Kassy watched as the speedboat sped away, making tiny white capped waves in its wake, as it sliced through the glassy blue surface of the water.
"Kassy, are you alright," Jonathan asked, panic filling his voice, as he, Cameron, Kay, and Jordan ran up to her.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine," she told Johnny.
Kassy turned back around and looked out over the beautiful, sparkling blue water, and toward her sister's boat, that was getting farther and farther away.
She turned back around, and a mischievous smile was growing on her face.
"Do you think she bought it," Kassy asked, looking at Kay.
"Yep," Kay said, smiling, as she took the REAL Himalayan Pink Diamond out of her pocket, and held it up.
Kassy looked over at the beautiful pink diamond, that Kay was holding, it sparkled in the morning sunlight, and she smiled to herself.
Kassy then turned back towards the water, looking out over the beautiful blue expanse, until Cameron walked up and gently placed his hand on her shoulder, and said, "Come on, let's go home."
…
Kassy had thought that her sister might try to steal the diamond from her, so she had painted two crystal pendants with the pink translucent paint, both to look exactly like the Himalayan Pink Diamond, one that she had left in the safe in her mother's hotel room, and the second one that she gave to her sister.
Once she had stolen the REAL diamond from her mother's safe, she had handed it off to Kay, who, then in turn had handed her the second crystal. Kassy knew that her sister was following her, but she had spent practically her entire life hiding from people, using misdirection so that they never saw her, even if they were looking right at her, so making the switch with Kay was pretty easy, and MW never suspected a thing.
…
After the almost 8 hour flight back from Paris and the hour drive back to the Archive, Kassy was standing outside, leaning against the railing, looking up at the stars, as they sparkled against the dark blue, almost black night sky, and let out a deep sigh.
...
Kay had taken the Himalayan Pink Diamond to the FBI and after explaining everything to Deakins, she informed Kassy that, with the return of the diamond, all charges against her in this case were being dropped.
Bennett Chambers, and Kassy's mother had been arrested by Paris authorities, when Bennett had tried to sell the counterfeit diamond to Noll Harris, who just so happened to be an undercover police officer.
...
"Thinking about disappearing again," Jonathan asked her, as he, and Cameron came out to join her.
"Nope," she said, smiling at Jonathan.
Once again, she turned her attention back to the beauty of the stars, and sighed, "This...New York has always felt like home to me."
"Good," Cameron said, with a smile, "Because, Johnny and I were sorta hoping that you'd want to stay here, at the Archive?"
Kassy just simply ran up to them and gave them both the biggest hug.

Well, there you have it, I hope you liked it? When I started out writing this, I had wanted to write a fun little mystery story with more than a few twists and turns along the way, and well, I think it turned out pretty good! I would love to hear what you all thought, and if you have any ideas about what I should write next!
