The figure’s lips curled into a smirk as the concealed safe door slowly swung open. This is the person’s favorite part of the day. The light from the phone’s dimmed flashlight reflected off the contents inside the safe, catching the gleam of something precious. Gems, precious gems. Rows of glittering jewels, meticulously arranged, shone brightly in the confined space, casting multi colored beams of light across the figure’s face.

"We got you the thing!" Nestled inside was a Black Widow figure. The Avengers: Age of Ultron vintage version, complete with the batons and that fiercely calm expression. My absolute favorite. My breath caught. "How did you…?" "Mr. Carter picked it," Leo chirped, tugging on the impeccably tailored sleeve of the man sitting stiffly beside him. "He said this was the best one." My eyes snapped to Carter Thorne. He wasn't looking at us. His profile was a sharp, unreadable line against the darkened window, his posture radiating a tense silence. "Mr. Thorne, thank you.

June noticed my interest and approached with a warm smile. “Beautiful choice,” she said softly. “This is the ‘Lumiére Duo’ — a true limited edition masterpiece. There is only one set in the entire world. It was meticulously crafted by the renowned jeweller, Tiffany Caldwell, exclusively for our flagship store. No other piece like it exists anywhere.” My eyes widened slightly as I leaned in closer, mesmerized by the intricate design.

He quickly cleared his throat. “I am in the bathroom.” The other person was about to open when they heard his voice. “Sorry sir I didn’t know it was occupied.” It was one of the junior workers and his voice was shaking from fear. I was relieved my momentum was distu…….. I didn’t finish that as his finger went deep inside. He was not even scared we were almost caught. “How are you calm?” “They are called stolen moments for this reason. The adrenaline, the zeal and anticipation should feel like this.”

A gloved hand pressed against it. The scanner beeped once. Access granted. The six-digit code was entered immediately after. Correct on the first attempt.
