for women, I suppose."

Rachel nodded. "Make sense. You run your own business. Takes a lot of hours."

He looked at her clam face as she spoke to him. "Yes...it does...Why...why have you never married?" He boldly asked.

Rachel raised her head up a little to look at the clear sky. "Lots of reasons, but mostly, I just don't want to hurt myself." She looked back down at him and smiled.

An odd sudden silence fell over them and all the two could do was just stare.

"Yes, I think I understand..."

Suddenly an odd beeping noise was heard. Rachel and George looked around for a moment and then both pulled out a small cell phones.

"It's mine." Rachel laughed and George couldn't help by chuckle himself. Rachel cleared her throat and smiled. "Hello?"

"Flap your wings hard, little bird. I have a job for you and the kid."

Rachel's face fell to a frown causing George to look at her with concern. She hung the phone up before anything else could be said. She was breathing heavy now.

"Is something wrong?"

"No..." She looked away. "I have to go.."

"But..."

"It was nice talking to you." She smiled and took off, but she jerked back a little when she felt his hand on her arm. She turned quickly to look at him, surprised at how close he was. He held her arm tight, but not hard.

"When may I see you again?"

Rachel raised a brow quickly and looked confused. "What?"

"Please..."

The two looked at each other for a long moment until Rachel's arm slowly was pulled away. An odd look came to his eye. 'Please... don't leave so soon.' He thought to himself. But she backed away.

"I can't..."

Before he could reply, she had run off and was gone...and an odd pain was now in George's heart.

Jill and Sai were still sitting in the ice cream parlor. They had become lost in normal conversation, talking about hobbies and things they enjoyed doing in their free time. Jill had complete forgotten about the guilt and nervous she had been experiencing before. Maybe it was the sugar rush from the ice cream and milkshakes she had eaten throughout the day, or maybe it was something else. Whatever it was, she hadn't noticed Rachel charging toward the building until she busted through the door.

"Jill! Time to go! Tell your friend good bye and we're out of here!"

"What? Why? It's not like we have somewhere to be..." Jill raised a brow at her friend.

"Oh yes we do, come on... Our brake is over." Rachel hurried over and grabbed Jill's arm. "Come on!"

Jill frowned; she knew what Rachel was getting at, but at the same time she didn't want to leave. However she knew there would huge problems if she refused to show up for her "job". She turned and looked back at Sai. "Hey, I got to go. It's um, work related. See ya around sometime okay?"

Sai looked between the two girls very confused about the sudden turn of events. "Well, alright. It was nice hanging out with you this afternoon." He looked down at the table as Rachel hurried Jill toward the door. "Hey! Is there a phone number I can reach you at?"

Before Jill could respond, Rachel did for her. "No, there isn't. She's very busy and doesn't have time for phone calls. Sorry, but we have to go." With that the girls were out the door and soon disappeared down the sidewalk.

Sai watched quietly as they faded into the distance. Slowly he raised his hand, waving to their backs and frowned. "Bye, Jill." He stood there for a moment before he turned the opposite direction and headed slowly back to the station.

"Ah, ladies, please come in." The two girls looked at Wong as they walked into his office. He was smiling as if he had not seen them for years instead of just that morning.

"What's this all about Wong? You can't possible have another job this soon for us." Rachel barked a little.

"You'd be surprised my little bird." Wong said with his sickening smile. He then tossed a newspaper forward to Rachel.

She looked at the page he had open and began to read it. Jill looked over Rachel's shoulder to see what she was looking at. It had a large picture of a man shaking the hand of another. 'Asia comes to town'; it read in bold letters.

Jill raised a brow. 'What the hell was Wong up to?'

Rachel must have been thinking the same thing for she tossed the paper down. "So?"

"So?" Wong laughed a little."My dear girl, that is Master Asia, and he owns the world's large Diamond. And it just so happens that he is staying in the city for a few days. The National Bank is holding his diamond for him until he leaves."

