Kaitou Kid Legendary Thief

( So I am confused too... both of you posted at nearly the same time. :X How should I react... Hmmm... let's see...) ================== It was Yssa and another girl. Amber assumed it was her sister. Amber stared down at the dead man. Adohalv? Looks like it. Either way, the man's dead so it's not important any more. "We didn't do it!" the sister replied immediately. Of course you'll say that. Amber eyed the duo carefully, still gripping onto the gun. "Ah!" Yssa suddenly added in. Her voice was shaky but clear. "It wasn't us, Neko-chan. We may have a kind-of motive, but this man wasn't the direct cause of our early loss." "Loss...?" Amber mumbled to herself before detecting motion from the entrance. Before she knew it an array of bullets came flying in from the other side. Before she could jump for shelter a few bullets hit her. One on her back near her right shoulder, one on her right arm and a few other grazed her. "Urgh!" She exclaimed in pain as she jumped behind the shoe cabinet immediately for shelter. The duo jumped for shelter as well to the other side. It was fortunate she hadn't dropped her gun out of pain, but she definitely wouldn't be able to use her right arm to shoot now. It would be luxury if she could even breathe properly. I hope it didn't damage my lungs... Amber thought as she pushed herself painfully up to the window to see what was going on. To her surprise, she found herself staring at something unimaginable. "... Wha- what is this..?!" Amber managed to blurt the words out of her mouth before slumping down behind the shoe cabinet again. "A...Ado...Adohalv...?!" Amber's voice trembled. "The-then... then... who-who's..." Amber turned her head slowly towards the dead man lying on the ground, now being turned into a beehive due to the shooting. "Wh-who...who's... AGH!" Another bullet grazed Amber's side of her head and the impact slammed her on the ground. "Is... this... what... you're... trying to.. tell me...?" Amber mumbled as she slowly pulled out her phone while still lying on the ground. She shakily pressed a button. Redial. *ring* ... *click* "Tell me... Wh-o... is... that... man...? Ghhhrruhg " Amber coughed into the phone and painfully switched it to her right hand as she pulled herself up to fire a few shots back. A few other return shots can be heard from the other side as well. It seems that the duo managed to find themselves some firearms as well. "Te-tell me!" Amber shouted into the phone again as she continued to fire back at the shooters to keep them back. There was no response from the receiver. "Argh! **** " Amber cursed as her left hand got hit as well. Her grip loosened and the gun slipped from her hand. "Shi..." Amber cursed as she frantically picked the gun back up. With a lack of return fire, the attacker may charge in any time soon. She stared at the other side hoping the duo to be safe, but she wasn't able to see them. She could only hear the return shots fired back at the attacker. Does this mean they're well? Amber looked at herself. Not necessarily huh... "Why... aren't you *cough* answering... my questions...?" Amber choked into the phone. "... Answer me!" *BOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!* As soon as she yelled into the phone, a gigantic explosion happened outside and a blinding beam of light shot through the house, smashing the windows and sending shards and ignited material at her. Everyone in the house screamed as the impact sent a gust of wind and debris at them. Amber shielded herself with her left arm as she tried to stay under cover. After the impact died down, silence ensued. "Wha-what just happened...?" Amber muttered as she tried to assess the situation. "Looks like you got sliced up really bad huh...?" A voice was suddenly heard and without her noticing, a person was suddenly standing in front of her. "Ah!" Amber choked as she frantically felt for her gun from the ground and held it up at the silhouette. Her eyes were still adjusting to the sudden blast of strong light. "Gosh... " the person muttered and without hesitation and fear, he reached out and took the gun away from Amber. "Wha-no..." Amber choked as she tried to snatch her gun back but her vision has not recovered fully and she missed. "Haha..." Amber heard the person laugh and suddenly felt herself being lifted up. Was the voice... familiar? "Wait...wait! Who are you..! Le-let go of me!" Amber tried to struggle but the stabbing pain in her shoulder prevented her from doing so. *sighs* "Don't worry..." the voice replied. "Your friends are safe and will be brought to a safe place. You will come along as well..." Her eyes are slowly adjusting to the light and the face of the person carrying her is slowly coming into view. "... Yo-you..." Amber said as she realized the identity of the man. "Well... I said I'll repay my debt someday right?" Amber heard the man say before finally blacking out. =============== (Lot's of action~ Dududu~)

(OMG ANOTHER MURDER <3 Ops... I mean DX) -------------------------- [Amber on the phone] "..." "... How interesting... How did you know my number?" Amber grinned. "..." "Heh~ Not bad~ So...? What do you want to tell me? I'm sure you didn't just call me just to tell me you found out about my number did you?" "..." "Eh...? Wait... Ho-how did you!?" "..." "Who?! Ricado!? How do you know about hi- no... what are you talking about...!?" "..." Amber's expression changed into something which can be described as 'fear' or perhaps 'shock'. Immediately, without even hanging up, she grabbed a gun from within her wardrobe and dashed out of house. --------- *pant* *pant* *pant* Amber dashed through the usual road she would walk to the base, through a nearby park and finally reached the place she was aiming for. The door was open and she dashed right in. Within the next second, Amber stopped in her tracks. Directly within her sight was two girls and in their hands was a dead man. "What... what... What have you just ..." Without hesitation, Amber raised her gun at the duo. ============ (There you go. Even more crazy stuff~ What would you do now?)

