Forever

Kate Perry is a pretty kickass chick. Her childhood dream was to be a ninja, and she’s now a seventh degree Kung Fu blackbelt.

On a tip, she travels to a Chinese monastery where her snooping uncovers exactly what she’s looking for. Frantic not to get caught, she stuffs the scrolls in her bag to study later.