Rachel raised a brow. "I see."

"Think of it as a gift for you to because you worked so hard...a simple, quiet bank job."

Jill and Rachel looked at each other and couldn't help the smile that came to their face.

"Sounds like fun."

Jill inwardly gave a sigh of relief, she was afraid that maybe Wong had heard about her little date if the police chief's son. She gave a nervous little grin and smiled at Rachel. "Well, better get on it Rachel, don't want to waste the boss's time."

Rachel gave Jill an odd look. "Since when have you been so eager to get to a job?"

Jill gave a fake laugh, trying to cover the fact she just wanted out of there. "What are you talking about Rachel? I'm always ready to run out and grab things for the boss here." She glanced back at Wong and gave him a salute. "Always a pleasure sir!" With that she turned and hurried to the door, nearly running to a mobster who was entering the room. "Oh sorry! Clumsy me! Come on Rachel, We shall be off..." Jill noticed as she exited through the door, that man she had almost run into gave her a wicked smiled. She shrugged it off though, most of the men that worked for Wong smiled like that

Rachel just shook her head and followed after her. "Uh Jill, Wait up... and remind me to limit how much sugar you get in the day."

As the girls disappeared out of the building, Wong raised a brow. He was confused at the odd display of his youngest thief. Turning his attention to the man who had just entered, he leaned back in his chair. "Yes?"

"I think I have some information you might find interesting sir."

Wong leaned forward and raised a brow slightly. "Oh really? Go on..."

Nightfall had reached the city and the hustle of the nightlife was taking affect. The National bank had been closed for three hours when a pair of odd shadows appeared on its rooftop. A large hole was cut in the bank's skylight with two pairs of ropes, tied to the flagpole, reaching into the building.

Two masked figures were slowly climbing down each rope. After a moment one figure tapped the other's shoulder and pointed to a box on a wall. The figure quickly raised a hand and a large dart was now in the camera's lens. The other figure gave thumbs up and the two continued down the ropes.

"Alright, get the security, Club."

"Right, Heart."

The two girls nodded. Heart let the rope twist around her left leg so that now she could use her hands. She took Club's rope and gave it a good swing. Club became much closer to the wall. With the next swing she was able to touch it. An odd sucking sound followed, as the tiny suction cups on her gloves and knees grabbed the wall. She began to scale the wall until she came to a large box near the back of counters. She pulled out a pair of wire cutters and began to cut the wires in front of her. The laser lights on the floor and around the vault disappeared.

Heart let her leg loosen from the rope and she did a back flip on the ground. She stood up with grace and eyed the vault. Soon Club was by her side.

"Oh man, this was easy!"

"Yes...a little too easy..."

Heart frowned and moved towards the vault. She touched it with her hand and then pulled it back quickly.

"What the?!"

Club jumped a little at the sudden shout.

"What's wrong!?"

"The vault!" Heart pushed the door open. "It's already been opened!"

"WHAT?!"

"Hello ladies..." A calm voice called to them in the shadows.

The girls took fighting stances.

A figure in dark fabric walked towards them.

The girls gasped.

"Come here often?" The Cat coolly, said.

Club made a face and shook a fist at the Cat. "Hey, back off pal, we're taking that jewel."

"Oh, I believe on situations like this, it's first come first serve." The Cat said in a smug voice. "Daring isn't it? For you two to be out on the job again, the night after the museum job you attempted to pull... hmm?"

Heart shifted the weight on her feet and placed her hands on her hips. "What about you? If I remember correctly, you were there as well."

"Touché, good point. However, I'm afraid this time, I beat you ladies to it." The Cat smiled.

"Enough small talk, hand over the diamond, Cat Boy!" Club put her hand out, as if she was expecting him to give it to her.

The Cat raised a brow. "You're kidding, right?"

