Chapter 2

"724375" Matthew repeats. I punch in the code and watch as the safe flies open. "Yes! It worked" i pulled back the false wall in the back to find miles and piles of rubies, emeralds, topaz, and a few sapphires. I opened my bag, and watched as a claw reaches out and starts counting an exact amount of the ten mill of jewels as the CEO ordered. "We got a guard coming to check on the lockbox, hurry up and get back here." I closed up the bag and let it shrink down to the size of a coin purse. I uncovered the few cameras in the room, replaced the false wall, and shut the safe, re-locking it to cover my tracks. I crawled into the laundry shoot and slid down into the servants quarters. I ducked into a closet, and pulled the guards uniform over my head, replacing with a simple slip and cap. I tucked my jet black hair into the cap, and slipped into some maid quality slippers. I cracked open the door stuffing my clothes into my bag watching to see if the coast is clear. "I've got three guards coming up to the right, you can come out of the closet but keep your head down and head upstairs to the lady's room." I did as I was told and was surprised to see the chiefs son splayed on the bed. I squealed in surprise as I realized his shirt buttons were unbuttoned. "I'm sorry I didn't realize you were in here!" I exclaimed, darting towards the door. "Stop." I froze in my tracks as he comes up behind me, that same predatory gleam in his eyes his father gets when he knows he's going to win. I take a step back, then another, then another until I'm practically sprinting into the hallway. I open my mouth to scream as I see him chasing me only to be pulled into a dark room.