"Heya Nezumi~ good news~ I've secretly managed to connect to the police security intelligence section database~ well I've set it up so you can access too~ just ask your sis to set access into my network. I've unblocked your IP from my firewall. Well if you received my message, give me a call just for security... And one more thing... Search for Ruby Drop Replication experiment... You may be surprised... And that's all~" Amber cut the line. She stared at the document infront of her. "Case of the Ruby Drop Replication experiment..." '1995. Found 500 carat diamond at the base of mount Fairest. Extracted 3% concentration of Liquid X from the diamond. A drop of 0.04% concentration liquid X proved effective in increasing mental ability by 10%. Usage dose of above 0.1% proved to be lethal. Subject 2492 shown highest effectiveness with 0.09% concentration, increasing mental ability to 23.5%. 1998. Increased immunity to liquid X allowed lethality concentration to increase to 0.18%. Decreased lethality by injecting liquid X into ruby. Subject 2492 mental ability increase to 27.3%. Increased dosage caused subject to go berserk. Subject stole the red jewels and escaped with the 500 carat diamonds. International security forces found out about the experiment and intervened with the search. 1999. Subject found. Subject took hostage. Hostage found murdered. Subject escaped. ' "This is..." Amber was about to continue reading when a call came in. ------------- (:3 sorry for the screw up :3)

(XDDDDDDDDD Let's see... how should I continue... ) ===================== As soon as Yssa left, Amber made a call to her guardian. "... Is this Mr Ruvrik...?" "Amber...? This is rare... you don't usually call me. What's the issue?" "Haha~ Can't I call to have a chat?" "You never call unless you need something... So...? What is it?" "Hmmmmmm..... Well.... I need network access to the Information Intelligence of the Security force... I was wondering if you can help to connect..." "... Amber... I'm sure that is a joke... but the joke's a little too much-" "... What do you know~ You're starting to take things less seriously~ Well, I'm just calling to say hi~" "... I see. I'll be busy for a while so I'll contact you again once I'm done." "Sure~ Talk to you again~" *beep* The line was cut. Amber grinned. "That's so like Mr Ruvrik... I just need to wait til the line's connected... For now... I'll just..." Amber reread the information again. "Ricado... Halverson... Ricado... Halverson... This name... wait... Ado...halv... Could it be!?" ============= :P

(Don't mind if I TOTALLY screw up the entire story ) ======== "Hmmm...?" Amber realized there was a tiny dot at the end of the file which was underlined. Wait what...?" Amber tapped on the dot and strange enough, a pop up window opened. "Eh?!" Yssa shoved Amber away from the computer. "This is!?" "Ri...ca..do........ Hal... ver...son..." Amber mumbled. "...Second...? What's this...?" "... This is...?!" Yssa was very shocked with the information. There was a huge stamp at the side of the document which read "FAILED". Amber continued reading. "Details... Memory... not stable... memory trigger.. causes subject to... go berserk..." Amber was confused but continued reading. "... Cannot be... used... Must be... disposed...?" Amber looked at the stunned Yssa. "Hmmm... What do you think this is all about?" "Read this..." Yssa pointed to a section under conclusion. "Hmmm...." Amber turned back to the computer. "Let's see... Need more of... Ruby... Drop...? What's a Ruby Drop?" Amber noticed Yssa's eyebrow furrowed. "What's wrong?" "... Ruby Drop... Could it be...?" "Do you know what's that?" "No... but... I don't know if it is coincidence or not... Well... A little before Adohalv joined, a rumor was spread about the underground society possessing a 500 carat flawless diamond... well... which had interest the boss... and was what we were supposed to steal and find out last heist... Could it be that...?" "A diamond? Hmm... Ruby drop would seem more like 'Ruby' to me rather than diamonds..." Amber thought out loud. "Well it could be to confuse the gangs... Just like your login system perhaps? The true purpose may lie somewhere else..." "But if it's so... It means that Adohalv knows of the truth and provided master with the information... However, we were told different information instead...?" "That could be it." "Then... the fake diamonds that we stole the other day... Could it have been the real deal?" "... Unlikely... But... that could be the reason why Doran and Tone was told to bring back whatever they can find whether it is diamonds or not, real or not..." "Ah!" Amber jumped up from her bed. "Could it be... we were actually after the 'Ruby Drop', but the 'diamonds' that we brought back is not the jewel we were looking for... so they are doubting Adohalv... or something...?" "That is a possibility." Yssa paused. "Well, I'd need to do more research on this matter..." "Well, to be honest, I'm not so worried about Adohalv..." Amber said. "Truthfully, I'm more worried about the amount of mysterious activity... It seems like we're missing out on quite a lot of stuff." Yssa was quiet. "Well... I suppose it's a long day. Maybe you should go home and rest~" Amber pulled Yssa up before handing a bag of chocolates to her. "Enjoy them!" After seeing her to the door and waving her goodbye, Amber went back to her room and made a phone call. "... Is this Mr Ruvrik...?" ==================== (SCREW UP ATTACK No. 2! If you have no idea what's going on, you can continue with the screw up... :3)

"Deathtrap Case...?" Amber asked. "Hmmm.... sounds familiar...." Amber had never been good at remembering names of events. "Hmmm......." Amber thought for a while before pulling out a laptop from under her bed. "Let's see..." She pushed a button and the computer booted up. The operating system's name loaded on the screen. It read 'Occulto Occulus'. A loading bar appeared and after a few minutes, a circle and many strange characters appeared on the screen. "Hmm...? What is this?" Yssa asked. "It's for security purpose." Amber smiled as she put her finger on the circle and shifted it around in a strange manner. "Done." Amber said as the screen showed the logon page. "Eh..?!" Yssa exclaimed. "Just like that? What is the use of the characters then?" "Hmmm... to confuse the hackers I suppose?" Amber shrugged. "Well, even if someone set a hidden camera here and saw me logging in, they will still have no idea how to log in." "I see.... Such security..." "Well, my father works in a security company and so we have to be careful of our own actions as well..." Amber shrugged as she tapped on an application. Immediately, a program opened and displayed a list full of words. "What's this program?" Yssa asked. "This program? It's a database.... It's a list of events, heists and people in Master's organization..." "I see... and... how did you obtain these information...? "Hmmm? Ah... Haha... erm... I'll tell you but don't tell the others..." Amber stuck out her tongue. "Well... I kinda... stole it... from the intelligence..." "Eh?!" "Well... you know... I kinda... hacked into the archives... only for the fun of it... and quite easily actually... since I have... access to... quite a few places... hehe~" Amber scratched her head. "Ah but I'll share it with you, so don't report on me okay?" "Now... let's see... which heist were you talking about again?" ============== (XDDDDD)

