A Hunter and His Prey ((For ShadowPan10))
The streets were bright and busy. There was a jewelry store in the middle of the small city, millions of diamonds inside. A young male dressed in a neat suit entered the jewelry store. He pushed up the sunglasses that sat on his face. A bright smile drew to his face, searching around to spot the largest diamond. Crystal blue eyes spotted the target. It was incased in Plexiglas case. Despite what everyone thought, it was actually very simple to get into that. “What a beauty.” The boy said out loud, not noticing the man standing behind him.
“It’s our most prestigious diamond. It was delivered to us from Thailand. Very valuable and quite costly” The man replied, making the younger boy’s grin larger. He loved every second of looking at the gracious thing.
“It’s marvelous.” He whispered, backing away from the case. “I must say I’m intrigued. You’ll definitely have to tell me more about this.” He smiled innocently at the man, taking one of the pamphlets that would explain everything about the diamond. “I’ll have to come back when I get my money.” He replied, pushing his glasses up.
“Oh no. It isn’t for sale.” The man said, explaining that it was just for decoration. He would hate to part with the thing. The frown didn’t dissipate. He was going to get it one way or another.
“I see. Well, I’ll have to leave now. I may come back tomorrow and buy something. My fiancé would love the biggest ring you have.” He smiled, waving to the man before walking out of the store. He would wait around for nightfall. He had scanned the entire store, checking where all the cameras were, checking to see what kind of alarms the store was equipped with. He was ready for the night.
As the sun set the store came to a close. The day came to a close, darkness surrounding the city. It was the perfect time for the perfect crime. A grin rose to the young male’s lips. He slipped his way though the vents, peeking in at the end. He sprayed something into the room, red lines covering the store. A few covered the case. He slipped to the ground, making sure not to hit any of the lights. He suspected there would be a motion detector. His gloved hands slipped under the platform, a beep coming from something under. He loved geeks. Gently he picked the platform up, picking up the diamond then setting the platform back where it was.
Without much effort the boy jumped back into the vents, crawling back up. Getting to the roof, he jumped out. He took a moment to sit on the roof admiring the beauty in his hands. It seemed the night was going to go perfectly.
