~Carlie's pov~
"Carlie, oh Carlie," A heavenly voice came to my ears. I can already imagine Jack hovering over me. and I was correct. "I haven't slept that well in days." I sat up slowly. "I'm glad you've finally rested up. Because we need to get to North Carolina pronto." My Brooklyn accent slipped once more. "Well lets get this show on the road."-

16 hours later, we were in North Carolina. "Theo told you where to find this crown?" I asked looking out the window. "Yup. Its in a museum. Check on my phone what Theo texted me." I reached for his pocket and pulled out his phone. "Whats the museum called?" Jack said in his husky voice. "um Serene Daylight Museum." Jack made a sharp left. "Its right there." I pointed at the huge building. "How are we suppose to get it from in there?!" I said getting out of the car and watching the line of the entrance from the museum get bigger. Jack sighed. "I'll find a way." He walked ahead.

15 boring minutes later. "hi ticket for 2?" We both nodded. "That will be 24.00$." The girl behind the counter handed us our tickets and a pamphlet. "This is a map of where the different sections of the museum are." Jack grabbed my hand as the crowd of people only got bigger. Jack opened the pamphlet. "Alright its in alphabetical order so do we check C for crown or S for salem?" He looked at me confused I rolled my eyes and flipped the pamphlet around in his hands. "oh theres a directory. Thanks toots don't know what I'd do without cha." He winked at me and I giggled.

Up the 3rd floor and take a right. "Is that the crown?" I pointed at a bedazzled tiara in a glass case on a podium like stand, surrounded by dozens of people. "I hope not." We walked up to the crown and saw the label that was next to it. 'Crown of Salem' Jack groaned. "So whats the plan?" I whispered. He pulled me to the side where there were no tourist. "Alright we wait till night and then I'll use my angel abilities to poof us in here. I'll cut the cameras and leave no trace. We take the crown and move on to our next town." I nodded. Let the waiting game begin.-

I shook my left leg up and down repeatedly as I shoved my hand into the bag of Sunchips. I was anxious. Jack was asleep. He wasn't a half bit nervous while I was on the verge of freaking out. I looked at the time on my phone, 15 minutes. I watched the security guards and a cashier lock up. I looked at my phone again. 13 minutes. I breathed heavily waiting for my alarm to ring. What if we get caught? What if we get arrested? *BEEP BEEP BEEP* "Ah!" my alarm caught me off guard, scaring the shit out of me. I sighed and leaned my head back against the headrest of the car. "Jack." I looked at the roof. He didn't respond. "Jack." I shook his arm. "Jack!" He woke up violently and unexpected. "What? Huh? What?" He looked around quickly. I snorted and chuckled. "Lets go." He nodded rubbing his eyes. I opened the car door and closed it again when Jack said "Wait I have some bandanas around here." He leaned over to the back seat and looked on the bottom. "Here they are!" He pulled out a red and black bandana. "I got them at a concert, or a gas station I can't remember." I laughed at his cute stupidity. I chose the red one. He put his on in a second while I struggled to know how to even put in on. He leaned against the window with his arms crossed watching me struggle. "Need help?" He gave a quick chuckle before leaning in to tie the back of my bandana. His black bandana covered his nose which gave more emphasis to his eyes. Were they always so gorgeous? I could feel what he was doing in the back of my head but I was to busy day dreaming about his chocolatey warm eyes to even notice he stopped. Now we were both looking at each other. I didn't wanna stop but I broke eye contact when I noticed we were about 5 inches away from each other. He cleared his throat and grabbed his back pack with flash lights, a screw driver, a knife, rope, and a whole bunch of unnecessary crap before getting out of the car, I followed.

He walked in front of me and stopped when were 2 feet away from the car and 30 from the museum. He turned around to face me and spoke low, husky. "Follow my lead and stay close to me at all times alright? You know how the plans gonna go down right?" I nodded. We speed walked towards the museum. When we were in front of the tinted glass Jack cupped his hands around his eyes to try and see if anyone was inside. He gave the door a nudge, a very tough nudge to try and open. He sighed "doesn't hurt to try right?" I shrugged my shoulders. "Alright I'm gonna try something I've never tried before and don't know if it will work.. Hug me." I looked at him with a questioning look. "Just do it, I'm gonna try teleporting ourselves in there. I've never tried it with a human though." I stepped closer to Jack. "What if i get half morphed into the wall or something?!" I stepped back. "Trust me that won't happen just hug me." I stepped closer and wrapped my arms around his neck.
His hands slid down to my waist. He pulled me closer towards him. "Press your body against mine." His breath was hot against my ear, shivers ran down my spine which made me tense. I placed my head on his chest and closed
the little distance there was between us. Then I thought about what he said. "How exactly do you know I won't get morphed into the wall?" My lips were close to his neck. I could smell his cologne. "I don't.."
