Once you get to a double double-drabble, it's time to just call it 'short.'
This is the last one, folks. I mean it this time, I have absolutely nothing left in this direction.

"Everybody keep an eye out for the Kid! It's almost time!"
Nakamori stopped pacing for a moment to stare at a small white cat sitting at the top of the museum steps. The cat stared placidly back, and the Inspector shook himself.
"I must really be getting paranoid. Kid's good with disguises, but he's not that good."
There was a thud from nearby as the larger of two cats fell off a fence, which Nakamori ignored. The inspector scanned the sky, the main doors the only remaining way into the sealed museum.
"He'll have to come in this way, and we'll be ready for him!"
Evidently bored, the cat yawned, stretched, and sauntered toward the line of police barring the doorway.
"Shoo! Go away! You're not supposed to be here!"
"Hey! Stop playing with that cat and get back to work! Kid'll be here any moment!"
"Y-yes sir!"
As the hapless officer wilted at Nakamori's angry shout, the cat slipped between his boots and into the museum. The frequency of the Inspector's pacing increased as he checked his watch and scowled. "Kid's never this late…" On a Kid heist, if nothing had happened it just meant you hadn't hit the "yet."
Nakamori peered into the gallery as he passed the door, only to find the target's display case obscured by something white. Shoving his way through the officers, Nakamori discovered the cat had decided the top of the case was the perfect place to curl up for a nap.
"Get off of there, you flea-bitten sack of hairballs!" The cat leapt off just in time to dodge the Inspector's swipe and gave him a thoroughly offended look. Nakamori ignored it in favor of staring in horror at the empty pedestal where the jewel had been.
"KID!"
In the confusion that followed, Nakamori yelling at various officers to scour the building and surrounding area, no one paid attention to the cat stalking toward the exit, batting at the wall on the way. They most certainly did pay attention to the explosion from above and the white glider that sailed off over the city. As Nakamori shook his fist at the retreating shape, yelling things that were better not repeated, no one noticed that the cat seemed to laugh as it strolled away into an alley. Or the glint as the light reflected off of something in the fur by its throat.
And that's the end of this storyline. Kaito got the jewel; whether it works, doesn't work, gets given to Akako so she'll change them back, or something else entirely?Whatever you prefer. (grins)
