"AHHHHHHH" Mystery falls from the sky
Even still, she gets shot at
A helicopter comes from nowhere and twists on its side from under Mystery
"MY PALMS ARE SWEATING, THANKS" Mystery barely manages to grip on to a seat, holding the cat in her other arm
"I can't believe you had the balls to that" A robotic voice chuckles
The helicopter twists itself to face normally
"Ho...ly...sh*t" Mystery breathes heavily, sitting in the seat and putting the cat in her lap
"So, how was your trip?" The robot asks
"Shut up and let me rest for a sec, yeah?" Mystery stares
"Alright, I can hear your heart beating from here, night night" The robot agrees
The cat gets in a comfortable position and starts to sleep
"I like where your head's at" Mystery pets the cat, closing her eyes
The helicopter ride starts to come to an end
"Clara, we're almost there" The robot informs
"Alright, be discreet" Comm woman suggests
"Aren't I always?" The robot asks
"You're kidding, right? Just yesterday you wanted to steal the watch by blowing a hole in the ceiling" Comm woman laughs
"If she was gonna get caught, it should've been in style, am I right or am I right?" The robot asks
"He's got a point" Comm man verbally smiles
The robot lands the helicopter close to a village
"You ready to stretch your legs some more?" The robot jumps out of the helicopter
"Yeah, sure" Mystery climbs out of the helicopter
They start making their way to a close building
"What's her name?" The robot asks
"Who?" Mystery asks
"The cat, what's her name?" The robot asks
"Oh, that-...I don't know, I was just gonna try and give it away to someone who can actually take care of it" Mystery answers
"Why can't you do it?" The robot asks
"You know why I can't" Mystery sighs
"WHY THE F*CK ARE YOU STILL DATING THAT A**HOLE? HE CAN BARELY TAKE CARE OF HIMSELF AND HE TREATS YOU WORSE THAN HE WOULD HIS OWN SH*T" The robot yells
"I know, I know, I still think there's some good in him, deep, deep, down...and when he just breaks...I feel so bad for him" Mystery shakes her head
"Flake, listen to me, he doesn't care about you, he just thinks you're a sex toy, A STRESS RELIEVER, EVEN" The robot exclaims
"Let's just...not worry about it right now, okay?" Mystery sighs, petting the cat
"Mrow" The cat looks up at Mystery
They knock on a normal, simple house
"Hey, you-" A woman with red hair opens the door
"She got a cat and can't keep it because of B*tch-I mean Rich" The robot shakes his head
"1. Dump the guy, 2. If you can't keep the cat, sell it, 3. Where's the watch?" The woman asks
"Here" Mystery sticks her arm up, revealing the watch under her sleeve
"Alright, inside, quick" Clara walks away from the entrance quickly
Mystery and the robot get inside
"Welcome back" A man with a red mask, waves at the mystery woman
"Hey Jason" The Mystery woman walks towards Clara
"So, there may have been a few things I didn't tell you guys" Clara starts to say
"What's up?" Mystery starts taking the watch off, carefully
"Normally our hits are in the thousands, right?" Clara asks
"Yeah?" Metal leans on the wall, crossing his arms
"Can I have the watch?" Clara puts her hand out
"Yeah" Mystery drops the watch into Clara's hand
"This thing was worth about 15 million" Clara sits the watch down
"FIF-FU-FIFTE-FIF-FiF-WHAT?" Metal yells
"Did she-million?" Jason asks
"WHY THE HELL WEREN'T THERE MORE GUARDS IS MY QUESTION" Mystery slams her hand on the table
The cat observes them all
"We're not selling the whole watch though, just a little piece in it...the little piece of a diamond in it" Clara uses a screwdriver to chip something off the belt of the watch
"Oh yeah, that makes-why aren't we selling the watch?" Jason asks
"Because...you'll see, but since Flake lasted through all of that, she gets it" Clara holds a little diamond in her hand
"What makes it worth THAT much money?" Metal asks
"Nobody knows, the only people that do are beyond dead, the whole story about them is stupid anyway, no way I believe it, but the diamond itself is worth 7.4 million dollars, the rest of it is worth 7.6" Clara smiles
"Wow, alright, that's a f*ckton of money still" Metal laughs
"Yeah, but why weren't there more people after me?" Mystery asks
"I cashed in a few favors" Clara explains
"Ohhhh, I get it now" Jason nods
"What?" Mystery asks
"You're giving it to Flake to see what makes it worth so much and as a gift" Jason nods
"Yeah, see, someone gets it" Clara rolls her eyes
"...What if the diamond is the thing that makes what's so special about it special?" Mystery asks
"You could be right, but I've got a feeling inside my gut it isn't" Clara answers
"Thank could be the Beast burger you ate last night, that thing was a piece of s***" Metal rubs his stomach
"I just wanted to try it" Clara shrugs
"Have you been on your period yet?" Jason asks
Metal, Clara, and Mystery all stare at him
"...Maybe that's why you've got the feeling in your gut" Jason explains himself
"I just think there's something weird about the watch, that's all" Clara explains
"Yeah, me too" Mystery nods
"Alright, you guys can go home, I'll get this diamond cashed out, here's your gift" Clara gives Mystery the watch
"Thanks, Rich is probably gonna get off of work soon anyway, I'll see you guys tomorrow" Mystery starts walking towards the exit
"He doesn't treat you right, just dump him, for the sake of all of us" Jason groans
"There's hope" Mystery walks out
