Holding my breath, I eased my way down the last section of corridors, careful to avoid the sweep of the security cameras. Skipping my way over the last pressure pad activated alarm, I scanned the cold, metal covered room for my prize.
There it was. Sitting in a locked glass case. Practically begging me to take it.
But it wasn't mine yet. Quickly I disabled the alarms around the thing, and reached a reverent hand in to take it. Although it wasn't much to look at, the carefully wrought golden earring, my prize, was said to have graced the ear of Cleopatra at one point in time. It was definitely worth my attentions.
A few minutes later, the building was empty once again. My prize and I were nowhere to be seen and all that was left in the locked case was a single piece of white paper. Written on in elegant script were the words:
My thanks, The Phantom.
