Scarlet Shadow hesitated to swear aloud or slap her hand into her own face. [i]I knew it was too... convenient.[/i] Kara had known the minute the note was left for her along with directions to the correct storage room this was undoubtedly some kind of setup. That said, it was too good of an opportunity to pass up. The diadem was mean to be on display here at the museum. Most likely whoever this mystery man was before her had either mislead her on which storage room was the correct one or the diadem wasn’t being stored here at all. At least perhaps not on this floor or in these rooms.

The thief was eyeballing the mystery man intuitively as he unveiled himself so to speak, his face and getup were totally unfamiliar to her. His actions showed him to be very a very showy and self-assure type. The thief held her position and caught her eyes dancing between him and the empty safe. [i]Most likely a lackey, this one. Not the straw-boss.[/i]

Scarlet Shadow was unsure who sent him. She had a few possible likelihood’s stewing in her mind but dismissed them within a second or two. She hesitated from shaking her head, not wanting to convey any sign of unsureness or agitation. She held her position and minded the lasers at her back. She doubted the man was quick enough to pose her any real threat in this situation but she didn’t want to trigger the alarms and send the place into lockdown out of clumsiness or cockiness. I’d she had to bolt she had the ability and the room. It was about keeping a level disposition and keeping aware even while making inquiry.

“Let’s cut to the chase,” she said, unmoving and glaring over her cowl, “who are you and where is the diadem? Maybe keep your voice down too, we aren’t exactly in a coffee shop.”
