Rowena XXXIV

2014 - London

Maybe she was getting old. Or maybe she had not slept in three days straight. Or maybe she was seeing the truth.

The Tablet was gone.

And right under their noses. Her nose more importantly.

Perhaps she should go back to the first part of the day.

'What was it with people being so nosy?'

Rowena clearly was not having a good day. A portion of security had called in sick, and she couldn't exactly have the night's stay for a day shift. Instead, Antonio had called in their backup for the next few days, who had asked the head of security to do so on their behalf. She also hadn't had time to sleep for the past two nights and she was tasked to do a talk on Ahkmenrah today.

To top it off, an elderly person had fainted just outside in the large hall. She blamed her heroism and instinct to help anyone as she rushed to the man's side and tried to put him into the recovery position.

Many people began noticing, crowding around her as they began asking if he was alright. Luckily (and surprisingly), a figure with dark brown locks and golden eyes were already there beside her which surprised Rowena. Rebecca had come to her aid, making sure there was space for her and the group of people.

Rowena was not expecting any of the three to be at the museum today, not after last night.

Whilst Rebecca contacted the paramedics, she ushered the crowd away. Security had little help in moving these visitors away, and she sighed in exasperation. She should have taken the day off no matter what.

'Ahk is going to have words with me for not sleeping again,' She said to herself in mirth. She knew how concerned her love was when it came to her health.

As she finally got the elderly man wrapped up with her cardigan and Rebecca's jacket, she heard someone cry out her name. Once she turned to the voice, her eyes narrowed in confusion when she saw him running and pushing through several people – with Nick trailing behind him as always.

Rowena then stood up, narrowing her eyes in confusion at their panicked expressions. What had happened?

"Rowen! I..." Larry Daley panted, stopping himself before he could trip himself with his feet. He took deep breaths to speak but the words came into stammering incoherence.

Rebecca was already next to her, matching her confusion as well as easing Larry to calm down. But Rowena could tell easily that Larry was insistent.

"What's wrong?" She pressed, urging him to get something out at least understandable.

He was shaking. Hands clasping open and close whilst Nick was incredibly silent – gazing at the man with a shocked look.

"The Tablet," Larry's voice hastily sped through.

Her mind then averted to him, and Rowena's tone changed. "What about it?"

Larry blurted, "It's missing."

What.

"What?"

Both Rowena and Rebecca exclaimed at the same time. She eyed the taller woman before telling the two Daley men to wait with the elderly man as she sped back down into the exhibit. On the way, she spotted a security guard already rushing towards her with perplexion on his face. How did he not notice anyone suspicious taking the Tablet?
