A Thief's Leap

On a cliff, The Ocean rested in undisturbed silence as a Giant Museum was located on the edge of that very cliff, the sound of the waves crashing upon the cliffs rugged terrain as the sound resounded through the night creating a peacefull atmosphere.

The only light that made things visible was none other the Ray's of the Moon as it shone brilliantly in the sky.

Tonight was a calm and Peacefull Night it would seem, But that is Something that would Unfortunetly not last Long as Sirens abruptly started Blairing shattering the peacefullnes of the Night.

A Loud Flick of a Lever resounded as Huge Lights all syncrohunously switched on Blinding anyone that was not prepared for it bathing the Museum in Light.

Gaurds with Guns drawn Flooded The Main Halls of the Museum and the roof of the Museum covered with snipers.

Today was the Day An Amteur had decided to pull of a heist that would go on to be recorded as The Greatest Heist ever Performed in History.

And today was also the day that a Priceless Ancient Artifact that had seen The History of Humans and had survived was stolen.

It had Dissapered into the Oceans Never to be seen again just like the Amateur Theif that Stole it.

An Ancient Artifact that was revered by people all over the World as a Gift from God himself due its ability to survive the Harsh Reality of Time.

Something that was priceless.

But let's stop here for a second and ask ourselves the Question we all might be thinking.

"Just Why does any of this matter?"

Well... It matters, It matters because The Amateur who decided to pull of this heist, was none other than The Main Charecter of our story.

So let's rewind the story a bit to just a few moments before the Alarms blared and the room filling up with Gaurds with Guns ready to take out our Amateur and his Thwart Escape.

A Man could be seen wearing all black with his face covered and a Black Bag on his back scaling the cliff with eyes set straight at Museums Balcony.

That balcony was the Only Other Entrance into the Main Hall of the Museum that wasnt Gaurded by Humans and only Monitered using Things such as motion sensors and a camera.

The Man kept taking deep heavy breaths as he scaled the cliff with little no equipment to support him up the Cliff.

But Soon he had made it up on the Cliff and he now Hid himself right under The Balcony of The Museum in a little space in between the cliff and The Balcony.

He moved his Hands And from his waist's belt strap and he removed a Laser, but not just any kind of Laser, He took out the Fuzzy Laser.

A Special Laser that confuses any type of Monitoring machinery such as Motion Tracking sensors for upto 5 minutes once they were flashed at by the laser, Giving him just enough time to be in and out of there.

The Amateur climbed from the side as peeked at the balcony and observed the Multiple motion tracking devices laid all along the Balcony.

He looked around when he suddenly saw the camera that was quickly moving move towards him.

Suprised, He quickly ducked under The Balcony and waited for a few seconds before he peeked again and saw the camera moving away.

He quickly got to work as he began flashing all of the motion sensors making them all go Fuzzy and stop working.

He quickly jumped onto the balcony as he quickly moved under the Camera.

That being it's only blind spot.

He pulled out another device from his Utility belt and disabled the camera as well without alarming anybody.

Feeling thankful and amazed at the tools he had been provided with.

He quickly removed the Glass cutter Machine that was stored inside his bag as he placed it on the window of the Museum, He could have used the doors that would lead him straight into the Hall.

But That would easily trigger an Motion sensor Alarm, That he could not disable.

He adjusted the size of the laser and flicked a switch on the Glass cutting machine as a strong suction appeared and it got attached to the Glass.

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

His Hands trembled ever so slightly as he flicked another switch causing a laser to shoot out of the Glass Cutting machine, And it began to move in the shape of a circle cutting the Glass as if it was butter.

He waited for few seconds as he felt his palms start to sweat under the woolen gloves he was wearing.

His legs began fidgeting in place before a small beep resounded through the silence causing his whole body to shake a bit.

He was nervous, Really Nervous without a Doubt, He was a man that had been a Great spy for over a decade and had experienced countless Tough situations but none of those experiences came close to what he was about to do.

The Ancient Artifact that was allegedly given to mankind by God,

Something that has been of the upmost Importance to any religious group,

For something Countless wars between these Groups have been Fought over.

And was about to Rob it, So it would only be natural that he would be nervous.

He swiftly moved and Grabbed the handles as he gripped on to it tightly and it pulled it away from the Glass leaving a Circular hole big enough for him to crawl through.

But he didnt crawl through yet as he first took out the Fuzzy Laser and with a strong grip on it he began to disable all of the Motion sensors that he was told about.

Once done with that his legs still shaking he put the leg through the window hole.

