(looks like we all arrived at the same time?)
"Well gents, let's spread out. I'll go to the roof of the grocery store. One of you can take this roof and the other can go to the building next to here. Unless you think we should take a peek through the skylight of Helmsley's?"

"If you'll cover me A-head, I'll take the skylight of Helmsley's. If there's trouble I can bound away more quickly." Fists on Hips. "If you hear 'the signal' it either means it's safe, or I'm in trouble. Either way follow me in. Web, what do you think about the police patrol? Coincidence, following the same trail as us, or something more sinister?"

"I suspect the police have simply stepped up their patrols in the neighborhoods of jewelry stores; they would be fools not to," The Web responded. "But they can only observe the stores from the street level. I'll take this roof and watch the store and the street from here. Try to stay out of sight on our respective roofs. Don't respond too quickly if you do see someone; we don't want to scare away our crooks before they do anything incriminating. If you're in danger, whistle for backup."

"That I can do, Wwhhheewwwwwwwwweeet!". Now knowing that two complete strangers have his back, Agent Echo makes the hops needed to get down to the jewelry store roof. Once at the ledge he'll crouch down, look back at the other two for any hand-signals or warnings, and if not, creep over to the skylight to peer in.

Arrowhead gathered his dark cloak around him to better meld with the shadows. He peered out of the darkness for any sign of movement or activity at the jewelry store.

You wait what seems to be an hour but is only thirty minutes when the web hears a buzzing noise and then passing over his head out of a normal human jumping range is a small toy sized plane, shaped like a b52 bomber. It passes over the jewler store and a door opens on a plane. Stepping out a small figure jumps out and a mini chute is deployed. The plane then continues to move away. All three heroes see the chute and the plane

Agent Echo will continue to observe and stay hidden. Whether or not I take action will depend on if the figure breaks into the store.
I'd like to know what information I learned from looking in the skylight prior to the airplane showing up - the lay out of the store, any alarms, how much light, etc? How small is the small figure? I'm envisioning a star wars type action figure.

Arrowhead caught the movement out of the corner of his eye. "What the hell?! Is that a B-17?? No...it's tiny!" He thought, tensing for action. In wonder, the masked man watched the miniature parachutist fall towards the jewelry store. "Echo's down there, I'll back his play." He thought.

((Also waiting for Echo to hear what he saw through the skylight.))
((Later...))
The Web tried to sneak up on the small figure for a closer look.

Also interested in noticing if it's a creature or some kind of clock-work soldier.

((From my read of Darren's text, it looks like only The Web can see the figure from his vantage point. Arrowhead and Echo can only see the chute from where they are (and, I presume, guess that something small is attached underneath it.))

(re-read Darren's comment and you are right. Arrowhead is still waiting to back up Echo)

The skylight is small and agent echo can see below. The store has three glass counters, one of them has a cash register. The main door can be seen as well as another door behind the cash register counter.
The toy bomber is bigger then a typical toyplane as it dropped off this figure. The figure parachuting down is a clockwork like toy soldier it lands on the skylight. Instead of a gun it has a sword. The sword looks shiny almost glasslike. Also around it's waist of the soldier is some thread of rope. It is now heading towards the skylight

Arrowhead waits, observing. Tense for action.....

Agent Echo stays hidden until the mechanism destroys private property. Once it's busy fidgeting with its entry mechanism I'm going to zap it with my vibration of shattering finger ray!
We know what it steals so there's no point in waiting for that. I'm going to attempt to signal to A-head to keep his eye on the direction the bomber went. Depending on how this goes that may be the only trail to follow.
