Hyperdimension: A Thief's Tale

Chapter 3: A daring plan

3rd person pov
Weeks have passed and arrests where being made every week. They all had one thing in common, a mysterious card was left behind.

At leanbox basilicom

Blanc: Ok, just who the hell is this douchebag?
Neptune: no matter how quick we get to the scene, that guy's one step ahead of us
Noire: And he's starting to make our shares decline.
Blanc: This guy can really be annoying.
Vert: I think i might have an idea to how we can catch him off gaurd.
Neptune: You have some sort of plan so we can get him?
Vert: yes, if all of you remember, all of his victims up until now where criminals themselves. Maybe he has a sense of justice and is trying to protect gamindustri by himself.
Noire: You mean like a vigilante?
Vert: yes, maybe if we create a fake atrocity, he will step in to do something.
Blanc: he'll try to step in and act a hero.

In order to complete this mission they needed to hire an old enemy of theirs. Linda, who was... Well an underling to the anti goddess movement. (Right?)

Linda's pov

I was called to do a job for the goddesses. We were enemies at first, but now they need me for something important.

Linda: So, what do you need me here for?
Vert: Do you know about the mysterious cards left behind at crime scenes?
Linda: Everyone on the internet has been talking about a mysterious thief lately.
Vert: we need you as bait to lure that thief here.

They needed me to help them lure in the thief who has been eluding them for a while

Linda: But what if he actually captures me? What will he do to me?
Noire: Don't worry. Once that fly is in our web, there is no escape. We'll make sure he doesn't catch you.

They where going to pay me for acting only one time. I needed some cash, so i didn't really have a choice here.

Linda: Please... Just promise me you won't let him get me.
Neptune: Pinky promise.

Vert whispered into the underling's ear to tell her how the plan was going to go down. After hearing the plan, she left the basilicom and did as she was told.

Linda: (in head) well... Here goes nothing.

The underling then gave a menacing chuckle and started talking to herself.

Linda: Foolish woman. She may have given me an invitation to a party, but i'll give her an invatation to oblivion.

Meanwhile in the shadows, there was a shadowy figure listening to her every word.

???: Interesting... The time has come for me to make my voice heard. I'll just wait for the party tonight...

With that, the figure vanished and waited patiently for the upcoming party...
