When I sing and dance, I'm free

Chapter 12: Partners in Crime

Adrien

I always did loved the night time, the beautiful stars that illuminated the night sky, the cool refreshing air, the freedom that always came along with it, night time was my time. In the day I'm nothing more then your ordinary Adrien Agreste, but at night, that's when the cat comes out to play. I loved being Chat Noir the freedom, the excitement, the thrill, everything! There wasn't a single thing that I didn't love about being Chat Noir. Chat Noir had many cool talents that Adrien Agreste wasn't fully allowed to explore such as my love for street running, my cat like stealth, and my incredible skills in entering places undetected. All these skills and more ties in perfectly with Chat Noir's greatest skill... thievery. Yes, Chat Noir is the greatest thief in all of Paris. The "Black Cat", as I am known, has stolen countless jewels and riches and has never failed even once in braking, entering, stealing or punning. As I was running through the rooftop at 12pm something very interesting caught my eye. A perfectly good bank was just sitting there practically begging for my attention, and how could I possibly resist. But this wasn't just any ordinary bank no, this bank belonged to the person I loved to rob from the most...... Gabriel Agreste. Gabriel Agreste was Paris' most famous banker and my favorite target. Gabriel Agreste had more money then all the people in Paris combined, he was so loaded that I could rob him a hundred times and he'd still have more then half of his cash left. The guy was loaded plain and simple, but after tonight he'll have a few thousand dollars less. I had already planned on robbing from this bank in particular and already had the layout pretty well memorized so the moment my feat touched the roof of the bank I instantly got to work. There was a small air vent that connected throughout the entire bank in every room, except for the vault of course. As I squeezed myself throughout the air vent I found the room that was right outside of the vault. I undid the vent and quietly placed it aside, I then took out my baton and extended it long enough to place it on top of the now open vent and tied a long piece of rope in the middle. I slid down on the rope and held the rope tightly placing a halt to my disend just inches from the ground. As I finally stood on solid ground my mind immediately went into overdrive knowing that I had roughly a few minutes before the guard would be checking up on the vault. I pulled my baton back down using the rope to maneuver it and once I had it within my grasp once more I immediately went to work. I placed my ear against the vault and immediately began turning the knob to the three numbers that would open the door to my, "withdrawal".

Chat Noir: 16..... 54...... 23

CLICK!!

My favorite sound, the sound of me moments away from my success. I pried the gigantic metal door open and man, my jaw almost dropped to the floor. The entire room was filled with cash, EVERYWHERE. I took out the small bag that was in my pocket and man was it a depressing sight. The bag itself was ok, I guess, it could hold about 10 grand which was ok but there had to have been at least 100 grand in this room, if not more. Sadly though, if the bag were to be any bigger I wouldn't be able to fit it through the ventilation. I immediately went to work greedily grabbing as much cash as I hands could grab and stuffing my bag till it could carry no more. As I made my exit I turned around to have one final look at the room that contained only a small fraction of my father fortune. A fortune that he gave so much, if not all, his attention. Heh, he gave way more attention to his, "business" than he ever gave to his own son.

Chat Noir: Things didn't had to be like this...... father.
Security Guard: Freeze!!

I almost jumped out of my skin, from the sudden scare but luckily didn't show it. I can't believe I got distracted and it was because I go distracted that I got caught. I slowly turned around to see the security guard and the moment he saw my face our roles were instantly reversed with him being the one scared out of his mind.
