Brooklyn, NY, USA
Kat's POV
My great-uncle Eddie had just handed out bowls of his famous brew and everyone quickly shut up and dug in.
We had been talking about Visily's latest target, the Chateau Noir. And comparing newspaper theories of whether Paul Cézanne had actually painted the painting, or whether his suddenly discovered twin brother, Adam, did. History points to Paul, but according to diary entries recently discovered, it is apparent that his unknown twin Adam had. Of course this information was released soon after the reports of Paul's painting being stolen mysteriously, and a white card with printed letters Visily Romani had been left behind.
I personally know it was Adam, as I had the fortunate pleasure of working with Visily Romani. I remembered briefly when he first showed me as a child how to cool a hot chocolate with snow, and smiled. I knew that he was posing as Visily as soon as I received that package on the doorstep, its contents now hanging in Hale's mum's room, where I spent most of my time. (don't get the wrong idea with me staying there all the time, it's just, uhh where I stay when I'm not at Uncle Eddie's. Pshh its only innocent I swear!)
I exchanged a small look with Hale and smiled briefly at the whole family. Scraping my spoon against the bottom of the bowl and bringing close to my mouth, I sniffed and blew, before bringing the brew to my mouth.
It was delicious, and though it might sound weird, it tasted like family. I knew I was lucky as a thief to have this many relatives, and shuddered at the thought of losing any one of my nutcase family and friends.
A knock at the door interrupted my musings, as I stole a glance at my great Uncle Eddie.
"Expecting someone Uncle Eddie?" I asked; it wasn't normal for Uncle Eddie to have visitors that knocked. Normally they just walked in like me and Hale did.
Eddie ignored me and stood up gruffly.
"I'll go see who it is, you kids stay here quietly" he said grumbling.
He then strode across the room and down the dimly lit hallway with all of us staring after him. I shrugged and continued eating. Still listening in though, I heard him approach the door and could imagine him glaring as he grabbed the doorhandle.
Hearing the hinges give slightly, Uncle Eddie didn't even greet the visitor just rushing in and grumbling a curt "Who's there and whattaya want?"
There was a slight pause from the person waiting outside before a small voice asked "Excuse me, may I speak to Kat please?"
I nearly dropped my spoon in shock, turning to stare at the entrance of the house through the walls. However rare it was to have knocking visitors at Uncle Eddie's door wasn't as rare as having someone ask for me. (besides Arturo Taccone but I'd rather not mention that)
"I'm sorry, no none here goes by that name." Uncle Eddie cut her off curtly.
Standing up, I heard her falter, and paused to cock my head to hear her reply.
"Ahh, I'm sorry. It's just that someone dropped their ID and the address was here…" the girl's voice trailed off.
Incredulous, my eyes widened as I knew it wasn't possible for someone to have my ID. Being a thief and all, I had ID's, but not my own personal ID. I quickly checked my pockets for the ID's that I had on me. It was quite like the time I had met Nick, but on different sides of the game. My hands explored my pockets but met nothing but the ID's of a girl that I had pinched from earlier.
The girl's voice rang out again "But never mind I just must have read the address wrong. Thank-you very much for your help then sir, I'll see you later!"
Hearing that she was about to leave, I ran down the hallway quickly, my hand tightening on the bunch of fake ID's in my hand. It was too late though as I reached Uncle Eddie, slowing down to a walk. Slamming the door he turned around slowly, eyes flashing.
I took a step back as he started to yell at me.
"What have you done Kat!" he shouted, his bony hand flung out pointing outside. I flinched slightly but he still continued.
"That was no normal girl, Kat, and she was after you! What have you done to make one of them," His voice dropped down to a whisper as he came closer to me, cornering me against the hat stand behind, "Stay away from her, Kat. I don't ever want this happening again"
A/N: Uhh yeah, they still didn't really meet this time, but I assure you that they will! I just wanna add a little bit more drama to add to the storyline. And yeah, then you'll see your different side of Cammie (cause I didn't get to show anything in her perspective this time). But in the next chapter you WILL see Cammie and Kat together, even if it will be a super-duper-extra-long chapter. IT WILL HAPPEN. Oh, and thanks for reading! (Review if you didn't understand anything or just wanted to say something nice ;])
