Wonder Woman of Themyscia

The Perfect Hiest

      "Okay. Let's bag it all and get out." Ellen Wong snapped her fingers
      at her crew of Jewel thieves. They had pulled the job perfectly.
      The customers and sales personal were all locked in the safe behind
      a large round heavy vaulted door. The gorgeous brunette Cambodian
      had Interpol warrants for her arrest. Pamela Powers looked with concern at 
      the safe, "It's ventilated. I don't want anyone hurt." Pamela had many debts
      one of which was to Ellen Wong. .. It was Pamela's detail knowledge of
      one of her father's Jewelry stores that had made this heist perfect.


      She was waiting outside in the get away car : a minivan checkered cab..
      "Keep the chatter down." Ellen whispered into her Blue-ray earphone.
      Her crew worked quickly and exited the store with black rolling luggage.
      Ellen flipped the closed sign on the glass door and used the remote to
      shut the lights off and activate the night security system .
      The store door locked and the metal grate rolled down. . "Eh?" She heard
      a sound like grinding metal.. She jumped into the passage side of
      the minivan taxi, "Drive." Pamela drove carefully into the evening traffic.

   
      There was no need for speed. It was the perfect crime.
      Inside the vault the hostages huddled together and gazed agog
      at the slender Greek lady in a brown business skirt .
      She was bending steel in her bare hands. Her slender fingers snapped
      titanium locking bolts around the polished brass vault door..
      The safe door swung open, setting off the stores' alarm.
      Diana turned to the hostages and spoke with a Greek accent,
      "It's alright. Come." She gave a big smile and waved them into the
      store lobby.


      The glass door lock broke off in her hand.  She lifted the grate in
      front effortlessly. "Who are you?" a sales clerk asked timidly.
      Diana had a toothy smile as she ran her index finger across his name tag.
      "I am Diana Prince" she paused and stated, "Malcolm."
      "Well, thank you. I'll check the security cameras." Malcolm punched up
      the video on the computer, but it had been erased. He slumped in his chair.
      "Will never catch them." he sighed. Diana laughed, "Is that important?
      You are free and unharmed. Let us celebrate! There is a restaurant.
      I will pay, while we wait for the policia." Most of the hostages left their cell
      phone numbers and went home .. Malcolm was the store manager and stayed
      with Diana along with his assistant Jennifer.

     
    Diana had selected a Greek restaurant and was quite tipsy when the police
    arrived. Malcolm had rushed over to the store when the first police car pulled up.
    He returned to find his assistant  in a passionate embrace with Mrs. Prince.
    Diana addressed the police in Greek and then English, "How may I help?"
    Jennifer sat bolt upright in her chair desperately trying to sober up.
    "Are you the ambassador from Paradise Island ?" Officer Bowman looked
    worriedly at the drunken Hero. She nodded yes with a bright smile.
    "I need back up." Officer Bowman said calmly into his radio attached to the
    shoulder of his black uniform. He spoke softly as he explained the situation
    to the police chief , who was having his dinner with his family.


    Officer Bowman wrote down Ambassador Diana Prince statement.
    A SWAT team entered the emptied restaurant. They knew that their guns
    were useless against the amazon princess. Even if a bullet hit her
    she never bled .. "She saved us!" Jennifer shouted and was guided away.
    Diana continued to eat her dinner picking at it with her fingers.
    "Hello. I'm councilor .. Jovovich. You have loss a close friend
    recently a Major Trevor. Do you wish to talk about this?" The doctor sat down
    slowly to the right of the Demi God. She mumbled some Greek and then
    added, "He was old and frail ... He is with his family now. " Diana looked
    over the situation about her and gave a toothy smile, "And I am with mine!"
    She raised up her hands to all the guns aimed at her. Jovovich stood up,
    "Do not fire a shot!"


    "Yes. He was 90 years old. A Hero of World War II. How old are you?"
    Diana smirked and sipped her wine. .. "I-am 35" Dr. Jovovich swallowed
    his wine. "Ah." Diana filled his glass.  "You are wondering why I did not
    stop the robbery? she looked directly into the doctor's fogged spectacles.
    "One of the hostages could have been shot." she stated and filled her glass.
    "You didn't pursue them?" she continued ..

    "Pursue who? Where? I did not see which car they got into... Diamonds are
    all marked with a laser code.. So, they got away. So what?"
    Diana raised her hands up in surrender, "Will you shoot an ambassador?"
    She stood up slowly as rifles chambered. . She kept her hands raised.
    "I am just going home to my apartment. Will someone drive me?" Diana
    gave a bright toothy smile. "Stand down!" the police chief had arrived.
    "Look were all on edge, since Superman went postal on those terrorist
    that killed his wife Lois Lane .. Are you okay?" Chief O'Reilly asked as he
    gently lowered her arms.  "I am just a little Greek girl in Metropolis."
    She smiled and let her dress slip to the floor. . She was wearing her Wonder Woman
    costume.  "Lois was my friend and she was 65 when she was murdered..."
    the Goddess took a long breath, "Superman and I mourned her and Steve..
    ... I am living with him." She was swaying in and out of intoxication.

   
    "He lives in the city?" O'Reilly held the Amazon steady.
    Diana shook her head no.  "Take me to Clark Kent's apartment .."
    She fainted. The police chief staggered to hold her as the SWAT team came to his aid.
    "Well, take her to that reporter's flat." O'Reilly commanded.
    Clark Kent thanked the police for their gentle care of the amazon Wonder Woman.
    They placed her on his couch. "You are now a person of interest." Chief O'Reilly
    said as he left. Clark looked down at his old friend and smiled,
    "What have we done to deserve such protection?"
