Nathan, sensing a mysterious allure in Izzy's presence, decides to cut through the banter and ask, "By the way, I never got your name."

Izzy, smirking, responds with a twinkle in her eye, "Maybe you will get my name.. if, and it's a big if... you're a good boy" Izzy bitting her lip seductively.

Nathan, momentarily puzzled, chuckles, "but I'm still curious. Why haven't you asked for my name?"

Izzy leans in, a hint of mischief in her tone, "When you're as famous as you are, the name tends to precede the introduction."

Their banter continues until Nathan, with a raised eyebrow, finally asks, "So, what are you doing here?"

She leans back, revealing a glint of determination, "Same as you, Drake. I want that golden compass."

Nathan, intrigued by the unexpected twist, narrows his eyes, "You're after the compass too?"

Izzy nods, "Let's just say our interests align tonight. But make no mistake, I'm not sharing the spotlight."

As the auction and diner thin out, Nathan senses the opportune moment to make his move for the golden compass. Leaving the table without a word to Izzy, he heads to the bathroom, the air charged with anticipation.

In front of the mirror, Nathan contemplates Izzy's presence. The twinge of uncertainty accompanies his reflections. It all adds to the intrigue, but Nathan, ever the cautious adventurer, wonders if there's more beneath the surface. Can he trust Izzy in this high-stakes game, or is there an agenda hidden behind her mischievous smile?

As he adjusts his attire, adding the necessary extras for the impending heist, Nathan can't shake off the lingering thoughts about Izzy. The lines between ally and adversary blur in his mind, creating a tension that adds an extra layer of complexity to an already intricate dance of trust and deception. With the golden compass on the line, Nathan braces himself for the thrilling climax of the night.

Nathan slips through the bathroom window, blending seamlessly into the night. Scaling the exterior of the building, he moves with the agility of a seasoned adventurer. Reaching the designated room housing the coveted golden compass, he surveys the surroundings.

Nathan, with a careful eye, spots a ventilation shaft leading into the secured chamber. Extracting a set of lockpicking tools, he deftly opens the shaft, sliding inside with a quiet precision.

Inside the chamber, the golden compass rests within a sophisticated safe. Nathan, accustomed to such challenges, studies the intricate lock mechanism. With practiced hands, he begins the delicate dance of manipulating tumblers, each subtle movement bringing him closer to the prize.

Silence hangs in the air as Nathan works, his focus unwavering. The safe's mechanisms yield to his expertise, and with a satisfying click, the door swings open. The golden compass gleams in the low light, its allure heightened by the success of Nathan's stealthy intrusion.

As he carefully retrieves the compass, Nathan can't help but marvel at the intricacy of the heist. The room, once a fortress, now bears the mark of his cunning exploits. With the prize in hand, he retraces his steps, making sure there is no trace of him ever being there. He scales the exterior of the building to get to the roof and scale his way back down to his motorcycle but before he could do that....

Izzy's P.O.V

As Nathan abruptly leaves the table, Izzy maintains a calm and collected demeanor, her eyes following his every move. Little does Nathan know that when they first sat down, Izzy discreetly attached a tracking device to him, allowing her to monitor his every step within the restaurant.

When Nathan reaches the roof, confident in his Descent down the building with the golden compass retained, Izzy is already there, anticipating the final confrontation. In the shadows, she watches his every move, a sly grin playing on her lips.

Izzy, a master of surprise, springs into action. With a swift and well-timed move, she trips him from behind, disrupting his balance. Nathan, momentarily caught off guard, grumbles. As he stumbles forward, the golden compass just out of reach.

Izzy, standing tall with a mischievous glint in her eye, quips, "Nice try, Drake. But you should know better than to underestimate me." The rooftop becomes the battleground for a clash of wits and skills, as Nathan and Izzy engage in a thrilling dance for the golden compass, each move a calculated step in their high-stakes game.