Club frowned and then looked rather angry. "Of course I'm not, you jerk!" She took a step forward but felt a hand on her shoulder. Club looked back at Heart with an almost hurt look. "What?"

"Careful Club...don't you find it a little odd that he was already here, but there was no trace of it?"

Club looked at her for a moment and then looked back at the Cat. The man cocked his head to one side. Club could have sworn if he wasn't wearing a mask, he would have the most cockiest look to his face. She raised a brow and then took a step back.

"Clever girls." Cat said in an odd tone. Reaching behind him he pulled out a spray can, causing both girls to jump slightly. "Calm down ladies, just watch..." He bent down with a grace that Heart had never seen before. He shook the can a few times and then sprayed it. An unseen spray came from it but moments later three blue lasers appeared on the ground. The two girls looked shocked.

"I thought I cut the wires..."

"You did young one. Let this be a lesson to you, not all security is united together." He stood back up and bowed his head slightly to the women.

Heart raised an amused brow. "Oh." She said with a slight shiver. 'He's good...he's very good.'

"I have to admit," The Cat began to speak in a captivating tone. "You ladies do intrigue me."

Club smiled and flicked her hair a little in a playful way. "Well what can we say?"

Heart looked at her from the corner of her eyes with a small smirk on her face. "Do we indeed?"

"Indeed." Was the Cat's reply. His eyes landed on Heart and for an odd moment the two said nothing.

Club looked at back and forth at the two and then gave a frustrated sigh. "Are we gonna just stand her and look at each other or are we gonna get that diamond!?"

Heart jerked her head towards Club and then looked back at the Cat. Very quickly she called out to Club and bent down. Club ran towards Heart, who then flipped her over the blue lasers. The Cat, for a moment watched in awe but then quickly turned, and began to run.

Heart called out to Club. "Don't let him out of your sights!"

Club glanced back over her shoulder and nodded. "Right! He won't get too far!" With that she took of after The Cat.

He had gotten a fairly good head start on her, but she was determined to get the diamond he was making off with. Closing the gap between them, she smiled inwardly to herself. 'Just a little bit closer... then I can jump him.' She smirked as she could see the outline of his body only a few feet in front of her. Speeding up her pace, she leapt from the floor and landed on The Cat's back, throwing her arms around his neck. "HA! Gotcha!"

The Cat stumbled forward, trying to prevent himself from falling over. "Get off me! You little pest!" As she struggled to get her to let go, he dropped the diamond on the floor and it rolled a few feet away from them.

Club held on tight and yelled back the direction Heart was. "Hey! I could use some help! Heart!"

The Cat struggled against Club on his back. "Get off me!" He almost growled like. Club only laughed and called out for Heart once more. Club suddenly though, felt to very strong hands on her arms and was quickly flipped over.

"Ugh! That's no way to treat a lady!" She called up to him, shaking her fist as her bottom hit the ground hard.

He bowed very quickly. "Forgive me..." He turned quickly and began to run towards the diamond.

"HEART!" Club shouted.

The Cat smirked, which was hidden from the world because of his masked and reached out for the diamond, only to stop when a foot appeared where the diamond use to be. He looked slowly looked up at the white boot, then the black leg, the nicely shaped torso and then the masked face. Heart looked up at him, with the diamond safely tucked under her arm. He looked at it for a moment and then return to look at her face.

"Well now..." He said in a cheerful tone as he bowed over so slightly. "Shall we dance?"

Heart raised a brow as she smiled. "Oh I do enjoy a good dance, but first..." She tossed the diamond over the Cat's head. He watched it in shock, but gave a sigh of relief when the girl, Club caught it.

"Quickly, outside! Leave this pussy cat to me!"

The Cat looked quickly back at Heart. It was quite clear by his body language that he was amused. The two let their eyes bore into each other and then just as quick, took a battle stance.

Club saluted and hurried back towards the front, climbing the wall to get around the blue lasers and then shimmied up the rope.