"In here!" Amber said excitedly as she pulled Yssa into a crowded Candy Empire. "My favourite sweets shop!" Amber exclaimed with glee. "Come on! Grab whatever you like! Hehe~" The girls happily grabbed all the sweets and chocolates and snacks they liked and exited the shop with quite a few bags of them. "Shall we go to my house next?" Amber asked and Yssa agreed. On the way, the girls discussed about sweets and famous patisseries around town and within half an hour, they reached Amber's house. "I have cake in the fridge~ We can have some tea party later~" Amber said as she opened the door. She glanced around again before shutting the doors. "I'll show you to my room~" Amber smiled as she dragged Yssa up a flight of stairs and into the first room on the right. When she entered her room, she pressed a few buttons located beside the door. "Hmmm?" Yssa noticed the symbols beside the buttons. "Radio signal jammer?" "Uh huh... I've made my room sound proof, and jammed the radio signals just in case. Trackers and bugs won't work here and recording devices will be distorted." "...Who are you... You don't seem like an average school girl. Why did you bring me here?" the girl asked. "Well, I never was an average school girl... I was just accompanying you in a heist you know..." Amber shrugged. "Well, if you meant my other life... Well, I'm an adopted daughter of Will Dates, the CEO of the largest Security company in the world..." The other girl seemed a little shocked. "Well... it's not such a big matter... He has quite a number of adopted children all over the world as well and he provides them with whatever they wanted and have their life taken care of by his personal advisers which he has plenty. He wants the children to be trained so that they will take over his business someday I suppose... but I have no intention of doing that. My guardian is a little troubled because of that. But don't worry, I deal with my other life separately." "And you do know why I asked you out don't you?" Amber eyed the girl. "So you noticed too..." the girl replied. "I participated in the heist... I encountered the inspector... I spoke with Doran and Tone... I watched the news... I even spoke with the Intelligence..." Amber paused. "I'm not a girl who's easily fooled." "I suppose not..." "You're one of the Intelligence aren't you?" Amber asked. "I'm sure you know something about this..." The girl kept quiet. "Don't worry. I'm not going to be reckless and act carelessly... even though I often act like that." Amber sat down on her bed. "Well... keeping up appearances is quite tiring sometimes though." A tiny smile appeared on the girl's face. "Well..." Amber smiled back. ========= ()

"Thanks... Young miss..." the men bowed as Amber leaves the room after the meeting. The conversation with the Intelligence was not helpful in fishing out suspicious activities or information. The Intelligence were absolutely careful in revealing any secrets during the conversation. However, that alone is fishy in its own sense. How much secrets are the Intelligence hiding? Amber wonders if even the master knew of those secrets. Strange enough, even though the master trusts Amber to a very high degree, he doesn't seem to have the intention of letting her into this. In the payday crew, it seems like the Intelligence has quite a high standing. Even within the Intelligence, there are many different sections dealing with different aspects of information. I wonder if that rat knows anything...? Amber walked down the corridor and met with some crew messengers. "Ah you." Amber called out to one of them. "Ah... Young miss." The man bowed. "Is there anything you require of me?" "Do you know... Yssa... The tiny girl with short black hair..." Amber paused. "I need to look for her." "Ah... Commander Yssa...?" the man replied. "If it's her..." [Outside McDonald's] It was a weird meeting place, but it was least suspicious. Amber leaned on the glass wall as she waited for the other girl. Within a few minutes, the girl arrived. "You're fast." Amber remarked as Yssa walked over to her. The girl only smiled. Amber glanced around her surroundings subtly. "Ah! Let's have some snacks! I know a good place for sweets~" Amber said as she grabbed the girl's hands and dragged her along. =========== (Hohoho~)

"..." Amber fumbled around the sofa restlessly as everyone in the base was running all over the place. Everyone except Amber was busy with something. Amber knew her job was over, but her presence there seemed out of place. Even though this situation happens all the time, Amber was still not able to get used to it. "Young miss! Sorry to interrupt! We need to process the heist and enemy information! We would be glad if you could assist!" "Haa...." Amber sighed as she got up from the sofa. "Tiger's Lair in 5 minutes...". "Yes young miss!" the men bowed and left. Amber got up and headed to her room to retrieve some devices before heading to the meeting room. Three men are already there in the room. "Alright... What would you like to know?" Amber asked as she proceeded to shut the doors. "Miss Amber, we would like to know your account of what had happened during the heist from start to finish if possble..." One of the three men asked. "Start to finish?" Amber sighed again. "Such trouble..." "We apologize for this Miss Amber..." another man spoke. "... but we need the information to process the entire situation. We were asked to investiga-" "Raymond." the third man interrupted. The other one paused. "Hmmm? Why did you stop him?" Amber asked suspiciously. "What is it that you're trying to investigate?" "I'm sorry young miss... But we were asked to not reveal the purpose to anyone. Please kindly understand..." the man bowed. "Adolhav...?" Amber mumbled as she watched the expression on the men's faces. All of them twitched. "...I guessed as much..." "Young miss..." "Well, I suppose I shall cooperate with you then." Amber sighed. "...Thanks." Amber noticed some strange things surrounding the heist as well. It was no surprise that the intelligence team noticed it too. The fake jewels, the appearance of the Chief Inspector, Jack, and the timely appearance of the police, the lack of security, the lack of media reports, the lack of post heist activities on the police and the enemy gangs... There is definitely something wrong. There were many explanations, but Amber was afraid of the worst case scenario - a traitor in the organization. If there was one, then that person is definitely someone very influential and terrifyingly intelligent. If that really was the case, then if they are unable to fish out the traitor, the organization would crumble very soon. The intelligence must have been investigating for a while now, but they must have not found any clues. Amber has noticed some activity from their side and assumed they are suspicious of Adohalv. A little test earlier confirmed her thoughts. Let's see... Adohalv joined us after a certain famous case. He has certainly proven his loyalty to the crew a couple of times but his sudden revival is too mysterious... There are still people suspicious of him... The intelligence, for example... Well, the Intelligence suspects nearly everyone, and it wouldn't be surprising they have people investigating myself as well... However, Adohalv is not the only suspicious character... If I were to suspect... Amber glanced at the three people from the Intelligence. It would be the most dangerous if the traitor infiltrated the Intelligence. ========================================= (I'm beginning my 'screw up' attack on the story XDDDD)

