A Greatest Thieves Turnabout

Chapter one: Night at the Museum! (And no, the exhibits DO NOT come to life!)

7:30 pm, Wednesday, March third.
The demon prosecutor, also known as Miles Edgeworth was finishing up writing a report on a recent case. The day had been rather uneventful, so compared to everything else, this actually seemed exciting, more or less. All the prosecutor had left to do was just complete the report, go to the grocery store, go home, eat dinner while watching an episode of Steel Samurai, and sleep. The usual Friday afternoon routine.
Edgeworth was rather fatigued from the day so he just wanted to get things over and done with, without any major events. Of course, that wouldn't happen anytime soon. At this point, since things were quiet, too quiet, the prosecutor was expecting someone to show up sooner or later.

And, just as expected, not even ten minutes in, a knock on the door broke the silence of the afternoon. Edgeworth sighed, shutting his laptop. He'd learned to tell who exactly was at his door based off the knock, the prosecutor already had a feeling he knew what was in store.
"Come in-"
Before Edgeworth could finish his sentence, a black haired girl pranced in. Her hair was tightly tied into a high pony tail, and her scarf almost flowing in the inexistent wind with a seemingly devious energy.
Edgeworth was rather annoyed.
"We have doors for a reason, Kay. If everyone could just wander into a room whenever they want, we would have no reason to have them in the first place. Besides, I was just about to leave. Why the late visit?"

The girl, whom we now know is named Kay (or more formally, Kay Faraday, The Great Thief Yatagarasu), grinned.
"Oh please! You sound like an old man! And how is 7:30 late? That just makes you sound even more old!"

Edgeworth stood up, seeming not insulted in the slightest.
"I'll have you know that I'm only thirty four, thank you. Anyways, I'm hoping you didn't come just to ridicule me. Because if so, I'm leaving early."
He was just about to grab his briefcase when Kay quickly slammed down a post-it note on the prosecutors desk.
"Wait! Actually, can you drop me off at this location, then pick me up at nine?"

Edgeworth picked up the post-it and read it.
"Oh, this is the address to the museum. Doesn't it close at eight? What could you possibly be doing there after it closes?"
Kay took out a blindingly pink sparkly camera.
"I want to test out my new camera! The museum has a special aftershow and I thought it would be the perfect opportunity!"

The prosecutor averted his eyes from the overly flashy camera.
"And why exactly are you asking me to drive you there? We're in the city, Kay. You can just take a subway."

"Oh please! You never know what creeps could be on the subway! It'd be way easier for a familiar face to drive me there than some creep!"
Kay exclaimed, putting away her camera.

With relief, Edgeworth finally looked back in Kay's direction, now that she put away that disco ball of a camera.
"And here I was thinking that you had a complete disregard for stranger danger. I suppose I was wrong. Kudos to you."

Kay happily adjusted her gloves.
"Oh, you know I'm always right!"

The prosecutor sighed once again and shoved a few papers and folders into his briefcase, then proceeded to walk towards the door. Kay quickly blocked his path.
"Hey! Where do you think you're going?"

"Well you wanted a ride didn't you? Thankfully the museum is right across the street from the grocery store so by the time you're done with the aftershow, I'll be there to pick you up."

Kay grinned.
"That's just what I wanted to hear!"
She swung the door open and ran out, yelling....
"Last one to the car is a rotten egg!"

Edgeworth sighed for the third time this afternoon and followed Kay, locking the door behind him.

Lupin happily climbed out of the car, forgetting to shut the door behind him (as always).
"Well buddies, this is it! Since pops is too busy gathering lackeys, this is the perfect opportunity for a heist!"

The man in the passengers seat, known as Daisuke Jigen lit his cigarette.
"It's strange how he hasn't noticed the usual calling card you leave him. By now he'd have cops swarming the place. Is he trying a new tactic or something?"

Lupin shrugged as he shoved a small flashlight into his pocket.
"Well I guess he's just too tired out to notice! You know his old age and all!"

A calm voice sounded from the back seat.
"Isn't Inspector Zenigata only in his late 40's?"
Of course, that voice belonged to none other than Goemon Ishikawa. He gripped his sword.
"On another note, why did you decide to steal the Great Wave off Kanagawa specifically? Aren't there any other famous paintings you can steal?"

Lupin turned to Goemon.
"What's it to you? We're going on a streak here Goemon!"

Goemon laughed.
"A streak of what? Horribly attempting to steal priceless paintings, getting caught, breaking out, becoming wanted, and then escaping somewhere else just to repeat the cycle?"

Lupin clapped.
"Well that's not EXACTLY how I'd put it, but yup! You're catching my drift!"

Goemon just sighed, and fidgeted with his sword.

Jigen snuffed out his cigarette.
"So what's the plan again?"

Lupin snapped his fingers.
"Good thing that you reminded me! We'll disguise ourselves as security guards, get into the room where the painting is, grab it, you know, the usual!"

Jigen shrugged.
"Easy enough."

Lupin smiled his usual monkey like smile.
"Good! And with that, let's head in!"

Edgeworth stopped his car in front of the museum. There weren't as many cars as he thought there would be so he had plenty of space to stop.
"Alright, we're here. Just please don't try and steal anything. Though with that camera it's more likely you won't even be able to."

Kay put her hands on her hips.
"What's it with you and my camera anyway? Do you have a grudge against it or something?"

He shook his head.
"No, I'm just afraid that the thing is so bright, and pink, and glittery that it will cause me to go blind. It's like a disco ball times a thousand."

Kay laughed, taking out her camera and taking a picture of Edgeworth (who nearly yelped from the combined camera light and glitter).
"That's the point, genius! I can use it to blind my enemies! And now, if you excuse me, I have things to take pictures of!"
And with that, Kay, trying to imitate the prosecutor, tried to look as serious as possible as she crawled out of the back seat and swung the door shut, after which she giggled and ran inside.

Kay ran into the dimly lit lobby. There wasn't anyone there other than herself.
"Oh! Guess the tour group is up ahead!"
She skipped down the hall, when she suddenly started to hear footsteps behind her. She turned around, but no one was there.
"That's weird."
Figuring that it was just echos, Kay kept walking. But the footsteps behind her increased in speed and before she could turn around to see who was following her, something hit the girl upside the head and she immediately blacked out...
