Sneak.

Sneak.

Sneak.

The Kaitou Kid slunk through the shadows like a sneaky thing towards his goal. In the wings, Nakamori-keibu, Hakuba and the Task Force waited with bated breath as they watched him, poised and ready to spring their trap.

Kid suddenly froze, twitching slightly like a dog on the scent of something really juicy. He changed direction and scurried off in another direction.

”He went for it.” Nakamori-keibu whispered in a tone of pure disbelief.

”Of course.” Hakuba clenched his fists in victory. “It’s shiny.”

”But-“

”Shh.” One of the other officers nudged them, cutting them off before they could startle their prey.

The Kid paused in front of a isolated display case, the shiny contents reflecting in the low light. He made a slight whimpering noise, shuffling an ever narrowing spiral closer to the case.

”Wait for it…” Nakamori-keibu whispered.

Kid made another whimpering noise, hands reaching up to grab his hair. “But…” He whinged, practically dancing back and forth. He scuffled forward, reaching for it, then back, circling the display before doing it again, the entire Task Force on pin needles as they waited to see if he’d take the bait.

Finally Kid froze, deliberately putting his hands to his sides. “No.” He said firmly. “It’s not on the heist list.” He turned his back on the glimmering prize and walked away, after the jewel he’d announced he was after.

”Dammit.” Hakuba muttered. “So close.” It should have been the perfect lure.

Nakamori-keibu growled in return, handing Hakuba a 500 yen coin. “What’d you use?”

”Cadbury Crème Egg.” Hakuba shrugged, putting the coin in his pocket. “The combination of chocolate and shiny foil should have been irresistible.”