Amber received the message to evacuate. Looking at her watch she realized she was the only one who hadn't escaped. "Alright~ All safe~" Amber squealed as she popped out of the window and slid down the tree. "Hmmm?" Amber froze when she landed on the first floor. A figure was waiting for her. A tiny smile surfaced on her face. "Did you already know it was a fake?" the figure asked. "I wonder?" Amber shrugged. "Was that the reason you allowed me to pass?" "What are you talking about?" Amber chuckled. "My back still hurts from that throw you know..." "Heh~ I guess I should make up for that some time huh?" the figure walked out of the shadow. It was Jack. "I thought you'd definitely get caught by the lurking inspector... It's surprising I'd see you here." Amber grinned. "Hm." Jack smirked. "Did you intend for that to happen?" "Maybe~" Amber walked slowly over to Jack who stood against the tree. "But it wouldn't be fun if you actually got caught would it?" "Oh?" Jack eyed Amber as she got closer. "So~ Which one did you leave behind this time round, Jack?" Amber asked as she stopped right beside Jack. "The bald one? Or the scruffy looking one?" Jack did nothing but smile. "If you keep leaving people behind, you'll end up all alone you know?" Amber turned and reached for Jack's cheek. "... Or... do you intend..." "This has nothing to do with you." Jack stood up, avoiding Amber's touch. Amber seemed a little shocked but backed off. "I see...." Amber sighed as Jack walked away. "Anyway.... you mentioned you'll thank me next time right? ... I hope you don't forget it~" Jack paused for a few seconds before he continued walking. "Heh~ I take that as a 'yes' then~" Amber mumbled as the man walked away. *beep* A status change. "Looks like we're to head back to headquarters for status report..." Amber shrugged. "I wonder if master would be upset with the fake diamonds... hmmm..." Amber glanced up into the sky for a few seconds before heading back to base. ============== ( :P Caught Jack? Think again~ XD) "

"How's everything?" Amber asked when she caught up with the duo. "Not looking good... " replied Doran. Tone concentrated on running. "The diamonds?" Amber asked. She eyed the briefcase that Tone was hugging. "Looks like a fake." Doran replied. "But we're still bringing it back." "I see... By the way, did you come across Jack on the way?" "We did... Hardly managed to slip past him though. Any second earlier and we'll probably still be stuck at the vault." "Oh...?" Amber mumbled to herself. 'That's strange...' "Hmmm?" Amber noticed some activity on her watch. Two people are approaching their location. "The enemy... Doran, Tone, you two turn left at the next bend." "Ok." The duo nodded and in a few seconds, they turned. Amber continued forward. "Here... they....come..." Amber slowed down significantly near another bend and once she glimpsed the hair of the enemy, she dashed into the bend. "There!" Amber heard the enemy shout as they spotted her. 'Come. Chase me...' "Stop there!" her pursuers shouted as they chased after her shadow. 'This is kinda fun~' Amber thought as she dashed through the corridors of the bank. =============== XD

Amber jumped into a large air duct in the ceiling and headed towards the vault. Looking at her watch, she noticed the change in status. "... fake...?" Amber's eyebrow furrowed. "...Seriously...?" Another status change. "Yssa sure is fast.... Hmmm... Looks like I'm aid for escape... Alright..." Amber kicked a metal grill loose and jumped back down into a room. She quickly ducked out of sight as a figure ran past the room. Adjusting her mask properly, she burst out of the room and ran in the opposite direction. The commotion attracted some attention. "Who's there!? Stop!" Amber figured it was a woman from the voice. Tara? Or someone else? A few seconds later, she heard more footsteps join in. More enemies? "Maybe... I shall... right!" Amber took a turn around the corner and jumped to reach the metal pole. With one strong swing, she threw herself upward back into the air duct using the momentum. By the time the pursuers took the turn, Amber was already out of sight. "Hmmm let's see... " Amber checked her watch again. She had cleared a path for the duo to get out and luckily, the two are currently doing so. "Another 5 more minutes to get out huh..." Amber pressed a few more buttons and some flashing dots appeared. "The next encounter location would be... there?" Amber shrugged as she started running towards her destination. ==================================== [You wanna know where my stuff came from? I'll explain that in more detail some time later XDDDD]

[Don't worry~ I'm going to make them interfere with you anyways since you're not interfering ]

