Chapter 12: The Job

Omniscient Narrative

"This one is beautiful, let's choose this one" Kai exclaimed pointing to the long white couch

"Yeah I love it too" Aries said not paying attention to what Kai was talking about, he could care less what furniture he got, he only wanted to get the smaller man away from his house for a while. But Kai didn't think too much about the fact that the other man obviously wasn't listening to him.

"Then we'll take it" Kai said to the sales man.

"Okay, and is he okay with it?" The man asked pointing to Aries who was deep in thoughts, completely zoned out.

"Yeah" Kai replied with a smile as he looked between Aries and the sales man.

"Okay then" the man said taking notes of the purchase.

"Want to keep looking or are okay with this one" Kai asked giving Aries his attention.

"This one's fine" Aries said honestly.

"Okay, let's go look for other Living room interior designs" Kai said pulling Aries to a section that had interior designs.

All Aries could think about is if the person he had given orders to had done the job successfully or if he was caught.

Just then Aries got a message

All done boss

A grin spread on his face as he read the message.

Aries

Good job

he typed back, he was now at peace.

"I like that one" he said pointing to the black throw pillows, as he pocketed his phone and finally being comfortable enough to shop with the smaller man.

"I like that one more" Kai said pointing to the white ones with a pout on his lips.

"We can get them both" Aries, who eyes the man's pouty lips, it took so much in him to not lean in and give the lips a kiss.

"Why do want it to be black and white" Kai asked, he really loved white or pastel furniture.

"I would have preferred a more friendly coloured theme" he added

"I'm a bachelor who's in college" Aries replied leaving Kai to check on more things on his own.

"Not for long though " he whispered eyeing Kai's butt.

(Minutes after the left)

The man watched as Aries's car drove off giving him the go signal.

The man was dressed in black and wearing a pair of gloves, he moved silently across the grounds, his eyes scanning the perimeter for any sign of movement.

He slipped over the fence and landed silently on the grass. He moved quickly and quietly across the lawn, avoiding any areas where he knew there might be security cameras.

Vincent was a wealthy man, so it wasn't a secret that he might have cameras around his house and Aries wasn't too sure on if he had cameras or not, so he told the man to be careful.

As he approached the house, the man could feel his heart pounding in his chest. He was getting close, he did this a lot, but it didn't mean he didn't have his worries when breaking into another person's house.

He reached out and tried the door handle. To his surprise, it swung open easily, revealing a dark and empty hallway.

Jake smiled to himself as he slipped inside. He figured that the owner was a bit of a control freak, and he would have installed all sorts of security measures to protect his home and his business.

But he was not afraid. He had a plan, and he was confident that he could get in and out without being detected.

He moved quickly and silently down the hallway, avoiding any areas where he figured there were security cameras. He reached out and switched off the lights, plunging the hallway into darkness.

As he moved deeper into the house, he could feel his senses coming alive. He was like a predator stalking its prey, searching for any sign of movement or sound that might give away his presence.

He reached a stairway and climbed silently up to the next floor. He figured that this is where Vincent kept his office, and this is where he would find some information Aries needed.

As he reached the top of the stairs, the man could see a faint light coming from under the door. He smiled to himself as he reached out and turned the handle.

The door creaked open slowly, revealing a dimly lit room filled with rows of computers and filing cabinets. His eyes scanned the room quickly, taking in every detail.

And then he spotted it - a large monitor screen on one side of the room, displaying a live feed from all over the mansion.

The man's eyes narrowed as he took in what he saw. There were cameras everywhere - in every room, corridor and garden.

But the man was not deterred. He had a plan for dealing with these cameras too.

He reached into his backpack and pulled out a small device that looked like a remote control. Which was actually a jamming device that would block all signals from the cameras and alarms.

The man smiled to himself as he activated the device. The monitor screen flickered once before going dark.

He then breathed a sigh of relief as he stepped into the room. He knew that he now had free rein to search for whatever information he needed.

He moved quickly and silently across the room, avoiding any areas where he knew there were security cameras. He reached out and flipped open drawers, searching for any documents or files that might be useful to him.

As he searched through the office, the man could feel his excitement growing. He was getting closer to his goal with every passing minute.

And then, just as he thought he had found everything he needed, the man heard a faint noise coming from outside. It sounded like footsteps - heavy footsteps that seemed to be getting closer with every passing second.

His heart skipped a beat as he realized what must be happening. Someone must have seen him breaking in - someone must be coming for him.

He knew that he had to act fast if he wanted to get out of here alive.

He reached out and grabbed everything he had found - including Vincent's computer files - and stuffed it all into his backpack. Then he turned around and ran back down to the hallway as fast as he could.

After leaving the office, he silently walked around looking for the bedroom.

When he found the room he figured was the master bedroom, the man began fixing the cameras Aries had asked he fix.

After fixing the camera in the room and bathroom, he left the room and started thinking of how he would exit the house.

The man didn't dare look back as he ran down the stairs - but he could feel footsteps getting closer and closer.

Successfully, he had done his job, he had placed the cameras around the house, most specifically in the room.
