Chapter: Late at night - the big cat

"Hold him!", It sounded through the icy winter night, which was illuminated by countless rays of light reaching in all directions
has been. Howling sirens, a thousand steps in the snow and screeching tires broke the usual silence in the
German city Domino City. The silhouette of a sixteen to eighteen year old boy jumped like a cat, gracefully and with
extraordinary speed over the roofs, the long coat of the slender figure was blowing in the gentle wind: cat's eye.
"Where has he gone? We mustn't let him escape again!" Shouted the police officer, who was shivering from the cold, but briefly
stood on the stairs of the Domino Museum about to freak out. For exactly two weeks the twenty-six year old man introduced
Special team, for exactly two weeks he and his team had been chasing a single but very clever thief. ... And each
Night. He would have liked to have had a good rest because the tiredness almost killed him. Six days agohe had to go to the hospital due to a fainting spell; poor sleep was the cause. Even his boss advised
him to take a few days off, but the officer refused. Only when this tricky "cat", the Domino City
and the environment was held in suspense, was caught, he would follow the advice of his boss.

He got into his patrol car and called a colleague using a radio. “Is the trap ready?” “Yes, it can
the man on the other end of the line answered. "Good. "Today they would be called the cat, like the young thief
was finally catching it and revealing its identity. The owner of the museum came running towards the police officer in a panic.
"So do something, Mr. Kinneas! Under no circumstances should the cat get this valuable painting!" "We do what we do
can. Give us some time. ", the policeman reassured him." The painting is the most expensive piece in this museum! This damn it
Cat! ", the museum owner cursed and sat down on the stairs, cursing her.Oliver Kinneas took a card out of his jacket pocket. The cat's announcement. It showed a red cat's head
one eye. Next to it was written in computer script:

Tomorrow, January 3rd, 2003 at exactly midnight
I will appear in the museum of Domino City
and the painting "Old Castle in Spring"
steal from the Haintz collection.
Cat's Eye

That was the cat's way: he announced exactly when and where he would strike again next time. Still it was
Kinneas and his men still failed to get hold of him. It almost seemed as if the cat wanted to get over them
Making fun of the police, exposing them. Kinneas had underestimated the cat in the beginning, he thought it was a meaningless one,
little cuddly kitten. But he was a real tiger. It was noticeable, however, that he only ever painted paintings from the
Haintz collection stole. Perhaps this would help the cat's conviction soon. Silently, but with a littleWith a smile on his face, Kinneas put the card back in the pocket of his thick winter jacket and waited.

The cat kept jumping from one roof to the other. Under his arm was the stolen painting "Altes Schloss im
Spring ". The young thief stopped. His brown, soft hair was blowing slightly in the wind. His shining, sapphire blue
Eyes were on the museum far behind him. The police didn't seem to be chasing him anymore. Today they had
gave up very early. The cat breathed a sigh of relief, because this theft was also successfully over. He
looked at the valuable item from the local museum. It was wonderful. But that was not surprising, because "Altes Schloss im
Spring came from the world's most talented painter: Haintz.
Many thieves, sects, VIPs, companies and other people were very interested in these pictures by the artist, and
some were afraid of anything to get one of these paintings. Just like cat's eye.He absolutely had to
Getting Haintz paintings, it was extremely important to him. In contrast to the other interested parties, however, he wanted the pictures
not for himself, but needed her for a reason the police would never understand.

A few meters further on, eleven policemen were hiding behind houses or on roofs. You were sure the cat
would come by here and so set a trap for him. Waited armed with pistols in case of emergency
you. “Get ready!” Whispered one, “He's coming!” And really: with another wonderful sentence she landed
Cat on the street. Now the trap snapped shut: the art thief stepped into an almost invisible loop on the floor, the
immediately laced himself around his slender ankle and, before he could even realize what was happening here, after a few
Seconds hanging upside down in the air, causing the Haintz painting to fall down.He hardly saw anything through the darkness
And that was good too, because the police would not recognize him any more than he did and therefore would not see his face,
otherwise it would immediately become apparent who Cat's Eye really is. And that couldn't happen! Suddenly
a bright light lit up, which blinded the cat violently. No! It shot through his head, you can let me
not see!

