Shadows of Deception: A Phantom Heist
A funny little story.
In the heart of London, the infamous thief, Phantom, eyed the Crown Jewels, glittering under the museum's guarded spotlight. His reputation preceded him, a master of shadows, a whisper in the wind.
Tonight, the moon was his accomplice, casting an eerie glow over the city. Phantom, cloaked in darkness, slipped past the laser security, a ballet of precision and grace. His gloved hand hovered over the jewels, the thrill of the heist pulsing through his veins.
Suddenly, alarms blared, red lights flashing. A smirk played on Phantom's lips. This was part of the plan. As guards rushed in, Phantom vanished, leaving behind a single white feather, his signature.
Meanwhile, across town, his accomplice, a hacker known as Wraith, infiltrated the museum's digital vault. The real prize wasn't the jewels, but the secret government files hidden within the museum's servers.
As chaos ensued at the museum, Wraith completed the digital heist, unnoticed. Phantom's theatrical distraction had worked perfectly.
In the end, the Crown Jewels remained untouched, the white feather the only evidence of Phantom's presence. The heist was a success, a masterpiece of misdirection. The Phantom and Wraith vanished into the night, two shadows against the moonlit city.

She had already had three small breakfast's that morning and a nip of sherry, this was not unusual she would typically wait until an hour after she took her anti-depressant and was her morning routine. She was merely following instructions she assured herself, shifted slightly in her seat and feeling a little heart burn thought, maybe she should skip lunch. Dom had said to have the task done this week. She was well used to his methods and desired to get this over and done with soon. She glanced at her watch, smiled weakly at the Receptionist who was there for a moment and then gone.
