Thieves

Stealing the golden bird

Once upon a time... Oh, hold on, that's the wrong story! The streets were crowded, people rushing, as usual.

Two girls were chatting about boys from their favorite tv show, three guys were passing buy laughing about a joke one of them made, but there were other girls, who had other things on their minds.

They were just two regular girls, except for one thing- they worked as thieves.

Who would have known that? No body, to be honest, ever expected anything like that.

And today, as no other exception, they had to steal something.

Hayley took Caitlin by her arm and dragged her into the museum.

-What is it now?- Hayley asked.

-You'll see.

Caitlin continued to push her friend deeper into the halls, through many coridors and opened doors. Then they stopped in front of a glass protected cupboard.

-What am I looking at right now?

-See that one,- Caitlin pointed to a rich golden neclace. - I think we do it.

-Again? You said it is the last time, when we did it last time!

-Oh, wow, that totally didn't make any sense, but I get that you don't like the idea.

-Caitlin!

-Shh, people are starting to watch us...

Hayley turned around to see no one else in that room.

-Yeah, so many...

-Don't use your sarcasm, we will get ten grand for it!

-Ten?

-Yeah, five each. Sounds tempting, doesn't it?

Hayley took a step closer and whispered.

-They probably have really good protection on theese, so we will need our best gadgets.

-I am listening very carefully.

-If we are to get this one, i need to cut the codes of security, in every level of this building, stop the sirens and switch the cameras to something else.

-I think it will give us approx three to five minutes.

-Maybe.

-Besides the guard is old, he is a good one though, but still.

-Money is not the reason why you don't want to do this job anymore, is it?

-You know me, if we ever get caught, we would be in a lot of trouble.

-And trouble means jail.

-Excactly.

They walked slowly.

-It has been a while since i was here last, - Hayley said. Caitlin stopped in front of front of the history board, that explained that the first ones to built this city, were actual vampires.

A painting showed how the first family looked, in front tall, blond guy, probably the eldest of them, children in front, some servants, and that's it.

There still was a bit of information about them and loads of drawings from nowdays.

People were still trying to figure out if they were real.

A drawing showed a walking stick with a silver crow with red eyes on it, evil eyes.

-Anything interesting?- Hayley shouted.

-Nah, just watching. Can you imagine, that people really believe that this city was built by vampires.

-That's so funny.

-What do you think?

-Why those questions Caitlin? Ask me clearly, do i believe in vampires?- Hayley sighed,- there is no such thing as vampires. That is just a bunch of lies, as always.

Caitlin nodded and walked to Hayley and they both went out of museum, went home to get ready for the evening.

As they entered their apartment, that was almost like one floor of the whole five floor house, they sat on the sofa.

Three giant windows made their apartment look nice and cosy, and the light from the windows seemed so bright, you could get blind from it.

A painting on each wall, showed how much money they have. Because every person who knows something about art, knows those artists.

Ancient Greek vase full of flowers on the kitchen table made everything look more colourful than it was.

-Coffee?- Caitlin asked.

-Yes, please.

A few years ago Caitlin worked as a barista in a coffee shop, so she knew how to make a fantastic drink.

Hayley was the type, who would wait while someone does home work for her, than to do it herself, but when it came to stealing, she knew excactly what to do.

Each of the rooms in their apartment were made with specific things. Entering one room and then another, made the feeling like you would step in entirely another world.

And the bathroom... A "simple" bath- jacuzzi. One of their favourite things in whole apartment.

After few hours, Hayley had made sure that every gadget in her super-power-phone as she called it, is working, and dressed in black they were ready to roll.

They got on the roof top of the museum, carefully opened the top window and got the ropes ready.

Hayley was the one to do dirty job this time, and Caitlin was already getting through the security system, through her computer, to deflect cameras, and to switch them to "Crazy Frog" , probably to one of her favorite songs- Popcorn video.

Hayley made sure the ropes are attached to the chimney, as it looked very old, but capable of holding her, and slowly, she got herself down.

The old guard who had tonights shift was sleeping, but when Caitlins video popped up, he opened his eyes, at first not knowing what is going on, but then, he understood that someone must be robbing the place.

-Man, i will get fired?- he groaned and started to walk around the place.

In the same time, Hayley had taken off the glass shield, and the golden necklace was in her hands, and Caitlin monitored the building.

When the guard was coming closer, she helped Hayley to get back on the roof, and they got down the stairs, in their car, to their boss, Mr.Lea, who's house was on the other side of the city.

It took them more than half an hour to get there, but it was worth it.