"Tara... huh?" Amber asked as Yssa picked her up. "You know her?" Yssa asked. "Hmmm? What are you talking about? Didn't I show you her picture earlier this afternoon?" "Ah... I see......... wait... That's Tara!? She looks... different...from.... hmmmm...." Yssa scratched her head. "Well... either way, I've already prepared for the situation you mentioned of this afternoon so there's no problem." "Well, I didn't manage to get all the information though. I've retrieved the bug immediately after the encounter, so anything else after that is a mystery." "Don't worry. If there's a change I'll be the one to deal with it. And I doubt they would be able to change their plans too much within an hour anyway..." "That would be good then." "By the way, how's your back? Jack did you in?" "My back's fine... well it does hurt abit. And I fell myself... I got two other guys out of commission though. Managed to make Jack leave them behind..." "And you let Jack get away?" "What are you talking about? I'm a diversion right? My job is to divert people away from where they are supposed to go, not to stop them in their tracks..." Amber shrugged. "Jack's goal isn't to take me down. His goal is already clear so I won't be able to create any diversion." "..." "But don't you worry..." Amber smiled. "I've placed a tracker on him~~ So even if he was the one to escape with the jewel, we'll know where he went~ <3" "... Do you put trackers on everyone? Chief Inspector, now Jack...?" "Hmmm? I put a bug on the inspector. That ain't a tracker." "... Anyway the inspector is coming... and you're injured... I need to change the plan..." "Didn't you already plan the dog's arrival?" "I did... but I didn't plan on you getting injured!" "What are you talking about? That should always be included in the plan!" Amber frowned. "But of course... me getting injured doesn't change any of your plans anyway so it's still good." "Huh?" "I'm saying to treat me as though I'm not injured... I'm an athlete... I have experience in dealing with these minor injuries. Furthermore, If I am unable to handle my task, I'll raise it up and make sure you change it. So just continue with the original plan." Yssa sighed. "Don't forget what you said..." "I forget easily...:" Amber giggled as she jumped and grabbed the metal pole above. "Well, Jack should be reaching the vault any time soon." Amber plucked a chip from her choker and hurled it at Yssa who caught it. "This is?" "Insert it into the watch. It's the location of the tracker." Amber said before disappearing into the shadows yet again. ============================== [Go gogo! Tactician fight! ]

"Ah.... There he is~" Amber chuckled as she caught up with the rival gang. "Wiiiiz~" Amber jump and landed on Jack as she wrapped her legs around his arms to prevent him from moving and pointed a gun towards his head while grabbing onto his neck. "Jack!" His subordinates shouted when they realized what was happening. "Ah don't move around too much or I'll turn him to swiss cheese." Amber threatened. "Hngh..." Jack let out a dry laugh. "You again? I recognize you." "Oh... you do?" Amber tried to hide her excitement. 'OH MY GOODNESS~! JACK SAMA REMEMBERED ME!?' "You were the one we met last heist at the harbour aren't you?" "Maybe I am, maybe not..." 'OMG HE REMEMBERS!!!!!!!!!!' "You were kind enough to let us pass the last time, won't you let us pass again today?" Jack asked calmly. "Hmmm.... that may be a problem~" Amber shrugs. "I would love to... but you know... my mission would break if I were to do that... But..." Amber chuckles before continuing, "... I would consider if those two over there would stop following you and allow both of us have some. alone. time... you know..." Amber leaned her head onto Jack's. The two men beside Jack suddenly riled up. "You insolent-! There's no wa-" "Heh..." Jack laughed to himself and continued before his men could disapprove. "Sure why not. You two, leave us." "EH!? WHAT!? But Jack! We-" "It's alright. Just leave." he repeated. His men's faces were filled with shock. They were annoyed but even so, they did as they were told. "Ehhh....You really sent them away~" Amber said after the two men were not in sight. "Aren't you afraid that I'm just trying to trick you?" "Ho-... How would you trick me?" Jack asked. "Like for example... BANG! I kill you... or something...?" Amber giggled. "...Hngh." Jack let out a soft laugh. "Oh?" Amber grinned as he felt Jack twitch. With a sudden jolt Jack jerked off his right arm from Amber's grasp and grabbed Amber on her heel and flung her through his left shoulder as he switch his grip to her right wrist and pressed her straight onto the ground. With the weight of his body, he held her on the ground with his arm below her neck. Amber, however, made no resistance. "Did you think you could have stopped me with just that?" Jack whispered softly into her ear as he kept her on the ground. "Impressive~" Amber blushed. 'JACK SAMA JUST GRABBED MY HAND! OH MY HEART WOULD JUST STOP...' "Well,,," Jack slowly released her from his grip as he pulled himself up. "I suppose that means you let me pass then?" "Ahh ahhh... I guess I lose then~" Amber stayed on the ground as Jack turned to the direction of the vault. "Heh. I'll thank you another time then." Jack waved as he turned and proceeded towards the direction of the vault without looking back. "Ah..." Amber sighed as she laid on the cold hard floor. "What should I do...? I think... I overdid it a bit..." 'I didn't realize it just now but... my back...kinda... hurts...' =X ====================== (XDDDDDDDDDDDD)

[i didn't steal anything from you Aadikudo I just took back what I left with you~ So don't worry~]

