The Shinra Electric Power Company's private garage. The smell of motor oil and gas filled the air, it was a sweet smell for a theif, especially one that had a certain thing for anything with wheels.
Roderick found himself crouching down behind a large pillar, hiding from the many cameras in the area, nothing unfamiliar here, the cameras were an easy obsticle for someone who spent a good few years stealing everything he could. Just the thought of doing this had him purring like a kitten.
Why was he here? That was an easy answer. Shinra had the best badass bikes in Midgar, and he wanted one, but paying was for chumps...

He really didn't know who the kid thought he was fooling. Rude had drug him over to the monitors to point out someone strolling into the garage and he hadn't believed him until he'd seen it. Who in the world was that stupid?
Leaning against Rude's chair he watched the kid hide behind a pillar from the visible cameras. Kid was good but not smart enough. In Shinra someone was always watching. There was one room in the entire building that didn't have a 360 view and that was Rufus private washroom.
"So Partner.." He waited for the slight shift of Rude's shoulders that said he was paying attention. "Think i should go go remind the kid it's not smart to steal from Shinra?"

Guessing...Roderick saw himself about, maybe a hundred feet away from the bike of his dreams. All that in the garage up until now were cars and vans and, blah. Nice stuff, but bikes were what he was after today, if he had a chance, he'd come back for the other stuff another day.
Cracking his neck, he arched back and zipped past the next few pillars before taking another short break, can't be too obvious, even if they were already watching, if he paused long enough, he could atleast buy a few seconds with confusing them to where his exact location was.
Shinra was a smart company, but Roderick wanted that bike too damn bad to let it just slip away.

"He'll make off with you're favorite bike if you don't" He didn't particularly care if the kid made off the with bike. They already had his face in the files and could easily track him down later for it.
"s**t .." He shoved off the chair and headed for the door. "******** boring today and i need a little entertainment." Twirling his e-mag around his wrist he disappeared from the monitoring room. Rude would be able to watch his progress down though the building and into the garage though one of the side doors. The doors that had the nice strong stairwells that he was far to familiar with.

So close, so close...now only about fifty feet away he could really see just how pretty it was. Just sitting there, nice and shiny, just begging to be ridden. His eyebrow quirked as thoughts of riding it through the city, wind in his hair, flowed through his mind.
His head swirved around to get a better look at the area around him, cameras cameras cameras, dammit. They sure as hell had spotted him, but there was no sign of anyone coming just yet. Guessing, he had enough time, maybe, to get the bike. And if he did, who knows after that. If there was a lot of guards on the way, he was screwed. Maybe he'd luck out and they'd send the lowest ones on the totem poll, he'd have a great chance of getting out of here then.
Running again, he was inching closer and closer...just another thirty feet away...

The kid was good, he had to give him that, but damn if he wasn't stupid. Shaking his head he was glad for the over greased hinges in the door as he walked though the garage.
He could see the kid from where he was standing and could see him eying the bike. The kid must have though he'd really get out of the garage with it. Cocking one hip he leaned against a pillar a good distance away and waited. He wanted the kid's hands on it first.

There it was, just ten feet away, one more sprint and it'd be his, all his. He licked along his maw and ran for it. Finally he was standing right next to his prize. No one around, it seemed as it was all his, now he just needed to hop on, hotwire it, and get the hell outta there. And that was the easy part for him. Stealth was nice and all, but the actual stealing was his favorite part of the job.
Hopping on the bike he did everything he could to make sure nothing was broken and get the thing started, damn key card engines, tricky little things. But if you listened right, you could hear Roderick purring, he was loving every minute.

"Damn .... hot wiring a bike get you that hot for it?" His voice echoed around the quiet garage as he moved toward the other man. "I mean i know the things rattle slightly but there's better ways to get yer rocks off than taking a bike for a spin."
He wasn't really one to talk since he got pretty hot after certain jobs but stealing a bike wasn't all that interesting. Now a coper maybe could get him going but not something so tiny.

"Hey, shut up, can't you see I'm trying to concentra...ah dammit." Roderick sat up and held his hands in the air. He knew the drill, he'd been caught before. "Let me guess, I have the right to remain silent, right? God damn, I was so close. I thought I had more time, when did you show up, five minutes? Four? I know it couldn't have been too long ago." He was still cursing in his mind, he was on the damn bike, if he had just a few more seconds he could have had it hot wired and been out of there.

"Only the cops bother with all that s**t." He grinned as he stopped beside the front tire of the bike. "More like eight, been watching you since your a** sauntered in here. Didn't exactally pick the smartest place to break into"
He tapped the bike with one finger. "She's one hot ride but i promise she's not worth gettin yer a** handed to ya for. How about ya get off my baby?"

Keeping his hands in the air, Roderick spoke again. "Yeah well, you guys are all the same. Shoot first ask questions later, I bet you don't even want to know why I'm stealing this thing do you. Heartless." He was pushing his luck, but lying might do the trick this time. "Just let me get out of here, you can always get another bike, I can't, you guys are rich as hell." Who did this guy think he was? Not worth it? This bike was perfection. It was worth any effort he could put forward to get it.

"Baby, i modded that sweet little piece of mechanical a** myself. Ain't letting some punk like you sneak off with her." He leaned on the bike, shifting it's weight slightly, and raised a brow. "So, i'm gonna say it once more. Get yer scrawney a** off her."

He sighed and hopped off the bike, hands still in the air, better safe than sorry. "Don't call me baby." His ears twitched, he was pretty pissed, he doubted he'd ever get a second shot at this, atleast not for a long long while.

"Don't think you're in a position to tell me what not do to." His grin slanted slightly as he looked at the would be thief. He walked around the bike and tapped his e-mag against the stranger's muzzle. "So i'll call you my b***h if i want to"
