The Shade (Thieves)

[Nick]

"Patience is a virtue. I do not wish to overstep my bounds. Phantom will be here shortly, I imagine. So that was YOU I could hear. Interesting."

King stood up and smiled knowingly at the mercenary. "Before he arrives though, I wish to say your display was very EXPLOSIVE, I will admit, but I do hope that's not the sole extent of your abilities. Simply being able to destroy is a DREARILY common ability in this world.

He held one hand up and curled it, focusing his power to create a small toxic cloud...but soon it became a liquid that sloshed around, then a clear purple crystal. "Being able to CREATE...that is a fine ability indeed." King whispered.

"'Beloved leader', huh?" Phantom asked, suddenly appearing before Kit and King. "Sorry I'm late. I got side-tracked." He said mostly to his Second-in-Command, smirking.

"Alright Kitsune, you probably want to just want to take your cash and get out of here, right?" He asked the fox anthro. He reached into the pocket of the long black coat he was wearing and pulled out a wad of money. "Here ya go." He said, handing it to Kit.

[Xero]

Kit weighed it in his hand then put it in his pocket, "... If you have the next job lined up, three thousand and I'm yours..."[/color], he said softly, waiting.

[Ayla]

"I think we can handle the cops for now." Phantom said. "The Shade thanks you for your services." He joked with a fake 'proper' accent, bowing. "You're good at what you do." He said. "You'll be the first we go to if we need this kind of thing again. And you're welcome to join up with the Shade, if you so please." He promised Kit, adding the fake accent again at the end.

[Xero]

Kit just grinned and left, headed directly towards the town. His mind was set, he knew who he had to see. He made it back in record time, climbing his way up a pole, darting off to the top of a building. "Seeing" what was going on, the enterence way into the police station was clear for the most part. Thus the perks of being a merc..., Kit thought, pausing to "see" what else was around.

[Nick]

"Quite an interesting character." King remarked, smiling as he turned to Phantom. "By the way, the heist at the mansion went off without a hitch. I cleaned the entire place out."

He held out his cloak and showed off glistening gems and diamonds that were almost about to overflow from the pockets within. "They kept so much of it in one room...their main bedroom. Quite unwise indeed."

Lune saundered in behind Phantom. "Hey, people. What's tonight got in store for us? Has that wily unfaithful fox gone?" she glanced around, and failing to see Kit around, assumed his departure had happened. "Good riddance. I didn't like him. He could change sides and betray us at any moment. You're a fool to employ him, Phantom."
She glanced over to see what King was doing, and snorted derisively. "Reading? I hate to break this to yer, snakey, but this is a gang... not a reading club," she slumped down beside him in the chair he'd recently vacated. She looked at Phantom expectantly. She was bored, and nothing expelled boredom like a well executed plan to vex the police. And if it was a close shave, it was all the more thrilling.

(Just to warn you, Lune has a lack of respect or politeness to anyone other than Phantom (whom she does respect) so don't take it personally. She's just a nasty character.)

Sally peered into the Chief Inspector's office and grinned her open grin at him. "Evening, sir. Those anthros been up to any funny business yet? I feel I should get out there. I just wish we knew their plans before they did them, and we could catch them at it." she laughed.

(Ayla, could you be the Chief Inspector? He/her could be Karla's boss aswell, and her and Sally could work together.. if you like. I can be the Chief Inspector if you want.)

[Xero]

Kit dropped down, directly between two officers. "... Evening Officers... Can you please bring me to see Detective Sally Fitchberg?"[/color], he said as he straitened up.

One of the officers had dropped his cup, merely from surprise, the hot coffee spilling out onto Kit's feet.

"How does an Anthro know about her..?", the female asked.

Kit tilted his head, grinning. "Let's just say, I am a personal friend."[/color], was all he said, lifting his foot to shake off the coffee.

[Ayla]

(( Okay Rose, that's fine with me. ))

"I'm not a fool, Lune." Phantom said, turning to look at the other anthro. "He's good at what he does. And he's an anthro like us." He was a bit prejudiced against 'normal' people. "And King can read if he wants to." He added.

-----

"Come in, Fitchberg." The Chief, Scott Barkley, said. "Those anthros have robbed the McCoy mansion." He said. "Cooper pursued their leader, but he escaped." He added. "I've been meaning to speak to you, Fitchberg. Find Cooper and bring her here, I have an assignment that I think will help us to finally catch those anthros." He said.

[Nick]

"You honor me with your words as always. It's a pity that there is not more acceptance of our kind, though. I continue to get...looks. Of course..." He smiled in a slightly wicked fashion. "It could be because I'm a snake, heh-heh."

[Xero]

The officers brought Kit to Sally's office, and he took a seat, waiting. One of his tails slowly unraveled and picked up a small picture. Sighing softly, he put it back, unable to see it naturally.

Kit crossed his legs and just waited, listening to the office buzz.

"Of course, officer. I hope Karla isn't too fustrated at losing the boss. I'll go find her," Sally grinned, and turned to go back to her office to get some things before she went off to get Karla. She almost leapt out of her skin at seeing the three-tailed fox anthro sitting calmly in her office. She almost blurted out something rude, but refrained herself at the last minute. Not all anthros were lawbreakers. And this one seemed pretty calm and comfortable considering he was in a police station. He was just a normal civilian.
"Er, hello. Have you come to see me?" she asked politely, raising an eyebrow.

Lune rolled her eyes at the sparkling array of diamonds. "Some people are so over the top when it comes to heirlooms and jewels. Not to mention careless. I mean, if King could get it without being caught, it must have been laid out on their bed, ready for taking," she grinned tauntingly at King. She turned to Phantom again. "Ah, who cares about the fox now. Let's get out there. I heard a shop on the high street was selling anti-anthro products," here she looked disgusted, "I say we should go smash them up. Give the others shops a warning that we don't tolerate racism against anthros." she looked at Phantom, tilting her head. She wasn't sure if the rumour she'd heard was true; it hadn't come from a reliable source, it was just a passing comment. But she felt like smashing up a shop.

[Ayla]

Phantom turned to look at Lune. "As much as I love smashing stuff up..." He started. "We just snatched a bunch of stuff from a mansion. It's too risky to go out again tonight." He said. Normally he wouldn't have been quite so worried, but between the stolen mansion jewels and what Kit did, the police would be looking for them even more that night.

-----

Karla was just arriving at the station, cursing under her breath about Phantom and the Shade. "I'll catch that ringtail thief..." She muttered angrily. Angry and obsessed. Just like always.

[earlyrose]

Lune looked malicious at this. "But I haven't done anything interesting..." she grumbled, and then added, "And if I went on my own they wouldn't catch me, Phantom. They're blundering idiots masqeurading as a police-force. Not one of them stand a chance of matching me. You know how fast I can go. Please. Then I won't bug you for a job for a week. Promise," she grinned, baring her teeth. Phantom the value of her promises- they were a load of rubbish. But the thing about the police was true. She'd never even been close to being caught before. She raised a hopeful eyebrow at Phantom.

[Nick]

King just raised an eyebrow, then took out a small cup and poured some green tea mix in, heading to the "kitchen" area. "Would you all care for some green tea? It soothes the nerves."
