Raph led the group as they entered the museum. He could hear Marius and Reiko muttering to each other but couldn't make out the conversation. Go Team!, he thought sarcastically. The group passed through the main lobby and went up the large central staircase at the back of the room. They reached the second floor and walked down the hall to the Ancient Gemstones exhibit. Raph stopped at the archway that separated the grid of hallways they were in from the exhibit room and turned toward his team members. "Alright, this is the place. The Jewel of Aren'ka is on display in the glass case at the center of the room. We're looking for anything or anyone that seems suspicious. Atlantis, your empathic abilities might help us out here. Anybody finds anything, just keep an eye on it and radio to the rest of us." Half-disgusted with this uncharacteristic display of leadership he added, "Well, I'm headed into this room. Somebody might want to check the adjacent rooms, but I don't care, do whatever you want."

*Atlantis nodded to Raph and watched him as he went into the room and disappeared from sight. She briefly glanced over her shoulder at her other two "partners" and sighed softly. She could sense their displeasure as clearly as if they were screaming in her face. However, she remained silent, turning toward the jewel placed in the center of the room. Slowly and cautiously, she approached the glass case, staring at the object curiously. What could anyone want with this...? She stood close to the glass, the light from the exhibit briefly illuminating her features as she observed the beauty of the stone. However, she quickly backed away, not wanting anyone to notice her odd appearance. Besides, she needed to be focused on the people around the stone, not the stone itself. Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes for a moment, dropping all of the defenses that she had learned to put up to block out the emotions of everyone around her. Like a tidal wave they all hit her at once, quite overwhelming. However, she showed no physical signs of her discomfort besides the frown that fit her lips. She pretended to look through the displays, although she payed them no real attention, staying alert for anything unusual.*

Marius began looking around at the displays. Each one seemed to hold a bit of a story behind it to him. He had seen all of these gems before some time during his long life. He looked at one red gem and he thought back. Thinking of his long lost love Rayne. In a way it saddened him.

Reiko stopped looking when he saw a painting of a man in blackarmor holding the head of a demon. "Marius remeber this one? It was painted after the war of 1253. I dont think the painter got my good side."

Marius snaped out of his trance. "Perhaps not, but we need to keep looking."

Raph made his way around the room carefully scanning everyone and trying to make it seem like he was just looking over the beautiful stones in the cases. No one in the room looked any more out of the ordinary than your average tourists and art junkies, which was already weird enough for him. Just as he was checking out another odd, yet innocent, group of tourists, Raph's attention was caught by a soft, metallic scratching noise. "Anybody else hear that?" he whispered over the radio, lightly putting his hand up to the earpiece hidden in his ear.

"What is it...?" *Atlantis frowned, her bright eyes scanning the room around her as she slowly made her way closer to the room Raph had entered. However, she stopped in her tracks, just barely aware of an emotion that seemed to slightly drown out those of the others in the room... She concentrated on it, soon feeling the greed and caution almost as if it were her own...* "Something doesn't feel right..."

"Yeah... my thoughts exactly..." Raph said as he began thinking of what to do next. Turning to face the majority of the museum patrons, he raised his hands and tried to gather as many people's attention as possible. "Folks, I need you attention for just a moment," he yelled. "I'm from the National Pest Control Board. It seems we've got a little bit of an issue here and it looks like we're going to need to fumigate as soon as possible. Now, if you'd all please remain calm and exit toward the main hall... You're cooperation is greatly appreciated." Despite some puzzled looks and having to convince the assigned security guard that they had a major pest problem, Raph managed to herd the last of the bystanders out of the doorway and closed and locked the large double doors. By now the scratching had gotten a little louder and Raph turned to scan the room for it's source.
Not but a few moments later, the scratching swelled into a low rumble and the team continued to attempt to locate where it was coming from. Suddenly from under the floorboards and through the pipe from which it had appeared to be coming from, burst a humongous snake. The snake seemed to be able to alter it's size at will as it reared back and towered a good 4 feet above Raph's head. "Well, looks like we found our culprit..." Raph said, somewhat in awe of the rather large creature before him. "Alright Scaly, are you gonna come quietly or are we gonna have to do this the hard way?" The snake let out a long menacing hiss and glared angrily at Raph just before snapping back and lunging right at Raph's head. Raph rolled out of the way just in the nick of time and drew his trusty pistol. "Right.... hard way then. They always pick the hard way..." he sighed.