(Let me mess you (and maybe us) up a bit ) ========================= 'It's Jack!? What the... !?' Amber hid back into the shadows. She had not expected the guy. She thought it would definitely be the Chief Inspector or his men. According to Yssa, the best scenario would be if only the Chief Inspector showed up, but if any other gangs also showed up, we will have no choice but to deal with it. However, Jack showing up was the worst possible outcome for them. Quickly she sent a message to the team announcing Jack's appearance. Not long after, a message came with the instructions, as well as the announcement of Chief Inspector's arrival. 'This is going to be a long night...' Amber thought. [Recap - 5:30PM] (Messing around with your head ) --- conversation with someone --- "So how was it?" "They're really there as you said..." "I see..." "He passed something over." "Really... Do you know what it is?" "Not yet. It looks ordinary but I'm still checking." "I see.. By the way, have you destroyed that?" "Not yet... But I retrieved it. Here." "Heh~ Did he notice?" "Nope. Not a clue. He didn't even realize my presence." "Oh..." "His partner was a lot more attentive though." "You met his partner?" "Yea... His partner reached pretty early and was surveying the entire area and has been noticing us ever since." "They noticed you?" "Not really, but something like that?" "What do you mean?" "In order to mask the abnormalities, you have to have more abnormalities right?" "Uh huh... I kinda understand. You made them notice the abnormalities... is what you're trying to say?" "Something to that aspect. But honestly, take note of his partner... I'm sure you know who that is by now. They're coming today." "Got it. I've got the rat to come up with plans for them already no problems." "Don't underestimate them though... his partner seems to be just like you... Be careful." "Just like me... huh... You mean... small?" "......... I mean like wild... " "Oh sure. That'll be a problem." "Just in case, help me with that." "Noted. Be off now." Amber nodded as the mysterious person vanished from the room. [Recap - 6:00pm] "Hey Nezumi. I've got the information." "Hmm? How is it?" the girl responded in her direction. "Positive." "Right. Then I'll modify the plan a little... But it may be trouble if more people came..." "I'll find a way to deal with it if it ever happens..." [back in time] 'I know I said that... But how should I deal with this?' Amber thought as she put on the dark blue mask and unbuttoned her jacket. Jack was the last and the most dangerous person to meet for her and her team. It was the worst possible match-up. This person is her Achilles heel. Amber knew that if this person shows up, their entire plan would go haywire, or even possibly fail! 'But wait! I'm a diversion right? So it doesn't really matter?! Since all I have to do is to divert their attention!' Amber calmed down for a second. 'Wait... that means I will probably lead them straight to the police!? No wait... I can't... shit! What do I do!?' Amber fidgeted. 'Shit!' Jack noticed the motion and pointed his gun towards the ceiling and shot. Amber dodged it by a hair's length and started running down the metal pole. She removed her cap and tied it into her jacket which she tied around her neck, revealing her white ribbon and leotard. "Some of you go after her." Jack said. "I will head towards the vaults." With that, some of his men went after Amber. 'Gosh! Wait! This ain't happening! I'm being chased by some smelly old man and not Jack!? I'm gonna have to make them lose me...' Amber swung down from the metal pole and kicked the row of guys after they made a turn. Like dominoes, all 3 guys fell and Amber took the opportunity to steal two guns from the men before swinging out of sight. 'This worked well~' Amber giggled as she kept her stick ribbon back into her jacket. 'Two guns~ Getto~ Now to look for Jack sama~ <3' Amber swung herself back up the metal pole and ran towards the vault. ========================== (Yes. Amber's got a crush on Jack. :3)

(LOL Ribena is a drink :3 I meant the wine that the boss gave was actually Ribena in disguise. :3 But I suppose it works too XD We can have a person called Ribena. It makes sense too ) ================ "Ah... right... So I'll work as the diversion ONLY if we have been noticed?" Amber shrugs as the plan was reiterated before the heist. "And I thought this would be more fun..." "Well... think about it, if you haven't been noticed, it would be called 'raising their attention' and not 'diverting their attention' right?" "Hmm... that be true. Ah well, I guess diversion is a nicer word than bait..." "... I know that this isn't a very-" "-hah don't think too much about it Nezumi... Being bait is my specialty anyways. But just so you know, I'm doing it because Master asked me to, not because it is necessary to the operation..." "I know." "When I decide to do it, I'll get it done properly, so don't you worry. That's also why master trusts me~ Hee~ And furthermore, I get master to owe me one too~" Amber chuckles a bit before pulling out a dark blue half-mask. "I'll be using this one this time. Remember it." Amber said before keeping it back into her bag. "I'll be preparing some stuff before I go. Meet you guys at the bank in an hour's time." she continued before disappearing from the room. There was a room far down the corridors on the 3rd story of the building which people rarely pass. The boss had allocated that room for Amber. It was a room with a lot of costumes, accessories and resources which Amber collects. Out of all the costumes on the rack, Amber chose a shimmering white leotard with dark blue stockings and dark blue jacket. She proceeded to tie her hair up in two twin tails and bonded them with white ribbon. She then chose a black cap and wore it, covering the white ribbon. She walked to one end of the room and took out something resembling a choker and a watch from a drawer and put them both on. Finally, she put on a pair of plain-looking flats, a pair of dark glasses, grabbed a stick-like object and the mask before heading out of the room. There was still time, so Amber decided to head to the bank by foot. Taking some detours, she reached the bank after half an hour - fifteen minutes before meeting time. Within a distance, she spotted some headlights from a vehicle. Amber immediately jumped onto the branches of a nearby large tree and concealed herself. It was the heisters, Tone and Doran. In the opposite direction, Amber spotted Yssa in the park near Faber Garden. Amber pulled up her sleeve of her jacket and pulled out her watch. "Let's see..." she mumbled before pressing the top left button. A tiny dot appeared on the bottom left of the watch and slowly, many more dots appeared on the watch. "Waiting..." Amber continued to stare at the watch. One more dot appeared. The dots suddenly disappear and the time suddenly turned to 00:00. "Here it comes!" Amber grinned as she turned to monitor Doran and Tone spring into action. "Operation start~" She would have taken action when the operation begun, but her orders are to wait for Doran and Tone to break into the bank and disable the cameras. A few minutes later, the duo disappeared. Another change in status was reflected on her watch. "Looks like they managed to get in... Now, all I need to do is get into position..." Amber carefully and silently jumped off the tree into a nearby bush and proceeded to enter the bank through the door which Doran and Tone broke through. "Let's see... the next step..." Amber locked the door from the inside and proceeded through the bank using the route planned. With her speed, she managed to get into position within a minute. She pressed another button to signal she is in position. Approximately 15 seconds later, Doran and Tone signalled the start of the break in. The next second, Amber heard a loud hiss from somewhere deep in the bank. It must be the drill. "04:58... 2 seconds earlier than expected... not bad at all" Amber thought in her mind. "Now to complete the job within the next 10 minutes..." "Hmmm... strangely this place has high ceilings..." Amber mumbled as she balanced herself on a high metal pole 5 metres form the ground while waiting for the heisters to complete their tasks. "11:59... 12:00... three more minutes huh..." *beep* "Hmmm?" A signal came from the watch a few seconds after Amber checked. "That was fast..." Amber pulled out her watch to check the status. "Wait... ... !?" A yellow signal and a coordinate. It was a signal that there were intruders. Police? Or another gang? Amber wondered. It was Amber's job to find out. It doesn't really matter who it was though; whoever it is, it would have been trouble, but there were different ways to deal with it depending on who was the intruder. Amber rode on the metal pole towards the coordinates. Calculating from her position to the coordinates and her speed and the enemy's speed, it is likely she would encounter them within the next minute. Amber decided on the location of encounter and hid herself within the shadows. It would be unlikely that the enemy would suspect anyone to be hiding in the ceilings. A minute later, Amber noticed the sound of footsteps approaching. As Amber prepared for the encounter, the footsteps suddenly stopped. 'Are they hiding?' Amber surveyed the surroundings and spotted the shadow of the enemy around the corner. 'There.' Amber pulled out a bead from her leotard and flicked it towards the corner. The shadow jerked. 'Got their attention.' A head slowly emerged from behind the corridor. Amber took a closer look at the enemy. 'Oh no... This ain't good.' Amber thought as she pulled up her sleeve and pressed a button. ================================================================ (You can decide who it is )

