...

He looks at something in the distance, very intensely.

 

"Hey, Owen right? What are you looking at?"

"Oh, it's nothing, just uh..."

"It's a bit of a secret, but I guess since Nadia hired you, I can tell you. But only you!"

"Ángel seems distracted, but we can whisper if you'd like"

"Yeah! Ok, so.

Have you been to the observatory tower? Is really cool, We were hanging out in there, but the storm got really bad all of a sudden, so we had to go down"

"The thing is, while we were there, we saw something."

"Some type of toolshed near the house, between the trees. Nadia thinks something important might be in there"

"So I wanted to investigate! But the storm is getting worse, and I dont want to get lost in such a short walk just because I can barely see. That would be embarrassing!"

"Now I'm just frustrated, I guess"

"A toolshed? Hidden near the house?

Wait a minute.

Ángel was searching something like that, a secret room or compartment that could fit a person, right? This is it.

If there's anything worth stealing for him, it would be in there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have a plan"

 

"I can go with you if you'd like.

Going through strong storms isn't new for me. It comes with the job."

"Really? You think you can do it?"

"I can go first, and you just follow me!"

"Yes! I'll do it! You are the second coolest old man I've ever met"

"... Who's the first?"

"Santa, obviously"

"Ah, obviously."

"Isn't this kid like, 16?"

"Although there is only one problem"

"We need to distract him"

"Huh?"

"Well, you said it was secret, right? He's a bit of a mother hen, so he'll want to follow us"

"And I can't let him steal in front of my eyes, I need to get to it first. He can't know"

"I love hiding things from authorities. What do we tell him?"
