 Kyrin had only slept for two hours before rolling over, awake. Opening her eyes, she found herself face to face with a sleeping Izzy. Ky would have been surprised, but as this happend every night, she was used to it by now. Pulling the blankets up over Izzy, Kyrin rolled out of bed and sitting up, put her feet gently on the floor.
Standing she searched in the dark for her brush, as her hand passed the familiar shape she lifted it and pulled it quickly through her hair. Kyrin never really got much sleep, she was far too restless. Looking down at her outfit, she realized that she hadn't change her clothes from earlier. Sighing she lifted her butterfly trechcoat off of the chair by the bedroom door.
"Sleep well, Izzy." Kyrin said softly as she looked towards her bed. She smiled as she saw Osiris curled in the nook of Izzy's arm, "Sleep well, Osiris." She added, leaving the room.
Walking quietly down the hallways, she made her way down the marble staircase and out the double doors. Walking lightly through the magled court yard, Kyrin noticed someone pass by the gates on a bike. Curiosity got the best of her as she followed the girl to the business district. Careful to keep hidden, Ky watched the girl with mild interest.

Fiore turned into an alley just next to the bank and began picking at two bricks until they fell out, one about half of her height, and another as high up as she could reach. Once they were out, Fiore held on to the space at the top and put her foot in the bottom one. She pushed herself off the wall, doing one small flip to stay in the air, and landed on the top of the door.
The first thing she had to do was take out the laser by the door. She turned her head to make sure that no one was near enough in her sight to get her down, and she blended in pretty well, except for her bright silver hair of course. She hung upsidown from the sign ontop of the door with her feet and used the pliers to take out a couple of wires that seemed to connect the laser onto the door with the lit sign on top of the bank. This made it slightly difficult, as she realized that if she took out the laser, then she would also take out the sign, which would be rather noticable. Fiore's grey eyebrows pushed down a bit on her eyes and she jumped down from the sign without touching the wires. She'd have to get past the laser by dodging....or a mirror...
She faced the door again and pulled her pin out from her hair and began to pick the lock at the bottom of the door, being careful not to push on it too much. The lock opened in a few seconds and she pulled it open, pulling a small mirror from her back pocket of her black cargo pants. She put it against the moving laser so that it deflected at the burglar alarm, taking it out easily, Then aiming it at the cameras in all of the room...she knew that security would notice this soon...so she would have to hurry...

Kyrin toyed with the idea of interupting the girl's mission, but as she thought on it, she wanted to see how this would end. If the girl was any good, Ky might want to attempt to recruit her; they didn't really have anyone as skilled in breaking in places as this girl appeared to be, so it may be good to have her.
Ky sat on the stairs of the bank, off to the side. She decided she would wait outside as to not jepordize the girl's mission.