(Ah... I fastforwarded the time to 10PM in my first post. :3 So I assumed the 10+ was 10+pm so I said the bank was closed... :X Ah well... I'll continue from the latest post still though :V) "Eh, Nezumi-chan~? Whatcha doin?" Amber asked as the girl hastily turned to face another direction. Amber glanced over her shoulder and noticed that she was trying to hide her sketches from a man beside. On closer inspection, Amber too, noticed he had a gun. "Ehh...." Amber shrugged as she leaned her head close to Yssa's and whispered softly. "You continue... I'll just................ Tell me when you're done." Amber then pulled out a pair of wide ring huge frame specs and put them on inconspicuously. Not making much big movement, she walked behindthe man in close proximity, with her hand brushing by him but without arousing suspicion. A tiny smile appeared on her face. "Oh you're back..." Yssa whispered as Amber quietly walked back to join her. "I've seen him before." Amber replied. "He's the Chief Investigation Officer of our previous operations and it seems like he's sniffing around this case as well... Ah... Dogs of the government... I don't really like them... What shall we do?" "... Hmmm... Ignore him. He's probably doing some investigation for some leaks he's received I suppose..." the girl replied. "Leaks like that often happen... But I've accounted for them already so its fine." "Oooh... That's good then." Amber grinned. "It wouldn't be fun if I got myself caught by those dogs~" "And... I'm done." "That's fast..." "Right. Let's get out then shall we?" "Sure~" ================ :3

"Ah..." Amber thought as Yssa gripped her hands and set them down. "Okay, Neko-chan. You've proved that you're really worthy of the diversion place in this heist." she said. Amber wasn't really interested to prove anything though. She glanced at the notebook infront of the girl as she wrote something down. Diver...sion? Ah... yea... Master mentioned something like that yea... The girl then turned to her. "What would you like to do: scan the area, and write observations on paper, or go in the bank with me and I'll sketch the interior?" Eh? Go in the bank? Haha amusing. How's she gonna go in? It's kinda closed right now right? And how is she going to sketch the interior when it's so dark inside? "You must be crazy, my little rat~ I'm not sure if the bank welcomes tourists at this hour though~" Amber shrugs as she finally picked herself up. "Weeeelllll... I could get you in and out, since the architecture doesn't look very closed but...... even if they're idiots, I doubt they'll just sit by and watch you do art you know..." "... What are you talking about?" the girl smiled. "Of course I ain't putting myself up for display..." "Oh?" Amber took some interest. "All I need... is just need a glimpse of the scenery..." the expression of the girl flooded Amber's vision. That expression was one of confidence. Ah... Does that mean she just needed to see the interior architecture and then able to draw it out? Just one visit? Isn't this interesting...? A smile surfaced on Amber's face. "Heh. Let us do some visiting shall we?" She was replied with another smile. =============== (Let's go )

"Eh....... so this is what the bank looks like?" Amber whispered as she squat on the table beside Yssa. The blue eyed girl twitched a little, perhaps out of realization, but did not seem to look too surprised with her sudden appearance. "Please do not stand on my table-" "Heh..eh... Master asked me to look for you~ So what do I have to do...... princess?" Amber jumped off the table and landed behind Yssa gracefully while caressing her black hair. "Ah. This tastes great~" Amber commented as she is shown to be sucking on a lollipop which apparently came from Yssa's pockets. "If you could ask before taking... " Yssa continued with her work, still unimpressed, while Amber started plaiting the girl's hair with the lollipop in her mouth, donning it with a blue ribbon after she finished. "Done! You're so kyuuuch~" Amber giggled as she leaned on the shoulder of the younger girl. "By the way~ I'm not really interested in stealing jewels~ but since master himself requested~ I'll work with you this time~" Amber twirled around Yssa until she laid her head on the girl's thighs. "So.....?" Amber asked gently as her hands slowly reached up for Yssa's cheeks before grabbing it. "Wat'cha have me to do eh... *hehe* ....nezumi-chan~?" =============================== :V (Nezumi = rat) (I have no idea what to do, so I'm fooling around first )

