Stolen

Chapter 3: The truth is...

POV: Sapphire Maxwell

A heart pumping silence surrounded the cafe. No one had spit a word ever since the the Dark Meteorites' boss started to tell everything.

I'm sure I was really familiar with their boss...

"The truth is..."

"Please quit the suspence effect. Just spit it already..." I said.

"Okay..." he said, "Girls, you are here because we need the fingerprints of one of you."

"Fingerprints?", Pearl asked.

"Yes, fingerprints...", he said.

The three of us looked confused and dumbfounded about the fact that we learned... Why??

"I said we can just cut their fingers off..." the guy with brown hair or Mark suggested. Whaa-

"Shaddup, jerk! Cut your own fingers if you want!" Pearl said.

"Ah!- You-"

"Mark, you must respect a woman... " my Zander cutted Mark's sentence. Zander is really a gentleman plus, he's a cutie... Wait..WHATTT?!?! Did I just thought that? Having a crush on the gang leader of a notorious gang of theives is just a no-no!

"And we came for your whole body, not just your fingers", Cyan said.

"That sounds kinda dirty Cy...", Zander said.

Mark just 'tched' , not erasing the smug-look on his face.

"Why do you need our fingerprints?" Amet asked, going back to the main topic.

"You are the children of Slate Maxwell..." Maximo said.

"Y-yes... But he... he... died 10 years ago... So we doesn't know much about him..."

"... So you doesn't know how great his works are??" the old guy asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Your father can be the second Leonardo da Vinci, you know that? He painted many incredible works, which are sadly, just taken by unworthy people... Your fingerprints were the key to them" he said.

Silence surrounded the place again.

"Okay... Now tell me, whose fingerprints do you need?" I asked, breaking the silence.

"For now, we doesn't know yet whose from the three of you... You are fraternal triplets. Unlike those identicals, you have different DNA's...." Cyan spoke.

"Why are you after them?" Amet asked.

"Back when I was younger, science wasn't as advanced as it was today...." Boss Maximo spoke, "and the fine arts weren't understood well. All the equiptments were very crude..."

"Despite that, it said that there's still no one who can rival your father's accomplishments. At a young age of 16, it said that he made this incredible works of his.... And that is why everyone is after his creations." Zander said.

We really had no idea that he was really an important person...

"You don't know any of this? Haven't you seen any of his stuff?" Mark asked.

"I don't think so... There are many paintings back at home. Who knows which of those was dad's" Pearl stated.

"What a shame..." Cyan said.

It seems so unreal that my dad is so amazing and stuff. And the best thing is we don't even have any idea about it considering that we are his children...

"So you steal to take those works of him and help his case? Weren't that just so cool! You were like Kaitou Kid or Robin Hood!!!" Pearl said excitedly

"I don't think it would be as cool as you think, Pearl..." Amet said.

"Yeah?? Anyways.. About that you have to join us. Would you? Hehe.. I almost forgot. You have no choice. You are now official members of Dark Meteorites... " the Zander said.

"Yaaay!" Pearl squeal.

"I wont mind", Pearl said.

"And each of you are going to be with someone from the gang 24/7. We don't completely trust you yet. If you tried to escape or go to the police, something you don't want to know might happen", he replied.

"Whaaat? And shouldn't we the one to say that we don't trust you?" I asked

"Have you forgotten? We are the kidnappers here and you are the hostages. Don't worry sweetie, its just temporary. Once we got the paintings and inventions, we can go back to our normal lives and act like nothing happened, like we are just stangers..."

Isn't that so sad??? We can be at least friends after these! Do we really had to be strangers?

"Well, sadly, yes Sapphy..." OKAY! I AM THINKING OUT LOUD...

Sigh... I guess there's no going back now.

Short chappie (ok, not too short), mostly about the mysteries of the gang and the Maxwell family...

I'm sorry, Lucy_Heartilfilia , I did not make it just like what I said. I'm just so busy about my life. At least, I still updated despite of a hectic sched...

The hottie in the photo is Zander, the one who kidnapped Sapphire, remember?

I do not own any of the photos that I have been using, except the cover. And also, I just want to inform you that this story was inspired by the otome game, Love Letter From Thief X, that's why some scenes are alike with some scenes there..., but I do not copy them completely. Plagiarism is a crime and I knew that.

This part is edited. I feel like some parts here are not good enough so I wanted to make this better.

Dedicated to my cute friend, Gorgeous_me15 !!! Thank you for the vote!!!