"Boss? We have the cat. Our trap worked." It was the radio in Kinneas' patrol car.
"Excellent work.", Kinneas praised, "I'll be there shortly. Four minutes and I'll be there." He was about to
hang up and start the engine, he added: "Be very careful. The cat has been washed up. He
could easily escape you if you are not careful. "The policeman drove off. Finally, after such hard work his had
Special team able to take hold of the cat. He was very proud of his people.

A policeman walked slowly towards the cat."Now there is no more escape, cat," he said with a sneer. Equal
was the moment of truth, the young art thief's secret was about to be revealed. The policeman was delighted
a child, raised his flashlight in the cat's face and saw ...
... a card with a red cat's head.

"Huh? What's that supposed to be?" Asked the policeman, surprised. The cat didn't just use her special cards as a
Announcements, they also had other functions like hiding identity. Now the thief cleverly tossed the card
the rope he's hanging on This was cut through and he landed unharmed with a roller on the floor. "He has
freed! ", shouted the police officer, who had let go of the flashlight in shock, and reached for his weapon. The cat
jumped up to him and kicked the pistol out of his hand. "I can't see anything anymore!", He feared, "Why do you switch yours
Flashlights not one !? "Now rays of light were burning from everywhere, everyone blinded one another."But not
so many! Ahh! I go nuts!! "The engine of a car could be heard." That must be the boss! ", guessed one from the
Special force. Oliver Kinneas got out. "Where's the cat?" "That ... we don't know. I think he's through us again
the rags gone. ", one of his men admitted. Kinneas looked at the rope, the lower end of which with the loop on the
Floor lay. Next to it was a card from the master thief:

Thank you very much for the painting "Altes Schloss im
Spring ". I'll cherish it. We
see us on January 4th, 2003 at 10pm
the auction in Domino City, where I got the
I'll get the painting "Mutterglück" from Haintz.
Cat's Eye

Kinneas tore up the card. "I'll get you, cat-eye. Rely on it." Then he left his people with one
Hand gesture know that he was driving back to the police station. The next mission had to be well prepared because
"Mutterglück" was just as valuable as "Old Castle in Spring".Kinneas tossed the scraps of the map on the floor and climbed up
in the patrol car.

The cat jumped from a roof straight into the huge garden of one of the largest villas in Europe: Villa Kaiba. The
young thief unlocked the front doors and went into the basement. A retina scanner, a security system on the wall next to it
a locked door, identified the retina of the cat's eyes and then opened automatically. The thief kicked one
dark room where he hung "Old Castle in Spring" on the wall. This room was the hiding place for the stolen paintings
by Haintz. All the valuables were kept here.

After he showered and changed, the cat sat on the sofa in the living room and turned on his laptop
a. He opened a website about the Domino City auction. As he did so, he thought of his little brother. Who would have thought,
that Seto Kaiba, the most successful high-tech entrepreneur, would one day become a painting thief?But so it was now
once. As a cat's eye, Seto had to steal to save his brother Mokuba. Because this one was from a secret sect
kidnapped, and only when Seto had brought them all of the paintings in the Haintz collection did they release the little one. you
supervised every theft of the cat, even if he should say a word to the police or not an assignment
finish successfully, Mokuba will be killed. That couldn't happen! So Seto had to steal all the pictures, whether he was
like it or not.

The boy got up and looked out the window at the black, starry sky. With his eyes closed he felt the glow
of the full moon on its silky skin. At some point he would see Mokuba again. If he had collected all of the paintings. But
what did the little one have to endure at the moment? Maybe he was tortured ... or worse? How was he feeling right now?
Did he miss his big brother so much too? He was always in a good mood. And although Seto often work in his companyhad to, he never complained. He was just the best little brother anyone could imagine. He had so
a lot of understanding for Seto.

"Mokuba ..." How could these people be so heartless that they took a young child hostage? Seto turned off the laptop and went to his room. He was feeling almost selfish for going to sleep while those damn pigs might be hurting his brother. But what else should he do? He set the alarm clock at 5:10 am, because in addition to the thefts, he also had to take care of his business and go to school. It was difficult, despite being only sixteen he was a cat's eye at night and worked as a businessman and student
