(open to anyone who feels like trying to stop him but it is important for my plot that he actually manages to steal the gem!!)
It was an unusually cold night given it was mid july. At the musuem two security guards huddled over a small heater in their shed, 5 or 6 wandered around the perimeter. The musuem had recently taken delivery of the rare and beautiful Upherites Gem, and security had been bulked up.
High above all this unseen by anyone was a thief, a mutant thief. Gambit watched the guards with a small smile on his face. It had been too long since his last job and he was glad to have something to do tonight. In a flash he dropped from the branch he had been perched on and landed on the ground with out a sound. As silent as the night surrounding him he ran along the thicket to edge of the building where two armed guards stood. Cupping his mouth over his hands Gambit began making small noises like an animal in distress. After a moment the two Guards, more out of boredom than concern wandered over. When they looked over the bush two steel capped boots struck them and knocked them out.
" You know what dey say about curiousity mes amis " muttered Gambit as he began to scale the side of the building with apparent ease.
