Chapter Text
Today was the worse day ever.
Keith had been carefully planning this heist for days now. Everything was already in order. Everything was checked. He sure as hell wasn't expecting anyone else to know about the undocumented jewel.
But life never did go as planned for him did it.
He should should start planning ahead for any kind of situation.
Keith made his way into the large showing room, it was a scenario he never even considered happening. Who was he trying to kid; people back stab people all the time. Keith glared at the shadowed figure and grimaced. There goes his entire fucking operation damnit!
Someone else was already there removing the glass case carefully from the gem’s exhibit, quickly taking it and putting in a fake for the switch. Keith's eyes scanned over the man's figure, eyes drifting to places they shouldn't.
Focus idiot, he's stealing your catch.
The mystery thief looked up at him and waved, giving him the cockiest grin ever. Waving the gem around mockingly at Keith; he stuck out his tongue.
Furious, Keith brandished his knife, he wasn’t actually planning on hurting him, but he can sure as hell threaten the guy.
“Hand it over and I’ll let you walk out of here without a scratch” He growled lowly, voice deepening.
“I’m taking it,” he said, and snatched up the jewel without a second glance towards Keith.
“Oh no you fucking don’t” he replied, dashing towards the mystery man. He wasn’t going to let this random, lanky ass, stranger get away with his prize. Before he could grab him however, he jumped out the window.
Keith knew that escape from a window was a classic escape route, and he himself had used it a couple of times but he usually took out a rope or his grappling hook before jumping out a window from the fucking 14th floor. He made his way over to the window half expecting to see the idiot’s corpse splattered on the ground. He was not expecting to see him casually hanging out on the window next to him. If Keith didn't know better he would've thought he was just floating there.
“I’m guessing you’re the one who hacked the security system, huh? When I was coming in my little bird friend said that the systems were already down” the guy said with interest, tone slightly smug.
Keith hated his guts.
He very being was just irritating Keith.
“Maybe we could meet up after, plan a heist together, and maybe you could even join our crew. We could use a well rounded man like you on our crew.” The happy tone made his skin hot with anger. Fuck. This. Guy.
His enthusiasm was met with a very salty reply.
“I don’t think there’s gonna be an ‘after’ you are going to stay far the fuck away from me and if you hit one of my heists again, I will kill you.” Keith replied glaring and pointing his knife towards the man.
He just brushed Keith off and grinned “I think you’ll find I’m a very persistent, plus, if you don’t that’ll just make us rivals and I don't think either of us really want that” he winked and tossed him a small object, a slip of paper wrapped around it.
“See ya around, bello”
Some how the masked guy was able to scamper his way up to the roof like a fucking ninja and disappeared from his sight.
What kind of hell spawn was he.
There goes his entire fucking plan. Fuck, what was he going to do now?
Keith gripped the small object, and punched the wall. Tonight has simply left him prickling with anger an confusion. Nothing in the room would be as valuable as that gem but he wasn't about to leave empty handed either. Lifting his head, he summed up the estimated worth of the other objects on display. He grabbed a pair of swords from there display box. One was covered in gold leaf and multiple gems, it's was slightly out of its sheath revealing the dark black blade. The other was a sleek black with various rubies leading up its sheath, its blade a dark red. He decided he'd keep that one from himself and would sell the other.
It won’t get him as much money, but it’ll have to do.
