[DISCONTINUED] Love Letter From Thief X~ Black Foxes & Scarlet Foxes

Chapter 13~ Thief Origins Part 3

Takara's POV

Years have passed ever since and we decided to make ourselves known worldwide. For years and years, we traveled all around the world in search for my great grandfather's pictures and inventions. We made mistakes here and there, but we managed to get it right over the training years...

"Scarlet Foxes, we did it again!" Ryo pumped her fist in the air and gulped down a beer.

"Ryo, you know you can't handle your alcohol..." Kohana muttered worriedly.

"Don't cha worry Koko... I'm not dwunk..." Ryo giggled and collapsed onto the couch, KO.

"She's drunk." We all sighed.

"At least we got the paintings." Atsuko smiled and uncovered the paintings.

"It's be-u-ti-ful!" Hikari clapped her hands wildly.

"Shhh.... Tired....." Ryo muttered sleepily.

"Haha, thanks everyone." I bowed.

"No prob Takara. What's your problem, is ours as well." Kohana plopped next to me and ruffled my hair.

"Kyahh! Kohana!"

"Hehe!"

"So... What's next?" Hikari asked. "I'm ready for the next mission. I'm pumped and ready to go!"

"Another painting..." I said as I started typing on the computer. "By my gramps... In this museum." I spun my laptop around so everyone can see the painting.

"Woah! Talk about professional! Your gramps is amazing!" Hikari exclaimed.

"It's beautiful!" Kohana clasped her hands together in admiration.

"He would've been so happy to hear that Kohana." I smiled in return.

"It truly is beautiful... I heard rumors that there is an unbreakable code on the back." Hikari said slowly, catching all of our attention.

"What kind of code?" Ryo, who was drunk earlier, sat up from the couch.

"Don't know, they're not making it public of course... We can probably figure it out when we steal it."

"When do you want to do that leader?" I asked.

"Hm... First we need to go to that museum and get to know the surrounding area first..." Ryo rubbed her chin for a moment. "You all up for tomorrow?"

"Sure! Why not?" Hikari shot up straight, stretching. "I can't wait!"

"How many more inventions after that Takara?" Kohana asked.

I said nothing and stared blankly at my computer screen.

"Takara?" Ryo got up and walked towards me. "Is something wrong?"

"... You girls know that we've been stealing for a while right?"

"Yeah."

"Putting these codes together... It doesn't make sense... It's as if someone else is stealing my gramps work too..."

"So you're saying that we have half of the code and they have the other half?" Kohana questioned.

"Seems like it."

"Impossible! Who is the hell is stealing his work?!" Hikari threw her hands in the air, frustrated.

"We'll never be able to crack the code if some are missing..." Atsuko muttered hopelessly.

"Maybe... Maybe not..."

"Uh oh... The leader's planning something..."

"We just gotta work faster." She smiled. "It's official! We are touring the museum tomorrow morning and stealing it the same night! I doubt the ones who are also stealing it wouldn't think of that!" Ryo exclaimed in triumph.

"Alright!" We all nodded and got ready for tomorrow.

MEANWHILE...

"So you're saying that we have half of the code and they have the other half?" Kenshi asked.

"Seems like it." Takuto replied.

"Impossible! Who is the hell is stealing his work?!" Hiro threw his hands in the air.

"We'll never be able to crack the code if some are missing..." Atsumu muttered hopelessly.

"Maybe... Maybe not..." Riki smiled evilly.

"Uh oh... The leader's planning something..."

"We just gotta work faster." He smiled. "It's official! We are touring the museum tomorrow morning and stealing it the same night! I doubt the ones who are also stealing it wouldn't think of that!" Riki exclaimed in triumph.

"Perfect! Let's do it!"

Third POV Next Night

"Are all of the cameras cut off?" Ryo asked on her transceiver.

In a black van, Takara was furiously typing on a computer. "Yes. You're on leader."

"Alright, everyone let's go!" Ryo exclaimed as she and the others raced to the museum.

"Boss, how come you couldn't help us?" Takara stared at the computer. In the corner, appeared Atsuko.

"I'm busy you know..." Atsuko said tiredly.

"Doing what? All you do is slack." Takara sighed.

"I do not... I'm getting old you know..."

"Only about ten years."

"Tch, whatever..."

"Hey, we got the painting!" Hikari exclaimed.

"Shut up! Someone will hear us!" Ryo hissed.

"Sorry, sorry!" Hikari then whispered.

"Get the car ready, we're getting outa here!" Ryo ordered.

"Roger. Don't forget the card." Kohana reminded.

"Oh yeah. Thanks. Over."

Within the museum, Ryo walked towards the now empty wall and taped a card, reading, THE SCARLET FOXES.

Minutes later, the Black Foxes arrived at the museum, unaware of another dark van already leaving the sight...

And that's how it all started! LOL. What do ya think? X3 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