Fiore tucked the mirror back into her pocket and grabbed onto the ceiling which conveniently had hanging lights. Fiore couldn't touch the floor without setting of the sensors so she swung from light to light until she was able to stand on one of the desks that accountants normally worked behind. She climbed over the top of the soundblocking windows and stayed on top of the desk, knowing that there were probably more sensors on the floor.
Keeping her serious look, Fiore shifted towards an employees door which seemed to need a security code. She pulled out a dirty paintbrush and held it into her hand, grabbing onto another one of the suspended lights from the ceiling. She hung upsidown with her legs wrapped around the light fixture and moved the paintbrush along the various buttons of the security lock. This allowed her to see the previous finger prints and pressed the buttons ultimately letting her into the hallway.
Normally, staff-only hallways didn't have as tight security as the entrance, and this bank was no different. There were various visible beams shooting in all different directions accross the hallway. Fiore noticed that there were a number of different doors as well. A few of them had sign on them, and two didn't. One of those must be the main safe...the other must be the security room...but which one?
A bead of sweat rolled off of Fiore's cheek but she held out her hand to catch it. Nothing was going to stop her...this was one of her father's rivals. She would beat it. Her face returned to it's abnormal sternness and prepared herself with her empty hands behind her. She did a number of various acrobatics to get past the security, mostly consisting of back hand springs, and a jump off of a wall occasionaly.
Fiore just bared made it past the last laser, and almost backed into it with her landing, but regained her balance just before an accident. She faced the two doors. Fiore thought for a minute of which one and looked at the two doorknobs. She noticed one of them seemed to be covered in some sort of grease. Fiore let the corner of her mouth curl up as she turned the doorknob to the adjacent entry.
Fiore smiled quickly faded when she saw the safe infront of her. She was happy that she had picked the correct door...but there didn't seem to be anything in her way of getting there...How can this be?
Fiore looked around the room before stepping in. The walls were white, as well as the floor and the ceiling...when she notice something right there in front of her...the white tile right by the entrance seemed to be a brighter white then the rest of them.
Fiore gasped slighty realizing that this was almost identicle to the security that her dad was going to present in the meeting in Canada....These frauds...
Fiore's thick, grey eyebrows fell over her orange eyes as she filled with rage...how did they know?...Fiore had to make it to the metal front of the safe, or she would not be able to complete her mission. She couldn't stay on the floor for more than a second, or the security alarm would go of. She prepared herself one last time and jumped landing on the floor with her hands, then pushed herself off into a tight flip onto the wall, then pushing herself back onto the floor with her feet, pushing herself to the opposite wall until she had finally made it to the metal infront of the safe. Fiore's breathing was heavy, not just from exhaust, but from rage...
She looked at the safe...the metal door being three times her own size. She pulled out her pliers from her pocket and reached into her other pocket...when she realized she had forgotten her drill. She would have to figure out the code from scratch. Fiore put her ear against the door of the safe and twisted the dial...
After ten minutes of pure concentration, the door of the safe swung open to reveal gold and bills lining the walls of the huge safe. She smiled and walked inside. On the back of the door was the safe number along with the company that had built it on a gold plate. Fiore used her pliers to pull of the plate...Having no interest in the riches behind her, Fiore's eyes glistened with pride as she tucked the plate into her right pocket. She readjusted her goggles when she heard the security alarm go off.
The security must have realized the lack of security cameras. Without any hesitation, Fiore ran out of the safe and through the motion-sensored hallway to the door to come face to face with two rather large men in sunglasses. She jumped up and pushed off one of their heads to fly right behind them, running through the hallway. The security followed right behind her but Fiore kept running, her hair flying behind her. She went through the employees hallway, through the main room and to the glass double-door entrance. She looked behind her to see that the security men were just coming into the room as she was exiting so she swung up in a flip on top of the lit sign of the band. The men came out through the door and looked around trying to figure out where she had gone, and split up going down two directions of the street. Once the men were out of her sight, Fiore flipped down to land back onto her feet. She stood up straight and pulled the plate out of her pocket and her goggles from her eyes.
Her face of seriousness slowly faded with relief and calmness. Her mission was complete.

 Kyrin grinned widely as she watched the girl appear back out at the street, it seemed she had completed her mission. Kyrin shrunk back against the wall as one of the men in sunglasses bolted past her. After he was gone Ky looked over at the girl and her prize.
Kyrin wandered causally over to her and plucked the item out of Fiore's grasp. Looking down at it she wondered why the girl would want such a seemingly worthless item. Looking at the girl through dark blue bangs, Kyrin smiled at her.

Fiore's eyes widened when she looked back into her empty hands and up at the tall girl who had taken them from her.
"Hey! Give that back!"
She recognized the girl at once, since she had often watched her and Izzy from a tree in the old mansion down the street from her house.
"Hey you're---"
Fiore stopped herself before she said anything more. She didn't think anyone wants to hear that they were being watched. But she knew exactly who this girl was.

 Back at the 'abandoned' mansion, Izzy woke with a start, bleary-eyed, she looked beside her and realized that Kyrin was no longer sleeping there. Terrified of the darkness and the strange sounds of the night, Izzy whimpered, not comforted by Osiris who sleep next to her, then pulled out her cell phone, pressing speed dial 1, Kyrin's number. As the phone rang, Izzy felt her fear intensify with every passing second.

Ky grinned at Fiore; she liked the way this conversation was going. “Kyrin,” She said, finishing Fiore’s sentence. Looking down at the item in her hand again, she waved it around, “What do you want this for? Its not even worth-.” She stopped short as her cell phone rang. The happy melody emitted from her coat pocket. Pulling it out she saw Izzy’s smiling face appear on the screen. I wonder what she wants..., Kyrin thought, a little worried. “Hello?” She asked, flipping the phone open.