"Good luck, Heart." The girl giggled and hurried to the edge of the building. She pulled out her grafting hook and shot it towards the next building. Swing over, she quickly took off running when suddenly a bright light was shone on her.

"FREEZE!"

Club stopped at once. She could not see the dark figure standing in front of the light for it shadowed him out.

"Alright! Drop the stuff and put your hands in the air."

Club paused for a moment, think she should do what she was told until she realized who the voice was. "Oh crap..." She whispered.

"You are one hell of a cocky girl!" Sai shouted at the thief.

"HA!" Club laughed and put her hand on her hip.

Sai had moved forward so that both could see each other clearly now. He had a gun pointing at her and a serious look to his face.

"I said drop the stuff."

"Oh I'm sorry, but I'm in a hurry." She said with a smile. Sai made a face that showed he was upset by her words, but Club could only smile on in a charming way

Sai looked her up and down. His eyes stopped where her chest was. His eyes went a little wide and he could not help but stare at the shapely chest in front of him. Suddenly a hand came into view and waved his attention up. He jerked his head up to look at her face, and couldn't help the blush that formed on his cheeks.

The girl gave a half smile and then cleared her throat. "Well Copper boy, we meet again." She smirked and held the diamond up for him to see. "And, since you were staring, yes, I do workout and I am in shape. However, sorry to disappoint you but the spandex adds a few inches. In all reality, I pretty flat." She spoke as it was no big deal.

Sai shook his head a bit taken back by Clubs words. "Uh, I... I wasn't looking at anything!" He held his gun up again and frowned. "Now hand over the diamond."

"I'm afraid I can't do that, it would make my boss mad at me. Now why don't you put your gun down and just pretend you never saw me. It would make things better on both of us."

"Sorry, but I can't do that, it would make my boss mad at me." He said in a mocking tone. "Just drop the jewel and I won't have to do anything drastic."

Club let out and irritated sigh and shifted the weight on her feet. "You know, if you weren't so afraid to fire that gun of yours, you could have already taken it back, prying it from my cold dead fingers." She tucked the large diamond under her arm and took a step back.

Sai blinked and gave her a strange look. "Shoot? I don't want to shoot..." His words were cut off as Club's foot planted firmly against his face. In shock he dropped his gun and stumbled back a few feet.

"I didn't want to do that Copper boy, but I have to get going." Club took off running toward the edge of the building, glancing back over her shoulder for a moment. "Try ice, it's the best thing for a black eye." With that she jumped onto the fire escape and disappeared into the night with the diamond.

Holding a hand over his right eye and nose Sai turned only to see the faint outline of the girl vanish into the dark. "That's the second time that thief has gotten away." He made a face and picked up his gun. "I'm going to be in so much trouble tomorrow."

Meanwhile, the Cat was receiving a few blows of his own. The Heart he had fought against last night wasn't as fierce as the one he was fighting against now. And quite frankly, he enjoyed it. A burning fire was building up inside both fighters as they fought one another. Both could not describe the feeling they were having as they fought the other. Kicks and punches were being given and received, and soon the two were out of breath.

'Why can't I get the upper hand on him?' Heart thought to herself.

'God! What a woman.' Cat couldn't help but think.

After a moment of silent brake, the two were fighting against each other once again. Heart jumped into the air to kick Cat, but he was able to knock her foot away. She did a back flip and went flying back into the blue lasers.

Heart gave a shout but she never touched them. She looked at the man who had stopped her right before she had touched the laser. The Cat had his arm around her waist, and the other was holding on to her arm, almost as if he was dipping her in a dance. It caused their bodies to be very close to one another. They stared at each other for a long time.

Heart could not stop the odd blush that came to her face. She bit her lip as her heart began to beat much faster. The Cat's grip was soft but firm and as much as she hated to admit it, it felt oddly good. The Cat himself had to admit, having her so close to his body, it was quite mind numbing.

