"That's the building", Kris said casually as he pointed on the building.

My eyes followed the direction he pointed. A white building with a tower on it's side standing before us. It was built over the river with a lot of windows on all sides. Contrasted with the wall, the door and window frames were all painted green, along with the building's name, MANES.

"There are so many people. How can we take the book tomorrow?", my eyes wandered around the busy street we were standing.

"Yeah and don't forget about the security and CCTV. Twelve, four, and nine o'clock", Kris said as he sipped his coffee casually.

I casually moved my gaze to every directions he said. He was right. There were cameras installed in our twelve, four and nine. One was installed in front of the building, one in a pole by a tree, and one traffic camera. There were also men in uniform patrolled around the building.

"Are you working part time as a spy?", I said sarcastically at his ability.

"I'm just that cool", he shrugged sarcastically in return. I punched his arm lightly as we giggled.

"So what's the plan?"

"Well, you can teleport us inside the building so, these cameras won't be our problem anymore. But, there must be a lot more cameras inside so, when we're in position, you can freeze the time, get the book and teleport us out", Kris explained his plan.

"That's a hell of a plan. I just need a picture of the inside in order to teleport us inside. Seems like an easy job, right?", I said excitedly. I can feel an adrenaline rush for a moment. I mean this is quite a heist, isn't it?

"Yeah... but, if anything goes south, I want you to do as I say, okay?", he suddenly became serious as he hold my shoulders.

"Nothing will go wrong"

"If... it's just a precaution okay. Promise me?", he said as he strokes my cheeks and looked me in the eyes.

I nodded lightly before I wrap my arms around him.

"I promise", I whispered before he put his hands on my waist. We stayed like that for a moment before we pulled away from each other.

"Now, let's go explore the city shall we? Madamoiselle?", he said as he asked for my hand in his dramatically.

"Well it's my honor", I said dramatically in return as I put my hand in his and giggled. "I think madamoiselle is French, isn't it?"

"Well, I have no idea how to say it in Czech", Kris answered as we walked hand in hand down the street of Czech.
