dramadramaduck | Creating A Monster Part 2

[Well now, this was something. Kaitou had actually screwed up and now there was an alarm being rung as he almost casually runs out of the estate "Tsubomi" was seen in previously, a box under his arm. He seems like he's home free as the guards hadn't arrived yet but one little voice cuts into the camera.]

Wait! Wait that's my family treasure, give it back!

[A little kid no more than ten ran up to him and tried to yank back the case but Kaitou shrugged him off easily.]

Let go! [Vaulting the gate, he landed and turned to the kid.] Treasures must never be hidden or lost.

[Several blocks away, Kaitou slowed down on a bridge and figuring that the police officers were far enough away, opened the box as he pulled out a gem encrusted gold and platinum gun. He seemed satisfied with his theft until he noticed something underneath. Digging into the box again, he pulled out what appeared to be a stack of letters seconds before a bullet impacted, sending the box, gun and all of its contents flying right into the river, scattering paper everywhere. Kaitou's face darkened as he ducked a few more shots and escaped into another world.]

Well, that was stupid.

I'm more annoyed at myself than I am at the bungled theft.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Look, I can't pretend I'm a treasure hunter or thief or whatever, but I can tell you that 9 times out of 10, the papers are ALWAYS the most valuable thing.

[...That might be the closest thing Jin has ever come to arguing with him outright.]

Yeah they were. Are now at least. I made the mistake of letting a treasure be lost.

So what are you going to do about it?

What can I do? The treasure is lost. [Kinda grumpy about that. And like hell he was going to apologize.]

[And Jin stops, seems to rethink things, and decides maybe he's going to avoid pushing things one way or another.]

Well...you'll figure something out.

Look I'm not good at consequences. Normally I'd just do this and be done with it.

Well, just figure out what you have to.

Fine fine, we'll do this your way.

[It takes a minute before Jin can actually say something that he doesn't think will ruin things too much.]

Bitterness, betrayal, things like that? They grow fast. The longer you let it go on, the worse it's gonna be.

Sometimes it defines us. I haven't given up on my own memories though.

Remember: nothing's ever perfect. That's what's bad and good about life.

[Guess who's predictably not very happy after seeing this video? Yeah.]

Was that really necessary?

[Great, this got to Yuri. He was going to just simply grab and run but now it was complicated.]

It was what I was planning after all. Though... kind of frustrated it didn't go off as planned.

Yes, I'm sure things must be very difficult for you right now.

They are okay? You have no idea of what the magnitude of a treasure I just lost.

Is that really all you can think about right now? What you lost?

It is. Because...

[Damn he hated it when he had to admit this.] Because in the process I not only lost one but two treasures.

Two?

Those papers weren't just regular papers. They were a treasure, hidden away from the child by his father. Letters from his estranged mother.

[...Oh, Kaitou.]

I see. So were they your goal as well from the start?

Not even.

I just discovered them, and put several pieces together seconds before I lost the whole lot.

Thanks to me, the poor boy will never know that his mother cares about him.

That's... [She's not really sure what to say to that, honestly.] That really is a shame. However, it's not like you knew. You didn't even have time to really process the information.

Not with police officers shooting at me. Who's been giving the police guns lately? I thought there was a strict gun control recently. Must be a Den-O world thing.

[That's really not the point Kaitou but he was dealing with accidentally screwing over a boy and his mom's relationship. Good job.]
