EXT. ART GALLERY - LATE AFTERNOON
THE MANAGER OF AN ART MUSEUM GREETS ILLIANNE WHO IS LOOKING AT SILVER BRACELET ON DISPLAY.
[Art Museum Manager]
Fascinating isn't it? Our records say that it dates back to the first century. One of the many jewelry pieces invented by the Celts, a priest in fact, who believed that it was a sign from the gods of good fortune to come.
[Illianne]
Unfortunately, it became a sign of misfortune. Days after the creation of the bracelet there were attacks continuously from the Romans, Slavs, and Huns. After the Roman conquest Celtic culture was further trampled by Germanic tribes during the Migration Period of roughly 300 to 600 A.C. For good measure they were also attacked by the proto-Vikings and their brutality was made legendary giving them their start to fame.
[Art Museum Manager]
Wow, you seem to know a lot.
[Illianne]
I learned from the best.
[Art Museum Manager]
Who might that be?
[Illianne]
Raphael Hawke.
THE ART MUSEUM MANAGER DEVELOPS A SHOCKED EXPRESSION.
[Art Museum Manager]
No wonder you have such detailed information.
[Illianne]
I had never seen it in person. What's worse no one would like to give Hawke the credit that he deserved.
[Art Museum Manager]
Miss, we don't want any trouble.
[Illianne]
There won't be any as long as I leave with what he's owed.
ILLIANNE PRESSES A BUTTON ON HER PHONE THAT SCRAMBLES THE SECURITY SYSTEMS IN THE BUILDING. ILLIANNE THEN PUNCHES A HOLE IN THE GLASS DISPLAY, SNATCHES THE BRACELET, AND PUTS IT INTO HER SACHEL. ILLIANNE THEN JUMPS OUT OF THE WINDOW OF ART GALLEY AND BEGINS FLYING AWAY WITH HER WINGSUIT.
[Illianne]
Easy work.
A COP CAR IN THE AREA BEGINS TO CHASE ILLIANNE.
[Illianne]
Looks like I've got company.
THE PASSENGER IN THE COP CAR LEANS OUT OF THE CAR AND ATTEMPTS TO CAPTURE ILLIANNE USING THE ELECTRIC BOLO. ILLIANNE EVADES THE BOLO AND THROWS A TEAR GAS CANNISTER INTO THE WINDSHIELD OF THE COP CAR CAUSING THEM TO CRASH. ILLIANNE THEN CONTINUES TO FLY AWAY.

EXT. WAREHOUSE HIDEOUT - NIGHT
THE GROUP OF MEN THAT WERE ATTEMPTING TO ROB THE JEWELRY TRUCK ALL SIT AROUND A TABLE.
[Vincent]
Does anyone have any clue just who the hell that guy was the other night?
[Armin]
It's impossible to know Vincent. What we do know is that she's struck multiple times. By far her biggest mistake will be trying to cut our lunch.
[Hendrick]
All of that was to steal one necklace. This bust would have made us beyond rich.
[Vincent]
It could be safe to assume that she's going to be looking to check out the gala at that country club. Lucky for us, we have enough time to check it out too.
