Let's write!

This was going to be easy, thought Christina.  Get past the guards, figure out the combination to the vault, get the jewels.  The double- decker bus was parked outside,  whenever she was ready. See, Lady Christina had stealing down to an art form by now. But something threw her off- a rather loud BOOM! coming from the entrance to the bank. 

 

As Christina turned to see what had just happened, a rather casual voice floated by her ear. "That should give you about fifteen minutes. " 

Christina noticed the voice belonged to a teenage girl, dressed in leather and hair tied in a ponytail. " How did you do that?" she asked the newcomer. 

 

"A few well-timed Nitro-9 explosives. Sent those big blokes running. " Ponytail-girl replied. "I'm Ace, by the way.  And you're..Catwoman?" 

 

" Lady Christina de Souza" she answered, "And I suppose I should thank you. You made this a bit easier. " 

 

Ace nodded. " Travelled for a while with a friend who was like you. " 

 

"In what way?"

 

"Cat burglar. And posh." 

 

Christina shrugged, unsure if that was meant to be a compliment.

" 25, 16!" Ace called, trying to not be extremely loud. 

 

Christina rapidly spun the combination lock.  "That's the one!" She said, grabbing the great blue jewel as the vault opened. 

 

However, the partners in crime couldn't help figuring they'd forgotten something. Once Christina had touched the jewel, a sea of blue lights came on from either side of the wall and a klaxon blared. 

 

"Gordon Bennet!" Ace exclaimed, "Run, Catwoman!"
