The rain hammered the cobblestones of Paris like a thousand whispered secrets slipping into the night. I was in my office, nursing a bitter cup of coffee, when the call cut through the silence, sharp, urgent.

Purrr was in town. Hired by some big-shot private collector to swipe a Sebastiano Conca painting from the Louvre. That ruthless, elusive furball was at it again. Known in the underground scene as “Velvet Paws”, hiding behind the alias “Jean-Jaques Purrriere,” he was a ghost. Silent, deadly, and impossible to catch.

They say Purrr’s skills were second to none, no fuss, no trace. Just a flicker of velvet shadow, slipping through the cracks of the city’s darkest corners. Paid in huge stacks of cat treats, he did what he was paid to do. No questions asked, no morals, just a matter of perspective.

He was a professional and clean as a whisper, gone before anyone knew he was there. The city’s shadows were his playground, and he moved through them like a ghost.

Now I was on his trail. Every paw print, every faint scent trail led me deeper into the night. I knew he was slick, too slick. But my instincts told me he’d slip up. I watched the alleyways, the rooftops, waiting for the moment he’d make a mistake.

And then, in the dead of night, I saw his silhouette against the fog, velvet paws silent as he moved over the marble of the Louvre. One heartbeat he was there; the next, gone, vanished like smoke in the shadows.

When dawn broke, all I found was an empty frame, hanging in the gallery. No signs of struggle, no clues, just the faintest paw prints leading into the darkness. Purrr had pulled it off, leaving the city’s secrets in his wake. No questions, no regrets, just another job done.

I lit a cigarette, staring into the pale light of dawn. Agent Purrr was a ghost, a deadly, elusive ghost. And I swear, next time, I’ll catch him. Next time, I swear I will.
