It was supposed to be simple. A quick in and out, but it was not simple, and it certainly wasn't quick. It all started out her way, everything was turning out Marina.
The security guard was in the bathroom, so she quickly picked the lock to the diamond store after Sam gave her to go ahead saying he had disabled the security cameras.
She had her gloves on, careful not to leave any fingerprints. She knew exactly where the diamond was. Behind the counter getting shaped for a ring. Marina moved stealthily, careful not to move anything out of its place.
Once behind the counter, she looked around for the diamond. She didn't understand, it was supposed to be right here, yet she couldn't find the diamond.
"Looking for this?", A voice asked her. Marina quickly drew her gun and pointed it at the source of the voice. Staring down her gun was the most handsome man Marina had ever laid eyes on. "Wow, easy there.", The man says. His hands are up in the air with the diamond between his fingers.
Marina wastes no time as she says, "Give it to me."
The man smiles and says, "I don't think so, do you know how much these things go for? I need to put myself through college."
Marian says, "I don't care, that belongs to my company, it ended up here by mistake."
The man extends his hand without the diamond in it and says, "You can call me Eight."
Marina scoffs and asks, "What kind of name is that?"
Marina whips her head as the door handle jiggles. She tackles Eight to the ground and puts a hand over his mouth.
Eight bites her hand, and she pulls it back. He whispers, "It's a nickname. I wouldn't give you my real name." Marina shushes him and he says, "I have got to say, usually, when I have a girl on top of me the circumstances are completely different."
Marina rolls her eyes and says, "Be quiet, the guard is coming closer."
They both hold their breath as they hear the footsteps coming closer, then they hear static and a muffled voice. The footsteps get quieter as they hear the door close and lock.
Marina gets up and says, "Well this hasn't been a pleasure, let's not do it again."
Marina walks away and Eight stands up and asks, "You're just going to leave, without trying to get the diamond?"
Marina turns around and asks, "Who says I don't have the diamond?"
Eight checks all his pockets and sees that, indeed, the diamond is gone. He looks up to ask her to at least think about giving it to him, but she's already gone.
