That night, the royal blue, almost black night sky was filled to capacity, and then some, with stars, brilliant little sparkling diamonds. Oh, she loved diamonds, she was always thinking about diamonds.
She was standing beneath a beautiful kaleidoscope of diamonds, their colors washing over her. She reached out her hand, and smiled, seeing the colors swirl around her.
…
The Himalayan Pink Diamond, a beautiful, flawless, light pink diamond, found in the Himalayan Mountain Range, had been stolen from the museum it had been displayed at. Because of the value of the diamond, with a worth of about 3 million dollars, the FBI had been called in to take the case.
…
"Kassy...Kass...are you asleep?" Kay asked, sitting down at the table in the interrogation room.
Startled by Kay's voice, Kassy snapped her head up from the table, "N...no, I'm not sleeping," she insisted, as she stifled a yawn.
Kay smiled and laughed to herself, at Kassy's sleepy response. She then grabbed a manila folder from her bag.
"Kassy, the Himalayan Pink Diamond was stolen yesterday from the National Museum where it was being displayed," Kay explained, pulling out a picture of the diamond and sliding it across the table to Kassy.
Kassy looked at the picture of the diamond, that beautiful pink diamond, even from the picture, she could tell that it was flawless, its light pink color so unique and rare. She closed her eyes and pictured holding that magnefic gem in her hand.
"Kassy...Kassy…" Kay's voice brought Kassy back, and she opened her eyes.
"And let me guess, you think my father stole it," she said, smiling to herself, as she got up and walked across the small room, leaning against the wall.
Kassy's father, William Jackson, was the world's most wanted jewel thief. He had disappeared a year ago, after a heist went wrong. Kassy had grown up traveling around the globe, to extoic places, and learning the tricks of the trade. When she had gotten older, she had even helped her father with a heist or two...or three.
…
Kassy seemed to be deep in thought for a moment, before she turned back towards Kay, her blue eyes looking straight into Kay's brown eyes.
"What's in it for me," she asked the agent.
Kay carefully watched as Kassy walked back to the table and sat down.
"Well, you would be released into my custody," Kay began.
"Your custody," Kassy broke in.
"Look, why don't I leave you to think things over," Kay said, she looked back at Kassy, before she opened the door and left the room.
Deakins was waiting as Kay walked back to her desk.
"Well," she asked, arms crossed, leaning against Kay's desk.
Right then, Cameron and Jonathan walked in and headed towards them.
Kay looked up, and she felt her cheeks blush, as a small smile grew on her face, she hadn't seen Cameron in awhile,
Ever since Jonathan had been cleared of the charges he had been facing, he and Cameron had been spending time together, catching up on everything, and while she was truly happy for Jonathan, and Cameron, she couldn't help but feel a tad bit jealous, she missed seeing Cameron everyday, helping her with FBI cases.
Deakins cleared her throat, bringing Kay back to their conversation.
"She'll help us, she just needs time," Kay assured her boss.
"Well, she better because the longer this diamond is missing, the worse it is for us," the agent said.
Deakins straightened up and walked back to her office, giving Cameron a nod as she walked by him.
"You know, I don't think she likes me," Jonathan said, looking after Deakins, and watching as she closed her office door.
"Oh, don't worry, she'll warm up to you," Cameron told his brother, giving Johnny a wink, and a playful pat on the arm, before he sat down on the edge of Kay's desk, "So, who are you sure is going to help you," he asked her.
"The FBI is looking into the theft of the Himalayan Pink Diamond," Kay began outlining the case for Cameron, as she handed him the file.
Jonathan watched as Cameron took the file from Kay and began looking through it.
"Estimated value...3 million dollars," Cameron announced, "Any leads yet?"
Kay tilted her head towards the interrogation room, "We're hoping that she'll help us," she said.
Jonathan walked over to the interrogation room and looked through the window, "Kay, nobody's in here," he announced, with a hidden smile.
"What?"
"Hi ya," Kassy's voice came from behind the agent, making Kay jump.
Kassy smiled as she sat down in Kay's chair and propped her feet up on the desk.
"Take your feet off my desk, please," Kay said in an even tone, as she pushed Kassy's feet off her desk.
"What," Kassy laughed, clearly enjoying the fact that she was annoying Kay, "I thought you wanted my answer," she said, innocently.
Kay sighed deeply and crossed her arms, Kassy was exhausting, "So, what's your answer," she prompted.
"I'll help you, it's not like I have anything better to do," Kassy said, and she propped her feet back up on Kay's desk, "Can I get a smoothie?"
