Arsene walked downstairs with Lady Crorie, coming face to face with Sherlock and Rook.
“Hello, dearest brother of mine. Oh, I see you brought Rook with you.”
“Good evening.” Rook greeted.
Smirking, Arsene waited to see which of the three would speak first. It was Sherlock.
“Enjoying yourself?”
“Why yes,” Arsene acknowledged, “Thank you for asking.”
Sighing, Sherlock said. “At least you didn’t get the statues.”
As if on cue, Arsene flicked a copper solidus coin to Sherlock. Sherlock picked it up, investigating it for a few seconds. Arsene put nothing on the coin, rather desiring to see how long it would take for Sherlock to put the pieces together.
“Alright,” Sherlock started, “Where is everything else?”
“What time is it?” Arsene countered with a question.
“Why would you want to know?” Rook demanded.
“Well,” Arsene replied with a hint of satisfaction, “Depending on the time, the goods could still be in Mithril, or out of town, or on the sea.”
Cursing, Sherlock looked at his watch, before saying. “Six thirty.”
Rook almost said something, when he suddenly paused. “Pardon me for a second Sherlock, I think I saw that box move.”
Wait, Arsene thought, that’s not me, I didn’t plan that.
Silently approaching the boxes, Rook moved them, discovering a boy. “Uh…, hello?”
“G-Get away from me!”
“Hey, it’s alright.”
Rook didn’t get to speak any further, because the boy sent a swift kick to his face, when he tried to move closer.
“W-WHAT HAPPENED TO MY TREASURES?!” Baron screamed.
He ran around the place, searching for something that was not there.
“WHERE’S MY PAINTINGS, MY CHESSBOARD, MY STATUES!”
Baron then saw his precious statues, dashing to them and hugging them. Gaining an evil thought, Arsene smiled maliciously.
“I say Mr. Baron,” Arsene added, “Is that a little copper on the king’s crown?”
Baron investigated the piece, suddenly becoming pale. Suddenly, he let out a giggle. Finally, he and Arsene broke out into laughter (with the formers being out of insanity). When Arsene enjoyed the joke, Baron called out. “GUARDS!”
The guards arrived, being rather quick.
Cackling, Baron shouted. “KILL HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The guards opened fire, when Arsene snatched Lady Crorie’s umbrella, shielding himself and her. Returning the item, Arsene blitzed up the stairs. A shot nearly hit him, when a wall of fire appeared, protecting Arsene. It came from the boy in the boxes, who now appeared terrified. Jumping down, Arsene swiped the boy, before the guards could shoot. Running again, Arsene escaped upstairs, with everyone else chasing him. After making a wrong turn, Arsene found himself cornered at a stain glass window. Arsene wasn’t aware if it was stolen or not, but he was now trapped.
Guards almost shot him, when Baron yelled. “NO YOU IDOTS YOU’LL DAMAGE THE WINDOW! IT COST ME ALMOST A MILLION!”
Suddenly, Arsene acquired a delightful escape route. Shifting part of his body, Arsene rammed into the window, jumping out. Safely, Arsene landed on his feet, discovering a van. With a skeleton key, which he used to steal cars, Arsene hopped inside with the boy. Inserting the key, Arsene cranked the car, before driving away.
When he escaped, an inhuman scream escaped from Baron. Pulling out a detonator, Arsene initiated the final part of his plan. The button triggered fireworks in the distance, which formed a perfect Ace of Spades.
