At the Museum

The famous Cat's eye gem was being exhibited in America at the Midtown museum. It was a huge one of a kind ruby, worth an estimated 20 million dollars. So naturally the museum increased security, certain they could keep away would be thieves. That's what they thought at least.

Catwoman, or Selina Kyle somersaulted onto the roof of the museum. There was no way she could pass up a score like this!

If she crossed one of those beams of light alarms would be blaring and security doors would latch down. Well, she wasn't some amature, she could easily avoid them. She began sleekly and acrobatically began passing through the laser field, jumping over some, crawling under others. What she didn't know was another cat themed thief was directly above her.