His eyes closed as his legs kept shaking as it slowly lowered further down and Finnaly hit the floor as his body shivered slightly.

He let out a slow breath of relief, his eyes still closed as he cleared his mind and began moving his body through the hole.

Once inside the dark room he saw multiple Pillars holding up Items that were covered by a Glass Box.

There were Old looking Knifes, Big Teeths, Bones etc but in the centre of the room he saw a Pillar that stood out from the rest.

It was the only one with Intricate designs on the Pillar and a Carpet underneath it.

The room was dark, and the moon rays shining through the windows overlooking the endless ocean illuminated the glass in the center as if it was attracting mr to it.

He took a closer look at it and saw a magnificent pot, it had a cracked exterior and it easily stood out from the rest due to some kind of magical radiance and attraction it exuded.

The pot had seen thousands of years of history and had survived and even ended up becoming a symbol related to God holding a Pricless value to it.

His breathing become ragged as he wondered if what he was about to do was even worth the Money that he would get from Stealing it.

But he instantly removed such a thought from his head and steeled his resolve.

It was either this or going back to barely living and he knew exactly what he wanted.

With renewed motivation he walked forth avoiding the Gazes of the still cameras that he slowly disable along the way until he was standing infront of it Staring at the Cracked Pot.

With a deep breath He swiftly connected the Glass cutting machine to the glass and adjusted the radius and flicked the first switch as it got attached and with a a little suction sound.

He flipped the second switch as the laser began cutting the glass.

He watched the laser as he felt sweat sliding down from his head and hitting his eyebrows.

His mind raced but he controlled himself thinking about the great Amounts of Money he would get from this.

He had struggled to live his life after he had finnaly escaped from that Shifhole he had called home.

He used to be an Orphan that was taken into a Secret Military Training Camp where he was trained to become a top class Soilder but his Physicality could never match there High, almost Insane expectations.

So he was removed and then trained to be a Spy for half a decade and done missions for the other half.

He had lived in a place that was nothing but an extremely smelly and cramped house, The Only Good thing he could think of about that place was the consistent supply of food.

Then when he finnaly escaped that place he was alredy 25 with no actuall skills in life where he struggled day in and day out, to even have a full meal for the whole day.

One day he was kidnapped and was offered a deal, The deal was to rob This Ancient Artifact for a reward of 100Million Dollars.

When he heard the reward his brain stopped working for a second followed by utter shock of what he was being asked to do.

He immediately wanted to refuse but had stopped himself.

He knew that that money would literally change his life, but he was reluctant about what he was being asked to do.

He had never been experienced their and he was sure he was there first pick for this job as every sane must have rejected them.

But he wondered.

'What Do I Have To Lose Other Than My Life? And if my life and I get sen tto prison.

So What?

Atleast prison provides all three Meals to there Inmates no matter how bad it would taste.

It would still be better than my current situation'

In the end he decided to do it, It was either or continuing to Strugle with survival.

'What was I thinking' he thought to himself as he focused on the laser that was about to completely cut through the glass and the next few seconds a soft beep chimed.

He quickly moved his hands as he pulled of the glass leaving a circle in the Glass Box that was big enough for him to take the Cracked Vase out.

'Its time' he thought to himself as he reached his hands in there and gripped onto the vase letting go of all of his doubts.

He pulled out the vase from its podium when suddenly a Loud Blairing resounded through the silence of the Night causing him to jump a bit in fright.

He heard multiple Shouts coming from the Main Gate as he audibly swallowed and felt heart start beating faster.

He turned his back to the Podium and dashed with all his might towards the Window as he heard the doors behind him fling open.

"There!, Shoot the Intruder!" A Shout resounded from one person causing the his eyes to widen as his mind was filled with him questioning himself as to just how he missed the Motion sensor that were placed under each Item.

He gritted his teeth as he jumped through the hole landing himself In the Balcony that was now brightly lit, making him easily spottable.

His heart raced at a million miles as he saw the Gaurds inside running at him.

Time seemed to have slowed down seeing there Guns Moving to aim straight at him.

He felt his blood go cold and he froze for a second before he quickly got back in controll and jumped of the Balcony.

As he began a freefall into the ocean to escape.

He felt a sense of rush fill his body as adrenaline pumped through him.

He had just made a successful escape, He realized with a soft chuckle.

Suddenly however a loud bang resounded through the Air.

As he was Freefalling filled with Adrenaline he heard something shatter and a piercing pain filled his chest causing his eyes to go wide open as he realized he had been shot as he smashed into the ocean.