Suddenly a loud alarm went off causing both to move closer into each other. Cat looked around, as did Heart.

"You're hair," Cat softly said.

Heart's short hair had brushed against the laser, causing the alarm to go off.

Heart pushed away from Cat. "Damn it!"

Both looked at each other and then turn quickly to their own escape. Cat, through a vent in the sidewalk and Heart up her rope. She raised a brow. So that's how he did it...The Cat's a copycat. She laughed and then hurried up the rope.

"Till next time."

The sun had just reached the horizon as the girls stood outside the dirty looking restaurant. The both were still in their uniforms and as they walked through the door, they removed their masks. Jill held up the diamond and smiled.

"Well Rachel, it was an interesting night, but we got it. I sure hope I didn't kick him too hard though."

Rachel raised a brow at Jill's comment. "Kicked who too hard?"

Jill bit her lip then whispered to her. "Sai, I ran into him again. He must have been out on patrol or something. I kicked him in the face to get away."

Rachel rolled her eyes slightly. "I'm sure he's fine. Just remember, don't say anything like that around the boss or there's going to be trouble."

Jill nodded as they walked over to door that led to the back room. Reaching out, Jill lightly knocked.

"Come in."

The two girls looked at each other and walked inside. Wong was sitting at his desk leaning back in his chair. "Please, close the door behind you."

Rachel grabbed the knob and pulled the door shut. "We got the diamond."

Jill smiled and held up the huge jewel. "Yeah, it was a snap. Look at the size of it."

"Very good ladies, very good. I must compliment you on not drawing police attention to yourselves this time." Wong put an odd emphasis on the word 'police.'

Carefully Jill walked over to the desk and set the diamond down on it. "Here ya go sir. Now, if you don't mind, we're really tired; can we go?" She slowly backed up to where Rachel was standing.

Wong examined the diamond for a moment before looking back at the girls. "You can go... but before you do, there was some information I received earlier that bothers me."

The room became very quiet suddenly and the air felt unsettled. It caused both girls to become nervous. They glanced at each other and then to their boss. What did he know? What was going on? It was hard to read his expression due to his sunglasses and his oddly calm attitude. Both Jill and Rachel stood frozen, not sure of what was coming next.

"Did you two have a interesting day?" Wong asked in the odd tone.

Rachel raised a brow. 'What was he up too?'

Jill looked at Rachel for a moment and then back at Wong.

He slapped his hand on his desk, causing both to jump. "I'm talking to you, GIRL!" he shouted at Jill, who looked very surprised.

"Me? Um...no... why?"

Rachel's heart began to beat a little faster.

"Really? Nothing at all happened to you?" Wong asked more calm now.

Jill was starting to get nervous. "No... I mean... no... nothing..."

"NOTHING HAPPEND?! DAMNIT YOU BITCH!!"

"WONG, YOU BASTARD!" Rachel shouted, pushing Jill back. The two glared at each other.

"I know what she did today! I know WHO she was with today!" Wong stood up shouting at Rachel.

Jill's face went pale. 'Oh god...he knows...no! He knows!' Jill began to cry. Mostly out of rage than fear.

Wong and Rachel continued to shout at each other until a loud smack sound was heard in the room. The door opened and Fist looked in and gasped. Wong was standing over Rachel, who now had a bleeding lip.

Rachel began to breathe heavy and slowly stood up. Jill was about to run at Wong, kill him for touching Rachel like that but she felt a very strong hand on her shoulder. Fist was holding Jill back, but not to harm her, to protect her.

"Get out of here now, Jill..." Rachel said in an odd cold tone.

"But..."

"Get out now!" Rachel shouted.

Jill felt herself being pulled out by Fist. "RACHEL!" Jill shouted as the door began to close. The last thing she saw before it closed was Rachel being slapped across the face. Warm tears rolled down Jill's cheeks as she cried out once more. "RACHEL!!"