"You called, boss?" A girl appeared from the door with a lollipop in her mouth. "Eh?" Amber turned to the girl. 'Ah... that rat huh.' Amber slid back down onto the sofa. "Ah... Yssa... you're here... We're having some issues with the current operation and I may need you to provide backup to the crew who has gone for the mission... There are a few problems which I need you to tackle.. and that..." As the boss walked away to discuss the issues with the girl, Amber laid down on the sofa, ignoring the boring conversations. 'Ah ah... Master is being occupied again... Booring...' she thought to herself as she rolled off the sofa onto the cold hard floor. 'Ah.... I wish I could have some icecream or something...' The conversation was taking quite a while and it didn't take too long before Amber fell asleep on the ground. ".........ber... Am.....ber..." "...Amber!" "...Hmm...?" Amber's eyes opened and her sight met with the eyes of a man. "Miss Amber... May you please get out from below the sofa please......?" the man spoke nonchalantly as he stared straight into her eyes. "Boss is asking for you." It seemed like Amber had perfectly mastered the skill of squirming into the tiniest, tightest and most unusual crevices she is able to find even when she's asleep. "Master is asking for me!? What is it!?" She asked as she poked her head out from beneath the sofa enthusiastically. "Hahaha I can never get used to this habit of yours... By the way... this is Yssa. I'm sure you know who she is... Well, she came up with a plan earlier on and I need to ask something of you..." "Huh... Don't tell me you want me to help in this boring operation or something...?" Amber pulled her head back under the sofa. "... master... you know I never was interested in the operations or anything...." "Haha I know I know, that's why your job ain't just plain old 'take the diamonds' and leave..." "...oh...?" "You are going to play the role of diversion... Yssa has already come up with the plan and she'll be going to explain to you how... all you need to do is to follow the plan... So?" Bain took a few steps closer to Amber. "Amber, you won't reject me will you?" ".................. " Amber popped her head out of the sofa again. "......... so... what do I have to do?" ===================================== :V

"Master~!" Amber jumped on the old man without any warning. "Whoa!" The man jerked in shock as one of the men in black suits came forward to stop her. "How rude!" The black suit man grabbed Amber by her arms and tried to pry her off. "How can you behave so inappropriately with the boss!" "Oh it's Amber? haha so you came again today huh..." Bain turned to his subordinate. "It's okay, let her be. She's terribly light anyway." "Huh? Light?" Amber chuckled. "It's because I can apply my weight evenly that's why you don't feel my weight you know~ I can crush you flat if I wanted to~" "You? Crush me? Hahaha~ Sure sure. Maybe if you grow some fats and exceed 80 pounds or something..." "What are you talking about!? I AM 86 pounds! 6 more than 80 you know!" "Hahaha... Alright alright~ I feel a crushing defeat right now... Haha I can never imagine you as an 18 year old woman with you acting like this you know~" the man pat the girl with the back of his hand as the girl stuck out her tongue. "Miss Amber... I'm sorry but... " the man in black suit interrupted. "...boss is currently monitoring an operation now, so we need you to..." "The jewel heist right?" Amber sulked as she jumped off the boss' back. "Alright alright... I'll get off... By the way, how is the operation going?" Bain reached for a glass of red wine and passed it to Amber before replying. "Well, we've just sent reinforcements over. It should be fine. You don't have to worry about it." "I'm not." "Haha same as usual huh." the boss said as his smile gradually faded away. "This time, we've finally found the diamonds and we're going to obtain it." "Are you sure it's going to be so easy?" Amber shrugged as she slid down into the sofa beside. "The last time we had Carlo and Ferrot's gang intercept us didn't we? We aren't the only ones after it you know... If we're not careful, Jack might come along as well~" Amber grinned naughtily as she took a sip of the wine. "Hmm... Well, that is a problem I agree... But there is no helping it if they come too... We'll just have to-" "-What!? MASTER! This is..." Amber's eyebrow furrowed. "This... is...?" "This...... is Ribena........ right?" "..........." ======================= (I'm not in the heist too)

[At International Sports Stadium] "...and the champion goes to... Osnova High School with a total of 183.6 points!" Cheers rang through the stadium as the Osnova High School gymnast team representative went forward to receive the trophy. The school had snatched the Gold trophy consecutively for the past three years, and this time got through again with a narrow margin of 2.5 points. ---- After the Ending Ceremony of the competition --- "Stop there!!! Amber!!!" A blond hair girl, still in her competition twin-tails and shimmering silver leotard, shouted angrily at another girl who was walking out of the Sports Hall. "Hmmm...?" The girl, who was shouted at, stopped and turned around nonchalantly allowing some others, who also seem to be chasing her, catch up. "Alice... it's fine... She did it for our sake! And because of that we got-" "-For our sake? Hah... That was totally unnecessary... We could have gotten-" "-gotten the first place even without my help eh?" Amber chuckled. Alice frowned. "Help...? That was totally not in the plan! What were you thinking!? If we had not went along with it, it would be a total disaster!" "Heh. Perhaps... But think about it... It was because I trusted you to be able to keep up that I went ahead with it... You girls didn't disappoint me in the least..." Amber smirked. "Amber! You..!" "Well, because of that we made a difference of 2.5 didn't we? And because of that we didn't end up second. And thinking about it, I wouldn't have had to do that if someone hadn't slipped up in their triple somersault which she was so proud of..." "Amber that's enough." A lady in black jersey appeared through the corridors. "Alice is still recovering from the accident two weeks ago... Truthfully, what recklessness...what in the world were you thinking when you changed the sequence?" "Recklessness? I believe it to be calculated risk. Unseen circumstances always happen and if one cannot deal with it, then they are not worthy to win... Don't you agree.. Miss Garcia?" the girl smirked as she turned to walk out of the Sports Hall. "Coach! Why did you let her-" The lady shook her head, signalling for the girl to stop as she watched Amber walk out of the stadium. --------- Date : 29th February 2004 Time : 10 PM Location : Outside International Sports Stadium *brrrzzz bzzz* Amber felt vibration coming from her bag. She dug out her iphone 5S from her sports bag and a message filled with seemingly random characters appeared on her screen. Amber sighed as she pulled out another gray, pager-like looking device before forwarding the strange message to it. The gray device buzzed and the real message appears: "Listen, one of my contacts have the files to the diamonds. It's stored at one of the deposits in the bank. The only problem it is, we need to knock open every deposit boxes. To get into the bank, We can sneak into the back and smash every deposit boxes to find the files. Help on it's way. Good luck" - Bain "So the action started without me eh...?" Amber sighed as she deleted the message from her phone. "Talk about recklessness... I do hope it doesn't fail again... Or master will be soooo sad~" Amber chuckled a little before slowly skipping her way back to base. ==================================== :3