 Izzy could be heard, starting to sniffle, "Ky? Ky, I'm scared. It's dark and creepy and Felix locked her door!" She ended the statement with a wail. She had walked out of Kyrin's room and tried Felix's room/lab to see whether she would be allowed in there, only to find that she couldnt open the door. "Where are you Ky? Can I come?" Izzy whined, wiping the tears from her eyes.

"Oh, Izzy." She cooed softly, using a voice that most would use to a small child, "You'll be okay. I'm in the business district, but just turn on some lights and play with Osiris in the ballroom, okay? I'll be home soon." Turning back to Fiore, she was slightly shocked to realize that she had never seen the girl before, "Wait, who are you?"

Fiore, who was trying to reach up to get her plate back suddenly stopped, and crossed her rather skinny arms against her flat chest...
"You're not going to turn me in, are you?"
Fiore shifted nervously on the spot that she was standing and looked up at Kyrin's crystal blue eyes and scratched her head when she thought about Izzy calling Kyrin. Fiore knew Izzy. Not only from watching her in the mansion, but from school as well, and couldn't help but admire how happy and care-free she was all the time, and had made Izzy her model.
Fiore spoke in a rather quiet voice now, looking down at the sidewalk pavement rather shyly, "...Is Izzy all right?"

Lily free of the Ladies presence sits up and pulls in her breath,"Who the hell is acting!!"She yells knowing they won't hear her. Getting up and seeing her family peeking out the door she motions for them to go back and not to bother her.
Her father steps to her and checks her as her mother guards the kids wearily while checking for any other intruders. "Lily, those were people from the mafia! They'll keep true to their word and what happened to all we taught you?"
Lily shrugs off her father's touch,"Look father I know my trade and what I do means no pleasantries if this family wants to eat."
"You don't have to work as hard. I was able to get a job though it's not much they offered to give me food and little coin as payment."Her father backs off and hugs his wife while bidding the other children to go inside.
Lily keeps her back to them,"Then you don't need me. So, I can leave and live for myself."
Lily's words hurt her parents but they knew their daughter was hurting and refusing to let them in,"Then know you'll always have a home and you have our blessing to go."They say together then pulling out a pendant on a tarnished chain Lily's mother puts it around her daughter's neck and kisses her goodbye. Holding in her tears as Lily hates it when she cries over her.
Lily steps away,"Bye."tucking the pendant inside her barely whole shirt leaves following the path back to the city. That's when she hears an old man's voice and sees the one she stole from earlier blocking her way foward and a companion of his blocking the back to her old home.
"Well look what the dog dragged in."The old man coos with a sly smile.
"What's your problem old man? Want a fight?"Lily challenges equally hating those like herself.
"You could have asked for some money from me instead of stealing it."The old man replies showing his hands palm up before taking of his garments and showing himself to be a priest.
Taken a back Lily stands there shocked then glares at him,"What the church offerings not pulling in enough that you jack other people of their chance to get money!?"She exclaims truly peeved.
The old priest shakes his head again showing his hands palm up,"No, what money is made is collected and distributed to charity or work places that hire ones like your father."
Lily stood straight now suspious of the old coot,"Look old man, get out of my way and I'll ignore your comment. Or, did you want a reward for your generousity?"Lily shoots back going up to the man who in turn wards off the man behind her who Lily had foolishly forgotten about.
"Now, now don't be harsh. I want to help you and all the other people who are not enjoying fortune."The priest replies calmly looking up at the tall youth before him.
"I want nothing to do with you old man."and with that said Lily passes the old coot and heads out of the alleyway to climb up to the rooftops and walk on.
The priest shakes his head as his companion comes to stand beside him. "She's a tough one but that will get her killed especially with her dealings in the mafia. How much money would that get us if we turned her in to the authorities, Yetta?"

Kyrin pocketed Fiore's prize and looked the girl over. She raised her eyebrow at Fiore, "Of all the people to ask that question, you choose me?"
Watching Fiore's nervousness, Kyrin's eyes narrowed, "Who are you?" And in an icy tone she added, "And how do you know my Izzy?" Izzy was like a daughter to Kyrin and she was extremely protective of her.
