Reina's frustration was growing with the second, the room was empty and the window broken. She kicked the wall as hard as she could, but regretted it as now her foot was throbbing. But ignoring the pain she swung around and stormed away from the door. Hearing the crash somewhere below she dashed forward, sweeping through the hallways swiftly. flashlight swinging back and forth, searching for the woman.

Cetus pursed her lips. She knew she was far away from the gem, but how exactly far? The Commander than that requested the steal was expecting the stone in their hand within the next hour. If she was late or failed, well, she wagged a finger at her thoughts not to go there. Strolling along the empty glass containers where fossils once stood, Cetus searched about for a sign, anything, in regards to a map. Of course, her attempts came to no avail.
She bumbled with a grump as she tried to push the fact she was being tracked by the fuzz to the back of her mind. Well, that would have been great if a random security guard had not suddenly clasped a hand on her turned about back.
"Ma'am, I'd like you to come with me please." he said, the muscles of his arm sternly tight on her shoulder. She caught his face in her periphery; he was extremely good looking and well aged. Unfortunately, he was of the common good. Well, let's not go on to say how Cetus held her strongest again the man to knock him out and take his clothes. As he remained an unconscious pile of ouchie stuffed behind one of the fossil cases, she was a standing member of secure force. Her uniform made her appear lopsided because it was made for a man, but maybe she'd get away with it. Maybe.
With that, she strolled out of the room and down a hall with the baton held steadfast in her grip.

Ed came barreling out of the stairwell and into the rather barren fossil room. He took a moment to both catch his breath and look around. Wouldn't be the first robber to hide, then dash off once the police ran by in hot pursuit. His sharp eyes caught a bare foot sticking out from behind a display. Cautiously creeping closer, Ed realized he knew the slumped figure. "Robert? Hey, Robert, wake up!" Robert groaned and came to. "Eddy? Oh man, for a girl, that lady hits hard," Robert moaned. Then, "Um, Eddy? Where are my pants?"

Reina followed up behind Ed and swiftly turned around when she saw the stripped officer, trying to allow him to maintain some dignity. This criminal was mocking them! And now she was likely running around in a stolen uniform, just wonderful. She bemoaned her bad luck in getting assigned to the museum on this particular night. Now she would have to be suspicious of every guard she spotted. " Ed, ill let you handle this.... predicament im of no use here, so im going to pursue the suspect." she said and walked out swiftly. This would be easier if she could figure out what the woman was after....

Cetus paused mid-trek as she stood in the shadow of a rather skinny looking Pokemon. Literally, the thing was all bones.
"Hmm," Cetus said and twisted her lips about. "It's called a 'Carracosta.'"
It was a terrible looking thing, like a mutated Blastoise. Even if it was a Water type, she'd never use it. It was too ugly even without its notable features. The bare white of the bones reflected in her thoughts and eyes for a few more moments before she shook her head and remembered she was on a mission . . . and had forty minutes left.
"Alright, gem . . . gem . . . " she muttered and fished out a paper from the uniform's pocket. Apparently, the fella was carrying a map on hand. "Ah." She wasn't far. She only had to descend one more floor. Oh Arceus, this night was working out too well.

Ed made a snap decision. He didn't particularly care what the thief was after. It had gone far enough. Looking around, he spotted a tell-tale red box. "Gimme a sec, Rob." Standing, he walked over and firmly pulled the fire alarm. Bells began ringing, and all around the museum, bullet-proof glass cages would be closing over anything that could be damaged by water. Statues, bones, those sorts of things would be left alone, but portraits would be pulled into special fire-proof cubbyholes, protected from the non-existent fire and the water that would soon pour from the sprinklers. Dioramas would seal air-tight. Small, portable objects that might get lost in the chaos would be locked tight under glass. That thief would be having a much harder time now. Not to mention officers and firemen would be pouring in soon. Let's see her get out of that!

Cetus pursed her lips as the alarm sounded. Her lips grew more taut as the sprinklers suddenly sparked on and drizzled a heavy mist of artificial rain upon her, drenching her to the core. Her disdain never ceased as her fallow hair fell sopping and the once baggy officer clothes clung ungracefully to her teeny form.
"Well, crap." she muttered. "They're actually thinking for a change."
Cetus grabbed the legs of her pants and dragged way above her ankles and dashed to the nearest staircase, breaking the tension of the thin puddle with each step. Though travel would be easier without the uniform, she wasn't going to openly give it up because it made travel difficult. Considering she was a disguise artist, the uniform meant more to her than the gem. At least she was getting one prize out of this, eh?
Halfway down the stairs, a tender sparkle of blue glimmered a few lengths away.
"Bingo."
But with the alarm system encasing everything tighter than a virgin's chastity belt, she was unsure how to actually penetrate the damn thing. Maybe? It was time to bring in the jaws of life.
"Menkar!" she shouted and the Tentacruel swirled out and landed with a wet slap to the floor. The rain upon him woke up some hidden surprise of glee and he began to dance around, humming a familiar tune of singing and rain.
"Menkar, nom nom!" she called as she raced down the stairs, pointing to the enclosed box.
The Tentacruel, dumb as they come, truthfully believed the box was a large sugar cube with a blueberry center. He scuttled up to the glass encased box as hard as he could and clamped onto it. He worked his scissor like jaw with great content, taking in a taste he only imagined.
"Warble~"

