Keeping to his word, Alan did take take the night shift to guard
the prism. However, after the bustling activity of the day, he was
much too tired to stay up once visiting hours were over. Karen, who
had watched the activity around the museum since the arrival of the
gem, had made her way inside. She could see him sitting at a desk
near the prism, trying to keep himself away. However, the television
he was watching and the coffee he drank did little to help him.
     However, an even more hated competitor made her entrance.
     "Cathra!!" Karen whispered in anger, as the tall, sleek, black-
garbed figure walked to the dosing detective. Meanwhile, her valet,
Bruno, stood before the gem. Once the Russian cat burglaress/pri-
vate detective was sure he was asleep, she put her simple plan into
play. She merely switched the real prism for an imitation!
     "Darn it!!" Karen whispered to herself, quite enraged. "That
crazy Rooski'll ruin everything!! I gotta stop her!!"
