"Well, we can't just leave Diamonds there in the rain..."
Understandably surprised by her furry friend's death, she assumed that he had died of natural causes and that there was nothing to be done, so any clue or hint of how he had died was overlooked by her.
"You know, we should come back when it isn't pouring out and bury him next to his home on the tree. What do you think, Ms. local authority? I think we can borrow steal a shovel from the park here for a minute."
As a thief that understood how easy it was to break the law, she was sure that it wasn't legal to just bury the animal there without talking to some sort of authority first. Luckily for Kay, Lynne should know what to do since she worked with the police.

"It's just... sad."
Kay knew that he wasn't her pet, that she wasn't the only one that went there to visit him and that Diamonds probably shouldn't mean much to her but for whatever reason he did.
(To live a life struggling but free or be caged and constantly looked at but safe... Did I do the right thing?)
She placed the remaining doughnuts in a plastic bag and handed it to Lynne then delicately put the dead squirrel in the box.
"We should probably get out of the rain."
"Good job, miss policewoman. Thanks to you those doughnuts are free to live another day... or more like a minute."
Kay laughed, although she did, however, think that Lynne handled the bully squirrel situation very well especially since she still had her doughnuts with her and the bully had a scared look on its face as it ran away after getting the firm warning it deserved. Hopefully, that would discourage him from being a jerk in the future.
"Time to give this place another look before heading off."
Kay went at it again, this time looking at the picknick area in the park.
"...."
A few minutes after she went back to looking for her little friend she suddenly stopped and just stood there with a sad look across her face.
A small squirrel with a pretty white fur and a stump instead of one of its paws was slumped dead under a park table. Not only was it a squirrel that had albinism but, according to what Kay had said, it also had the very rare blue eye pigmentation. The young Great Thief felt guilty for what happened since she knew that the squirrel she named Diamonds would have been a lot safer and taken care of at some zoo or somewhere else because of how rare it was had she called animal control but she didn't want to see it caged and far away from its home. Because Diamonds was small and was missing one of its front paws she did consider it the first time she saw him but after seeing how resilient and independent the little rascal was despite that Kay decided to help by bringing him some nutritious treats weekly instead.
"Miss policewoman, that's not Diamonds... Diamonds has short white fur, blue eyes, a long tail and he has a diamond shaped nose."
She heard the small rumble in the sky and thought that it sounded perfect for the standoff Lynne was having but it also made her wonder if that meant that it was going to rain soon.
"This one looks like the one that's always bullying Diamonds and taking his food by force. Don't let him anywhere near those doughnuts. Shoo him away!"
She found that sort of thief even if it was coming from an animal very dishonorable. A thief that would use brute force as his method of stealing didn't get any respect from her.
"Or better yet, slap a pair of cuffs on him. Send him to squirrel jail for a long time."
Kay laughed. As a thief, Kay usually wasn't the type to encourage an arrest even when she was just joking around which meant that she really didn't like the squirrel that was focused on Lynne's box of doughnuts.
"..."
Kay held off on introducing herself as the legendary Great Thief Yatagarasu because of the fact that Lynne was with the fuss and thieves and cops were on opposite sides of the coin even if they both worked for justice.
"Aww, I already looked all over the park... I guess I'll just have to leave the apple and sunflower seeds near Diamonds' tree."
She said a little bummed out that she couldn't give it to her little furry friend in person. Kay really liked Diamonds ever since she saw the little guy stealthily sneak up behind a dog and jumped on its head to get to a table with all sorts of treats.
"Miss Police, there's someone behind you!"
Kay warned Lynne looking at the ominous silhouette.
(Yikes! I thought that stereotype was an exaggeration. I guess there is truth behind police really loving their doughnuts. I know that Gummy does... but Gummy loves just about any food after having to live off instant noodles.)
"Good luck with that. There's no other thief like me because I'm a one of a kind Great Thief! Kyahah!"
She made a flapping gesture with her hands, as if saying she would fly away. Despite it probably not being in her best interest she wasn't afraid to tell the cop she was a thief. Kay didn't feel like Lynne was the type of law enforcer that would cause her any trouble just for hearing that.
"He's not in that tree, Diamonds lives there." She corrected, taking a small of the doughnut. "That's the first place I looked when I got here. it's odd because he's usually very excited to see me."
Kay knew enough about cuffs too know that they could be used on Diamonds but she didn't say anything because Lynne was clearly joking about her arresting an animal over some doughnuts... right? o.o
"Really? So you don't mind if I snag one or two... or a couple? As a thief, I really shouldn't, but then again... Thanks! That's nice of you to do, Miss Policewoman."
Don't mind if I do! She gave her a small bow then took one. Kay wouldn't say no to some doughnuts although she would have preferred it if they were swiss rolls.
"Nu-uhh! Diamonds is here. He lives in that tree over there."
The thief girl pointed at one of the tallest trees in the park. She clearly wasn't talking about actual diamonds although she did sort of imply it.
"Watch out though because he's known for burglaring anything he can get his hands on! Popcorn, bread, cookies, burgers, you name it. You should see him in action!"
She said with a hint of admiration in her voice. She then glanced at the doughnuts Lynne was eating hinting that they would be a nice target.
"I didn't think I'd see another five-o stuffing their face with doughnuts."
Kay was a thief she couldn't be buddy-buddy with the enemy even if she had a lot of friends that worked or were with law enforcement.
"Contact? No, nothing like that. I'm not looking for something I lost."
"I'm looking for Diamonds!"
She said with confidence and determination in her eyes.
"Hmmm..."
She leaped on top of one of the benches then stopped for a moment to observe her surroundings again, thinking that maybe there was something that she might have overlooked.