Reina stumbled as the alarm suddenly sounded, she hadn't been expecting that. She groaned inwardly as the water from the sprinklers soaked her uniform, making her uniform cling to her skin uncomfortably. She had to admit, it was a brilliant idea, but it did nothing to improve her mood. Ignoring the cold water that was still pouring down she quickened her step. She had to find her before more law enforcement swarmed the place, with her disguise she would easily be able to slip out unnoticed. She skidded around a corner, slipping a bit on the water and almost collided with the wall but managed to regain control in time. "ah hah!" she shouted as a 'guard' with a particularly ill-fitting uniform came into sight, but with the suspect also came a large Tentacruel, who seemed to be trying to gnaw one of the cases open. Heedless, she rushed forward, she knew she stood little chance against someone with a Pokemon, but shed be damned if she didn't try!

Robert was unimpressed. "Great, thanks Ed. Now in addition to being naked, and I'm also wet. This day couldn't get any better," Rob griped. "Ah, quit your bellyaching. I'll buy you a drink," Ed told his co-worker. Pulling his radio out, and shielding it from the water spraying down, Ed sent out an alert. "Attention all units. There is a female thief loose in the museum, wearing a male officer's uniform. Be on the lookout for a brunette female in a poorly fitting officer's uniform." He must be getting old. He should have made that call a while ago.

Cetus heard the harsh splashes to the floor and turned about to see the young officer from before making a charging beeline towards her Tentacruel. She arched her eyes and readied her wrist.
"Oh no, you don't . . . " she murmured as she shut one eye and applied pressure to the button. With some rather imprecise timing, the grunt shot her wrist grappling hook to a nearby pillar where it wrapped around than pulled it taut to create a trip thread.
Menkar was still gnawing lovely on the glass case, having somewhat broken through the first layer of bulletproof glass. The case was completely covered in jellyfish drool (however appeasing that was certainly depended on the individual) and smelled of acid. It dripped off the sides gingerly and bubbled as thick lakes in the water.

"Hey, Rob, let's get on down to the first floor. I'm sure the firefighters will have a blanket for you when you get here," Ed said, encouraging the other to get up and head for the stairs.
As they headed down the stairs, Robert looked down at himself and ruefully commented "y'know, I'm glad I went for dark blue boxers today. White would have gotten a little embarrassing with all the rain in here."
Ed shook his head, but was saved from having to actually reply to that inane comment when he heard something on the other side of the door. Popping it open, he spotted the escaped thief, in a soggy and over-sized uniform, and a Tentacruel gnawing on a display box. Robert apparently spotted the thief too.
"Hey! You there! Yeah, the chick in my clothes! I want my uniform back!" Ed barked a laugh at the ridiculousness of the scene. Robert, clad in nothing but his soaked blue boxers, was stalking across the atrium, bare feet splashing in the gathering water, finger pointed accusingly at the thief, who resembled a drowned rat in her borrowed clothes.

"Watch yourself stud, I'll take you out again if you get any clo-"A thick, blunt object suddenly whizzed with a low slope through the air and meet sideways with the Galactic Grunt's noggin. Everything than went black. The bludgeon clattered into the acidic water and Cetus, once disguise artist extraordinaire, fell the opposite way into an open area of wan murk.
Cornelius, new officer to the justice sect, ran up to the crime scene and interjected a finger just as his senior had done."Stop, thief!" he cried, freckled face with orange curls bouncing about as if they fizzled like fire. "In the name of-"
He blinked his steel eyes a few times at the scene, took a dip in the awkwardness, and scratched the back of his head. "Oh- uh- i-is she alright? I never really knew the use for those uh, batons, so I thought we had to throw it at assailants . . . Aha . . . "
Seeing his owner black out cold as an arctic sea caused him to hesitate from his chewing, scuttle over to her, and poke a tentacle at her. Than another poke, than another. Suddenly, he grappled up her body and Cetus's body hanged loosely as he raised in to the heavens and cried (with mumbled praying) in holy revelation.
Heaven's light could not restrain the hellfire that suddenly burst up within him afterward. He dropped Cetus with a heavy thud and began to coil several tentacles into a fists as his eyes flared with anger. Who did it?!

Reina saw the trip thread, and tried to skid to a stop, but due to the water that coated the floor she skid right over the line and fell forward, landing face-first on the floor. Stunned, she just laid there for a moment before finally pushing herself back to her feet. She groaned audibly at the following events, this was too much. " Cornelius, what the hell?" she purposely avoided looking at rob for fear of laughing. She sighed and shook her head, well at least the supect was under control for now. She backed up several steps as the Tentacruel took a battle stance, she had no Pokemon so she would have to find a way to do this without one. " this...is not good..."

"Clothes!" Robert immediately started to strip his uniform off the thief.
Ed looked around and snatched a fire extinguisher from the wall. "Hey! Tentacruel!" Ed fired a short burst of foam at he pokemon. "Back off! Stand down! Down boy! Attt!" Ed scolded firmly. Sometimes pokemon got confused when their trainers weren't around, and occasionally they would listen to other people. He just hoped this one didn't get too violent. None of them had pokemon, and none of them were the kind of whackos who fought with fighting types for fun, so this was going to get messy if it turned into a battle.
