cop/thief AU for 2cool4guardian

[The roar of an engine purred down the street at 2am, the rider stopping it a block from his destination. With a sweep of hair, he pulled his helmet off, scanning the skies above the roof of a museum building before sweeping his leg around and off one side of the bike, kicking out the stand and hanging the helmet on one of the handle bars. With a small frown, Detective Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the III lifted his intercom to his mouth, holding down the button to speak into it.]

Are you sure it was this museum, Fishlegs?

Positive! [Fishlegs' voice crackled over the system, sounding excited but nervous at the same time.] That's what the message the chief got overnight said. Catch me if you can. 2am, at the museum downtown.

Now he's just taunting us.

[Hiccup grumbled under his breath, yawning into his hand. Who the hell challenged cops to come and get him at 2am? Apparently their new little thief. There had already been a batch of robberies over the last few weeks, all with a similar pattern. Hiccup ran his hand down his face, then pulled his gun from the halter on his belt as he replaced his intercom, running across the street. The museum was naturally quiet, but it looked broken into. Hiccup stepped through the broken glass, looking around. Ah, there was the security guard, knocked out with chloroform no doubt.

The young man made his way down through the exhibits, not sure what he was looking for but knowing enough to be Genre Savvy. There had been a crowd here a few days ago when he'd come himself with his girlfriend on their last date (ever. Astrid broke up with him that afternoon to focus on her own career), all gathering to see the Hope Diamond, the biggest diamond in the world.

Hiccup let his feet drag him over to the exhibition room, eyes looking this way and that. He wouldn't let a thief get the drop on him.]

[New towns, new targets, new loot... but the same old tricks. No matter how many cities (big or small) he's already turned upside down and robbed them out of everything, they still don't learn. Jack should be thankful things are easy for him, but the truth is, he's getting quite bored.

Breaking into the museum and getting that diamond is a piece of cake. Is this place gonna be just another one in the list? Well, the detective that has come tonight is definitely different - young and attentive. Blue eyes twinkle behind his mask as he observes him from the shadows - maybe there's hope for interesting shenanigans to happen after all.

Sitting on a statue's shoulders, Jack puts the diamond under the light, reflecting it on the young man's face. His voice is deep but still a purr when he speaks.]

You're late, mister cop. I was about to fall asleep.
