Let the show begin indeed.
Inwardly Kaito- no, KID tonight- was slightly disappointed. He’d gotten too good perhaps at predicting the movements of the police, and while the heist was going well, all the illusions in place and the crowd below screaming his name, the thief couldn’t help but feel like something was missing. He’d have to put more effort into the next heist maybe, to make it more interesting. Just because the targeted gem was safely tucked away inside his pants pocket, the police were properly baffled and lagging behind due to his tricks, and the crowd was entertained, didn’t mean KID would count this as a success.
He’d gotten a safe distance away, the police sounds fading as they went the other direction, and was left to his own thoughts for a moment. Now was about the time he’d find a safe place to change before fully slipping away, but KID had gotten slightly off course and wasn’t near his designated place. He wasn’t overly concerned, though. That is, he wasn’t until he spotted a pair of black-clad figures just ahead of him.
The teen magician froze for only a split second before starting to sprint away. It seemed it wasn’t a moment too soon either, as a gunshot rang out just to his right. KID didn’t stop to hear whether they were giving chase; if he had to bet, the answer was yes.
Just ahead was a fairly tall building, and KID could spot an easy way in. Hoping he’d be able to lose his pursuers- as well as hoping the blueprints of this particular building was similar to ones he already knew- he slipped inside and headed for the roof. If he could only get some height, perhaps he’d stand a chance. It didn’t always work, but it was better than simply outrunning on foot. The thief was in good shape, but not that good.
That was… odd.
Hakuba moved to the edge of the roof, looking out at the street below and the approaching commotion. Was that KID just now? Why were they coming this way?
The detective leaned over the railing edge, peering out to see if he could get a good look at whatever was happening. The police had gone off in the other direction, as could be expected, but what…? And why?
Hakuba had no idea that the very roof that Kaitou was headed for was the very same that he stood on.
